"There have been many times I wanted to move ahead with projects in my home, but put them aside concerned about being overwhelmed, confused or indecisive. Our experience with Lenore has been very positive in so many ways. Projects were completed with results that exceeded my expectations. Lenore made it comfortable for my husband and I to disagree - but helped us painlessly come to a mutually agreeable decision.
She genuinely enjoyed the challenges we brought her and in turn brought us solutions. She moves a project along at a good pace, and is a very good listener.” Mimi H., Nyack, NY
