HOW MUCH HELP DO YOU NEED?

Whether you want an expert opinion on a few decisions or someone beside you through an entire remodel, here's what each level of help looks like and what it costs.

~85%

Of our clients have never worked with a designer before. You're in good company.

About 85% of our clients come to us having never hired a designer or gone through a major remodel. We make it easy to understand what you're getting at each level.

Three levels of help

3 ways we can help you

Hourly Design

You know what you want, but just need some expert help.

$200 / hour

Best for homeowners managing the project themselves who want an expert eye on specific decisions. Including but not limited to:

  • Furniture layouts
  • Paint colors
  • Finish selections
  • A second opinion before you commit

Starting investment: $200, billed for the time you use.

Basic Drawings

You need a plan your contractor can actually work from.

Starting at $1,000 / room

Best for someone who's already made most of the decisions but needs them turned into an accurate, buildable plan.

  • Floor plans & elevations
  • Sections & measurements
  • Electrical plans

You make the design decisions. We turn them into a usable plan.

Full-Service Design

You don't want to figure this remodel out by yourself.

Starting at $2,700 / room

Best for homeowners who want someone involved in shaping the design. Includes everything in Basic Drawings and much more.

  • Concept development & space planning
  • Finish, fixture & furniture selections
  • Custom touches & regular design meetings
  • Construction planning

Skip the dozens of unfamiliar decisions that come with a remodel.

5 star rating

"We approached Kristie about designing a layout for our basement from 3 big rooms to 5 smaller rooms with very challenging mechanicals to work around. She listened carefully to our needs and implemented everything we asked for--even a laundry shoot. We have a clear and professional floor plan to present to a contractor with exactly what we want. I am so glad we started with Alaric before the build out. Now we are confident there will be no surprises and we will be happy with the results. I definitely recommend reaching out to her before you begin your project."

Common questions

FrEQUENTLY ASKED PRICING QUESTIONS

What if I'm not sure which service I need?toggle

That's normal. Tell us what you're working on through the Contact form below and we'll help you figure out the right starting point.

Can I start hourly and upgrade later?toggle

Yes. If you upgrade within your first three design meetings, what you've already paid is applied toward the new package.

Why does pricing vary by room?toggle

Prices apply to standard-sized rooms. An oversized room — a primary bedroom with a sitting area, for example — needs a custom quote after we've seen the space.

Still deciding?

Still not sure where your project fits?

You don't need to figure that out on your own. Tell us a little about what you're planning and we'll guide you from there.
