F.A.Q.’s ~ Frequently Asked Questions:

Staging FAQ’s:

  • How long does the staging last?

    • The initial staging term is 30 days and is included in the project pricing.  After 30 days, staging can be renewed on a monthly basis.  The pricing for a monthly extension is 60% of the original project pricing.  We’re also happy to work with you if you need a shorter extension term.  

  • How long does it take to install?

    • Depending on the scope of staging, the average installation is usually around 2-6 hours.  

  • Can I be around while you’re staging?

    • Yes, you can!  But, you’re not required to be there.  

    • In fact, if it is a vacant staging project, our installation goes faster if we can be the only team on-site.  

    • We also ask that our team be the only and final subcontractor on-site during the scheduled installation. 

  • How do you price the staging?

    • Pricing is based on the number and size of rooms that will be staged.

    • We try to walk through properties and hear from you about what areas to stage and the overall style of the property.  Then we’ll put together a written proposal for your review with estimated pricing. 

    • We work directly with both realtors and/or homeowners to offer custom packages to address the specific needs of the property.

  • Do you work with professional renovators, design+build teams, and flippers?

    • Absolutely!  We specialize in creating custom, design-forward staging for freshly renovated homes.  The level of detail provided with this service is perfect for interior photography for your business’s portfolio.  

    • We like to walk through the project 4-8 weeks prior to your intended listing date so we have time to source unique and/or bespoke pieces for your project.   

  • Will you put together a proposal with images of the particular pieces that will be used in the staging? 

    • We can refer you to our portfolio to provide an idea of the look that we will create in your space.  

  • Can you use some or all of my stuff for the staging?

    • If you’re living in your home while it is on the market, we are happy to use only your goodies.  It’s more comfortable for you!

    • If you are moving but are able to leave some things, we will do our best to use your items and bring in supplemental pieces to round out the spaces.

  • How do I keep my house looking like you styled it if I’m living in the home?

    • We recommend you take pictures as soon as we leave to refer to as you reset the home for photos, open houses, or showings.

  • For a live-in staging appointment (speed stage), are there any supplies I should have on-site for my appointment time?

    • There are no supplies required but you may find it helpful to have some boxes on-site so you can pack up items that are not required to be in the home while it is listed.  

Design FAQ’s:

  • What design services do you have available?

    • Design Consultation- we provide design consultation by the hour at your home.  You get to decide how to use the time.  Some people find it helpful to use the time to source particular elements for the home- art, textiles, furniture, etc.  Or we can restyle spaces in your home using what you already have there.  Or we can do some visionary planning for potential renovations.  

  • Design Projects- whole home renovations, from kitchens, living rooms, bathrooms, dining rooms, and basements, we can design, plan, source, and coordinate with your GC.  

  • Investor Flips- we provide a comprehensive plan from floors, paint, kitchen cabinets, tile, etc to maximize your investment.  Our selections are appropriate to the style, architecture of the property, and budget.  Or we use the design selections as an opportunity to imbue the home with a definitive design style.
