Paul is very strong in all phases of design. He is incredible with kitchen and bathroom design, solid surface selection, lighting, color coordination, scale, fabrics, furniture selection and placement, hardware, etc…. His communication skills are excellent. Paul keeps you abreast of where you are on the project at all times. Unlike a lot of designers Paul also works well with the General Contractor and their subs. The 4 contractors that he has interacted with on our projects think that he is excellent. Paul understands what is realistic and what is not, something the GC’s truly value. Paul’s pricing is very fair and reasonable. As a client of Paul’s you get GREAT value for your dollars. You receive a finished product that reflects your vision, not the designer’s. We have enjoyed working with Paul Lewis on two projects – our home and a beach condo. What separates Paul from other interior designers we interviewed for the jobs was not only his talent but organization. This was very important to us because we are very busy and did not have time to run all over town making selections and spending time on the phone with different manufacturers. If there was ever a problem Paul handled it until it was corrected. For example, our custom couch arrived at our home after months of waiting and it was the completely wrong color than what we picked out. Paul worked tirelessly with the store and manufacturer to correct the problem. Instead of me spending my time and stress to correct the mistake, Paul worked on it until it was corrected. In addition, his professionalism is also something that stood out to us as clients. He was always on time and was respectful of our busy schedules. He was always willing to meet at night or weekends around our work schedules.
