Our Three-Phase Approach to Interior Design
In business nearly 30 years, MainStreet Design Build has developed a simple, streamlined process for interior design that enables clients to relax throughout their project, confident in our execution. Our three-phase approach is designed to help you plan and design a stylistic, cost-effective solution for your home while keeping you informed and fully immersed in the details. Our process also ensures that you will have full approval on issues of style and budget before work commences.
Phase 1: Initial Consultation, Intake, and Brainstorming
During the intake process, we will determine the design scope of your project, finding your vision for style and how you want to make use of your living space. Our goal is to customize all design elements so you will feel happy and comfortable in your home—working together collaboratively to find the best option(s) for you.
What You Can Expect:
Phase 1 includes working out a budget with you and creating a timeline with project milestones. You’ll have an overall view of the project and what needs to be done and when. With all the project details settled, it’s time to begin the design work phase in earnest.
Phase 2: Design Work Begins
We take all of the information obtained from you during intake and develop a finished presentation with all of the interior design details. This process can take a few weeks, depending on the complexity of the project.
What You Can Expect:
Our team creates a presentation that describes the entire interior design effort and shows you how each element fits into your budget and time frame. In addition to seeing and feeling product selections and design samples, you will have a clear picture of your project and how every detail fits together through the use of 3D modeling—creating greater realism and depth.
At this point, your design project is starting to become real, with all of the intricate details coming together for your review and approval.
Phase 3: Transforming the Vision for Your Space into Reality
Now your home is undergoing a dramatic transformation. During phase 3, once you have given your approval for the design plans, our talented team gets to work on carrying out your vision.
What You Can Expect:
Our many years of experience enables us to develop a well-thought-out budget and schedule, which we will finish on time and within our agreed upon financial requirements. During this time, all of the customized design elements you require are being built or ordered, ready for delivery when the time comes.
The final step is the installation. This is where we take your interior space(s) and turn it into a beautiful work of art, worthy of being on the cover of a magazine!

“We hired Main Street Design Build for our laundry room and kitchen remodel. Like most people, we were nervous to take on such a large project, but after our first meeting with Steve, our nerves were put to rest. The entire staff exceeded our expectations at every stage of our project. The attention to detail, beautiful design options and finishes and level of communication that they offer is unique. It was an A+ experience from the office staff/designers/skilled trades and of course, our amazing project manager who made everything run smooth, on schedule, and on budget. We now have a beautiful kitchen and laundry room that we love to show off – and everyone who has seen it is equally impressed (and a little jealous). We can’t wait for our next project.”
I want to let you know what an outstanding job Marq has been doing. Toward the end of the project we started communicating more by phone. He has been so responsive and attentive! My husband and I really appreciate him and we wanted to be sure to let you know! Big kudos to Marq!! I love the work you did SOOOO much! I am obsessed with the new space! We spoke to about 6 architects/contractors and nobody had the design ideas that Doug had. He had a vision and it was executed better than I could have even imagined! And with Christopher’s help/guidance- he made the interior design so fun/easy- he helped turned it into my dream space! As we wrap up this project I want to say THANK YOU! I could not be happier with our new space. As for Marq- I am so grateful for him! he helped up end this project on such a positive note. It feels great!
MainStreet was honest and upfront about the cost of our addition. There were no surprises – they did not low ball up front to add on at the end. The quality and professionalism of the entire team was outstanding. You truly get what you pay for with MainStreet.
They did an excellent job of design. Some very creative design features. They did a great job.
I can’t think of a way that they fell short. I was satisfied with the assistance that I received with regards to picking out the various pieces.
“I just wanted to let you know that even though summer is almost over we still get compliments on the work you did on our front porch. We are sitting on the porch now and we always have people walking by on their way to the beach…..we are constantly told how beautiful our house looks. Thank you for everything and please pass this along to Kyle and everyone else.”
I am so happy with my overall experience with MainStreet Design Build! Christine, Steve, CHRISTOPHER:), Dwain, Marq, Rick, Kim, Izzy, all the other employees, contractors, and subcontractors were so incredibly nice, respectful, reliable, trustworthy – truly amazing! Thank you and I’m excited to work with all of you again!
The personnel we dealt with were very knowledgeable and helpful. Our project manager and interior designer provided guidance and suggestions and we are delighted with the outcome. The subcontractors used by MainStreet were excellent and if we encountered a problem our project manager got it resolved. We had issues with some defective products which set our project off schedule. MainStreet handled it very well pursuing the manufacturers and getting the products replaced and installed. MainStreet adhered to the schedule. Our bath tub and some bathroom fixtures did not cooperate. The project manager and interior designer on our job were exceptional and very helpful. We relied upon them for guidance and suggestions and we are very happy with the outcome.
Having heard horror stories from friends and family about their remodeling projects we were pleasantly surprised at the level of service, attention to detail, proactive communication, and quality service provided from MainStreet.
We love where we live – but we needed to add more space for our growing family. We were impressed with Steve’s design suggestions for better use of space and enhancements to our plans. They really do focus on quality and integrity in every aspect of their work.
