Renovation goes wrong in predictable ways: the timeline, the variation orders, and the thing nobody wrote down. These 8 guides cover interior design firms for residential, high-end residential and commercial work, renovation companies and contractors, painting services and interior paint. Each list covers what the firm handles and the kind of project it is built for, because the outfit that does a full landed rebuild is not usually the one you want for a three-room touch-up. Get the quote itemised, get the schedule in writing, and agree what a variation costs before work starts. The firms comfortable with all three are the ones worth shortlisting.
