In this week’s episode, we sit down with interior design professional and Certified Residential Renovation Project Manager, Tracy Laqua, to pull back the curtain on what really goes into a well-managed home renovation. We unpack the key differences between an interior designer, a decorator, and a design professional—and why the distinction matters. Tracy also breaks down the roles of contractors, general contractors, home builders, and handymen, so you know exactly who to call when it’s time to renovate.
From managing timelines and budgets to providing an unbiased eye on design decisions, she walks us through her start-to-finish process and shares the biggest advantages of working with someone who sees both the creative and structural sides of your project. Plus, we answer the age-old question: should you hire a contractor or a design professional first?
If you’re thinking of renovating or just love learning how great spaces come together—this one's for you.
