Understood our vision and our budget and could not have done a better job exceeding our expectations

This is my heartfelt endorsement of the professionalism, creativity and customer service provided by Marilyn Hansen and The Designers. Marilyn and her staff are knowledgeable, versatile and up to date on all current design trends and provide well informed suggestions on creative materials and finishes to produce an outstanding result. Marilyn’s incredible attention to detail and sense of style add to every project’s success. The Designers understood our vision as well as our budget and could not have done a better job exceeding our expectations. I couldn’t be more confident when I recommend Marilyn and her firm, The Designers, to my clients, business associates and friends.

Marilyn is extremely knowledgeable about construction

My husband and I have had the privilege of working with Marilyn Hansen on two different homes over the past 10+ years. Marilyn is truly unique in that she takes the necessary time to get to know each client personally so that she can formulate suggestions that are appealing in achieving the perfect end results. Marilyn is extremely knowledgeable about construction in general which is a quality that sets her apart from the competition. Marilyn is honest, hard-working, and fully dedicated to her profession.

I should have her card at my front door since everyone wants to know who helped me

My husband and I undertook a major remodel of our condominium in 2006. Our first important decision was to contact Marilyn Hansen. We have remarked to each other dozens of times what a good decision that was. She saved us from ourselves! So many things (small and large) ended up being so helpful and saved us many dollars! Marilyn is different than many other designers in that she serves as the general contractor. When we needed a plumber and an electrician to show up at the same time, Marilyn got it done. Her crew respects her and she respects them. They are clean, fast, reliable, and follow up on any problems. We continue to be very happy with the results... Marilyn Hansen has helped me with several design projects over the years. I just moved into my new home and could not have done it without Marilyn’s design and project coordination. I should have her card at my front door since everyone visiting my new home wants to know who helped me design and make selections. I love my home and know it really could not have been possible without the expertise, professionalism, and hard work of Marilyn.

Works tirelessly to find the most creative, beautiful and cost effective designs for her clients

We have known Marilyn for forty years both as our friend and as our designer.  She has shepherded us through new home owner jitters and furniture buying; and then, through two major home remodels and most recently with a new home construction.... Marilyn works tirelessly to find the most creative, beautiful and cost effective designs for her clients.  We have trusted Marilyn’s artistic ability to help us with large and small jobs on a limited budget.  She is always professional as well as being warm and sincere with her desire to make us happy.  We love her sense of humor and her quick wit. She has been known to break out in song just at the right time to settle nerves or lighten a mood.  We would never hesitate to recommend Marilyn Hansen to our friends and neighbors.
