Happy Clients' Homes

- Connie & Dave -

Designing Moves is a very professional company. Very strong problem solving skills. Very intuitive to client needs and wishes. Very useful in having an established network for other services such as cleaning, junk removal, etc.
We were very satisfied and really did not experience any areas that were lacking. I so appreciated the personal touch and amount of attention to detail and follow up. It made it so much easier to let the pros handle the move.

The personal attention, thorough explanation, many times repeated, patience with my many questions was impressive. I felt comfortable and confident with service after the initial visit. I didn’t have to do hardly anything! Move day had a lot of extra challenges! Electricity going out, rain, storage area mix up … Designing Moves handled very professional and was able to be flexible with the diversions. Thank you!

– Sandra H. -

“Christine can do it all – from soup to nuts. From spending hours in the basement tackling 16 years of collection to assisting the electrician with hanging light fixtures, she does it all with upbeat optimism and a ‘can do it all’ attitude. Always responsible and reliable, working with her or letting her handle the job on her own – I plan on using her again and again. ”

– Charles L. (after moving his sister to assisted living) -

“It is very rare to find a professional work ethic as keen as what you displayed over the last two days. You stepped into a real mess, took charge and adapted and over-came much adversity. When you left yesterday afternoon, Barb was completely moved-in, her things all in a proper place and cleaned and orderly. Your relentless good cheer and willing attitude was very, very, comforting to both Barb and me and was most helpful to an otherwise troubling process and we are indebted to you beyond any financial measure.”

“On her first visit to my home Christine walked into my living room and was able to immediately see the changes that would transform my room. With her knowledge and expertise of decorating we were able to work with what I had and add to it to personalize and create a warm inviting atmosphere. Christine was able to envision what I couldn’t see. I am very grateful and highly recommend her. She went beyond what I had expected. I am very happy to add my comments and name to her website. Thank you Christine.”

– Mary Kaye N. -

“I have had the pleasure of working with Christine several times in my home. She has a knack of knowing what you’re thinking and how to make the most of space, design and cost. She is respectful, polite and knowledgeable! It is so obvious she has a passion for what she does. I have and will continue to refer friends and family to Designing Moves LLC®. Thank you Christine!”
