How to choose a home designer in St. Charles

  • Ask whether they'll coordinate with your builder and stay involved during construction.
  • Read reviews for communication and deadlines — the common complaints are slow drawings and scope creep.
  • Match the pro to the job — an architect for structural or complex work, a home designer for many remodels and additions.
  • Review a portfolio of built St. Charles-area projects in your style and budget, not just renderings.
  • Confirm licensing and who stamps the drawings, and whether they handle permits and inspections.
