We started a 2,600 square-foot build-out of our basement and attic more than 2 years ago. Half-way through the project, it became clear to our General Contractor and us that we did we not have a suitable plan for the space, and we also did not have the right Project Manager to lead the effort to keep all parties focused on each and every step to completion. We hired Roberta given her Project Management expertise, though we viewed her design expertise as an added benefit. To our surprise and delight, we got the VERY best of both worlds — an exceptional Project Manager/General Manager and an unbelievable talented designer with an unmatched depth of technical skills. Roberta drove the job to final completion, and we could not be more happy with the final product. Her professional approach, her attention to us and the details, and her incredible talents with design and project leadership are like none we have seen or worked with before. We plan to work with Roberta for many years on many types of projects, and would recommend her as THE best in the Triangle area. — Review from January 2017
This project involved updating and redecorating the foyer, dining room, and music room of my home. Project components included paint, floor coverings, window treatments, light fixtures, wall molding, fabric selection for (reupholstering) both antique and contemporary furniture, and accessory placement. Roberta’s design expertise and project management resulted in beautifully and impeccably redecorated areas of my home. Work was completed within budget and on time. I am extremely satisfied with all aspects of this project and highly recommend Roberta Frank Designs. I list the top five attributes of Roberta Frank Designs: keen sense of style – design, efficient time management, clear communications, prompt follow-up, and listens to client. As well, Roberta is delightful to work and interact with! In the beginning, Roberta took time to ask questions and listened to understand my goals, tastes, lifestyle, and budget. She made certain to understand which of my existing art and furniture I wanted to keep and/or update. Roberta worked swiftly to provide options for my consideration. Options were presented with attention to detail and with consideration to overall project integration. Roberta’s selections and options were so attractive and appealing to my tastes, it was very easy for me to make final decisions. The project flowed smoothly and resulted in beautifully and impeccably redecorated areas of my home. As indicated above, I am extremely satisfied and highly recommend Roberta Frank Designs. — Review from November 2016
Over the past year Roberta worked with me to transform the downstairs of my home and what a job she has done. As I sit here looking through the rooms all I can think is I love it, it’s beautiful and is more than I could have hoped for. We ran the full gamut over the year from a complete remodeling of the kitchen to new curtains, rugs and reupholstering in the family and then paint and artwork in the living room, dining room and butler’s pantry. The paint pallet Roberta chose throughout the downstairs makes one room flow to the next as color and shade subtlety change. The kitchen has beautiful detail and has been such a pleasure to cook in with the large island and all the functional area. In the family room Roberta selected fabrics to reupholster the furniture and for new curtains. Lamps, coffee table, rug and art work were also chosen. Roberta added new contemporary pieces alongside furniture we have had for 25 years and the end result is a beautiful room with depth and breath. I love seeing how the pieces we have had over the years now add richness to the rooms. Roberta is also a strong business woman. She is very organized, budget conscience and always readily available. The contractors she works with are professional and concerned that Roberta’s customers are very happy with their work. The schedule over the course of the year progressed so smoothly. Roberta did an excellent job coordinating all aspects. I appreciate all the effort and passion Roberta put into this design. I am now a lifelong client. Beautifully done Roberta, Thank you.
