FallingWater LLC

Description of Work: I called Joanie to help me with interior decorating and design ideas that I could implement myself. I want to sell the house as well within the next 1-2 years. I needed help with paint colors and suggestions for staging so I will not have to do things over again for the house to be able to go to market. Joanie came to the house and went through the interior with me. She was there for an hour and brought color samples along with her. With her help I was able to settle on colors that look great with the rest of the house. She made several suggestions for changes I may want to make with lighting, window treatments, and kitchen that would help to change the look of the house for very little cost. Joanie also gave me some contacts to pursue further changes as well. She has been available by phone for the few questions I have had that I didn't think to ask at the time she was here. Anytime I call she is very responsive and helpful with her answers. I will certainly use her again when I am ready to put the house on the market.

Description of Work: Consultation for LEED floor and wall coverings. Ms. McGrath contacted appropriate tradesmen to use environmentally LEED certified products to remodel our master bath. We are thrilled with the outcome and would absolutely use Falling Water in the future for aditional projects.

Description of Work: We were introduced to Joanie McGrath, Fallingwater, Inc. by our realtor. Joanie's purpose was to provide suggestions to optimize what a potential buyer would see and experience. We could not immediately execute on all her suggestions before putting the home on the market. In the first 60 days on Multiple Listing Service (MLS), there were a dozen showing and on unacceptable offer. So, we pulled the listing off MLS and executed on the remainder of Joanie's suggestions. The result was phenomenal. When we re-listed the property, there were 21 showings in 29 days and an acceptable offer. The return on investment on Joanie's recommendations is approximately 80 percent. Working with Joanie was both an enjoyable and efficient experience. She is a design professional who honored our sense of style, enhancing it at minimal cost with elements that appealed to us and the market. Access to her network of reputable contractors and vendors proved to be invaluable, as was her interface with them. She maintained a courtesy vigil over our seven-week project from start to finish. We very highly recommend Fallingwater and Joanie McGrath to those of you who wish to bring your surroundings to a new level. We will utilize her services again.

Description of Work: As owner of a Louisiana plantation home designed by A. Hays Town, I have found it difficult at best to update anything in my home without negatively affecting its historic nature. A friend of mine in downtown Chicago recommended Joan McGrath to me; she was able to direct changes in style that bridged the gap between the traditional that cannot be changed and the new green lifestyle I have come to desire. The result is a home that hasn't lost its traditional appeal when modern touches were applied. Joan brought the computer age to my Gone With the Wind environment and did it on time and within budget. I was and am very pleased with her work.
