Our team is made up of 8 amazing individuals. You can read their bios and learn more about each of them by visiting our About page.

We’ve never been actively hiring when we’ve hired someone. Sometimes, the vibe is right and we do what we can to get that individual on the team. If you’re kind, thoughtful, passionate, have experience and don’t mind being bossed around by a woman, send an email to info@autumnhunterdesign.com.

Just click the “request an estimate” button at the top of the page. You’ll fill out a form, show us your inspiration and Kim will reach out to schedule an estimate if needed. If not, she’ll let you know our hourly rate for that service and schedule a tech. Super easy!

In the initial phase, Steffanie will come evaluate your project and provide an estimate of our anticipated labor costs for the project. Once you agree to that, we can plan out design and more specifics.We don’t typically estimate materials cost i.e. tiles because everyone’s taste is different and every tile is a different price. In a perfect world, before your project begins, Steffanie and the Project Manager assigned to the job will come and confirm all portions of the project before we begin. After that, your Project Manager is your main contact. He will be on site most days to make sure the job is being completed to your standards and what we had agreed upon. We don’t sub out our work so our team will be with you from start to finish!

We accept all major credit cards, zelle and venmo. If you accept an estimate, you’ll receive an invoice for your deposit. All invoices can be paid online, unless you prefer to pay via zelle or venmo.

No, your deposit is not refundable. However, if you want to change your deposit to a new project, we can certainly accommodate that. The deposit is used to reserve time in our calendar so we don’t over-book ourselves. It also allows us to purchase materials prior to your job beginning so that we can be prepared.

Yes, if you need, we can provide our insurance and bond information for your project.

Generally 20 miles from Richmond. We service Ashland to the north, Chester to the south, Chesterfield/Goochland to the west and Hanover/East End of Henrico to the east. However, we have made special considerations for specific projects. If your project is outside of these areas, let us know and if we can’t help you, we’ll try and find someone who can!

We have a whole entire team of people that we trust and rely on for times when things go beyond the scope of what we are able to do. From HVAC to roofing and flooring, we have trusted partners we’re happy to connect you to!

That varies and this is why we do estimates. We are not the cheapest, but also not the most expensive either. Our typical hourly rate for two employees is $195. This varies based on type of job, skill level and length of the project. We are always happy to do a free estimate. But keep in mind, an estimate is just an educated guess!

Your best bet is by email, info@autumnhunterdesign.com. If Steffanie is with clients and Kim can handle it, she will. Both Steffanie and Kim monitor this email. If it needs immediate attention, Kim can get in touch with Steffanie super fast.
