"Ins & Outs decorating is top notch! All the work MaryJo and her guys did in our living room, kitchen, foyer, and upstairs hallway was completed in a timely, neat, and professional manner. Any time we had a question or concern it was answered or addressed in a thorough, respectful, and positive manner. I felt very comfortable with of our communication. The renovating and decorating advice they provided was artistic and suitable to our style and lifestyle. They truly get to know their customers! We will surely be hiring Ins & Outs Decorating for future projects!"

"We worked with Maryjo on our master bedroom & bathroom remodel, full bathroom remodel and basement finishing. We couldn't be happier with the results! Highly recommend to anyone considering remodeling their bathroom, bedroom, basement, kitchen or anything else! We'll be working with Maryjo on all future projects. We had intentions of starting the bathroom remodels on our own. We purchased tile and fell victim to "analysis paralysis." Everything came to a stop. And then... Maryjo to the rescue! Not only did she do fantastic design work, but she expertly managed the project coordinating plumbing, electrical, cabinets, countertops, shower doors, flooring, blinds, paint, trim & more. She helped us by narrowing an infinite number of choices in each area down to a manageable few. She quickly learned our style & would present us with a few options, one of which would typically challenge us to leave our "comfort zone." When we were brave enough to follow her, we were never disappointed! All the while she had her eye on the budget, constantly looking for ways to save us some money. On top of all that, she planned the project and adjusted as needed to minimize disruption to the rest of our house, our schedules and our lives. Her team all did outstanding work. Everyone that came into our home through Maryjo was professional, friendly and a pleasure to work with. Thank you Maryjo! You've transformed our home and how we use our space & enjoy it."

"I engaged Maryjo when I started remodeling the house I just bought, I am so really glad that I hired her and really enjoyed working with her to make my dream home come true. She was involved in the remodeling design (Kitchen and Master Bath), and later on the interior design. She is very experienced and knowledgeable; she gave me several excellent recommendations during the kitchen design phase that truly add to the beauty and functionality of the kitchen. She is also really great in finding the right products within the budget. She really understands my vision, so her recommendations, from remodeling design, to choice of materials, to selections of furniture and artwork, are always spot-on, and truly reflects my style and taste. She has well-trained eyes for colors and texture, so all the rooms come together beautifully. I will definitely recommend Maryjo to anyone who is looking for a professional and talented designer. I will for sure hire her again for future projects."

"Maryjo is fantastic! After listening to our wants and needs she orchestrated a complete renovation of our kitchen and surrounding dining, living and family rooms. It looks beautiful! A window was enlarged and a wall was removed. All the cabinets, flooring, appliances, doors and countertops were replaced. New lighting was expertly placed. Crown and base moulding were installed and everything was painted. It is so open and bright. We love it! We had received estimates from contractors and other kitchen designers over the years and never felt it was the right fit. Maryjo is the perfect combination of professionalism, personalization and patience. She and her staff kept everything coordinated and on schedule. The contractors she works with are wonderful, especially Chris, Doug and Eric. Everyone was so professional and communicated every step of the way. We appreciate how smoothly everything went and all the hard work everyone put in. We highly recommend her and look forward to other projects in the future."

"Maryjo and her team of contractors helped me from beginning to end with a complete renovation of a condo in Center City Philadelphia. The most important thing she did was listen -- and then work tirelessly to make the result exactly what I was after. I couldn't be more pleased with the outcome."

"The minute I met with Maryjo from Ins & outs decorating, LLC, I knew that she was the right and qualified person to manage the renovation at our house. Maryjo had great suggestions on opening the floor plan, she suggested turning the old office into our current dining room and the old dining room became part of the new gorgeous and spacious kitchen that I have always dreamt of having, I still cannot believe the transformation.
On top of her great ideas, Maryjo is very dedicated to her work; I was incredibly pleased with her creativity, professionalism and attention to details. Maryjo also works with a great team; Chris, Doug and Eric were fantastic to work with. I heard so many stories about renovations gone wrong, took too long and cost more, none of that happened, everything worked like a Swiss watch, and Maryjo was the mastermind behind coordinating all the work, the inspections etc…I would recommend Maryjo for any type of renovation, and I am looking forward to working with her soon."

"Ins and Outs provides outstanding interior decoration design guidance and service at very reasonable cost. The owner/founder, Maryjo Eckhard has an artist's eye; she sees possibilities that others can't and she also has a keen sense of making space welcoming and practically functional at the same time. The Ins and Outs network of home services professionals are all of top quality and very trustworthy. I worked with Ins and Outs twice on home redecorating projects, and both times I have been completely satisfied with the bathroom renovations, kitchen updates, floor refinishing, painting and furniture selection. The two properties were completely transformed!"

"In a word AWESOME. Ins and Outs decorating provided a full solution to our Kitchen, Living Room, Dining Room renovation project. From the first meeting until the last hammer was packed away Maryjo was there to provide great design , coordination, communication, and thoughtful resolution to numerous project aspects. She coordinated a team of professionals to bring together very successfully, in a short timeframe , a very detailed , complex project that we can only see as Awesome. We believe that Maryjo made all the difference to making this project the success it is. Yes, we could have done some of this on our own, but it would not have been the project that delivered what we wanted and needed in a short timeframe. We would highly recommend Ins and Outs Decorating for any remodeling project you would want to tackle."

"I hired Maryjo Eckhard from Ins and Outs Decorating Llc of Hillsborough, NJ in September to help me update my kitchen. Maryjo was professional and always on time for our meetings. She really listened to what I said and was a tremendous help in helping me make decisions. The whole process was overwhelming to me at the start, Maryjo broke down every step and made the process so easy. She came in under budget and the result is a beautiful kitchen. I've had so many compliments and friends asking for Maryjo's number when they are ready to update their kitchens. The backsplash is going in now, I was hoping to send a picture of the beautiful design Maryjo helped me create,but I wanted this review to be considered first. I would highly recommend Maryjo and I can say I've made a new friend!!"

"MaryJo is a true professional. She astounds me with her vision for beauty and design. We just finished our master bath project. From tile choice, granite selection, cabinetry and color suggestions, MaryJo has created a masterpiece for us. She never made me feel overwhelmed. She guided us along, made her suggestions, met as promised for every appointment and transformed our once-horrible bathroom into a gorgeous space. She continues to exceed all of our expectations of an interior designer. She focused on my style, listened to my ideas, then transformed the room with her keen eye, creativity and professional approach. Now that this room is done, we are moving on to the Master Bedroom! Looking forward to our next project together! Oh, did I mention...I also got a great new friend out of the deal! What a gem that MaryJo!"
