Your Renovation, Without the Worry: How We Keep Things on Track Behind the Scenes
Renovating your home is one of the most exciting investments you can make. It's also one that benefits from a thoughtful, well-planned approach, especially when it comes to sourcing furnishings and materials. At AVCO Design, we've built our process around one simple idea: no surprises.
Here's a look at how we keep projects running smoothly, even when the supply chain doesn't.
What We Do Differently
We communicate early and often. From our very first meeting, we set clear expectations about timelines and lead times. You'll receive regular updates, often weekly, so you always know where things stand. When you're informed, you feel empowered, and that matters just as much as the design itself.
We help you make confident decisions on time. Quick, well-supported decisions lead to fewer delays and better results. A fabric or fixture available today may be gone next month, and custom items can't enter production until selections are finalized. We guide you through these choices efficiently, without ever making you feel rushed.
We source creatively. We scout showroom floors, retail inventories, and vintage markets to find beautiful, high-quality pieces available right now. Vintage and antique finds add character, and they sidestep manufacturing and shipping holdups entirely. Our approach: if it's not in stock, we think twice before committing. Of course, when custom is the right call, we make that happen too.
We champion local craftsmanship. We work with trusted artisans right here in Sonoma County, along with top domestic makers in North Carolina, the furniture-making capital of the U.S. Local sourcing often means shorter timelines, higher-quality craftsmanship, and surprisingly competitive pricing once you factor in import and shipping costs.
We always have a backup plan. We present a primary design scheme and a contingency plan from the start. If a preferred item is backordered or delayed, we already have an alternative ready. You stay in control and confident, even when the unexpected comes up.
Our contracts protect you. We've updated our agreements to reflect today's realities, with clear language around delivery timelines and cost variables. And we work to secure price guarantees from our vendors whenever possible, because protecting your investment is a priority.
