Allan Retterath has done work for my homebuilding company for more than 20 years. We specialize in new, custom home builds as well as some remodels.
Allan has always exceeded our expectations with regards to his vision for selection interior materials such as cabinets, flooring, light fixtures, appliances, plumbing fixtures, granite and tile for baths. Allan is a full service, turnkey designer. He has done everything from a small bathroom remodel to furnishing over 40-50 homes in my business career as showcase homes.
His professionalism has definitely maximized my return on investment for his services, always achieving a higher sale price. His knowledge of furniture is over the top. He could walk in any model home and tell you style of furniture and the manufacturer. Allan has done work for family and friends of my company as well as furnishing our corporate office.

From start to finish Allan was hands on guiding us all the way through completion of our newly constructed home. We had done almost every upgrade imagined and Allan helped pick colors, material, furnishings, wall art, decor, window treatments, wall colors, the whole shebang!
The choices he offered helped us reduce time in finding the perfect pcs to fit into our design style. The finished product we could not be more pleased. All of our guests are in awe when first walking into our decorated home. Allan has the touch and eye for making rooms come together. Trust him, he will get it done. We highly recommend him and will definitely use him in our office project soon.

Allan is a joy to work with in all phases of our project. He’s incredibly patient and not overbearing. His holistic knowledge of all genres of design—from traditional to contemporary—is extremely helpful. Moreover, unlike other decorators, he won’t “pigeon hole” the project to a specific genre he likes or specialized in. Rather, he worked with our taste, style and vision and then raised it up another level with his touch and design. I’d also commend his knowledge and expertise beyond just design and decorating because Allan is more than just a decorator who was instrumental during ALL PHASES of our remodel— both interior and exterior. This includes even landscape design! Overall we’re very satisfied and happy with Allan and would recommend him to anyone. More...
