For Interior Designers

A Partnership Built for Designers

We partner with interior designers throughout Asheville and Western North Carolina to bring carefully considered spaces to life: on schedule, on budget, and with the level of craft your clients hired you to deliver.

What a Partnership Looks Like

Here is how we work, and what bringing OHR onto your project means in practice. We are the build partner who knows your design, shows up when we say we will, and treats your client’s home with the same care you brought to designing it.

Why Oak and Holly

What It Looks Like When the Craftsmanship Matches the Design

Craft-Forward in Every Build We care about how things are built, not just how they look when they are finished. That approach keeps us true to the design intent while delivering the level of craftsmanship your clients expect from the spaces you put your name on.

We Communicate Like a Partner Strong collaboration starts with clear communication. If something comes up in the field that could affect your design, we bring you into the conversation before any decision is made. You stay informed, and we make the right call together.

Your Clients Feel the Difference in the Room We make a point to be approachable, dependable, and considerate of the fact that your clients are living through a renovation. At the end of the project, we want them to be just as happy with the experience as they are with the finished space.

Attention to the Details

The intent of a well-considered design is carried through to the finished space. The places where two materials meet are where our work shows.

A Smoother Building Process

Taking ownership of our role keeps the build moving seamlessly for you and your client, from first site visit to final walkthrough.

People You Will Enjoy Working With

Our crew is personable, approachable, and reliable. The working relationship matters as much as the finished product.

A Relationship That Works Both Ways

When your clients need a trusted builder, you should be able to refer with confidence. When we need the right designer, we should be able to do the same.

What to Expect

Our Designer Partnership Model

We built this partnership with one thing in mind: making it easy for you to bring us into your projects with confidence.

Protection of Your Role with the Client
Your relationship with your client is yours. We work within it and actively support it. Our crew knows who the designer is, who leads the aesthetic decisions, and how to represent both of you well on the job site.
No Substitutions Without Approval
Nothing is swapped, changed, or substituted without coming to you first. Your spec is the spec. If something is unavailable or backordered, we bring you the options before anyone makes a decision.
Proactive Problem-Solving That Keeps the Project Moving
When something comes up in the field, we do not wait for it to become your problem. We identify it, look at the options, and bring you a clear recommendation before any decision is made or any work is affected.
Designer-Sourced Materials Receive Special Treatment
Materials you source and arrange for delivery are handled with care on site and are contractually exempted from our 20% overhead and profit fee. This is confirmed in writing at the start of the project, not negotiated after the fact.
Scheduled Progress Communication
Regular updates keep you informed on timeline, open items, and what is coming next. You will never have to chase us for a status update on your project.
Three-Year Craftsmanship Support
Every project under our Home Improvement Agreement includes a 3-Year Craftsmanship Guarantee. Any workmanship issue is responded to within five business days, at no cost to you or your client. The work holds up, and we stand behind it.
What Sets Us Apart

Our Guarantee

Three-Year Craftsmanship Guarantee

Our Process

A Process You Can Count On

01

Site Visit

Our Project Manager visits, walks the scope with you and your client, takes measurements, and documents existing conditions.

02

Scope and Budget

Our estimator prepares a detailed scope and line-item budget, reviewed by the Director before it goes out. No surprises.

03

Revisions

We work through revisions with you and your client until the scope reflects exactly what is planned. Sign-off happens before anything moves forward.

04

Build Begins

Contract signed, deposit received, preconstruction scheduled. Work begins with a clear plan and a crew that knows your design.

Who You’re Working With

The Team

Our in-house Lead Carpenter, Site Supervisor, and Project Manager manage every project from start to finish. Our estimator prepares the scope and budget before any work begins.

For specialty trades, we bring in vetted subcontractors we have worked alongside for years. These are not names from a directory. They are people we trust who know exactly how we work.

Your Primary ContactYour point of contact throughout the project is our Project Manager, David, who knows your design and can answer for the build.

I was going to attempt to remodel the bathroom myself when I moved in but I’m so glad I hired Oak and Holly to do the work. I wanted quality both aesthetically and in a way that would last for years to come, and they delivered.”
