“Paula helped me remodel my kitchen and paint my condo. She is just terrific. She took into account what I wanted, and helped bring it out. I have recommended her to a couple friends, and I would recommend her to any of the Good Service Guide readers.”
“Paula remodeled our living room and helped us acquire a bunch of furniture. She took my wife to the design center and looked at fabrics with her. We get comments about our furniture all the time! Paula is a very reputable person with great integrity and we would gladly use her again.”
“I had remodeled my kitchen on my own before. There was no way I was going to do that again! It was such a relief to Paula in charge. She dealt with all of the contractors and was so practical and helpful. It is great to have someone at your side.”

“Practical design for practical people” is interior designer Paula Albinson’s motto. Listed in The Good Service Guide for 12 years, Paula recently became a state-licensed general contractor, enabling her to dramatically expand the services she can offer local homeowners
“Having a contractor’s license means that I can now handle the more complex renovations that clients often request as part of an interior makeover – things like tearing out or moving walls, or creating new built-ins and storage.
“I am still primarily an interior designer,” says Paula. “Only now I can bring in skilled craftsmen and tradespeople, coordinate their schedules, and manage the project so that I am the only person the homeowner has to deal with.”
Paula works with homeowners and small businesses on all kinds of interior renovations. She will help you visualize different design choices, so that you arrive at a stylish interior that looks effortlessly put together. From kitchen cabinets and window and floor coverings, to picking out fabrics, colors and textures, accessories and lighting, Paula can find the perfect furnishings while supervising the entire project.
“Most of my clients know the look they want, but they don’t know how to do it, or who to do it. I help them put together affordable, aesthetic solutions, while steering them away from expensive mistakes.”
Whether you’re planning a major face-lift or just a quick bathroom makeover, Paula will help you determine your design direction. If you like, she can draw up a master plan, so that you can stretch your decorating budget by only doing one room at a time.
At Paula’s website, www.environmentswork.com, you can see numerous “before and after” photos of her work for San Francisco homeowners.
