Before I met Pam Fruhauf, a well-known realtor in our community, who had sold Pam a new house, told me Pam was a great interior designer. The realtor personally referred her clients to Pam when a home she was selling was in need of renovation or decor.  When the house of my dreams hit a desperate need for remodel, I called Pam to help me.  She was able to develop a plan with beautiful materials that was in our budget.  Pam has a selection of craftsmen who she has worked with for many years.  They were all very easy to work with and comfortable to have in my home.  Pam has a wide variety of professional contacts who can handle any type of construction issue.   From my experience, they greatly respect her word and opinion.  I had the benefit of being inside of Pam’s home before we worked together and it is a testament to her fine taste.  Her design skill both residential and commercial, combined with a good business acumen and very pleasing personality, make Pam an excellent interior designer. We are now working on our third project with Pam.  Each project has gone  smoothly with her diligence and attention to detail. I would recommend her in a heartbeat.

We feel very fortunate to have found Pam for our interior design and subcontracting work. Beginning with our first meeting we were confident she would be able to help make our house beautiful and functional. At that first meeting, Pam was able to discern our tastes from a few inspiration pictures and develop a plan. She is as skilled in listening to her clients as she is in designing for them. I appreciated the way she took our projects from overwhelming to focused. My husband and I were impressed by her ability to stay in budget and on a time line. She has a gift for mixing in inexpensive with high quality to gain maximum visual & functional impact. 

Pam has an extensive cadre of subcontractors. Her detail oriented approach and close relationship with her subs results in high quality, timely work. She is the only general contractor that we have used who finished our project early! Our house is a home that we love being in due to Pam’s help.

Pam helped us with a total remodel of 2 bathrooms and the kitchen. Everything turned out just gorgeous! She is a true professional and she and her team stand behind their work. She also did window treatments for us and found a few other pieces of furniture that I just love. And a bonus…she’s so sweet!

Pam has helped me with three different homes over the last 10 years. She is a delight to work with and has great team of craftsmen who provide high quality service under her watchful eye. Pam has done everything for me from design and supervision of total kitchen and bath renovations to custom bedding, pillows and window treatments to custom decorative paint treatments. She has a fabulous way of taking my ideas and style and integrating them in ways I would never have thought of. She is imaginative, resourceful, efficient, and professional. You’ll love working with Pam and her team.

I have used Finishing Effects twice, 2 years ago for a major remodel of our business and recently to decorate our new home. Both experiences were exceptional. Pam is a joy to work with. She is a true professional and her skills as a designer are only exceeded by the level of customer service she provides. Highly recommended!!!

I have known and worked with Pam for about 5 years now. She helped me “freshen up” my old house – and then when we moved recently, she was invaluable! She helped me place my existing furnishings/decor and purchase new items as needed. Her resources are incredible! I feel like she did an excellent job – without breaking the bank. I will continue to use her for years!
