Self-made designer guides clients through remodeling stress
Merri Interiors began during a rather inauspicious time – the market crash of 2008 had left the economy in a complete shambles, and Meredith Weiss herself was experiencing a time of personal turmoil and tribulation.
Amidst all this, however, Weiss managed to start up her business from scratch, building her own website, gathering photographs of projects and developing a business model that worked for her.
Fast forward almost 10 years, and Merri Interiors has since become a highly successful and in-demand kitchen-only design firm that’s gained a reputation for quality in the eastern Long Island area, with 20 kitchen projects in process at any given time and a waiting line proverbially out the door.
With 15 years of experience in the design industry, Weiss has built her business on the word-of-mouth referrals of happy customers. She functions as a guide for her clients, using her knowledge to coordinate complicated projects and reduce the inherent stress of the remodeling process. And more than just prospective clients are taking notice of her empathetic approach to her work – she has garnered recognition from eight publications and been a recipient of several prestigious honors, including the CoTY Awards. Additionally, her work has been recognized with Houzz’s 25k and Best of Houzz awards.
