I wanted to give a shout out to the best staging/design company in upstate New York, Upstate Roots Design.  If you haven't had the pleasure of meeting and working with these two lovely ladies, you need to because they truly are the best in the business.  I have used them for all of my staging needs and they have never disappointed, I couldn't be happier with their work.  If you ever need to transform a house into a home,  there are no other options. Megan and Kristen are the real deal and I am so glad that I found them!

I love the work you have done to my mother in law's house in Fairport staging it. I have been going to that house for over 30 years. I didn't even recognize it and had to watch the video from Christine Halstead 5 times. The house looks amazing with your outstanding staging and interior design skills. Every client should be using Upstate Roots Design!!

Hurry folk, this one won't be on the market soon.

I worked with Upstate Roots Design to stage apartments I was overseeing as a district manager. We could not have been happier with the outcome of the staging! The design and quality was beautiful. It was so nice to have the opportunity to tour prospects through our staged apartments so they could envision themselves living there! Both Kristin and Megan were awesome to work with. They were patient, reliable and true experts in their industry! Can't wait to work with them again.

“WOW” you guys did an incredible job!  Your staging is definitely valuable and when we both saw the pictures, it was an immediate “WOW” factor for both of us.  Honestly you made it feel like home again.  Your work is absolutely amazing, a night and day difference.  Thank you so much!

Melissa - Homeowner

We used Upstate Roots Design to stage our house for its sale per the recommendation of our realtor.  I honestly would never have considered staging my house but after my realtor showed me pictures of their work, I was immediately impressed and trusted his recommendation. The experience was excellent, easy and thorough from start to finish. Meagan was wonderful to work with - a great communicator and highly professional. The staging came out better than we could have imagined (picture perfect!) and allowed us to make a quick sale at top dollar. I truly believe the staging made a big difference in the end result of the sale. I would highly recommend this company and also highly recommend working with Meagan.

Joe G. - Investor

It was always my dad's dream to own several rental properties. That never worked out for him until I was an adult at an advanced stage in my career, and so we did it together. Bought distressed properties, breathed new life into them, and provided homes for good working families. But as my dad's health declined, I knew I couldn't do it all on my own anymore, so decided to sell. The Upstate Roots design team was an integral part of that process- never had these homes looked so warm and inviting. It made it emotionally easier to part with them as I could visualize a lived-in home with a new family instead of the vacant house you get after a tenant moves out. It helped the buyers believe in the meticulous care we put into those houses to bring them back from declining shells to true homes. I'm sure it probably helped the sale price too, but that was secondary to just making the homes truly look alive.

I’ve been working with Upstate Roots for years and recommend them to all my friends, for their staging and design needs. Their awesome staging and modern design has helped me sell a lot of my homes for well over asking price. They have awesome communication, they’re professional and exceed expectations every time. I look forward to continuing working together!

Marron M. - Homeowner

Our realtor recommended we hire a staging company to sell our fathers home. My brothers were skeptical, but agreed. Upstate Roots came in and brought the home to life with a fresh style and thoughtful details. When I saw the transformation I was brought to tears. Meagan is highly creative, kind, and efficient. In the end our fathers home sold for $130,000 over asking - in no small part from the beautiful interior Upstate Roots created. I highly recommend them to make your house shine!

Lucin M. - District Manager for Conifer

Upstate Roots Design has been amazing to work with! I recently worked with Meagan and Kristin to stage two apartments at 200 East Avenue Apartments and Erie Harbor Apartments to help prospects see a vision of the space and ultimately help with the rental process. Meagan and Kristin listened to what we needed and created a beautiful mood board and without delay they started staging right away. The apartments and town homes look beautiful and without a doubt, helped us rent these spaces faster! Meagan and Kristin have been wonderful to work with during this process. They are incredibly professional, patient and very understanding to the hectic days within property management. I highly recommend them for any staging needs you may have; the investment is worth the money you will save with having your home or apartment on the market longer without it.

I have worked with Upstate Roots Design on multiple real estate projects. Their professional staging definitely makes a huge difference on the sale of our properties. It’s hard for some people to imagine what a space can look like without furniture and decor. When buyers walk through one of our open houses they see rooms that look like they came out of a magazine, and can picture themselves living there. If you are considering a professional staging company, I would highly recommend talking with KristIn and Meagan at Upstate Roots Design!

I highly recommend Upstate Roots Design. They are very professional and made our spec home in Chili look spectacular with their modern furnishings and accessories. We were able to sell this home and a second spec home relatively quickly I believe because the buyers felt the warmth of a beautifully staged home. Will definitely be working with them again in the future and are very thankful for their service available!

Carly D. - Realtor, Hunt Real Estate

You understand how to recreate a space in a way that is aspirational, yet livable, so that a buyer can truly see themselves in the spaces you create. This undoubtedly has driven more traffic and resulted in higher sale prices for my listings. You also aren't afraid to roll up your sleeves and help problem solve, which is invaluable to real estate agents who are often wearing many hats. Lastly, you are just pleasant to work with. I can't wait to see what you guys do next!

Meagan & Kristin are true professionals and a pleasure to work with! I had a very short window to stage my home and they made it happen. 10 days in and out from when I first contacted them to my house being staged. Not only were they flexible and timely, they truly have an eye for design and made my home look beautiful!! I highly recommend Upstate Roots Design for all your staging needs.
