Hudson & Crane has received dozens of reviews on three verified sites with an average rating of 4.75 stars, earning them a spectacular Rating Score™ of 93.46 and a 2019 Top Rated Local award for being ranked the number one interior design firm in all of Washington DC!

Here’s just one of their many five-star reviews:

“As soon as you walk into Hudson & Crane, you want everything!! The team there selects very modern, unique items, and what’s even better is how affordable they are! I would highly recommend their design services. For a fee that can go towards the cost of your furniture, they will come to your home and put together a proposed design based on your style, home layout and budget. And they will even put small decor all over your house that they recommend, and you can pay for what you like and send back what you don’t. I felt like I was on an HGTV show; it was awesome!” – Rebecca L.

Not Your Average Interior Design Firm

We wanted to know what makes Washington DC’s number one interior design firm so special, so we took a few minutes to talk with the owner, Jaye Langmaid.

The first question we had for Jaye was what makes Hudson & Crane unique compared to their competition in Washington DC. Here’s what he had to say:

“Some designers are really product-driven, but our process is much more client-focused. We do a lot of research and design specifically for our clients. Our work is really tailored to our clients. We try to really take a lifestyle and client approach to each one of our projects.”

Jaye went on to say:

“We opened in December 2014. Design isn’t just for the upper echelon of people. What we are trying to do here is to help people realize that working with a designer should be as ubiquitous as working with an accountant to do your taxes. You spend the majority of your life in your home. Why do you put that on yourself to design it? Let a professional do it for you.”

We also asked Jaye about Hudson & Crane’s mission and how they work to make the world a better place. Jaye told us that they are frequently contacted about making donations to silent auctions and charity organizations.

Building Success Through Customer Service

When we asked Jaye what their secret is to such a strong online reputation at Hudson & Crane, he attributed it to their commitment to customer service and said:

“We are a small team here, and all of our staff touches all projects. That is how we differentiate ourselves. We understand that you cannot get good design services for free. The personal touch is how we differentiate.”

Apart from building the kind of online reputation any business would envy, Hudson & Crane has spread the word about their service through grassroots marketing and word of mouth, which comes from their strong focus on their clients. They will even throw a house-warming party for their clients, giving them a chance to meet new prospective clients.

Every business owner wants to grow their business and build their online reputation the way Hudson & Crane has. Here’s Jaye’s advice for them:

“Be the Nordstrom of customer service.”


Congratulations to the team at Hudson & Crane for being a 2019 Top Rated Local award winner, and thank you so much, Jaye, for taking the time to speak with us!
