They did a great job with staging our house for sale in Cap Hill. We did a full house stage (and it was large — 3800 sqft). Very professional, thoughtful style that matched the look of our property. Extremely positive feedback from everyone that toured the house. Would use them again!

I've worked with Spade and Archer on several of my listings now, and they are consistently fantastic.

Top-notch company doing excellent work on staging homes for sale. My realtor strongly urged me to use this organization and said she thought it was the best. Not having a lot of experience with staging I trusted her and I think she’s right. Hard to imagine anybody else doing it much better.

Spade and Archer were great to work with and the staging was beautiful. They were both understanding and accommodating when unforeseen circumstances required us to adjust our install date. During the entire process, they were communicative, prompt and efficient. I appreciated their professionalism and highly recommend them.

Working with Spade and Archer Home Staging was an absolute pleasure from start to finish. Their team was professional, responsive, and incredibly easy to work with, making the entire process smooth and stress-free. They took the time to understand our needs and vision, ensuring that every detail was thoughtfully executed. The final staging outcome was nothing short of stunning. Their ability to transform spaces with style, elegance, and a keen eye for design truly impressed us. The home felt warm, inviting, and beautifully curated—highlighting its best features and creating an atmosphere that resonated with potential buyers. The difference their expertise made was remarkable, elevating the presentation in a way that we couldn’t have achieved on our own. We highly recommend Spade and Archer to anyone looking for top-tier home staging that enhances a property's appeal and maximizes its value. Their attention to detail, creativity, and commitment to delivering outstanding results make them a standout choice in the industry.

I've worked with Spade and Archer on several of my listings now, and they are consistently fantastic. Of the several stagers I've hired, they are one of VERY few where I can confidently schedule photography the very next day because I know I won't need to "fix" their work. They go the extra mile on things like putting lamps on timers, leaving the floors as clean as when they arrived, and do not use inflatable mattresses that lead to extra work later. Justin is always very accommodating and responsive to my questions, vastly exceeding expectations. It's not a coincidence that every S&A-staged listing I've had has sold quickly with multiple offers.

Spade and Archer has recently staged two homes that I have listed, and it is very clear that their talents and expertise helped to achieve great sale outcomes for each home seller. Justin has an amazing sense of style and a keen eye for design. He understands the importance of scale and their staging appropriately addresses spaces presenting rooms to their greatest potential. At open houses, potential buyers commented on how perfectly appointed the staging presented, and reflected as the best examples of what they see while touring many houses. I would highly recommend Spade and Archer to help set your listing apart from the rest!

Spade and Archer really stepped up to the plate with a "can do" attitude. Justin (the owner) was wonderful to get things set up for a last minute supplemental staging, and Daniel was excellent in his delivery and set up. When I requested a table be switched out they were responsive to bring just the right piece in a timely fashion. I highly recommend them.
