Do Contractors do design consulting with clients?

[Shaniqua Dupree]

Hello everyone, 

My question is pertaining to a statement a friend of mine made while discussing his bath and kitchen remodeling company. He said he hates taking alot of time picking out floor type and tile types and pain colors and what not. He said his job is to do the remodeling and with him having more than one client to focus on, the design consulting takes up time from his regular duties.

So with that being said what do contractors do for the clients design needs? 

Do you help the clients figure out what they "like" or do you expect them to know  what they want before they contact you?

I ask these questions because I really enjoy the design side of remodelling a home. I would like to get in the door but trying to figure out the best way to do so.

Thanks for reading my post.
