Hello. I'm hoping I can get some advice. I've tried googling my way through this but I'm just not getting anywhere.

We are planning to move in about three years. Our house has had very little updating in the twenty years we have been here. Sold in current condition, I could expect to sell it for around 900K but I believe with $50 to $100k in updates, market value would be closer to 1,150,000, so I think it will definitely be worth my time and effort to do the updates.

I have found an excellent contractor (I hope) but I need a person who can tell me what to do in terms of design. I have absolutely no talent in this regard, and I need someone who can advise me on the following: flooring in entire house, kitchen counter replacement, back splash and cabinet refreshing, some updating to bathrooms, garage door replacement, outside deck, painting, lighting, and various other cosmetic issues. There won't be any "structural" remodeling like changing rooms around, new bathrooms, or such.

Basically I want someone who will do an entire game plan for me in terms of updating the house, and perhaps be available for questions that come up, but not do any or contract any of the work themselves or even the purchasing or installing.

Are there people who do this type of work? And what are they called? What is a rough idea about how much this would cost (house is 3500 SF & I'm i Southern California, so usually that means everything costs more ughhhhh.) Is Houzz a good place to find someone like this, or are there any suggestions? Thanks so much for any help.
