"They did a really good job and they stand behind their work. The prices are competitive and they take pride in their work. I had a really old front door that was not insulated and they put in a new one with plenty of insulation. They also put in a new storm door and a garage side door that meant making a new doorway that's sealed properly. They answered all my questions and were respectful of the property"

"Ecolecuá offers a unique collaborative approach with her clients. On our project, she struck the perfect balance; she listened to our ideas and feedback but very much maintained her role as the creative expert, making us feel comfortable the entire time. I would absolutely recommend Ecolecuá with no hesitation. With all she has done, she is going to find the right approach for just about any client. Aileen Dominguez Dentist, Boston, Massachusetts"

"I feel extremely fortunate to have found Vicki through Angie's List !  She is an extremely talented person who is very easy to deal with. She has a breath of knowledge that allows her to accommodate my tastes, but also ensure that the overall design is in sync with the design and location of my home.  She has  a very diplomatic way of suggesting when I'm going astray with my choices and in every case where she has told me "Trust Me"  I have been delighted ! She is very aggressive in helping me find the best pricing and often times will work with the vendors directly  hence saving me the time.  She also has excellent local contacts.  Everyone I've worked with through Vicki has been timely, professional, and highly competent.
My project is far from complete.  I intend to continue to use Vicki and her expert advice until the end !!!!"

"Great! I would hire again."

"Northstarr is very tough to rate for our project - certain aspects of the work are impeccable and the final result is as close to what we wanted as I think was possible under the circumstances; however, the issues encountered were/are large enough for us to not want to do business with them again. The good - the final result is very close to our design, they were quick to respond to a quote request after several other companies failed/ghosted us and the first 6-8 weeks of the project went without major complications. It felt like the Supervisor E was our only advocate and did his best to make us happy while towing the company line and sticking to the "contract". The cabinets seem to be solid quality and our countertops are beautiful - although the stone people missed the appointment at the house 3 different times and overall delayed the project ~3 weeks for delivery and installation. The bad - there was constant misunderstanding between what was our/their responsibility. Whether that was hardware, staining the wood, supplying shelving, etc. Some of that is our fault as we didn't know what we didn't know - but they didn't help us understand at all what was expected of us or all the items we were expected to provide at any one point. The communication was horrid and there was such a revolving group of people that I often would tell someone something, and a different person would finish the task different than what I had told the first person? Deciding when a "progress" payment was due felt scammy as there were multiple weeks where two or three days progress meant someone was requesting a check on Friday. Essentially the entire project would have been paid for 3-4 weeks before completion if I hadn't held back where possible. At 17 calendar weeks start to finish, even accounting for the holidays, we felt there was a lack of effort to complete the job after the majority of payments had been made. (I'll say a week of that delay was our fault to get the final items delivered for installation.) Biggest problem adding to the frustration of the job is that two weeks after the last payment was made, I was served with notice that a lien was filed against our property for the cabinets that apparently haven't been paid for - and so now we are dealing with the legal necessities of following up with Northstarr and determining next steps to protect ourselves as payment was made in full. Random observations - one of the workers was told not to stain our wood trim, shelves and table legs because it wasn't written into the contract; however after being told this, he took the stain that I purchased home with him thinking it was the company's and never returned it. Then a different worker came two weeks later and used replacement stain that I had bought to finish staining new pieces of wood that we bought?? Our personal step ladder is missing (accident?) and 3 different laborers offered services to us off the record for miscellaneous things at the house. Despite saying they would help get things as usable as possible (we were expecting newborn twins at week 14 of the project), we went all 17 weeks without a kitchen sink, range or running water."

"Elysium was quick and fair with their estimate. The painters were punctual, friendly, clean, and quiet. Listening to and working with their interior designer was both fun and enlightening. The work quality is fantastic. House looks great!
