"I hired Metropolitan Paint to build bookcases with library lighting, a hidden pantry closet, install new bathroom fixtures & paint. Their work was outstanding. Kenny checked in on the project daily, everyone showed when they said they were going to show up, they stayed on schedule and - most importantly - my Superintendent made a point of telling me how impressed he was with everyone's professionalism and will be recommending them for future projects in the building. No easy feat for a persnickety UES building that can try the patience of the kindest souls. I would absolutely recommend Metropolitan Paint to anyone for any job."

"I can't recommend Allison from Home Harmony enough. I needed my home organized and streamlined, particularly the closets, she listened to my vision and executed it beautifully. From the start Allison was professional and considerate, the trust was there immediately. At our initial meeting she gave me advice on what she believed would really clean up the space and the items she thought would have me organized now and make it simple to keep up between our "maintenence" visits. Day of she arrived on time and prepared with a sink organizer and some nice bins for the closet. I really appreciate that that is something Home Harmony takes care of and I don't have to be hunting around for containers or storage solutions since I clearly had no idea what I needed. The value for the work she does is astounding, I have zero regrets about hiring her and am thrilled to say I already have for recurring maintenece visits! Thank you Allison, you have done more than you know!"

"Moving and wanted a fresh start.  I called and got an immediate response.  I got an immediate estimate and they were able to start the work on the day I needed them.  Originally they were going to take a few days to repair and paint 3 rooms and foyer and hall.  Much to my surprise they showed up with 6 guys and were able to do the job in one day.  I have found no problems with the work and everyone was very professional and courteous.  I would definitely use them again and will recommend to friends.

"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"

"Ronda came to us through our general contractor. She assisted us in selecting our cabinets, counter tops, hardware and tile. She met with us multiple times at our house to work through the cabinet design. And we met with her multiple times at her studio and the tile shop to select our counter top and tile. Always ready to help, she is knowledgeable and has innate design ability. More than that, she can explain her design choices, yet is willing to discuss alternatives and work through the design process in a collaborative manner, bringing many ideas to the table – or kitchen, as it were. She listens to her clients and was able to translate our ideas into a comprehensive design. Throughout the process Ronda worked with our contractor and with us to make certain everything came together as planned. While there were a number of minor snafus, she was always there to make certain issues were resolved and to keep the job moving ahead. Cabinets and counter tops are a significant portion of the remolding cost. Cabinet manufactures are not all that interested in dealing directly with the customer. Rather, they work through their distributors. We purchased our cabinets through Ronda who has a strong working relationship with the manufactures she deals with and can easily work out issues. Thank you Ronda for a wonderful new kitchen!"

"I was not satisfied with the plan that BHR Interior Design gave. I don't feel that they listened to our budget and what the goals of our project were. They provided us with two options to move forward and only one of them seem to speak to what we needed. I gave them some of the same feedback that going with them gave some constraints that we were going to live with such as we were only allowed to use their cabinet company. Their cabinet company was remarkably more expensive. Why would somebody spend almost $50,000 on cabinet for a company who's never really heard of. Again, couldn't find anything bad about it but couldn't find anything good about it. It was just not attractive for my husband and I, we wanted to make sound decisions. The design was beautiful but it was just wasn't what we were looking for. It took a long time to come up with the two option. I will probably not use them again."

"The design was totally useless to me. I was extremely disappointed.

"Excellent service, they sent me samples of different colors to compare to my cherry colored dining room table. The table pad quality was excellent."

"Overall five stars. 3 Stars for incompetent job supervisor. Owner Dan Bolger was great, a tad pushy. Runs a well oiled machine utilizing an excellent skill set. However, outright refused to install Schluter Ditra beneath Tile floors, Now I've got squeaks, no cracking yet. Entire crew (except supervisor) were exceptional. Challenging 1950's home with Challenging 1950's Homeowners. We waited a long time to review. Never review anything new as only time will tell ;-) Island Homecraft was a great hire for us."
