"Tess is delightful to work with, she brings a fresh perspective to the spaces she’s designing, and she offers stunning designs to ensure your space is not only beautiful but also functional. I initially hired Tess to help me redesign only one room, my dining room, since I had never worked with a designer before and wasn’t sure what to expect. Once we nailed down my style, Tess put together an absolutely gorgeous design, helping me choose furniture that was expressed who I am in a way I didn’t know furniture could. After my dining room, I hired Tess to redesign three additional rooms. The process for the additional rooms went very smoothly because Tess really understood what I was looking for and was able to present me with ideas I loved immediately. Tess genuinely listens to what you want and need, she’s there to support you throughout the whole process, and she’s just really fun to work with. I highly recommend hiring Tess for your redesign needs!"

"I can't recommend the Curtice Group enough! We did a kitchen renovation, including design and construction, with them in 2024 and the process was quick, the team was extremely communicative, and the end product is gorgeous! In October 2023, we started the design process with them to see what would be possible with our kitchen area that was out-of-date and not functional for our family.Eric Curtice came by a few times to do thorough measurements of our space in order to render some designs for us to look through. Scott, the owner, gave us a breakdown of costs; he was very practical about what he thought was important and what was not, balancing need with price. It was so refreshing to get such a granular view of exact costs before diving into a renovation project. After design, we decided to go forth with construction, which kicked off in early January 2024. Scott's team set us up a temporary kitchen (including a dishwasher) which made living under construction so easy. The project manager, Shawn, was there every single weekday, and Scott came at the start of most weeks to check on progress. The Curtice Group team were incredibly communicative the entire time, giving us updates via email about timeline and costs. We were done with our project by mid-March (just 2.5 months!) and we're thrilled with the end result. Even better, we came in a little under budget. You should absolutely hire this group. We'll definitely be calling them for future projects!"

"Helene Parenteau is to us, in a word, a miracle. We have known Helene for over 5 years. During this time she has completed numerous projects for us. Like most people, we had too much stuff, some of which we had not looked at for a very long time. We found Helene through a personal contact. Since then we have come to know and love her because she is not only a superb organizer, but an extremely thoughtful, kind, gentle and intelligent person. She has done everything for us from sorting and categorizing financial papers for taxes, designing and constructing shelving units for storage, advising us on the most practical use of space, and helping us to sort through and get rid of unneeded boxes which in the past we had moved from place to place unopened. She has helped us with projects large and small, from reorganizing a linen and bath supplies closet to fully taking charge of every aspect of our move, including measuring, planning, working with and supervising movers, and ultimately creating our new home with virtually everything in the right places. One of the reasons she is able to do this so well is that she knows us, our quirks, preferences, and habits. She seems to know before we do what is going to work and what isn't. We have only rarely decided against her recommendations. Another reason is that she cares deeply about us and knows what we need to keep going and finish a hard job. She knows how to provide just the right kind of encouragement - indeed she has inispired us to do what we thought was impossible. She is the hardest working person I have ever witnessed and has stamina and strength beyond any reasonable expectations. Helene is ingenious in figuring out how to make a space not just functional but convenient to use. I would way that there is NO organization problem, move or downsizing project she cannot handle. She approaches all issues thoughtfully, logically, sensitively, and with great efficiency. What's more, Helene listens. Her ability to understand all the many complications and difficulties people experience with handling, moving, and even getting rid of their stuff is phenomenal, especially if the job involves multiple family members. If you are fortunate enough to meet Helene and avail yourself of her professionalism, devotion to her clients, ultimate integrity, personal warmth, wisdom and sense of humor, you will understand how this professional organizer can not only transform your spaces but transform and enrich your life. We count it a deep blessing to have Helene in our lives and cannot imagine how we could ever have come as far as we have in making our home and work areas a joy to live and work in. Helene is unmatchable in her talents and worth her weight in platinum. We cannot recommend her more highly.

"Marilyn and company were excellent, very professional wouldn’t hesitate to use them again. She kept me updated on everything going on and with the sale of your home, it’s a lot."

"Jerry worked with me to design and install front and backyard gardens with a beautiful stone patio and stone paths. His work is excellent and he knows his materials. He checked in with me along the way about decisions that needed to be made, even though that part was a bit stressful. I also appreciated his team because they were friendly and worked well together (and strong to deal with super rocky soil). We love walking the gardens several times a day and neighbors often stop to admire the beauty of the flowers and trees. We highly recommend Stonewall Pro."

"I contacted four landscapers through Angie's List. Two never responded; one got back to me but couldn't do the work for weeks. John's responded quickly, popped by to survey the job (without me even knowing!) and was able to schedule it within the week. Two men came by and worked for three or four hours on the bed. It was too tough for a tiller, so in the end they used an industrial aerator to loosen the dirt/roots, then raked it out. They did a great job, were very careful of the surrounding garden decorations, and thoroughly cleaned up after themselves. The job came in right on estimate, despite it being harder than they thought."

"Brian and David did an amazing job with our kitchen, just above and beyond what one could expect. Brian took apart an entire partial wall frame, built a new one, moved existing electrical outlets and installed the drywall. He is personable and informative. Would hire again in no time."

"Block Renovation provides extraordinarily good, thoughtful, and transparent design/project management services and they work with excellent contractors . The process of working with them was super efficient and easy. The team was knowledgeable and available. The quality of the work was outstanding, and the project was delivered on budget and on time. We couldnâ t be happier and recommend them most highly."

"We are very happy with Guzman Architects. When we thought about building our new home we weren’t sure what avenues to follow. They put us on a perfect path. They handled all aspects of design, which we were completely satisfied with, and also oversaw the entire building process. Also we felt the price we paid was more than fair for the work they completed. Highly recommended."
