"Great! It was so easy to make decisions about carpet, upholstery, and windows because Tess picked out items I loved and that complemented the rest of the first floor. I really appreciated that she set reasonable deadlines and met them. And her design sense is superb."

"As a testament to how happy we were with our first renovation provided by the Curtice Group in 2021, which provided completely new kitchen/dining/mudroom/bath, we hired Scott and his team again in 2024-25 for another major renovation. This job was composed of 3 main parts: a gut remodel of our main bathroom, renovation of a large attic space (about 700 sq ft), and whole-home conversion from steam radiators (gas) to heat pumps including removal of all radiators and a chimney. The bathroom now is attractive and more functional, the attic adds a large amount of useful space as an office/kid room/guest area, and central air makes a more comfortable climate. I’m a big fan of the design/build concept, because you really don’t want to separate those two elements into different contractors, and if you find a talented company, they can handle all aspects of the job fluidly. Scott Curtice has a real knack for design, he is attentive and cares about details, and he will perform carpentry and touch-up work as needed. Moreover, he handled all the project coordination so that we could do the jobs that we do well, which do not include home renovation."

"We had a great experience with H&H Landscaping. They workers were professional and showed up in a timely manner. All the work was done immediately and they cleaned their mess up each day. The flowers are blooming nicely in our front garden and we have had many neighbors stop by and ask who did this amazing work! Justin was very easy to work with, he have a design drawn out before the project started and stayed in the time frame he said the project would be completed. I would absolutely use this company again and have been recommending Justin to other friends and neighbors."

"Alan did the design for our whole-home renovation including finishing an in-home garage as additional living space, adding an additional bedroom, a half-bath, and a new basement-level entrance. He also re-designed the kitchen, opening up walls and adding an island making this space feel much brighter and bigger. The results were amazing and completely transformed the house. Alan was extremely thorough, taking into consideration not only all relevant building codes, but also every detail of the day-to-day use of each space. Importantly for a big project like this one, he was a good communicator and actively sought our input on many details, incorporating this into the ultimate design. We couldn't be more pleased with the result."

"Great, Dave stayed within our budget and our addition looks like it was part of a whole new home construction. We were really impressed with Dave Kinsella's design concepts and the workmanship was high quality even though we were on a tight budget. Dave comes from a big family so he understands money and time constraints plus he wants his projects to look as aesthetically pleasing to his clients as possible. We would definitely hire Dave again."

"We live atop a steep hill in Coolidge Corner. We purchased our home in 2019, and the home originally had a back deck that was in disrepair. We initially thought that a patio was out of our budget but Jerry worked with us in getting a paver patio within budget. Because of that, Stonewall Landscapes was able to do a complete overhaul of our property. This included adding tiers and landscaping to our front hill, designing a side path, and installing a paver patio, retaining wall, lawn/garden, and privacy fencing in our back yard. We are beyond thrilled with their work. Jerry worked with us in figuring out what we wanted our front hill and backyard to look like in terms of landscaping, and Jerry incorporated our ideas when selecting which plants/trees/shrubs to plant. Jerry is incredibly detailed-oriented, and his team is professional and efficient. They were here before 8am every day and worked 6 days a week to finish our project in about 3 weeks. At the end of each day, the team made sure that the work area was neat and clean before they left for the day. They were ahead of schedule and on budget. We have had multiple neighbors stop us to complement their work. We couldnâ t be happier with their work. My wife is meticulous herself and could not find a fault with the work from Jerry and his team. This was one of the most positive experiences we have had with a contractor. We highly recommend Jerry and his outstanding crew."

"We have been thrilled with Leisha, her team, and collaborators. Leisha’s knowledge of horticulture is vast, and she really listens to the client about their goals for the space. I especially appreciated her ability to balance my desire to reuse healthy plants on the property with a new design that is visually appealing, increasing ‘curb appeal’. We discussed goals for use and visual design, concerns about wildlife impact, water runoff, etc. Leisha is very collaborative. She’ll explain why something you had envisioned may or may not work, and also provide alternative ideas that get at the spirit of what you want. This makes her an extremely valuable partner. Her team is prompt, careful, and leaves everything looking beautiful. It’s easy to check in with them if I have a question. People walking down the street love the garden, and when I am outside many folks stop and say how beautiful and lush the garden looks. I have referred several people!"

FAQs for design and decorating projects in Needham Heights, MA

Start by defining your goals and budget. Collect photos of rooms you love, jot down must-have features, and list what isn’t working in your current space. Share these details—and your target budget—during the first meeting. The clearer you are, the quicker a designer can translate your vision into a workable plan and keep costs in check.

Yes, working with an interior designer can help you save money. Designers prevent costly missteps, secure trade discounts on furniture and finishes, and coordinate the project so you don’t pay twice for the same work. Their upfront fee often pays for itself in avoided change orders, tighter timelines, and materials purchased at below-retail pricing.

A full interior design project wraps up in two to three months, on average, while a decorating job takes four to eight weeks. Timelines stretch if you add structural changes, custom millwork, or specialty materials, and unexpected shipping or permit delays can tack on extra days. Talk with your designer about project milestones and build in a little wiggle room.

Interview at least three pros whose portfolios match your style. Review their credentials and ask for references. During a face-to-face or virtual meeting, discuss your goals, budget, and timeline, and make sure their communication style and fee structure feel comfortable. The right designer combines technical know-how with a creative approach that clicks with you.
