"We wanted a design and build firm to make design/cost tradeoffs. It went great as the project was done well, under budget, and quicker than expected. They act as a general contractor and you can be as little or as much as involved as you want. For things we had strong opinions on we met with the subs also. We've been in the space 6+ months and haven't had any problems. Our basement has been dry (they installed a perimeter drain)."

"The best. They show up early and work harder than anyone. Honestly, I didn't think the tree removals were possible. It was ruining both the foundation and fence. Everything was precisely the way I wanted it, at a price which was considerably less than I expected. No unwanted destruction, lots of care. They removed the fabric, but left the budding hyacinths somehow. People I don't know are walking by and yelling out compliments."

"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.

"My husband and I had the pleasure of working with CJ and we cannot recommend him enough! I had struggled with our living room for years and was never truly happy. Not only did CJ help us design and create a beautiful living room, he taught me how to be at peace with my decision-making. He is the whole package: creative, professional, patient and understanding. My husband and I have very different decorating styles and CJ was able to make us both very happy! He is a principled, kind person with tremendous integrity. Iâ m sure our Project was not one of his biggest, yet his passion and dedication made us feel like truly valued clients. Working with CJ was an absolute joy, and I feel that joy over and over every time I look at my living room!"

"Outdoor X created a landscape centered on the stone wall they designed and constructed which has become the focus of the property. The work is beautifully done with stone work and plantings and frames the area integrating the previous elements of the landscape. I highly recommend Outdoor X."

"Our house was a 1955 ranch-style house with 3 bedrooms, one bath, kitchen, and living/dining room that we moved into in 1995. We had been looking to add a second bathroom and had originally worked with an architect from NH to do a modest front and rear bump out to give us more room to fit in a second bathroom. This architect had to withdraw from the job and recommended David Kinsella of TBC. David initially made some modest changes to the plan that made sense. After somefurther discussion, in which my wife and I raised the possibility of a larger scale project to modernize the style of the house, David developed a plan that essentially rebuilt the house except for our previously remodeled kitchen and original foundation. This new plan converted our house into modern design with a more open floor plan, completely new roof line, loft space, re-finished basement (and the second bathroom). David was able to fit this into an only slightly expanded footprint in order to comply with town regulations. Throughout the process, David kept our budget in mind and would typically present different price options for us to choose from to allow us to come up with a reasonable comprise between price with style. In addition TBC worked with the town to make sure our design stayed within our zoning and conservation restrictions.
After deciding to go ahead with the project, we interviewed several contractors and decided that TBC brought us the best value for our money and would also allow David to oversee the project as needed. We started the project in June 2011 and completed the project in May 2012. The project did take several months longer than expected, but did stay on budget. The major problem that occurred that delayed the project was that in the summer of 2011, the original subcontracted framers were being sent to other jobs by their boss even though TBC was told they would be coming to our job. Hence, instead of working full time on our job, they were working less than half time. Eventually TBC had to fire them and find a new contractor to step in. At the time we felt that TBC should have replaced them sooner, but perhaps this was difficult due to contractual obligations. (We also found this first group of framers were slobs who did not have much regard for the fact that we were still living in the house.) By the end of summer 2011, the house was not completely framed and roofed and number of rain storms (including hurricane Irene) slowed down progress further. In mid-October we were still living in the part of the house and we agreed at this point that we would move out to allow for a more efficient work flow. From this point construction generally proceeded ahead, except for a few delays do to weather and scheduling conflicts that arose for other subcontractors, no doubt due to the significant delay caused by the no-show framers.
In the end the house is beautiful and works for us better than we could have imagined. While the house has not expanded much in
terms of square feet, the open floor plan and high ceiling/roof line combined with increased natural lighting gives a much more expansive feeling inside. From the curb, the house has modern angular green metal roof with cedar siding and one has to look hard to find any resemblance to the original house.
At the completion of of the project, TBC was very responsive to completing punch-list items and other minor issues that have arisen over the past year. While my wife and I certainly had stressful times during the renovation (and certainly did a lot of second guessing our decision to renovate rather than move), we always felt that David had a personal interest in getting the job done correctly and making sure that we were happy in the end. In that regard, David was very accessible by email or phone before, during, and after the work. In summary, David Kinsella provided the creativity to design a renovation plan that was truly transforming for our house and TBC was then able to see the plan through to successful completion."

"Glen is a just an excellent carpenter. He is a creative, efficient, and artistic problem solver. I hired him to install some cabinetry that came without instructions and had been partially installed by someone else. He did a fantastic job - he is a real expert. I will hire him again for my next project."

"Our yard is small (0.1 acre), but we had neglected it for years, leaving us with nothing but runaway weeds, a falling-down fence, and a deck in rough shape. We hired Compass to redesign the whole yard. Kristin did an outstanding job with the design. Once we saw her sketches, we were sold. They tore out the deck, installed a big new patio, replaced the fence, installed irrigation, put in new plant beds and a new lawn from sod. In addition, they made some repairs to a stone retaining wall in front of our property. The transformation was completely amazing. Ivan and his crew were thorough and skilled with the installation, especially the patio area. At one point, the patio was fully laid. but Ivan noticed that an area wasn't quite level. He had the crew pull up about a third of the area and redo it. His attention to detail made all the difference. We have recommended Compass to several friends already, and would definitely hire them again."

FAQs for design and decorating projects in Waverley, 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.
