Get matched with top designers/decorators in Jamaica Plain, MA

"I was overwhelmed trying to decide on all new furniture, rugs, drapes and paint colors for 3 rooms, so hired Tess to help. She is great, absolutely worth every penny! By having me complete her initial intake forms she was able to come to our first meeting fully prepared with suggestions, so we could quickly narrow down to 2 or 3 options for each item for me to go check out and shop for. Once I had my samples and selections she came back to approve and finalize fabrics and paints. If you're going to spend a lot of money overhauling your design, you want to make sure it's going to all work so it is a very good investment to hire Tess! Can't recommend her highly enough."

"I hired Richard for the design and specification work. Richard is an open, honest, conscientious and reliable person. His knowledge of the building industry and general contracting is amazing. He has a lot of experience to build upon. Highly recommended!!"

"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 cannot say enough great things about Bernie, Gus, Mark and the entire Macauley crew! Bernie remained in constant contact before, during and after, and took the time to answer all of our questions and walk us through every step of the project. From initial design to tweaks along the way, to meeting me at the nursery to design landscaping for a whole new yard, Bernie always made us feel like we were his #1 priority. You can tell he’s a great businessman who genuinely appreciates his team and his clients. Gus and his crew were equally impressive to work with. The quality of craftsmanship is impeccable and Gus truly went above and beyond to make our project a work of art! Everything came out better than we could’ve ever imagined. Our new patio looks like something out of a magazine and we are so so happy with it! Bernie, Gus and the entire team were wonderful to work with and really are masters of their craft! Highly recommend!"

"Masoud is extremely friendly and easy to work with. He was very respectful and worked with us through different design choices. He offered ideas and suggestions and was knowledgeable about all different design practices. I would definitely recommend ."

"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."

"Gardens by the Yard is a a phenomenal landscaping team from its owner and head landscape designer to the entire group of workers. I asked for a low maintenance, perennial garden at the best possible price. Leisha listened carefully to my needs and thought carefully about what would work in a heavily shaded space and what colors would look best with mu house and the overall environment. Consulting me as they went along, her team planted everything perfectly. I have never encountered a more courteous, helpful group. Leisha has designed a gorgeous garden that is giving me immense pleasure and will do so for many years to come--and at a price that I could afford. In short, my experience with Gardens by the Yard was simply terrific!"

"He and his crew did such an awesome job for extremely reasonable prices, we have hired him on an ongoing maintenence landscaping process. Highly recommend him for any yard, or landscaping job. Honest, reliable and professional"

"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 took on the task on repairing 3 broken glass panes in 101 year old wooden windows. He did an amazing job, plus he created add'l stops for future windows. These windows are "on borrowed time" and Brian is a true CRAFTSMAN giving them an extended life. Thank you Brian and his assistant David."
