“As General Contractors we rely heavily on our architects to not only design great projects but to work hand and hand with our clients bringing their dreams to life. After years of working with various architects and design firms we found Olaf and have never looked back. Olaf is incredibly knowledgeable and patient and an absolute pleasure to work with.“

“Rob and Team were wonderful and did a great job with our 1room interior renovation and exterior step rebuild in Andover MA. Highly recommend! 10 stars!“

“A friend referred us to Color Theory and we are so thankful they did. Brad is amazing to work with. He and Kendra were super responsive, creative and helped us form a vision for our vacation home bedroom on the coast of Maine that is nothing short of spectacular. They made the process so easy. Brad turned around our project in just a few weeks, respecting that we were looking for in stock items to allow us to use our new bedroom retreat for the entire upcoming summer. They worked within our budget, and after a site visit and zoom call produced a proposal that was spot on. Oh - and they also developed a full-house paint color palette that we will implement in the coming months. If you are considering using Color Theory, I would suggest jumping at the chance!“

“Jon and his entire team were exceptional to work with during the recent install of counters for a kitchen, pantry, laundry area and bathroom.

The experience from start to finish was flawless and easy. Jon advised on stone selection. And with Mark, they both ensured the templating was well thought out, the movement of stone was perfectly placed, and that install went smoothly.

I couldn’t be happier with with the team and their work.“

“Couldn't be happier with my experience with Matt. I was hoping to have a ceiling light replaced in a pinch, and he was out to my house the same day. Unfortunately I purchased the wrong light because I do not have a switch in the room, and he was able to install a switch on the light, so that I could use the light I wanted without delay. He finished quickly, and at a very reasonable price. Highly recommend Matt for any electrical needs!“

“I can’t believe it’s taken me this long to write my well-deserved five-star review for Tess Leeds Redesign, but better late than never! Actually, now that I’m thinking about it, one of the main reasons we asked Tess to redesign our master bedroom was because we wanted a space of comfort and tranquility amidst the chaos and unkempt-ness of the rest of our house which comes with the territory of having a toddler and another baby on the way. Since our redesign in April of 2024, I’ve since had said baby (which is the main reason for my delay in writing this), and we are SO glad we have our beautiful room to retreat to at the end of the day.

Not only is our room more beautiful, but it is also more functional, with added shelving and seating space that really opened up our modestly-sized master bedroom. It was a really a watershed moment in our continual effort to clean out our house, as with all the extra shelving and wall space, we were able to get framed pictures, books, and other sentimental decor out of our basement and attic and finally on display.

We were also able to accomplish all this within a reasonable budget and timeframe. Tess’s pricing tier is based on the size of the room, and I thought her prices were absolutely commensurate with the service she delivered. Before meeting with her, we had to fill out a questionnaire with some basic information about what we were looking for, and include Pinterest boards, pictures and other inspiration to give her an idea of our vision. Then, she came one morning from 9-12ish to workshop, or “redesign”, the room with us. I really enjoyed this process, as it was collaborative. She came with the ideas, but definitely wanted our input so that she could make thoughtful suggestions. For example, we knew we were under-utilizing wall space in one corner of the room and were originally considering hanging shelves. She explained why she thought shelving wouldn’t work in this corner, and instead suggested a tall standing rattan bookshelf for not only looks, but also space maximization. We agreed, and she helped us shop for a bookshelf right there on her computer (she also used a special software to cut and paste images of items we were considering and place it in a model of our room, so we could have an idea of what it would look like). She took measurements of the space, so were could be really precise with what we were looking for and help narrow down the search. I really appreciate her doing all the legwork here, because half the battle in decorating a space is shopping for items, which can take months or even years if you do not have an expert guiding you. We ended up with a beautiful rattan bookshelf from Serena and Lily, which I would say is the defining piece of the room were it not for the deep greenish/blue grass cloth wallpaper she chose for the wall behind our bed!

I could go on with all the beautiful items and quality furniture, wallpaper, and paint she chose, but I would be remiss if I didn’t also highlight how NOT PUSHY she was with out purchasing any of it. (Keep in mind anything you purchase is out of your own pocket, and not included in Tess’s fee. Tess’s fee is what you pay for her artistic vision and legwork in getting your room designed. You decide how much you want to shell out actually executing said vision). She kept reminding us that these were suggestions and as clients, we were free to disagree for whatever reason. I also liked that she did not only suggest expensive items, but was pennywise and knew when something was actually worth the price. For instance, we added a good-looking small bench in the room that she recommended for $50 from Target (it might have been even less than that actually).

I’m reaching the end of my word limit here, or else I would go on. In short, if you are on the fence about hiring Tess, just do it! We will certainly be calling her again when we are ready to redesign another room. I’ve included some before and after photos, as well as an example of the moo“

The communication has been great and the projects are always top notch. He manages the customer's expectations really well and keeps projects on track so I can't recommend him enough!“

“I would rate each member of the team very highly, from the sales person showing different stone, to the meticulous templater, to the skilled professional installers to the followup. They got me a gorgeous stone and did a great job working with the customer.“
