Kanika is an extremely talented designer, and I can't recommend her enough!…read more We bought a house in March 2020 - signed the contract days before covid stay at home orders. My husband and I then spent two years working from home together in our front room (we call it the study now) without any rhyme or reason, just putting our desks wherever they fit, because it all happened so quickly. It was awkward and ugly, cords and monitors everywhere, and not a great look for people walking in our front door. The whole time, I was thinking, "when this is done and at least one of us goes back to the office, I want to make this room into a nice space to read and relax, and also to WFH when I have to." That's where Kanika comes in. I tried changing the place up on my own, but every choice I made seemed to make my space uglier and more awkward. It was time to hire a professional. That decision was worth every penny. In the end, my project turned out to be slightly bigger than just one room. I enlisted Kanika's help in choosing flooring, baseboards and paint for the whole house, furniture for my entire downstairs (we were still using the old living room furniture left by the previous owners), and light fixtures throughout. She was easy to work with and understood immediately what I was going for. My study is a real showstopper now - the walls are this deep blue color that looks amazing, she designed a gorgeous custom bookshelf that makes perfect use of the space, and she picked a couch that is the perfect size, just the right color, and so comfortable. And we still managed to get a desk in there for those WFH days. Literally just the other day, I was on a Zoom with someone and thought "this room behind me is so pretty, it looks like a fake background." But it's real, and in my house! And it wouldn't have happened without Kanika. The paint color she helped me pick for my bedroom is something I never would have chosen on my own, but I still regularly think about how nice it looks whenever I go in there. Same with the color of the living room couch, I'd never have found it on my own, but now that I have it, I love it. She knows her stuff. Kanika's husband Adi runs the business side of things. He managed the project, hiring contractors and keeping everything on schedule. The work was done on time, and he kept us in the loop, patiently answering any concerns or questions. And, no shenanigans with the final cost. Really, hiring Kanika Design was a great decision for us.

Maureen is absolutely exceptional -- we could not have found a better designer for our renovation…read more We worked with her on two bathrooms (guest and primary) as well as our primary bedroom, with all construction happening while we were away traveling, and the experience could not have been smoother. We loved partnering with Maureen on the design. She made the entire process feel seamless and stress-free, helping us bring our vision to life while elevating it in ways we couldn't have done on our own. For every decision, whether it was shower tiles or cabinetry wood, she presented us with a thoughtfully curated set of options, saving us from hours of researching online and in-store. She also provided invaluable guidance on where to invest and where to be more cost-efficient, all without ever compromising on quality. I also cannot emphasize enough how incredible Maureen's eye for design is along with her ability to tailor her recommendations and the design to your personal style and goals. During the renovation, we were traveling internationally and so Maureen managed the overall project, sharing regular updates and photos. We're incredibly grateful we trusted Maureen with our home and are thrilled (though not surprised) that the end result was perfect and exceeded all expectations. We recommend her without hesitation and would absolutely work with her again.

It's not pure coincidence that Maureen has "Bravo" as a part of her name. This woman is a humble…read moregenius in her craft. I was immediately drawn to her work when I reviewed her portfolio. Often times, designers have the same "look" for multiple projects. Not Maureen - I could tell she chose finishes based on her client's preferences. Our late 1970s home was in dire need of new floors, interior doors, and an updated stair banister. Maureen suggested an initial walkthrough to ensure she would be a good fit. From the moment she showed up, I enjoyed being in her presence. The brief suggestions she made were in line with my ideas, and I knew I had to work with her. Maureen was mindful of our budget. She would always ask my opinion prior to sourcing design choices, even after I communicated that I had full trust in her. It was true collaboration. Maureen consistently stayed on top of timelines and would keep me updated in a timely manner. We enjoyed working with Maureen so much that we decided to add on a master bath remodel. I now get to wake up every morning in the beauty of our new home. I'm certain that this vision would not happen if it weren't for Maureen's talent. For me, having someone design your home isn't just about their skill and creativity, it also includes how they made you feel through the process. It doesn't get any better than working with someone who is honest, trustworthy, reliable, and talented.

We recently purchased a home and needed help with design as well as furniture pieces. Honestly, we weren't really sure where to start and the thought of going to different furniture showrooms and putting it all together was quite overwhelming. We loved the fact that this is a family owned business and a "one-stop shop." We had support from Mary and her team through the whole process, from meeting us at the home for a consultation, to meeting at the showroom to select pieces, to white-glove delivery and set up.

Her attention to detail is what you want when remodeling a kitchen. She took very precise measurements of every inch of the kitchen and created a 3D blue print of the whole kitchen. She also advised us on the color scheme of the cabinets and the hardware. We had initially been to places like Sincere Home Decor and Liberty Cabinets in SSF (on advise of our Contractor) and surprisingly they were charging us $20K+ for their crappy standard cabinets. They also remotely designed our kitchen with inaccurate measurements. Tracy designed high quality custom cabinets at the same price. She came to talk to the contractor and go over the design and later again during delivery of the cabinets. She was there to inspect the cabinets, which were packaged very nicely. The cabinets were very precisely numbered which saved the contractor a lot of time. The cabinets are made of a very high quantity wood and also have a great finish. She also had a map of the cabinet location, fillers and panels. Tracy is extremely diligent, professional and efficient! Highly recommend her.

For anyone looking for a contractor for home remodeling or building, I cannot recommend Bertet…read moreBuilders highly enough. After meeting several contractors and getting completely out of reach quotes, for suggestions that weren't all that impressive, I was about to give up. I actually tried to cancel our appointment because we didn't want to waste their time, given the quotes we were receiving. They insisted that we keep the appointment regardless and I'm so glad we did. Dylan Bertet was the one coming to see the project and what a difference from every other contractor that we met before. Dylan is dynamic, creative, filled (and I mean FILLED) with design ideas on the spot, and someone whom we felt just knew exactly what he was talking about, with very practical suggestions for the highest impact given our budget. 10 mins into talking to him we had made our decision as he gave us the confidence and expertise that we were looking for.

We started with one bathroom remodel, and since that went so smoothly, we ended up doing all three bathrooms, replacing all the flooring in our 3,000-square-foot house (switching from a mix of old wood and carpet to all wood), and even making some layout changes throughout the house. A year later, we reached out to them again for a second big project--this time redoing our garage, including power, water, gas, insulation, walls--pretty much everything. In between, they also installed new skylights for us. Since we trust them and know they do high-quality work, we didn't even consider asking anyone else. From the start, Manuel and Dylan have been great to work with. They're always transparent with costs, communicate clearly, and stick to their timelines. The quality of their work is excellent, and if any small issue came up, they were quick to respond and adjust. Manuel has always been super responsive and available for questions, big or small. They even went with us to pick out materials like tile, wood, and bathtubs, which was incredibly helpful since they know the suppliers and what to look for. We've been really happy with every part of the process and highly recommend them. Definitely a 5-star experience.
