I had a family heirloom that was essentially a museum piece mailed up to him from Florida. He was honest in his pricing and assessment and made sure that he explained everything he planned to do in depth so that I understood the process. He also was honest about timing which I greatly appreciated. Perhaps one of the best things besides the fact that the piece now looks immaculate is that he helped me with shipping and delivery of the secretaire to my house. I was pulling my hair out stressing about how I would get that part done, but lo and behold Matt has the perfect guys for the job. Every step of this process was easy and stress free. I wouldn't look anywhere else.

Who knew that furniture disassembly and reassembly was a thing? I certainly didn't until I treated…read moremyself to an extra cozy Boston Interiors sectional and the sofa portion wouldn't fit up my front or back staircase. Whoops! I had already been waiting two months for delivery, so to say I was disappointed is an understatement. Then the panic kicked in. Since it was a custom sectional, I would get majorly dinged if I returned it. But what other options were there? That's where Melo and Sons came in. The delivery guy put me on the phone with his manager to talk it over. Yes, returning the sectional was an option, as was taking out my dining room window to bring the sofa portion in that way (hell no!) Or... I could have some pros disassemble it at their warehouse then reassemble it in my living room. Of my three options, the third was the winner by a longshot. As I was the first delivery of the day, I patiently waited until Melo and Sons opened then gave them a ring. Joanne immediately answered and put my nerves at ease. It was obvious I wasn't the first numpty to purchase a too big piece of furniture that needed saving by them. After providing her all the requested information, I had a delivery date for about three weeks out. By the time my Boston Interiors salesperson called to discuss the failed delivery, everything was already tucked and tied with Melo and Sons. When the big day finally arrived, Mike and George showed up right on time and quickly got to work. They laid down moving blankets to protect the floor then brought up the disassembled sofa in several carefully wrapped pieces. Aside from being the consummate professionals, they were funny to boot. It took them less than two hours to reassemble the sofa and at long last reunite it with its other half. That evening, after three long months, I finally got to relax on and enjoy my sectional in its full glory. All thanks to Melo and Sons and their niche specialty.

Not only is it back in one piece, the tambour is fully functional and looks amazing. I couldn't have found a better business to work with, and Fred has been so helpful every step of the way. I look forward to working with him again in the future.

Both Fred and Meg are extremely talented and their attention to detail is remarkable. The entire process with them was seamless and conducted with ease.

Other items were repaired onsite in our home and they were especially respectful of our time and environment. The quality of their craftsmanship is unparallel. I would highly recommend entrusting them with your most treasured items because they will take the time to ensure the piece is restored back to its original glory and sometimes, even better than before.

One Star: EXPENSIVE AND INFLEXIBLE…read more I hired Mr. Handyman (Mr. Handyman of Central - Eastern Norfolk County & S.Shore) to install an awning cover on an existing frame at my home for the summer months. Two workers came to do the installation. Although they both worked hard at the task, neither had done such a job before, restarting the job twice and calling a local awning company for advice. Due to their inexperience and a rising wind, the workers had to leave with the work undone. The second day one of the workers returned and finished the task. A total of about 7 man hours of labor were expended to do the work that in prior years was accomplished in 3 to 4 man hours. The owner of the franchise was unwilling to negotiate the cost of the work. I paid for on-the-job training as well as for the actual installation. The cost to install the awning was roughly FIVE times the cost as for previous years. I'll will never I hire this company again.

The end products are striking and modern, but the pieces still retain the quirks that made them an impressive find to begin with. The prices for painted, contemporary furniture are reasonable, but don't expect the pieces to be cheap. The labor put into them is intense. That said any of her pieces would brighten a home and with their finish are safe for use. Putting a drink on a table, for example, would not leave a mark. I highly recommend the shop for anyone looking for that extraordinary piece to complement their home. The work is even divided into two sections: home and studio depending on price and the piece.
