I indicated I wanted to chat briefly before providing a deposit, and Melissa sent me her number. I called and left a couple voicemails over two days and did not receive a response, so I followed up over email indicating I'd be going in a different direction, and then Melissa called. We aligned on details and Melissa told me my date was "locked" and we agreed I'd pay the deposit as soon as she sent a proposal with the details. Four days went by, then Melissa sent me an email saying she could no longer honor the committed date. Very frustrating when working on short time scales during a stressful home sale process.

We were trying to paint thinking our walls were drywall, then we realized they were plaster and that we were in over our heads. BRAUSA came in and fixed everything up beautifully, patching the plaster and making our walls smooth again. The house looks brand new with the trim work and caulking too. They got the job done (about 1000 sq foot) in less than a week which was so helpful. They also updated our electrical outlets and light switches, coincidentally fixing a doorbell that apparently hadn't worked for decades. Seriously AMAZING! I will definitely be using them again for future painting projects.

I hired them to renovate my bathroom after Luis told me they had a licensed plumber and an amazing…read moretile guy. Well, the plumber and tile guy were one and the same and the day they were starting the tile, they opened up a brand new tile cutter out of the box and started reading the instructions. They used a piece of cardboard as a spacer, so as soon as it got wet, the spacing started to get funky. I also laid out a mock-up on my kitchen table of how each row of tile was to line up that they completely disregarded after the first wall was done. I came home for lunch one day and they had installed the bullnose upside down! They also used the wrong blade for the tile cutter because all the cut edges are raggedy. I'm going to have to pay someone to redo most of it one day, which will involve me replacing the expensive Italian tiles. Aside from the horrible tile work, the window casing looks like it was put together with scraps of trim and they painted everything with a roller and didn't full nail holes before doing so. They also damaged the new tub when installing the drain and damaged some tiles installing some fixtures. The drain line to the sink was installed too high, so until we can get a plumber to come in and repair it, we had to bend the metal and tape it all together temporarily just to get the drain to open and close all the way. Finally, we keep finding set screws on the floor and fixtures keep coming apart (faucet handles will come off in your hand, towel bars come loose from the wall, etc). I never pick the cheapest contractor but Luis and Antonio assured me I'd be pleased with the final product. It looks like I did it myself and I am not handy!

I finally made the decision to renovate my kitchen and found BSW on Angie's List and Houzz. From the beginning, Mona was patient and very knowledgeable. I started the process wanting carrera marble, but after going to the stone yard, Mona noticed that I was being repeatedly drawn to a quartzite (fantasy brown). I didn't even notice it until Mona pointed it out! So after I jumped into the bold (fantasy brown) and left the classic humdrum (carrera) behind, enter John and his team of installers. While templating, John even gave me suggestions on my choice of brackets for the floating counter. During the install day, the crew was friendly, professional, and quick! Even though there were slight modifications needed, which were explained to me in a clear manner, the install took less than 2 hours. I'm extremely happy with BSW and would recommend them to anyone!

I did a partial kitchen reno and needed to match the existing quartz counters that Mona's team installed last time. Ran into a problem: they didn't have any remnants in that color, and I'd have to purchase a whole slab just to match a little section. Mona came to the rescue! She offered me a remnant of a different color that she promised matches really really closely the original color. And since the new section was to be installed across from the old one (not contiguous), it would be very hard to tell. Sure enough, it worked out perfectly and Mona saved me a lot of money by finding a creative solution. Just like last time, I was doing this long distance without seeing anything in person. With contractors there is always drama or miscommunications, especially if you are not there to supervise. Not with Mona. Her reliability, attention to detail, and smart problem-solving in every project, no matter how small, give me total peace of mind. And the prices are still very reasonable, even years later! Thank you so much!

Maureen just staged my condo in Cambridge which I was able to sell quickly at a great price. I was…read moreskeptical about retaining a stager because my place is fairly small and I wasn't sure it was worth the cost. The issue with staging is that you have to have faith. You will never know how much of an impact it had, if any. I think Maureen did a great job though! She told me what items to put into storage to make my place look bigger and she reorganized my things in a way that made the condo more inviting. She also brought in some of her own things to complete the picture. I would highly recommend DaVinci if you are going to use a stager. My realtors use her themselves when they sell their own homes too. She is definitely an expert at what she does! The only reason I am giving 4 instead of 5 stars is because of the cost. My condo is only 700 square feet and the cost was $2,500. Maureen came for an initial consult and then spent one full day staging. Again, I have no way of knowing how much added benefit the staging had with the sale price and while I'd like to think it increased the sale by at least $2,500 I just don't know. In any case, I would still highly recommend DaVinci, especially if you have a larger home or you are selling in a less desirable area as I think the added benefit will be more noticeable.

First project: After a few failed attempts to work with decorators, I received a very strong referance from a dear friend that Davinci Designer Gallery - Maureen Reddy - was the way to go.... She was right! My first work with Maureen was to help with the selection of colors for all of the first floor rooms. We have a home that is full of art that we have collected from around the world. We also have an eclectic collection of antiques and other objects. Maureen took everything in, in additon to our unique sensibilities and in a very short time recommended colors for each room. To this day we still receive compliments on the lovely colors and how beautifully they work with our art. Second Project: Now we are really ready for big changes and called Maureen Reddy once again. She helped me think through and design everything - from the choices of new furnature - to the selection of fabrics for three antique wing chairs an antique couch and much more. She has an amazing eye for detail and design -- I still am amazed at how well she is able to understnad what we like and at the same time help us move in new directions - from rugs to lampts to other objects from her personal collection - the result was breathtaking! She (Maureen) is professional, honest and fair in her pricing and an amazing artist. She's also a lot of fun to work with! We recommend Davinci and Maureen 1000% and can't want for the next project - the re-do of the entire upstairs of our home.
