**★★★★★ — lordelo, March 2018**

> Glenn and Sherry from Good Life were wonderful to work with on our kitchen renovation. My husband and I couldn’t work with our old, cramped layout but didn’t know what to do to maximize the small space. Glenn and Sherry came up with the optimum design. It feels like we’ve gained double the space! They somehow pulled off everything in our wish list! Very highly recommended!

**★★★★★ — Marc Montalto, Aug. 2017**

> Glenn and his team at Good Life New England should seriously consider changing their company name to Great Life New England. In a single word, our experience with them was GREAT!
>
> Our kitchen project, which was the cornerstone of our home remodel, has been complete for almost 5 months at this point. And we love it! Glenn and his assistant Brittany interpreted all of our crazy thoughts and ideas to deliver a unique, but still classic style kitchen using several bold and unique finishes. The entire design process from initial layout, through inevitable construction challenges, to completion was excellent. Truth be told, we still reach out to them to consult on design and they still bring the same amount of patience, passion and creativity that they brought in our very first meeting.
>
> We highly recommend Good (Great) Life New England to anyone and everyone!

**★★★★★ — Melanie Anderson, Jan. 2017**

> My husband and I just completed a kitchen renovation and had the pleasure of working with Glenn and his staff at Good Life New England.  We couldn't be more pleased with the final result.  From the very first meeting, they were very hands on guiding us through the process.  They were always available to work through many of the decisions that needed to be made when it came to cabinet style, color, appliances, vendors, storage needs, lighting, hardware, etc.  Glenn worked extremely well with our contractor making sure the job was completed on time and on budget.  There isn't one thing I would change - our kitchen works beautifully for our lifestyle - can't wait to host our first dinner party!  I would highly recommend Glenn and his staff; they are top notch!!

**★★★★★ — Jonathan Burwood, Oct. 2016**

> THOUGHTFUL PLANNING, FLAWLESS EXECUTION, AMAZING VALUE:
> We worked with Glenn and his team to add a very large set of built-ins to our transitional family room over the course of a few months this summer.  The design phase was collaborative and thoughtful, with a significant emphasis on getting the smallest of details right, while keeping cost in mind.  Glenn expertly utilized digital design tools, in person, phone and even web-based meetings to make sure we were visually on the same page - all of this prior to committing to the work, with the result of us knowing exactly what we were getting at the end of the day.  Once expectations were set, the contract, fabrication, delivery, installation and inspection phases were flawless - everything happened as Glenn told us it would, when Glenn told us it would happen, and for the pricing agreed upon.  The finished product is incredible.  The best compliment I can pay is that the built-ins look as if they have always been there.  Scale, finish, color, everything is consistent with the room, and the workmanship is perfect.  We had personal attention from Glenn throughout the process.  He returned emails and phone calls same day, often immediately, and personally managed every step of the work.  We highly recommend Glenn and Good Life New England.  Our project turned out substantially better than we first hoped, all because we were fortunate enough to work with such a great team of professionals.  We are already looking for another project for Good Life New England!

**★★★★★ — jayne polvere, Dec. 2015**

> We hired Glenn Meader to design our kitchen. He was very professional and highly qualified to re work our small kitchen space, not only to make it more functional but also to include all the must haves and gadgets I wanted. His design was so "on" not one issue with the installation process. That says it all. I highly recommend Glenn

  - Description: Because we live in New England, where summers can be fleeting, we often collaborate with homeowners who want to make the most of the season by maximizing their outdoor living spaces. This outdoor kitchen, which we recently completed on the South Shore, is built in our 100% weatherproof cabinetry and features ample counter space, a grill with a side burner and a beverage refrigerator for all the necessities. The bar stools on the back side, along with a nearby fire pit, complete the space and inv…
- [Outdoor Kitchen: Cape Cod](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/outdoor-kitchen-cape-cod-pj-vj~1157093)
  - Location: Not specified
  - Photos: 9
  - Description: At this home on Cape Cod, a concrete-topped bar and dramatic black arbor were already part an extensive outdoor entertaining area which includes several decks and terraces, and a large pool, situated on various levels along a hillside. Because the home's primary kitchen is some distance from the bar and pool, preparing meals to enjoy outside with friends and family was cumbersome. Using the space between the bar and the stone retaining wall, we created a fully-functional outdoor kitchen. By incl…
- [Custom Kitchen: Hanover, Massachusetts](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/custom-kitchen-hanover-massachusetts-pj-vj~1049257)
  - Location: Hanover, MA
  - Photos: 23
  - Description: For this kitchen in Hanover - a large open room which includes a breakfast area - we maximized storage and, by addressing some issues with the flow, created efficient work zones. The large center island includes cabinetry, a sink positioned directly across from the cooktop, and a cubby for the dog's bed. An overhang on its marble top allows for comfortable seating. A 'pantry wall' with a sliding library-style ladder adds additional storage. A secondary work zone was created by adding a sink belo…
- [Custom Cabinetry - Living Room: Scituate](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/custom-cabinetry-living-room-scituate-pj-vj~1049498)
  - Location: Scituate, MA
  - Photos: 10
  - Description: The living room of this waterfront home on Boston's South Shore needed a wow factor to provide some balance to the wall of windows which capture the ocean view. We added a series of custom-built shelving and cabinetry along the primary wall of the room with a short ell at one end. The open shelving is backed with bead board to add texture and the upper cabinets are fronted with glass doors to offer both storage and an additional display area. The space now has ample storage and feels more balanc…

  - Location: Not specified
  - Photos: 31
  - Description: While this Cape Cod beach home is fairly new, the homeowner disliked the overall layout of the open kitchen and dining room. We began by flipping the location of the rooms; putting the kitchen where the dining room was originally located. A counter, which includes custom cabinetry, stacked refrigerator drawers and seating, provides definition between the spaces without interrupting the visual flow. At the far end of the kitchen is another bank of cabinetry which includes glass-fronted cabinets f…
