I've used Brad to help with picking out paint color for our exterior and interior and he and his wife are amazing. The exterior paint color of our house was a big risk and it is quite simply breathtaking. I've had neighbors who I don't even know ring the doorbell and ask for the paint color name. > > What's even more refreshing about Brad is his personality. Brad has a much more eclectic style than either me or my husband but he listens to what you like and want. I've especially appreciated that he pushes you just a little out of your comfort zone. I've been so happy with his choices. I would highly recommend him. **★★★★★ — SSB, Dec. 2020** > Brad and Kendra helped us remodel our kids bedroom in our city apartment. They did an excellent job with a tight space to create a fit-for-purpose room for the kids. Later they also helped us re-paint the whole apartment applying their judgment on best color combinations. They were nice to work with and we were pleased with the work **★★★★★ — Renee Scott Packard, March 2017** > We have used colorThEORY for a few different projects. A few years ago they did our dining room and living room. They started with a color consult to help define but coordinate the two spaces, then designed storyboards for a complete furniture and accessory overhaul for the living room. They took care of all the ordering and placement of furniture and accessories. Recently we've had them back to color consult and re-style our kitchen, recommend and order new dining room furniture. And in the very near future they will be designing and over seeing the complete gut and renovation of our master bedroom and bathroom. Brad and Kendra are completely professional but also approachable and willing to work with your vision, inspirations and budget when designing your space. They are super responsive, answer emails quickly, show up on time and have quickly taken care of the few issues we had with damaged items. Brad and his team have painted and/or wallpapered 3 rooms for us so far, they are conscientious with their prep work, attention to detail and cleaning up after the project. Brad and Kendra really do it all and do it well, we could not be more pleased with all of the projects we have done with them and look forward to the future ones! **★★★★★ — Herb Fremin, March 2017** > Brad & Kendra are two very talented people who are dedicated to their artisanship and committed to providing personalized service to their clients. They are highly skilled as their portfolio attests. Working with them is clearly a business relationship, but in addition to professionalism, it feels highly personable. It was a delight working with them. **★★★★★ — Zandy, March 2017** > We hired Brad initially for a color consultation on our condo and were so impressed with how quickly he was able to envision a color scheme for the space that took into account our needs. I was nervous about a couple of the colors but in the end I was so glad I went with his recommendations. We get comments all the time on our pain colors and the condo has a completely different feel now. There were rooms that I didn't love before, but with Brad's color ideas they have been transformed. We were so impressed that we hired his company to do the painting and were very impressed with those results as well. Further, the carpet installers damaged some paint and while it was not Brad's fault at all, he sent someone down to fix the paint at no extra charge, which was above and beyond what I ever would have expected. If we move someone else I would call Brad immediately on colors and would absolutely hire him again to do painting. **★★★★★ — Lou Mathurin, July 2014** > Brad from colorTHEORY is absolutely amazing. Excellent work and design, he can turn any plain room into a modern contemporary space. He is an excellent painter and does it all himself. Wallpaper? Not a problem, he's great also. His prices are fair for the quality you get, and you will be very happy with the end result. 5 stars all day long. **★★★★ — Closet Solutions, April 2013** > I met with colorTHEORY owners to plan closet systems that I would be building for a new home in Winchester, MA. > > They were easy to work with, creative, and pleasant. Their contributions helped to bring things to a wonderful conclusion. > > I don't hesitate to give a thumbs up to colorTHEORY. > > -Steve Nickse ## Selected projects - [Cape Cod, Ma.
