My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

We worked with Jeanne on a kitchen and first floor remodel. With so many options, Jeanne listened to me carefully and helped zero in on choices to bring "my style" to life. Jeanne was easy to work with and was also budget conscious. I loved working with Jeanne and love the results of our remodel!

Plain and simple: Jeanne Handy "gets" me. She has an innate and creative sense of color, space and design and she coordinated this with my own personal style. For example: I love light, simplicity and openness. She met all that criteria, recommending pleasing colors, modern fixtures/furniture and stylistic flooring for both my home and office. I've recommended Jeanne to many people.

Jeanne is a great listener. She is creative and responsive. Her color scheme for our home was wonderful. Her solutions for our kitchen design were innovative, thoughtful and user friendly.

Jeanne helped us get just the kitchen renovation we wanted. Her relaxed manner is so refreshing when one can be overwhelmed with design choices. She really listens to you and then gives just a few options that she thinks you will like. She is willing to work with a budget and is open to a range of materials. In our case, we splurged on the granite but did box store lighting. She secured the relationships with the general contractor and cabinet builder, both of whom were top-notch professionals like herself. Jeanne really knows her stuff and, just as importantly, is a wonderful person to work with.

Jeanne has a great talent for listening to her clients and bringing a creative vision to the project that reflects their personality. We have worked together on projects of all scales - from selecting paint colors for my own home to design and finishes for new homes. I look forward to every opportunity to collaborate with Jeanne.

Working with Jeanne is a great experience. I truly can't say enough wonderful things about her. She is a total delight to work with and I am continually amazed by her expertise, kindness, patience, incredible taste and ability to make a daunting task seem easy and fun. She has helped me on two very different projects and I don't know how I could have managed without her. You will be so fortunate if you get to work with her!

I hired Jeanne Handy designs to oversee a complete bathroom renovation in an historic home. Ms. Handy was able to visualize a complete reconfiguration of a relatively small space so that I now have a very comfortable and exceptionally attractive bathroom. She listened carefully to my preferences, helped me choose high quality products within my budget, and carefully and frequently monitored the contractors' work. In fact, I was out of town for most of the project. However, when changes needed to be made, she contacted me often and sent photos of new choices. I have complete confidence in her creative abilities, respect her professionalism, and always enjoy working with her. I would recommend Ms. Handy without reservation.

Jeanne was a pleasure to work with on the renovation of my office space. She worked in a timely fashion and saved me a great amount of money! I have since referred Jeanne to a few clients of mine and they have all been thrilled with her work. Its great to know you can always count on Jeanne and that the job will be finished above and beyond your expectations. I would recommend Jeanne to anyone.

Jeanne helped us the finishing touches to our new condominium and we love what she suggested. She listened to our preferences and tastes, then made excellent suggestions. Her color palette and designs for furnishings, rugs and window treatments satisfied us completely. We will definitely use talent again.

I couldn't be more satisfied with Jeanne's consultation. She listened well to our visions and concerns; seamlessly incorporated our existing aesthetic into our new home, and respected our budget. She was particularly helpful with color and finding just the right rug, furniture and accessory to fit our spaces. She was fun and easy to work with -- so much so that I wish I had a project right now so to call on her again.
