Bathroom Designers in Somerville

“We have used Monks several times. Our most recent project involved refinishing our floors and painting some inside of our house. These guys answer their phones, show up on time and give you a quote on their first visit. Then they started on time and finished on time. They weren't the cheapest way to go, but they were the only company I found that could handle the painting, floors and carpentry without subbing everything out. We felt it was worth the money to have one company running the entire project and we were right.”

“We can’t say enough about the amazing way Alison renovated our 1960’s house from an outdated design that did not meet our needs to a beautifully functional design that we now love! We renovated our kitchen and two bathrooms, which can be a daunting task when the situation seems hopeless and you don’t know where to start. Alison brought a holistic approach to the design, creating a functional space that was consistent with the period of the house. She made sure the design worked well with the adjacent space, and helped us with every detail along the way including selection of tile, plumbing fixtures, flooring, appliances, etc… Our kitchen and our master bath were both extremely space challenged and very dated. Somehow Alison found space where there wasn't any before. Our master bath was a postage stamp sized cubicle with a closet style shower and 1960s green tile. Alison had the vision to expand that space into an adjacent closet while maximizing our other closet space in the master bedroom. She designed a beautiful walk-in shower with waterfall tiling and a new expanded vanity, which allows my wife and I to use the bathroom at the same time. We now have an expansive walk-in closet in our master bedroom without sacrificing significant space in the master bedroom. Our kitchen may have been even more of a challenge than our bathroom and the changes that Alison made completely transformed the functionality and beauty of the kitchen. We started with a 1960's galley kitchen with original cabinets, very limited storage space, an undersized oven, and laminated countertops that were space constrained with our microwave and other appliances. Cooking together in our old kitchen was an impossible task as we were constantly bumping into each other. Alison's vision for our kitchen included bumping out the kitchen wall adjacent to our dining room and using the space where the wall had been for new gas cooktop, serving area and additional cabinets. The dining room side of the expansion now includes beautiful glass cabinets that display our formal china. Alison totally reorganized the flow of the kitchen to allow several people to work in the kitchen comfortably. She expanded the entrance from our living room into the kitchen giving it a much more open feel. We now have over twice the amount of cabinet space we previously had and numerous features that make the kitchen far more functional. We are extremely grateful to Alison for make our home so much warmer and more beautiful.”

“Skydell Contracting did an amazing job. Although this was a Master Bath renovation, the project could be viewed as new construction. What a fabulous project this bathroom came to be. The project managers and the staff at Skydell were always professional. When issues did arise, the owner Richard Skydell was immediately there to ascertain the problem and was quick to offer options. We had some of our own ideas that were always welcomed. We would certainly recommend these folks who can handle everything for your home. The bathroom involved total demolition of the existing bath, new insulation and walls. New plumbing, water closet, installation of carrera stone work, electrical and all woodwork. We are very happy with the outcome.”

“We hired Blue Lotus last summer to help design our new master bathroom renovation and supply the cabinets. The bath needed to be taken down to the studs so every element had to be worked out. I knew the tile I wanted and the stone but needed help with everything else. The first thing Tracy recommended was to take out the small linen closet. It shocked me and added greatly to the material and construction cost, but it's the best thing we did. Ended up with a bigger shower and more storage room. Tracy managed the process, helping to choose the contractor, help me make decisions on time, then scheduling the main contractor's steps with the other suppliers. The finished bathroom is solid and beautiful and fits right in with our reproduction farmhouse.”

“Global Cabinets was the 4th company I went to after having not very positive experiences with other cabinet companies. They were referred to me by HomeCrest cabinetry. I have used HomeCrest before in my other home and was pleased with the cabinets and how well they were made. Global Cabinets worked with me on a great design and had creative recommendations. They were patient and solution oriented. Mary came and measured the space while other companies wanted me to pay extra for such a service and sign a waiver. Global Cabinets followed up during the whole process and when we hit a snag during a construction error, they offered up some positive solutions. Global cabinets was the most reasonably priced and the customer service was amazing. Thank you Mary for giving my girls and me a wonderful place to make cookies!”

“After meeting with a few different designers, I met Jen. She was great to work with. She makes what can be an overwhelming process easy and fun. She has a great eye for design but also cares a great deal about function. We had a fabulous experience and our kitchen is drop dead gorgeous!”

“Cooking and eating in our renovated kitchen is a pleasure! Friends and family agree. We owe a great deal to Tracey's design, her unerring eye for color, texture, shape, and light, and her skill in solving problems as they arise, often one step ahead of them. We will absolutely hire Tracey again when we're ready to renovate a bathroom. - Naomi S”

“Andrew and his team renovated a master bath which was anything but master. The space is rather small and we wanted it redone from top to bottom. Andrew came in and gave my husband and I some good ideas on how to make the space look bigger. Once he and his team started, the process was completely smooth and easy. They were here at the same time every morning and took great care to cover the floors and carpets leading to the bathroom. At the end the day they cleaned up everything completely. The job was done within the time frame Andrew stated and the bathroom is everything I could have imagined and more! Our next project is a kitchen renovation and when the time comes, I will use NJ Kitchens and Baths for that as well. I would highly recommend them to anyone.”

“I’ve had the good fortune to have worked with Canterbury on almost of their kitchens. No matter the size of the job their diversity of design and attention to the details was consistent from kitchen to kitchen. Canterbury’s hands on approach from learning about the client’s needs through design to completion provided a welcoming comfort zone. They take pride in what they do. That makes the difference. Canterbury wants the end product to be as close to perfect as possible. I’ve been there and seen it.”

“Amazing! That's the best word to describe Batel as a designer. She was so knowledgable and fantastic and made the entire process smooth and painless and gave me a gorgeous kitchen I love to be in and work. It is the center point of the house and I constantly get compliments and asked who did it for me. I highly recommend her!”
