Universal Designers in Woodbury

“I would highly recommend Dovetail Designs! We wanted to do a complete kitchen remodel but didn't have a clear vision of what we were looking for. Jenny came to our house and spent a considerable amount of time with us going over what we wanted in a kitchen and asked questions about our cooking style, etc. She then set to work on developing a kitchen design for us which truly turned out incredible and put all of our ideas into a true vision. Even after we had settled on a plan, Jenny would take additional time to work on the design to find even more ways to perfect it. The end result was a beautiful, well designed kitchen that far exceeded our expectations!”

“When we made the decision to remodel our 1980’s, outdated, small, inefficient mauve and pink kitchen, we contacted Matt Welsh at Bouchard-Pierce to tackle the task. From our first meeting with Matt and all those that followed, he was a pleasure to work with. We were impressed with his creative design ideas, helpful suggestions, and his knowledge of the products Bouchard-Pierce carry. His challenge aside of modernizing our kitchen was to gain more kitchen space using the existing area, make it efficient, and somehow incorporate the top of a free standing butcher’s block made for me by my grandfather somewhere into the counter space. He exceeded our expectations while staying within what we had budgeted. We were excited with the Medallion hickory cabinetry, Cambria quartz counter-top, Vermont soapstone sink and appliances we ended up choosing with his guidance. In addition to his design expertise, he was patient while decisions were being made, was prompt in returning phone calls and emails, met deadlines, and deliveries arrived when he said they would. We had some adjustments that needed to be made to the appliances after installation, however, they were no fault of Matt's and the service department at Bouchard-Pierce made the necessary trips needed to correct the issues. This was our first experience using Bouchard-Pierce and we would certainly recommend Matt Welsh and Bouchard-Pierce to those interested in a kitchen design update or appliances. We are delighted with the results.”

“5 or 6 years we made a decision to relocate to Vermont and build. We interviewed several designers/architects and almost instantly had connection with Ray, he seemed to be what we needed. Our process was a long one, but Ray stuck with us. We stopped the project after for a while after we started with Ray and wasn't sure we'd come back. After a year or so we knew we wanted to jump back in. Ray picked us back up immediately. His attention to detail you'll find unmatched. He is great at suggestions and also adapting to his clients ideas. Soon after we started back we lost our builder. He helped us set up interviews and select a new builder. We started back up at the beginning of the covid pandemic , but Ray worked with us and we managed to visit door/window, flooring, countertops and cabinet vendors with his assistance. he was with us every step of the way. We were lucky to get one of the better builders in upper Vermont and he was very complimentary of Ray's attention to detail and guidance. Ray saw the project to its completion. We've been in over a year now and could not be happier with our finished product.”

“Our company has had the pleasure of partnering with Andrew Volansky on multiple construction projects, residential and commercial, and most recently with the Volansky Studio, on a lakeside traditional Scottish style cottage. Andrew’s attention to detail and open-minded approach to design, guided the project, along with his ability to problem solve and communicate effectively. Upon completion, the home’s fine architectural details and finishes, combine modern convenience with cozy 17th Century charm. We hope to continue collaborating with the Volansky Studio on future projects and highly recommend their professional services to home owners.”

“This review comes from Guy and Shari Violas-Guy has sold 1200 plus homes in Los Angeles over a 30 year career and Shari Insures hundreds of Celebrity Clients homes around the Globe. In my humble opinion, Pete designed the most Amazing Lake Front Home of its' size on Canandaigua Lake, Western New York. Pete is extremely calming, very thorough in his approach in designing a home with timeless elements and character. He is honest, cultured and a pleasure to work with. Rock Star!”

“Sweeney Designbuild designed and built a freestanding roof over our cooking deck and redesigned our front porch and entryway. The staff and craftsmen are of the highest integrity and pricing was honest and open. The end results exceeded our expectations, which were quite specific. The attention to detail and professionalism were 5 out of 5 and an excellent rating is well deserved. It is a year later and we are still extremely pleased with the results.”

“Greg did a major renovation on my 1974 ranch house. He was fantastic. The work was top notch--careful, intelligent, clean. When he thought something could be done more economically, he told me. He's SMART and thoughtful and also he's got great taste. I trusted his sensibilities. He was also easy to LIVE with, which is, essentially, what happens during a home renovation. He's just a lovely person.”

“Working with Mo and Bibi was a pleasure. They provided me with just enough guidance and goods to bring my new kitchen and redecorated bedroom to life. Mo's great taste and product lines at Addison West were perfect guardrails against my outdated aesthetic taking me down the wrong path or into dense forests of indecision. And Bibi's organizational and drafting skills proved to be invaluable in getting the job done efficiently and without too much duplication of labor on the contractor's side.”

“Pam and Chelsea exceeded our designer expectations and then some!. They are very talented designers and intuitively knew exactly what would work for our projects. They listened to our wants and needs and comfort zone, as far as fabric and furniture type, and nailed our projects. When the design was presented to us we did not change a thing. We now have a professionally decorated home... which feels like home. That is the ultimate compliment. We highly recommend Keeping Good Company. Pam and Chelsea were a pleasure to work with and we were thrilled with the outcome.”

“When adding a new addition to our traditional farmhouse, MaryBeth did an excellent job addressing our concerns of keeping the historical aesthetic . Easy to work with, creative and professional, we'd definitely recommend her to others who are looking to add onto an existing home and wondering how they can remodel and not lose the "feel" of their original house.”
