From the initial meeting and walk through with Angelo and Rocco we felt comfortable trusting them with our project; they're personable and knowledgeable, they listened to what we wanted but also challenged us with ideas of their own to come up with solutions as our project progressed. Mastrogiacomo is not only a family business, but everyone in the family gets their hands dirty which shows their dedication to quality and the final product. We felt very comfortable having them on site. They keep a clean and safe work space and were very clear with communications. We knew exactly which days they would be working including weekends! Our garden needed some major TLC and Mastrogiacomo delivered with major improvements that we LOVE.

I'm so glad I chose BVL Painting & Carpentry for my interior painting and custom millwork project…read more They stood out not only for the quality of their craftsmanship, but also for their willingness to listen to my ideas and bring my vision to life. I had just purchased a home and faced a very tight timeline between closing and move-in. The project included removing wood paneling, resurfacing the walls, installing custom decorative millwork in four rooms, and painting nearly the entire interior. On the first day, we discovered that all of the walls behind the paneling needed to be sheetrocked, which significantly increased the scope of work and put added pressure on the schedule. The BVL team adapted immediately, arrived by 8:00 a.m. every day, and even worked evenings and weekends to keep the project on track. Jaime, the owner, was actively involved throughout the project and made sure everything was progressing smoothly. Joan, the office manager, kept every detail organized--from coordinating paint colors to sending photos and confirming that the millwork matched my vision. Their communication was excellent from start to finish, and I always felt informed and confident about the project's progress. The finished walls and millwork look beautiful, and I couldn't be happier with the final result. If you're looking for a contractor who combines quality workmanship, professionalism, strong communication, and a genuine commitment to customer satisfaction, I would highly recommend BVL Painting & Carpentry.

Obviously the price range is also all over the place. I appreciated the fact the salesperson let us go into the show case area to look around without any pressure whatsoever. Once we narrowed down our choices to what we liked she was able to give us the prices for each selection we made. Sonia was excellent, she explained what we needed and how they priced everything. Once we placed our order she then gave us the option to actually pick the pallets of stone we wanted. Extremely professional service. Once we went to the yard the gentleman who helped us pulled out about 5-6 pallets and then explained how to go about selecting the stones which would work better together. These guys are great. We went back the next day and worked with Mike who assisted us with some additional selections because our contractor suggested we needed to pick up some other items to pull of the job. Can't wait to see how our patio will look once it is done.

DO NOT use Bella Garden based on our experience. She took money from us and stopped responding and…read moredidn't do the work (aka stole money). See below for full story. Lisa had a medical emergency, and I genuinely understand that unexpected health issues happen. However, that does not excuse what happened to us as customers. Bella Garden took a significant amount of our money for work that was never completed. We also paid for a significant $10k+ project that although completed, was completed neglected after her medical leave, crews were not sent to properly care for our property. The result is that work we paid thousands of dollars for has deteriorated because the garden was not maintained. A business that only operates if one person is available cannot properly care for customers. Even when Lisa was not on leave, it was always difficult to schedule care and maintenance of our property, emails would go unanswered and it would take weeks to make any progress. Now, Lisa has stopped responding to requests to send maintenance and to return the money for work that we paid for that was never completed. At this point, we feel completely abandoned as customers and are out a substantial amount of money that she has essentially now stolen from us. Whatever the circumstances may be, customers should not be left paying for unfinished work with no communication or resolution. Based on our experience, I would strongly advise against hiring Bella Garden unless you want your money stolen and your garden to fall apart due to their negligence.

As someone who now spends roughly half the year in Scottsdale and returns to the city each spring, having a designer who is not only talented but also reliable from a distance was incredibly important to me. When I finally had the opportunity to work with her after gaining access to an outdoor terrace, I reached out without hesitation. Despite my seasonal schedule and being away for extended periods, Lisa was consistent, responsive, and completely dependable throughout the entire process. From the beginning, she presented a clear, thoughtful concept that felt tailored to both the architecture and how I wanted to use the space. What also stood out was her integrity, her commitment to ethical sourcing was a key factor in my decision to move forward, and she was transparent and intentional at every step. The finished result is a beautiful, organic, and private terrace that feels like a true urban retreat. It's rare to find someone who can translate a city outdoor space into something this calm, layered, and livable, but Lisa absolutely delivered through Bella Gardens. I couldn't be happier with how it turned out.
