Rebecca was prompt, friendly, and did amazing work. She was frugal with her time, and did exactly what I needed.

Claire is absolutely amazing. I think one of the best parts of her services is that she incredibly…read moreunderstanding of all situations and she really cares about what is going to work for you. She came over to my house when it was in shambles...I was so embarrassed - I didn't have people over for weeks and then she came in and just asked me what was going on. We talked and she started helping me. I have a hard time focusing on one task at a time, figuring out how to organize things, and what I really need to keep. Claire helped me so much with all of this. She helped me organize, clean, and get rid of things throughout my entire house. I feel so much better about my house now that it is actually organized - it's so much easier to keep clean! These things may be easy for some people, but people who function like me know how much an understanding and helpful person/organization can truly help. I am incredibly grateful that I met Claire and I am forever thankful for her help. If you need any help organizing your house and want someone who understands and accepts you for you, contact Claire. You will not regret it.

I absolutely cannot recommend Laura and her team enough. She overwhelmed each and every expectation…read moreI had. Months after completion of this project, I am still blissfully happy with the results. We chose this house because it was way under market value, and it had the footprint I wanted. It was built in 1986, and had never been updated since. We needed the entire first floor redone and opened up. We needed gas lines moved, all electrical moved, and plumbing reconfigured. We went down to the studs. Laura made the planning process exciting and easy. Picture sitting down with a great friend and talking about everything you want! She did everything to perfection, BUT I am realizing looking at the photos how many requests I really hit her with: window seat, dog "garage," pantry cabinet, side-mounted sink in the island, moving the utilities, the "BREAKFAST NOOK CONCEPT," the bin drawers, the cookie sheet drawer, the touch faucet, the refrigerated drawers and the dining room to office plan... our wonderful designer listened to all of it and made it real. Then of course she gave me the opportunity to choose all the materials: granite, tiles, flooring, paint, island legs, lighting locations and fixtures, water fixtures, cabinet fixtures, custom cabinet colors (and she even came over and helped me wear and distress it herself, spending hours on the process with me) and she guided me through all of it. She shopped with me, and budgeted with me. (Then I chose all the furniture and treatments, but she was available, had I chosen to hire her for that as well.) So somehow, it's all stuff I could never have done on my own - and yet it's all unquestionably "me." Laura had an innate understanding for MY style, and chose lighting fixtures, materials, hardware and appliances that were exactly what I didn't know I was looking for. Her understanding of what I wanted was total, from structure to finishes. She never lost sight of my goals. Laura worked within my budget (I suspect, at some cost to her). We spent exactly what I communicated my budget to be. She gave me an entirely new first floor for this cost. She budgeted in everything: labor, design, demolition, fees, permits, materials, hardware, and appliances. There were NO surprises along the way. She never collected until I was happy. She found ways to get me what I wanted while still staying in my budget. She NEVER, NEVER tried to "upsell" me on anything whatsoever in order to increase the project scale. She reused materials whenever possible, and guided me when it was not possible. In addition, she handles all of the "red tape." I signed my contract, and she handled everything else. Every step of the process with her was a huge relief. Have you read, "get your designer's estimate, then double it?" That absolutely did not happen here. I also feel that the value for the scope of this kitchen, living room, bathroom and dining room project was absolutely excellent for what we accomplished. We only got this close to the budget because prior to the start of the project, we acquired water damage and had to add the lighting and the living room ceiling to the project. (She still stayed under budget.) Importantly, Laura handled the lion's share of this project for two weeks while we were out of the country. We weren't even here! She and her team (electrician, painter, cabinet maker, demo guys, flooring installation, gas, heating and a/c, tile and backsplash, etc.) worked late into the nights many times (we know because of the Ring app) to get everything done by each of her deadlines, our deadlines, and the inspection deadlines. When we came home, everything "ugly" or loud had been done - and most of the work was complete. How's that for trust? Laura's team of contractors, artisans and employees are the best (I think so because of the results, and from observing them on my return), but make no mistake - this lady is the one in charge. I was home one day while the cabinet maker/countertop installer were having a discussion about how to fit the side-mount sink in the island (a novel placement based on my request) and Laura grabbed a measuring tape and handled the issue immediately. Her knowledge base is of the highest level and she conducted the project with absolute expertise. Her direction was the heart and soul of this project. Don't be fooled by her light and easy manner - she had the scope of this project in hand from the broadest scope to the finest detail. Her blueprints and plans are precise and seasoned by experience. I am so impressed by her. The photos say it all. Silver Leaf didn't give me a gorgeous first floor, they gave me a brand new way to live, work and play. She gave me my "dream space," in a way that is functional and approachable for our everyday lives. I almost feel guilty for being so content in the time of quarantine! I would never use another designer to plan and execute my projects.

Please accept my sincere apology. You are heard and believed." That was all I was after. I am leaving the review up because the visit happened, and I am adding this because the ownership answered and is doing something about it. --- Unfortunately, I can't leave 0 stars. My partner dropped off four window screens to be rescreened. On the first visit, the woman at the counter noticed the tension springs were missing from most of them and asked Sam, the manager, what to do. His answer was "well, if she's accurate, then we need to order some more, and it'll be a week." I hadn't been doubted about anything yet, and I was already being doubted. Two weeks passed with no contact, so I called and drove over. Sam told me they had texted and called. I received neither. The only reason I was standing there is that I called them. He then told me I had brought in three screens, not four. I told him it was four. He would not go look again. He told me I was trespassing, told me to leave, and said he was calling the police, and he started dialing. He stood there dialing for four or five minutes and never completed a call. While he was pretending to dial, I told him how it looked from where I was standing: he had decided I was wrong because I'm a woman, and he was keeping my property over it. He went back to pretending to dial. I finally asked the woman at the counter if she would please check one more time. She went back, said "oh, hold on," and my fourth screen was exactly where it should have been. The three large ones had been grouped together and the small one set off by itself. Their own filing was the whole mystery. I left with all four screens and no apology. The one star is not for her. She was the only person in that building who was willing to go look. A busy counter miscounts sometimes. That is not what this review is about. This is about a manager who would rather accuse a paying customer of lying, and fake-dial the police for five minutes, than ask his own employee to look one more time. If you use this shop anyway, photograph what you drop off with the full count in the frame, label each piece, and get the count written on your ticket.

I had looked at the door, having taken framing courses, and knew it wasn't going to straight forward to remove the trim. I told the tech that and also said I hoped to replace the door with a new one soon that was energy efficient. Because I said that, they agreed to do my door as these 75yo doors can take cosmetic damage to remove the pane. Again, the glazer arrived on time. The end result, which he was proud of, was a tiny hole and a tiny crack ( easily filled with wood caulk if I cared). It was great! He was done quickly and I can't thank them more. Likewise with my SIL. But hey, cardboard and duct tape was more energy efficient during those really frigid days!

Not only was Benji and his team great to work with they took the time to explain the process, answer my questions, and even keep me informed through out the process from scheduling to installation. Benji even helped me navigate the insurance process (since this was my first home owners claim) and explained next steps to make sure my insurance company was kept in the loop and on board with our solutions. They were quick, clean and very nice. When they found some construction mistakes under the old roof, Benji talked through my options, explained the costs (which was very minimal) and made sure I was comfortable with proceeding with the repair. After the roof was replaced it looked nicer and more finished than the original roof I had when I bought the house. Ace Exteriors took the time to install edging that completed the look and hid the hardware underneath. Extra bonus! Overall this team went above and beyond my expectations. I've had many contractors work on my house (large companies and small) and Ace Exteriors was one of the best experiences I've ever had. I feel good about the work that was completed, and the cost was very reasonable. Super happy to work with them again.
