Now that we have had a chance to settle in and get used to things, we enjoy the kitchen every day and couldn’t be happier with the outcome.
Working with Samantha was great - she was patient with us over many months and gave us enough space to work through decisions and contribute to the design. The regular 3-D renderings were essential for us to make decisions and move forward.
There are not enough words to express our enthusiasm for Roberto as the foreman overseeing our worksite.
There are surely many other qualified contractors who could get the job done, but Roberto does far more than just "get the job done." He became a member of our family during a very difficult time (peak COVID surge). Always thoughtful and considerate, he would not hesitate to give us an honest opinion if he thought something was not going to work or if there was something we might not be happy with, which we appreciated.
In short, without Roberto I am not sure we would have come through this process as well as we did. Indeed, we came to depend on Roberto’s superb judgment and skills so much so, that we did not want to have other subcontractors in the house without him there to oversee the work.
In summary, we are very happy with the outcome and thank everyone on the team for...
Read moreSamantha had the details down to 1/8 of an inch on cabinets that stretch 38 feet. Along this wall, she worked around/over a sliding door, 4 ft refrigerator, waterfall edge and a 4 ft range! She mixed timeless and modern designs with Leicht. The Island is efficient and has great looks. My family now spends most our time in our new kitchen. When construction started, she made herself available and visited the site and was a wealth of knowledge and advice. She offered thoughtful designs and layout on other parts of the home - even though it was not part of the kitchen project - it was above and beyond. Samantha was emotionally connected to the project! The kitchen turned out amazing! I look forward to work Samantha again in the near future. I strongly recommend anyone to work with Samantha at Divine Design Center!
This is the second kitchen Samantha has designed for me, and once again, she exceeded my expectations. Her creativity, attention to detail, and ability to bring my vision to life are unmatched. The entire process was seamless, from design to execution, and the final result is both stunning and functional. I wouldn’t use anyone else for my kitchen projects—Samantha is simply the best! Highly recommend her to anyone looking for top-notch...
Read moreWe have now done three kitchens. The first two were part of new homes we had built. This is the first kitchen renovation we have done. The planning, design and construction were of the highest quality and we are extremely happy with the end result. Renovating a kitchen in the Back Bay has its challenges, especially in large multi-unit buildings. Samantha DeMarco was the designer and Roberto Ticas was the construction manager. Samantha thought of everything. She has great vision, a keen eye for balance and symmetry, creativity, reliable follow up skills, professionalism and is a pleasure to work with. Roberto is a smart planner, knows every detail in the plans, extremely proficient in managing the sub-contractors, is a very skilled craftsman, professional and also a pleasure to work with. The planning and contract process was detailed, thorough and efficient. We now have a fantastic kitchen and master bath vanity. The project was completed in record time which is so valuable when you are living through it. We enjoy working in this kitchen more than the large two-island kitchen in our vacation home as it is so efficiently laid out and visually inviting…credit to Samantha and...
