Sylvie Meehan Designs

Sylvie helped design our kitchen renovation. Completely worth the design/management fee and I will use her again for future projects. She helped me decide on cabinets, countertops, lighting, and all fnishes and really listened to and took into account my ideas. Our project was estimated to be complete in six weeks and we were finished in four. All of the tradesmen on her team are excellent and I will be using them again in the future. Sylvie has an incredible eye for detail and if something isn’t done correctly, she will have it redone. Juline, her project manager is an integral part of her team. She was at the house everyday and kept me updated daily on the work timeline and budget. We love, love, love our new kitchen. Sylvie is a fantastic creative designer, has a great work ethic, and was wonderful and easy to work with.

Sylvie redid our kitchen, two adjacent living areas, a powder room, laundry room, foyer and hallway. We could not be happier and HIGHLY recommend her. She listens much, asks lots of questions about how one uses the spaces and what one would like to have. She then designs a proposed solution. She helps one establish a project budget and then works hard throughout the project to stay on that budget. She knows and uses excellent subcontractors. We were very pleased with the people, their work ethic and the job they each did on the project. Sylvie schedules trips to local source showrooms to decide on materials, appliances, hardware, etc. She has a keen design eye for colors and materials and overall look. She makes honest critiques of all options discussed but always totally yields to what the client ultimately wants. She monitors the overall schedule carefully, which was an extra challenge in the case of our project which was post pandemic with subcontractors overbooked for work and delay of materials and appliances delivery and price inflation. She visits the project very often and is quick to respond to any client concerns about the work. She is a delight to work with.

My wife and I were anxious about renovating our kitchen, mostly because the design we wanted would require a complete gutting of the old kitchen and rearrangement of water pipes. From the start Sylvie put us at ease. She's friendly, upbeat and professional, and always had a positive attitude. She developed the design and managed the renovation from start to finish. Throughout the process she was tenacious in making sure that everything from appliance orders to workmanship were done correctly. She's very responsive, action-oriented and takes a lot of pride in her work. If we had an issue, we only had to tell her once and she would jump on it until it was resolved. She completed the project on time and within the budget we established. We remain thrilled with the result. Sylvie's a pleasure to work with and she definitely will be our go-to person for any future renovations.

Sylvie helped us completely update our master bath and closet. She has a great eye for design, thinking of future needs and keeping the design clean and modern. It feels as if we now have a resort-styled master bath. We went with her suggested vendors and contractors, which kept things simple and on a high, professional level. After assisting with design and budgeting, work started immediately and with no delays. She stopped by most every day to check on how the guys were doing and to ensure we were satisfied. Her schedule and rules for jobsite etiquette for the trades was posted & followed. In addition to her design skills, job management was terrific. Not only were trades kept on schedule, but the pay process was great. I was given a detailed Excel worksheet that tracked cost for vendors and contractors along and our payments to each. No surprises, and I always understood exactly where we were in the process. They say the most important part of construction is staying on schedule and on budget – and Sylvie excelled at both. Great experience, and yes, we would do it again.

We have lived in our contemporary home for 25 years. We have remodeled it in several stages, throughout the years as our children grew up and moved out. But we had never completely remodeled the master bedroom and bathroom, and it was pretty firmly late 70's with only some cosmetic upgrades along the way (and repairs!!) I had met Sylvie when she was working a 2nd or 3rd time for one of my neighbors, and noticed how much she was actually AT the job, and working to make sure the subcontractors were there as scheduled and everyone was on the same page.She was involved in all decisions with great ideas! Always organized and on schedule and conscientious regarding the budget. Her communication skills are excellent and always available or quick to respond. Sylvie worked enthusiastic and so helpfully throughout the design process. Always with good ideas, so along the way we decided a new hallway, a new laundry room since it was old too, and the wall between the bath & laundry room was involved. Our Master bedroom got a great cosmetic overhall, and then our guest bathroom too! Sylvie totally made up for our own lack of knowledge of style and worked out a dream remodel for us. It was a busy exciting experience, and I would recommend consulting with her, no matter how dreary your current situation is, because she is so positive, imaginative, experienced and tasteful to the tiniest of details. Look at the pics I'm adding since she didn't include them in her pics of our bathroom!

We wanted our 90’s kitchen updated and a focal point of our home. Sylvie Meehan Designs was so professional and excellent in helping us to accomplish that. Sylvie’s expertise of planning, selecting, seeing the work done from end to end was so much more than we expected. She took the stress away from us and gave us a beautiful open kitchen that we just couldn’t have imagined could be done! We love her work and how she puts all of her love into her what she does to make her customers so happy.

Sylvie was amazing! I hired her to help pick out a new floor for our formal piano room along with a new paint color for the walls. She took me around until we found the perfect color for my floor and suggested the best color for the walls. She was spot on! I love the new, updated look. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a remodel.

I consider Sylvie to be our “home advocate!” It was an absolute treat to get to work with a designer of such high caliber. She assisted us to live in a more functional and stylish home. I am so thankful that she was recommended to us. We will continue (and have continued) to ask for her guidance in other projects. Each project that she has had a hand in (custom toy shelves, a unique beverage center, an Elfa closet, a new home design) has turned out to be show-stopping. Thank you Sylvie!

We hired Sylvie to design / build our master bathroom and make some updates to our kitchen. Total cost of the project was around $45,000 and included her design and project management, complete gutting and rebuild of the master bathroom, and new countertop and backsplash plus painting all cabinets in the kitchen with new hardware installed. Sylvie is a pleasure to work with. Although busy, she never makes you feel rushed. When she's with you, her time is your time. She is a great designer and communicates her opinions in a collaborative way. She was clear about the process and guided us from the design process through to a completed project. We are really pleased with the final product and the people she brought to the project were all professional and easy to work with. I think the fact that all the people working for her were great is the best recommendation you could give about working with her. We wouldn't hesitate to use her again.

Sylvie is a brilliant designer with a positive, can-do personality. Her knowledge and attention to detail blew me away--she was worth every penny! She posted a calendar on my wall, listing what work would be done each day. She let me know exactly when they would arrive. The people she contracted to do the work were excellent--they were pleasant to have around, showed up on time and cleaned up after themselves. (And I could tell that they all adored working with Sylvie even though she was appropriately picky at times.) Sylvie herself went beyond my expectations--I caught her washing off my front door, slipping the painter a personal check because she had forgotten to tell them about an addition we had made--she wanted to pay for the extra work since it wasn't in the bid. I will be sad when my two bathrooms are finished because I will no longer get to start my day with this precious woman, who is creative, but also warm, fun, energetic, thoughtful, and kind.

Sylvie has a warm, friendly personality, and also really knows her stuff. My wife and I had several distinct differences of opinion about our kitchen remodel, which Sylvie handled deftly and with good humor. She was also gracious in helping us move past some less than stellar ideas that we were stuck on. At the same time, Sylvie allowed us to have a lot of input and final say about things, which some designers can have trouble with. The end results are spectacular and far beyond anything we could have produced without Sylvie's input and guidance. We will not hesitate to call her again for help with our next project!

Absolutely inspirational and out of the box designs. Unique and refreshing. I very much enjoyed with with this team of professionals. I do highly recommend Sylevie Meehan Designs to anyone regardless of your budge constraints.
