TESTIMONIALS

"Rachel and Jerry Sullivan of Melrose Studio are an outstanding team and have the depth of experience to navigate all the possible bumps in the road. I would highly recommend them for any project large or small, new build or renovation, luxury or budget-friendly. Our home addition and remodel was a large-scale project, and Melrose Studio was instrumental in project management, value engineering, on-site oversight, architectural design, and finishes, including cabinetry, trim, paneling, and complex exterior design. They are a ‘soup to nuts’ firm, and a joy to work with. We were so grateful to have them on our team."

"Jerry and Rachel are both exceptionally talented professionals who surpassed all expectations! They were able to reimagine, design, and completely transform our 30+-year-old kitchen into our dream kitchen, managing the whole project and their team just as Covid hit. After completion, Rachel continued the next phase of redesign, coordinating color palettes and selecting furnishings and accessories for the family room and living room. Most recently, Rachel completely transformed the exterior of our house, selecting color treatments, lighting, hardscaping, and shutters. We recommend Jerry and Rachel without hesitation!"

"We had an idea of what we wanted for our renovation project but needed a team with talent and vision to make it a reality. We now have a home with a beautiful design that we are thrilled with. Truly, deciding to work with Melrose Studio was the best decision we ever made!"

"I worked with Rachel and Jerry on two renovation projects, and both times they understood what I wanted and designed spaces that are both beautiful and functional. They managed the full scope of each project, problem-solved effectively, and were in constant communication throughout the life of the project. They made what can be a very stressful process very easy!"

"I love my beautiful kitchen by Melrose Studio; it has truly become the heart of my house! They skillfully handled everything from concept to completion, and I even left town for seven weeks and left it in their hands. They are so great, trustworthy, and competent. I couldn’t be happier!"

Lili B. / Maplewood, NJ

"Jerry and Rachel are wonderful to work with and make an amazing team! They handled everything from our master bath remodel to renovating the basement to designing a custom kitchen island. They worked seamlessly with various contractors, handled the design specs, sourced materials, and added all the little details that made the end result truly spectacular and tailored to our unique style."

"I could not have envisioned and executed my kitchen and dining room remodel without Rachel and Jerry. They took the time to listen and designed a functional and beautiful space around my needs. Their creativity and attention to detail were exceptional, and the management, oversight and support they offered through the process was invaluable. Thank you, Jerry and Rachel!"

Celina H. / South Orange, NJ

"Rachel and Jerry listened to our ideas for our renovation, and with their creative vision, designed our luxurious bathroom and modern kitchen. Melrose Studio delivered peace of mind, managing all aspects of the project and were especially adept at problem-solving the surprises that arose in our 1921 center hall colonial. We were impressed with the team Melrose has brought together, and everything remained within budget and on schedule. We highly recommend Rachel and Jerry. They were a pleasure to work with!"

"Having worked with Melrose Studio on an earlier project, we knew where to begin when contemplating a major renovation of our kitchen and powder room. They have exquisite taste, and the experience to know what will and won’t work. Practical in their approach, they deftly balance superior design and construction within a fairly strict budget. As a busy family of six dealing with construction in the Covid era, we knew we needed help not only with the design, but also navigating the various contractors and trades. Melrose Studio was integral to the entire process. Once we formalized the design and plans, they didn’t simply hand it off to a contractor; they astutely managed every aspect of the construction with their team of professionals. Their ‘concept-to-completion’ approach was a true value-add for us, and made Melrose Studio the only and obvious choice for us. They are organized, efficient and kept everything on schedule. Rarely a day went by without a contractor, electrician, plumber or painter on the premises (and sometimes all at once!). That’s a level of efficiency we never would have achieved without Melrose managing the project. We love opening our home to friends and family, and we now have a space to do so that is warm, welcoming, and fills us with pride. Thank you, Melrose Studio!"

"Rachel and Jerry were essential to the remodel of both our home and our office. From re-envisioning how we could remove a wall for better flow to the perfect mix of new furniture, floor coverings, and artwork, they listened to our goals and came back to us with exactly what we needed."

Matt G. / South Orange, NJ

"I have known Jerry for over 15 years; we first worked together to design and build the CNN Broadcast Center at Columbus Circle. He is tremendously effective in making critical decisions and providing valuable direction on a fast-tracked, mission-critical project to deliver on time and under budget."
