“Joe thrives on creating the very best and unique space for each of his clients.  I often say that a little part of Joe is in every nail and plank in our home.  We look forward to continued adventures with him and the Opus gang!”

- Client from Lexington

“With Opus, there is no detail that is forgotten, and this gives you a sense of safety and security that your project is in the best hands for the job. Not only is there constant communication from their end, but they go above and beyond to make their clients aware that no question or concern is a burden. With a deep respect for the client’s vision and a can do attitude towards everything, [Opus] has set the bar high for everything.

- Client from Newton

“Joe first worked on a project for me in 2004, a significant renovation of a large house in West Cambridge. And I just kept coming back — three follow-on projects, and then a renovation of the apartment to which I have downsized now that my children are grown. Joe stands behind his work and is unfailingly honest and transparent. He knows every trade, can diagnose every issue, understands historic buildings, and is a true artist and craftsman. Joe dedicates his heart, mind, and soul to every aspect of a project to create spaces that are beautiful and distinctive.”

- Client from Cambridge

“Once I started working with Opus, the pre-project stress was gone. If you don’t have time to manage every aspect of your project, they will take care of any concern. With fabulous subcontractors and willingness to put in the time and effort to ensure quality work, stellar craftsmanship, and a clean livable home every day, I not only plan on calling back again, but now have Joe on speed dial.”

- Client from Boston

“Multiple things can happen in a renovation, and things are much more complicated than you can imagine. Even as a designer with a lot of experience working with people on their process, you never really know how intricate things are until you live it. The client needs to be compatible with the builder and Opus can handle everything from big to small and complicated to simple. Not only did they explain everything clearly but they could also handle any question or concern I had.”
