Kind Words from Happy Homeowners

  • The Dollhouse team did a fantastic job at our home, Jess designed the bathroom of our dreams and then Sybel and Mery executed with incredible craftsmanship and professionalism, I highly recommend Dollhouse for any renovation work!

  • “The dollHouse team knocked it out of the park when they did our small, outdated kitchen. It’s beautiful functional, and totally our style. We can’t thank them enough for making it happen. During a pandemic. They were also so kind to my dogs, which is a big deal to me. Thank you Jess, Mery, Sybel, Johnny, and the whole team for the beautiful work. Can’t wait to have them back for other projects in my list...”

  • “Dollhouse helped us reno our century home last year and did a fantastic job. They managed COVID issues, supply chain backups, and lots of unforeseen ‘old house’ issues. Their team, who was here every day, became like family, and to this day we know that we can contact them if anything was needed. They take pride in their work, and the whole team is very dedicated. Love to work to with a local team, especially one that’s female led and all inclusive. Love you Dollhouse!”
