My wife and I are big and very grateful fans of Joseph Macaya and Decorative Philosophy. Joseph is experienced, thoughtful and thoroughly professional, has an artist's eye with a taste for color, style and design which shows in all his work, and he is a master painter, wallpaper hanger and carpenter and can undertake all types of design and house restoration work with great skill and responsibility His charges are reasonable, he stays on budget and delivers on deadlines, and is more than a pleasure to deal with. We trust and rely on Joseph's judgment and his good business sense and his sense of what looks right and what does not.
Over the past several years, Joseph has worked for us both in our New York City apartment and most recently and most importantly at our Bay Head, NJ home before and after Hurricane Sandy. In our apartment, he repaired and lined the walls, helped select colors, and painted and papered a number of rooms, including a complicated kitchen. He also arranged to have our floors refinished in several rooms. Our apartment looks great thanks to Joseph.
But his tour de force was stepping in and taking over the entire restoration, from top to bottom (a gut renovation was required), of the first floor or our NJ shore home post-hurricane. Joseph proposed new design, new colors, numerous touches including chair railing and wood paneling, he handled all dealings with the subcontractors (plumbing, electrician, etc.), fixed the doors and in essence also put together, ordered and produced a brand new kitchen, including installing it. The Macaya touches, and there are many, show in each room.
(Right at this moment, he is constructing a new outdoor shower -- we just haven't found a job he can't do and can't do with style and creativity.)
At every turn, Joseph Macaya went the extra mile for us, and we couldn't be more pleased with all the work he has done for us. He is cheerful, ethical and pleasure to do business with, and Joseph is the first person we will turn to for any and all future design and decorative work in our homes.
