Of The Essence Designs did a fantastic job for The Brooklyn Arts Center! We hired them to help in the renovation of a church over 125 years old that is an event rental venue and they met the challenge and then some! For such a small portion of a huge job, their work garners a lot of attention. The design plan and actual painting of the stage and stairs was outstanding and it looked like it should have always been so attractive. The rich metallic tones of the paint glow and add a richness to some already beautiful wood. The price for the job was reasonable and well worth the result. Additionally, they are nice people, work conscientiously and showed up to work when they said they would be here. Would we hire them again? Yes, with no hesitation!

“Tara is, by a long shot, the most talented, professional and organized finisher that I have had the pleasure of working with. Of the Essence has completed several projects for us, both residential and commercial, and I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone seeking their services.”

— CHRISTOPHER BUILDING COMPANY

“Tara and Shannon did a wonderful job updating our kitchen. They took my dated oak cabinets and repainted them white with a light custom tinted glaze to add some richness and warmth. They also added a back-splash and hardware. It looks stunning. I had a certain vision in mind and they executed it beautifully. I am very particular and they were patient with me and thoughtful with every detail to ensure perfection. I would highly recommend this design team.”

— CARRIE JOHNSON

“Excellent company from top to bottom. Tara and Shannon are extremely professional, trustworthy, community oriented, and treat each aspect of the job like it is for their own home. We contracted to have roofing and siding, that were damaged from Florence, repaired. Due to circumstances we were not home during most the work; we were entirely comfortable with their crew and they provided us with frequent updates on progress. The work was done timely and the attention to detail was amazing (looks like new). Highly recommended!!”
