Dan is one of the most talented, creative, respectful, dependable, trustworthy and patient design professionals I have ever met. I am employed by an international developer, and I've worked with a lot of design firms, many with an international presence, but when I decided to remodel my own home, I chose Dan DeSantis. Impressed with Dan's work as shown on his website, I decided to first hire him to select paint colors in order to update my home but more importantly to get acquainted with Dan and evaluate his talent. In a few years, that relationship grew from simple finish selections to a total renovation and update of my home including all finishes, furnishings, fixtures, lighting, custom cabinetry, drapery, art, accessories, flooring, stone, tile, hardware, exterior color selections, etc. In addition to a wonderful eye for design, Dan is excellent in two very important arenas - (1) respecting and thoughtfully incorporating features, styles, preferences and existing pieces important to the home owner, and (2) in a total gut and/or make over of a room or rooms, transforming the mundane into something spectacularly warm and inviting all the while creating synergy and dialogue from room to room making the total exponentially greater than the sum of its parts. Dan's presentation of finish selections is impressive. He never comes with just one set of finish selections with a take it or leave it attitude. He presents a very well developed design theme with a meaningful variety of choices of fabrics, furniture and lighting types, etc. Dan respects and works within a budget and will provide as many or as few services as needed to complete the project. His work ethic and dependabiliy are impeccable, and he works hard to make himself available when you need him. His rates are reasonable, and he was willing to assist me with every design project I presented regardless of the size, starting with a simple paint color selection project, as mentioned above. Dan is everything any homeowner could ever want in an interior designer and is driven by satisfying his clients. I can in good conscience strongly recommend him without any hesitation to any homeowner regardless of the project size or budget.
