Dio Talevi Design - Franklin, Massachusetts

Katelyn Jakobsen

Mike and his team have quickly become our go-to home improvement specialists. Mike has taken our home from construction grade design to absolutely spectacular. He worked closely with us during the consultation phase of the process to come up with custom designs that met our vision and would work well within our space. His love for his work is evident in all he does and he is exceptional at his craft. Mike has a trusted group of outside sub-contractors that he works closely with in order to complete the jobs in their entirety. The contractors are professional, courteous, and easy to have in the home. We contracted with Mike for significant millwork project in our main hallway/foyer, which extended to additional jobs throughout the house. There is nothing that he can’t do that doesn’t come out beautiful. Mike has elevated our home and brought our visions to life. his pricing structure is competitive and he completed our jobs in a timely fashion. We are already looking for new projects for Mike and his team to complete.

Working with Michael was great from start to finish. He took the time to understand our ideas and provided tips to really bring it to fruition. We were thrilled with the end result and are already brainstorming new projects to work with Dio Talevi Design again. Michael was extremely communicative, flexible and went the extra mile throughout the process. Highly recommend!

I can't recommend Michael enough--not only for his work, but also for his willingness to listen, his creativity, and his communication throughout the project. Michael transformed our living room with custom built-ins, a board & batten backing, and also adopted a hollow half wall into fireplace storage. In the adjoining mudroom he added cubbies and a shiplap backing. We'll be working with him again soon on a basement project- he's the best!

We consulted with Michael about creating a built in desk and shelving for our daughter’s room. He brainstormed with us about what would make the most sense for the space, as well as what would suit her best as she grows older! He completed the work efficiently, and stayed true to our vision! We will no doubt use him again for future projects! We recommend him highly.

We reached out to Michael for built ins for our entryway and mud room. He was incredibly responsive, and open to our ideas as well as had his own. We loved that he brought his own design ideas as well since we weren’t 100% sure what we wanted at first. He was friendly, trustworthy, and timely. Could not recommend him more and would use him again for future projects.

Antonio does awesome work!! I wanted some barn doors for my back slider and he was awesome! Older house, not everything is straight but he made them look awesome! Antonio and Michael made me an amazing custom closet that suits all my needs/wants!! Also custom made a hall closet into an amazing pantry! Will definitely use them again!

Extremely disappointed. Paid premium craftsman prices for mediocre work. He wasn’t very professional. Left sharp wood scraps in our driveway and on the lawn. Used our trash to dispose of his work garbage without asking. Had to be asked to fix several mistakes that would have been left if I hadn’t mentioned them.i came home to the front door left open more than once while he was out at lunch or getting supplies.

Work was sub par and way overpriced for what it was. I would have attempted it myself if I knew the work was so mediocre. Having a built in permanent part of my home I expected it to be better for the prices I paid.

I approached Michael about creating a fun space under our basement stairs for the kids. I sent him a picture of what I was thinking and without hesitation he said he could make it happen. Not only did he create a super fun playhouse for the kids, he worked extremely fast and was very professional. The project was so well done, down to the custom mailbox. I’m so glad he was able to create a fun space my family will love for years to come!
