What do recent reviews say?

Reviewers consistently praise Melissa and Jim's design vision, hands-on involvement, and ability to complete projects on schedule. The one negative stems from a cabinet measurement error years ago and perceived lack of accountability. Most reviews highlight how their suggestions improved home layouts and how they handle ongoing maintenance.

Based on limited recent reviews, so treat this as low-confidence.

Recent shift: 11 of 12 recent reviews are five-star, with strong praise for design and execution. One two-star from 5 years ago stands alone regarding measurement and service issues; no recent negative reviews.
