The end product is both satisfying to the client, and aesthetically pleasing to all.” The Michaels — Hillsborough/Remodel “Almost a year ago, my partner and I decided to add a garage to our Victorian home. After breaking ground we expanded the project to renovate the interior of our home. We realized quickly that although we had plans available that the city required, we were lacking the vision necessary to complete the project. We knew at the end of the project we didn’t want a generic remodel that we would see in 100’s of other homes, we wanted a design that was unique and it was important that it fit our lifestyle. We connected with david mast design and lucky for us it was an extremely smart move. David Mast created a unique and contemporary design that esthetically incorporated the addition of the garage to our existing home. His plan for the renovation of a new master suite and master bath took into account our need to maximize space and light with an eye toward usability and functionality. The design is sleek, hip and definitely not something we’ll see in other remodels. I would highly recommend the services of David Mast Design to anyone in need of a talented and unique designer.” Pass Residence — San Francisco Addition/Remodel “De Mattei Construction has a long and productive association with David Mast Design, working on numerous projects utilizing their skills to assist our clients with interiors, landscaping and lighting over many different design styles. I have found David and his team’s versatility and responsiveness to be of great value to me as a builder. Our clients have found David to be creative and compassionate. In my dealings with the staff at david mast design, they are all high achievers that do not impose their will on their clients. David has set up a strong collaborative process with the project team in order to obtain stunning results. I am pleased to write this note on behalf of David Mast Design.” William Rose — Director Business Development, De Mattei Construction “I have worked with David Mast Design on various projects since 2002. David and his team completed a major redesign of my town house in San Francisco. I find David to be a gifted designer, easy to work with and trustworthy. I highly recommend David and his team of gifted designers.” John R. Ballenger MD — San Francisco/Remodel “Designer, not Dictator. David is not one of those stereotypical interior ‘Dictator’ designers you may have heard about or have seen in the movies. David is sensitive to his clients as individuals, he addresses their needs and will work to incorporate their special interests and cherished items into the overall design. We worked with David on a major remodel that encompassed our entire house plus landscaping. His design ideas were integrated into every phase of the project from exterior elevations, window and door placements, interior rooms and walls, lighting, kitchen and bath design, and interior and exterior colors, finishes and trim details. Because of David’s design ideas, the interior and exterior flow seamlessly together. The end result is an uncluttered modern house that is warm and friendly. Because of the scope of our project, an architect was required. David and our architect worked very well together along with other sub contractors and suppliers. Once the remodeling was done and it came time for furnishings, David came up with a great array of furniture, floor coverings and window treatments for us to consider. He has a tremendous store of resources. We are very happy with the results, but a few are really special to us. One is the library that includes lighting and display shelves to allow the display and easy repositioning of our paintings. Another is the raised garden beds that are part of the landscape design. Also, the flow between the interior and exterior makes our home seem much larger and gives us a feeling that we are not restricted by walls.” The Omans — San Jose/Remodel “We absolutely love David and his team. We’ve used these amazing designers twice, once during an extensive remodel project on our home and once for staging. Both times they did a stellar job. David has a wonderful sense of design and color (he recommended a contemporary palette that we used and were thrilled with!), true attention to detail, and fresh, sophisticated, modern approach. He kept us involved throughout the process; he listened to our input and suggestions, and discussed all ideas prior to finalizing them. Personally, the team is wonderful to work with. They displayed a high degree of integrity, generosity, commitment, and reliability. Our meetings were always highly productive and enjoyable — we found the team to be upbeat, respectful, and extremely pleasant to be around. Knowing that we had a budget, the team was cost conscious. Compared to other designers, they were very cost efficient. In regards to the staging, David and his team made our home look absolutely stunning. All the items that were brought in, from the gorgeous, high quality furniture to the accessories including flowers throughout the house and in the yard, were expertly placed to showcase our home’s best features. Our real estate agent was thrilled with the work David did. So was the buyer of our home who walked in before the house officially went on the market. He was so impressed with the house…that he made a preemptive offer. We have nothing but praise for David and his team and would recommend them for interior design and home staging without reservation.” Jay and Alison – San Francisco/Remodel and Staging for Sale of Property
