how we work

Your first meeting with Marlene & Co is a relaxed, collaborative conversation in our design studio where we simply get to know one another. It’s an opportunity for you to share your goals, your lifestyle, and the feeling you want your home to evoke, and for us to introduce our design‑forward, full‑service approach.

Our three-phase design build process

We visit your home to document the space, understand existing conditions, and explore design opportunities. Using this information, we create an initial design direction supported by 3D renderings, material samples, a proposed scope, budget, and preliminary timelines.

Together, we fine‑tune the design, finalize all selections, and fully document every detail to eliminate surprises during construction. This phase concludes with a final contract, secured permits, material orders, and a detailed construction schedule.

Construction begins and our team manages every aspect of the build while keeping you informed through daily photo‑documented updates in your client portal. You can relax knowing the design is executed exactly as planned and your space is brought to life with care and craftsmanship.

Simple. Transparent. Beautiful. That’s the Marlene & Co way.

Marlene & Co Design Build Quotemark in Tangerine
We recently had the pleasure of working with Marlene & Co on a full renovation of our townhouse in Hingham. This included the kitchen and 4 bathrooms, adding a wine room, creating a bonus space in the basement with a custom Murphy bed installation and refinishing all hardwood floors. We couldn't be more pleased with the results. Every space went from just ok to absolutely beautiful! From start to finish, the team was professional, communicative, and detail oriented. They brought creative and thoughtful design suggestions that elevated the overall look and functionality of each space. We highly recommend Marlene & Co for anyone looking to renovate their home.

Marlene & Co transformed my kitchen into a beautiful and bright space that has quickly become my favorite room in the house. Marlene was incredibly easy to work with. She was so responsive and helpful from beginning to end.

Marlene and Marlene & Co are fantastic!!! I met Marlene in 2009 when she designed our kitchen renovation and supplied cabinets, countertops and a lot of vision. Having had such a great experience in 2009, when it came time to turn our playroom into a butler's pantry in 2014, Marlene & Co was my first and only call. Most recently, I worked with Marlene to design a run of cabinets for my church's renovated kitchen. For all three projects, Marlene and her team were incredibly responsive and a real pleasure to deal with. Her vision and her products stand the test of time and continue to stay in style - my kitchen turned 15 years old this year, and I continue to get compliments on what a beautiful and functional space it is! Thank you Marlene!!!

We have used Marlene & Co in two different homes and couldn't be happier with them! They are so incredibly talented at what they do from designing the space to helping pick out the perfect last minute details to finish off the space. They were always accessible whenever I needed them- day or night- and really made this kitchen renovation a wonderful experience. Cannot say enough good things about them- highly recommend!!

Marlene & Co was instrumental in making our kitchen remodel an amazing experience. We are so excited about the finished product! The ideas their team brought to the design table were extremely helpful, and their willingness to incorporate our needs made the whole process that much easier.

We strongly recommend Marlene & Co. They listened to your needs and desires. I need the visual assistance and patience to help in the many decisions one makes, and they provided both. They have both knowledge of what makes a kitchen functional from a cooks perspective and designing the kitchen as the heart of the home. We now have a top quality, inviting kitchen. On top of all that they stayed in our budget, were on time, and are very nice people to work with.

Not able to decide (move or remodel) for years, we knew we needed exceptional design to update several areas of our home starting with the kitchen. Marlene & Co suggested expanding the kitchen into the dining room which was brilliant – not only did it brighten up the space, but we now use it all the time! The Marlene & Co team really is amazing.

Working with Marlene & Co has been a delight. From our first meeting to discuss what we wanted, through the support and advice throughout the project and to the attention to detail at the end, the Marlene & Co team has been fantastic. Our ideas were value-added in every way, with new inspiring ideas thoughtfully suggested that have made for a better end product than we ever expected. We are very pleased with the quality of our kitchen and the finish has been second to none. No project is ever perfect, and the Marlene & Co team has worked quickly to resolve any issue that has arisen - a service that is second to none.

Marlene & Co made the vision of what I wanted my new kitchen to look like a reality! It was very easy to work with them, and they were sensitive to my wants and needs in regards to layout, storage space, style and budget. When I walk into my kitchen now, I feel it is exactly what I wanted and feel it is my style. Marlene is professional and supportive. They were confident in the current trends and attentive to the small details when making decisions.

It isn't often that I can recommend a company without any reservations. This is one of those times! Marlene & Co designed and provided the product for my new kitchen. The quality of their cabinets is superior and the attention to detail provided by Marlene and her staff exceeded our expectations. Marlene or one of her staff was always available by e-mail, phone or in person to address any questions or concerns. Things were always there when she said that they would be. Marlene also seems to have a wealth of connections with other companies that can be beneficial when putting the finishing touches to your project. My family is thrilled with our new kitchen and would not hesitate to work with Marlene & Co in the future on other projects.

After interviewing 3 kitchen design companies, my husband and I selected Marlene & Co. Marlene and her team made us feel comfortable right from the start. She really listened to what we wanted for our dream kitchen. The design and installation all went smoothly. Great communication during the entire project. She was always there to answer any questions or concerns. We were very pleased with the professionalism of the entire team, especially installers. Highly recommend Marlene & Co.

Marlene & Co was wonderful to work with. Marlene was the only kitchen designer who we felt comfortable with. She's incredibly creative, she has an amazing gift for designing spaces and she has fantastic taste. She was always available by phone or email and responded immediately to all my questions. We love our kitchen and still can't believe how it was transformed from the ugliest kitchen to the nicest kitchen in the neighborhood. Marlene also renovated our half bath which came out beautiful. When we are ready to redo our bathroom, we will definitely be contacting Marlene.
