"Peony’s craftsmanship is exceptional, and their approach went far beyond execution—they contributed to the design in ways that enhanced the space beyond the original plans.

Their attention to detail and artistic eye brought a level of refinement that elevated the studio itself, transforming it into an acoustically controlled environment perfectly suited for music production and deep focus. Peony understood how personal and significant this project was and met me as a true collaborator. Throughout the process, the team was not only open to my ideas but genuinely committed to ensuring that the final result faithfully represented my aspirations, elevating the entire project beyond expectations. Their professionalism and skill, coupled with a clear personal investment in the work, made the experience both efficient and profoundly enjoyable.”

“We have remodeled a number of homes and worked with multiple general contractors during our peripatetic history, but nothing compared to our experience with Peony.

In late 2023 through early 2024, Peony transformed the kitchen and a bathroom of our mid-century modern home in Bucks County, PA. Simply put, the work is in a class by itself. Peony’s superior craftsmanship, refined aesthetic sense, and attention to detail were independently praised by my cousin, a fine cabinet-maker with decades of experience, who remarked that he had rarely encountered a project of this quality. Our experience with this team mirrors the encomia posted on Peony’s website by other satisfied customers. They are an absolute pleasure to work with: patient, unflappable, and receptive to problem solving. The team clearly finds joy in their work. We recommend Peony without reservation. "

“Peony is practical, extremely well-organized, and easy to work with. The team was, in a word, superb.

"We worked with Peony on an extensive renovation of our historic Society Hill home, which we bought at the very start of the pandemic when we decided to relocate from Manhattan. They are very fine craftsmen with a wealth of experience and an eye for design. Ryan is also a very fine, hands-on project manager. He coordinated gracefully with the architect and designer; he commanded the respect of the myriad of people who worked on various aspects of the renovation and oversaw their work closely. Ryan and the team showed great commitment to our project and met all the challenges created by the pandemic. We needed to move in to our home while the project was still underway and the team ensured that the worksite was always safe and neat so we could do that. Probably the most important endorsement we could give is that we liked and respected Ryan and the team even more at the end of our project than we had at the beginning!"

"I worked with Peony on a large project with many high-end details, and the team ensured that everything went smoothly and came out beautifully. Peony’s attention to detail, skill, and care for the project are unparalleled. They made it so that I did not have to worry about anything and ensured that the job was always completed beautifully, with the budget in mind. Peony is easy to work with, easy to communicate with, and consistently professional throughout the process. I would highly recommend Peony for future projects. "

"The Peony team is thoughtful, skilled, reliable, and excellent communicators, bringing deep industry experience to every stage of the project.

Peony’s team built a kitchen, laundry room, and powder room addition on my historic house in Chestnut Hill. The project involved an architect and many subcontractors, and Peony handled the coordination seamlessly. Throughout the process, they were punctual, maintained a tight schedule, and were always available to answer questions—even after hours. Peony has a rare ability to keep both the client and the team calm, aligned, and happy. Their craftsmanship is exceptional, and they take great pride in their work."

"Peony was a pleasure to work with, and I would recommend them for any project.

At the height of the pandemic, our store was broken into four times in three months, and it was devastating. Peony reached out proactively to see how they could help. Since we were no longer offering sit-down service, we needed additional display space to fill the room. Peony repurposed materials typically used in residential projects to create an absolutely stunning display. They fully captured my vision and brought it to life. The result was so meaningful to us that even when we brought back seating, we made sure to preserve space for the display.”

—Justin Moore, General Manager

"Peony worked with us over a period of almost two months, including demolition and reconstruction, and the project went flawlessly—on schedule and at slightly less than the initial cost estimate.

Peony was recommended to us by a prior client as an excellent contractor and custom carpentry firm. Peony coordinated smoothly with various subcontractors and maintained a very neat, well-organized worksite throughout, allowing us to remain in our home during construction. The team kept us closely informed during planning and responded promptly when changes were needed mid-project. I highly recommend Peony for both organizational strength and hands-on craftsmanship on projects large or small, and I would absolutely work with them again."
