Ardent Design LLC

Ardent Design LLC is a small, Cambridge-based general contractor built around home remodeling and additions rather than quick fixes — its Houzz profile lists home additions, basement remodeling and accessory dwelling units alongside general contracting and home improvement work. The company says it was founded in 2009, working out of an office on Massachusetts Avenue. A 2015 Banker & Tradesman profile describes Dainora running the company while she built out her background in real estate and entrepreneurship, tying the business to a specific owner rather than a faceless outfit. There isn't a customer track record to weigh yet: Houzz shows no reviews posted for the profile, so there's nothing from past clients to set against the company's own claims. Houzz also lists a Home Improvement Contractor Registration, a Real Estate License and a Lead Safety for Renovation, Repair and Painting Certificate on the profile, along with a license number — none of these have been checked against the state registry, so treat them as the company's own claims rather than verified credentials. Anyone considering Ardent Design for a remodel or addition should ask directly for references and confirm the license status independently — there's little to go on beyond a self-reported founding date, an old news mention, and directory listings, with no reviewed jobs yet.
