Hammond Design describes itself on Houzz as a full-service interior design firm practicing in the Greater Boston area, with decades of residential interior design and remodeling experience. Its Houzz profile lists Melissa Hammond as the contact. In a January 2015 Houzz review, a homeowner said Melissa and her team helped redesign and renovate a home from the 1800s, with a concept that opened up the kitchen/living area, created a more spacious master bathroom and added built-ins throughout the house. In an April 2015 Houzz review, a homeowner said they hired Melissa twice, first to reconstruct a living room with an oddly shaped fireplace and then to redo a dated, falling-apart kitchen, and that she focused them on 4-8 options. Another January 2015 review describes Melissa presenting several design options, designing a custom built media cabinet and window seating, and setting the homeowners up with a contractor for renovations that included new construction windows and radiant heat. In a July 2014 review, a homeowner said she helped them through a project that included moving walls, relocating rooms and a complete master suite build-out. In an August 2017 Houzz review, a general contractor said Hammond Design's designs help lay out their customers' spaces and recommended them for any size remodel. In a January 2015 review, someone who had worked with Melissa Hammond on many projects said problems such as a wrong supplier order or an unavailable product were dealt with in a calm, constructive way.

Melissa Hammond has designed two complete rooms for us, plus some finishing touches in other rooms. Before starting any project, she learned our likes and dislikes, how the area will be used, and the mood we’re trying to achieve. Thus she created rooms that reflect our tastes and needs. Her skill at envisioning the finished room enables her to select colors and coordinate pieces that work well with each other. We enjoyed working with her and wouldn’t hesitate to use her services again.
We have hired Melissa of Hammond Design on two separate occasions. The first was to reconstruct our living room which included our oddly shaped fireplace and next to redo our dated, falling apart kitchen. Melissa and her team were excellent to work with on all counts. They were respectful of our design ideas, always on time and prompt to reply be it by email or phone call. One of the main reasons that we would use Hammond Design again is that Melissa helped cut through the choices. She had a good sense of our style and was able to focus us on 4-8 options. This was a massive time and stress saver for us personally. Melissa was a joy to work with and we would not hesitate to hire her again on our next renovation project.
Melissa was great to work with. She zeroed in quickly on our style and provided excellent materials to choose from. We were very happy with the quality, selection and design of the materials that she sourced and purchased for our project. We are very happy with the end product.
