Highlights
- Perfect ratings — 5.0 on both Houzz and Google so far
- Best of Houzz award — earned through client ratings and engagement
- Personalized design process — Houzz reviewer praised her tailored approach
- Broad service claim — site says its reach spans New England to San Francisco
- Thin review count — perfect averages rest on only a handful of reviews
Every rating Julie Glavin Design has picked up so far is a perfect 5 — the open question is how much sits behind that number. The Salem, Massachusetts studio is owner-operated by Julie Glavin, its principal designer, and describes itself as full-service: remodels, new construction, and the occasional bungalow restoration, with a stated reach that runs from Boston through New England out to San Francisco. The scores back that up: a perfect 5.0 across eight ratings on Houzz, a matching 5-star average across two ratings on Google, and nothing negative turns up anywhere. The note in the one written review on Houzz is personalization — a design process built around how the client actually lives rather than a fixed template — which lines up with the studio's Best of Houzz recognition, an award built on aggregate client ratings rather than self-promotion. Still, this is a thin record: only a handful of written reviews sit behind those perfect averages, so the pattern reads as promising rather than proven. Worth asking about directly: the studio's own claimed service area, stretching from New England to San Francisco, is wide for what reads as a small, owner-led practice, so it's worth confirming she can actually take on a project in your specific town before booking. For someone who wants a personalized, design-led hand on a remodel or new build rather than a high-volume production shop, the early word is good — just ask for a couple of recent, similar-scale references given how few reviews are on the books.

My husband and I have been working along with Julie designing our new living space. Julie has an intuitive sense of space and design. She was a major resource throughout our design build process from lighting, to paint selection, as well as her extensive resource of textiles. Julie made what was an overwhelming project more organized. I especially appreciate her patience and willingness to align with our life style.

I recently had the pleasure of working with Julie Glavin for a redesign of my home, and I cannot recommend her highly enough. Julie's creativity is absolutely unparalleled—she has an incredible knack for envisioning unique and stylish spaces . From the moment we started the project, I was amazed by the variety of design options she presented. Each idea was fresh, innovative, and tailored to my preferences. What truly sets Julie apart is her dynamic approach. She seamlessly adapts to any changes or new ideas that arise. Her flexibility with the budget was another major plus. Julie provided multiple options at different price points, demonstrating her ability to create stunning designs without compromising on quality, regardless of the budget constraints. Overall, Julie's professionalism, attention to detail, and creativity made the entire process enjoyable and stress-free. Julie was able to improve what I initially envisioned and I am thrilled with the results! Thank you, Julie 😊
