Great experience with Straight Line Design! Robert, the owner, was professional and easy to work with. The room turned out clean, bright, and beautifully finished. If you need a reliable general contractor in Barre, Massachusetts, I highly recommend Robert and his team.
We recently had our stair railing and newel posts replaced to make them more functional for our family, and we are very happy with the results. Jay and Edwin both did excellent work. The finished stairs look beautiful and feel solid and secure. They took the time to make adjustments and ensure everything was aligned properly, and the attention to detail really shows. Rob was responsive from the start, flexible with scheduling, and able to begin the job quickly. The project was completed in a timely manner, which we appreciated. Throughout the process, Rob was warm, professional, and easy to communicate with. He made us feel heard, offered thoughtful feedback, and as someone newer to the area, that sense of reliability and community meant a lot. We would absolutely hire Straight Line Design again and highly recommend them to others.

I hired Rob with Straight Line Design to build me a ramp as soon as possible. He was very understanding of my situation and made it a priority. He always communicated with me with figuring out the best approach for the task at hand. He was professional, friendly, and accommodating to every need. The finished work was absolutely amazing, making my life so much easier as I now can get my wife in and out of the house with ease. I highly recommend this company to anyone looking to have something done. I will always call Straight Line Design!
