  • Gerald J. Caliendo and team did a great job on my condo repair and renovation in Forest Hills, Queens. The work was done on time and professionally, and correspondence was great. Very accommodating and sensitive to the building's renovation policies. Highly recommended!

  • We hired Gerald J. Caliendo to create a design concept for our apartment in Manhattan. They came up with a fabulous concept that we would not have been able to conceive of on our own. They were very professional and always incorporated our style preferences during each design phase. Gerald J. Caliendo is a very talented group of designers, and, as their name implies, are at the forefront of the interior design world.
