Client Testimonials
"We’ve worked with Mona Lisa and crew on a number of projects at our Cafe in Corktown, Detroit. The team is responsive, timely and listens astutely to our personal and project needs from start to finish. We’re thrilled with our recent renovations at Folk!" Rohani Foulkes
"I worked with Mona Lisa Living on a full renovation of the main bathroom in my 100+ year old Virginia park home. This was my first major renovation project and I could not be more pleased with the outcome. Mo and Elyse were able to interpret my scattered unclear vision of what I wanted the space to be and deliver something better than expected. In addition, they were highly professional and transparent along the way. One thing that I especially appreciated was that they treated my home with respect and understood that this was a special space for me and my family. Moreover, all of the subcontractors had the most wonderful things to say about the team at Mona Lisa, which reflects their ethics and commitment to community partnership. I would enthusiastically recommend them to my best of friends. Work with them! You will be glad that you did." Gabrielle Winston-McPherson
"Elyse and her great team of subcontractors took the architect's plans and worked with us to turn the unfinished attic into a wonderful guest suite. Like all jobs, there were issues that came up and Elyse would take the time to work with us to solve the problems. The attic was intended for guests but it has become my favorite space in the house." Ken McFarlane
“As an architect, I am always looking for quality and local builders & tradespeople to work on my jobs and the jobs of my clients. I had come to know Mona Lisa Living from my time working for a local non-profit in the City of Detroit. So when the time came for me to find a local contractor to help facilitate the renovation of my own home I knew exactly who to turn to. Monique and Elyse did not disappoint. Working in the construction industry there are bound to be things that don't go exactly to plan. One of the many things I like about working with Mona Lisa Living is that they are problem solvers. When things do go awry they immediately begin to work with their team and subs to find cost-effective solutions forward. They are diligent, patient, honest, organized, attentive, and just really good at what they do. My wife and I are plenty satisfied with the home and spaces that Mona Lisa Living helped us create. I'd highly recommend them and am excited for the next time we get to work together.” Marques King
