You are a homeowner ready to start that renovation you’ve been daydreaming about for a while now. You know generally what you want, but aren’t quite sure how it can all come together. You need a design professional who can develop a creative solution that integrates your needs with the potential of the space around you. With a collaborative approach, T&G will be your trusted guide through the architecture and construction process.

What clients are saying.

  • "Olivia was incredibly helpful in turning our vision into a reality. With her combination of construction experience and design expertise (as well as frequent communication), we felt like the project moved incredibly smoothly and got us to the renovation we'd hoped for. She pushed us to drill down on the reasons for our design choices which ultimately led to a better final product - we'd definitely recommend her to anyone looking for an architect and designer!"

    Dan W. | Newton, MA

  • “We engaged Tact & Grit to redesign several outdated areas of our modest home and to create better access and flow. From start to finish, working with Olivia Dube was a complete pleasure. Throughout our project, Olivia was attentive, responsive, and a collaborative problem solver. She listened well and was able to translate our vision into creative, yet practical, solutions readily. She clearly knows her stuff and has a keen eye for detail. We’d work with her again in a heartbeat and recommend her services highly.”

    Jacqueline F. | Marblehead, MA

  • "Olivia helped us turn our racquetball courts into beautiful pickleball courts. We tried to manage the project ourselves, but became overwhelmed with the scope of the project. After contacting Tact and Grit, Olivia was able to take control of our project and bring it back on schedule and back on budget. Olivia's knowledge of building codes and her design ideas played a major role in the success of the project. I absolutely plan on using Tact and Grit on future projects."

    Rick C. | Woburn, MA

  • "Buying a new home and knowing that we needed to renovate much of it was a daunting undertaking, and a bit scary. Choosing to work with Tact & Grit made our lives so much easier and we were able to design and build our dream home. Olivia was able to help us along each step of the way. From translating our ideas into realistic and structurally sound plans, providing us with options for all of our fixtures that fit perfectly with our mood boards, to managing the construction all the way through to completion, we don't know how we would have finished the project on the same timeline and with such great results without Tact & Grit."

    Jason L. | Medford, MA

  • Oliva was an absolute pleasure to work with. Her dedication, communication, creativity, humor, and passion were outstanding. She was an advocate for us when we needed her to be and listened closely to our vision. She was also a joy to work with and is an all around wonderful person! Thank you for helping us bring our dreams to reality and we hope to work with you again in the future!

    Fern & Hilary B. | Boston, MA

  • “Tact and Grit did a wonderful job of taking 1801 space and making it 2023 living space!  She had a vision, incorporated our ideas and input, and worked very well with our builder to ensure what was planned, was executed well.  She was very responsive when we ran into complications, and very professional in her execution.  We love our new house, could not have done it without her, from concepts, to plans, to building.  She also checked in 4 or 5 times along the rehab, once the builder started, to ensure things were done well and according to our wishes, our plan.”
