About:
Peter Maslow
Maslow Interiors, LLC
It always begins early on. My Father buys me a set of Legos, so instead of TV or
fancy toys it was building things, little playlands, dioramas. Later on, my Mother's
Father, a Finnish farmer up in Massachusetts, has me help him build a tree house
without putting a single nail into the living tree. He showed me how to wedge
the frame in, without even damaging the bark, and then clad it cutting around
even the smallest limbs. I recall things like this when I am working even now:
there is a spirit of efficiency, of structure, of not wasting time, material or money,
and finding the most sensible route to the desired end. For me, this is the Ethics
of renovation.
The rest is a matter of know-how and hard work. I've been in business as myself
since my college days, operating a carpet cleaning business, then house painting,
which lead to light construction/repairs, which opened the door to where I am
now: a full fledged contractor with an artist's eye for detail who knows how to
deliver the high quality finished product clients need. I also have been in the
business long enough to have vetted my crews and sub contractors to the point
that I have the best of each. As an artist, I have a considerable amount of
international experience and learning, which gives me a healthy overview of all
that I do.
I tell prospective clients that whomever they select to do the work, it must be
someone they feel they can trust - not only to fulfill the terms of the contract and
do excellent and timely work, but who can be relied upon to make all the right
decisions that must be made during the course of the renovation. This requires a
conceptual imagination and years of experience.
I operate a word-of-mouth business, and so all of my clients must be very
satisfied both with the quality of my work and service, and also the fairness of my
pricing.
