Reviews for ESP Environments

Here’s what Eric’s collaborators & clients have to say:

"Eric is my favorite 'jack of all' trades to partner with. He is a creative collaborator and the work he delivers is beautifully executed. What I love most is he often becomes a one stop shop for my projects. Who else wallpapers the walls, builds & installs the built-ins and hangs the art? Our clients love his peaceful professional demeanor. While many clients call and rave about his work, just as many call and rave about how lovely it was to have him working in their home. We feel very lucky to have him in our creative corner."-- Alexa Harris-Ralff - Founder & Principal Designer AHR Designs - Millburn NJ

"I had a specific vision of a built-in for my bathroom. Eric was the only person I contacted who could bring that vision to life. In addition to being creative and skilled, Eric is a delightful human. I wouldn’t hesitate to hire him for another project!"-- Stephanie Asch - South Orange

"Eric Pilato is an artistic genius as well as the nicest guy you’ll ever work with. We were willing to wait for Eric to find time on his schedule because we knew we would gain the benefit of a master craftsman, and the wait was worth it. He designed a built-in dresser to fit our sloped attic wall and ceiling, and years later, it still looks brand new. Moreover, he was patient with us as we found just the right stains to complement our other wood accents and came up with clever workarounds for the space we had for a built-in desk and shelves in the combined office/bedroom. Any homeowner will be lucky to exhibit Eric’s work in her home."-- Christina Taber-Kewene - Maplewood
