“Tom Retnauer and his team are a pleasure to work with. They are able to take a concept from a sketch all the way to completed construction documents in a very timely manor. Tom has a warm way of nurturing ideas from his clients and helping them become a reality. Tom Retnauer and Sandra Baynes are great partners for our firm helping us to be on the cutting edge with our architecture and I whole heartedly recommend their firm for your next project.”

“From the beautiful yet functional front porch to our open-plan kitchen and great room, our home designed by Roger Guernsey has been a delight to live in. We constantly receive compliments on the way our home feels warm and welcoming, while still showcasing beautiful design.”

“Mr. Wermers prepared architecture plans to renovate my existing 1700 s.f. ranch house and to construct a 2000 s.f. addition. The renovations included one bathroom, three bedrooms, kitchen, breakfast room, dining room and living room and to demo the existing one car garage. The additions included a family room, sunroom, two bathrooms, one bedroom, mudroom, two-car garage, laundry room, and a room above the garage (frog). While obtaining a building permit, City staff commented on the detail and thoroughness of the construction plans. Also, Mr. Wermers performed several inspections during construction that resolved several disagreements between the Contractor and the Owner. During the inspections, Mr. Wermers found a few construction faults that saved the Owner thousands of dollars.”

“We are glad we chose Dave Chase to help us with our major exterior home remodel project. Dave's skills were up to the job of designing a new look for our 20 year old home; and providing a knowledgeable sound architectural basis for all of the changes. Dave charged a fair price, and then committed to our project in a personable and reliable manner. He was available to us through change orders, and long after presenting the initial plans. We have already recommended Dave to friends who just purchased a lot and thinking of building a new home. Thank you Dave. We love our results!”

“First I'd like to add that they are the most likeable, honest, respectful and professional contractors I could have ever met. After our first meeting I knew I was in good hands! I had a large addition added on ( like mother in law suite). I created a plan but they professionally designed a 3D blue print with better suggestions that allowed me to get the best use out of the space. I had a budget that they met no overages except for the changes I made which were reasonable. During execution of the project there were no problems, no surprises, no going back and forth and they kept me informed every step of the way. When I had a question they were there to answer without hesitation. I never felt like I was a bother. They went with me to select my hardware, paint colors and when I couldn't find the bathroom double sink I wanted with space. They made me a ceramic top sink with drawers. The project took under five months to complete. I'm very satisfied and pleased of how my project went from start to finish. Mostly they made me feel like a person not a project! I highly recommend this company!!”

“ Full disclosure- I am a kitchen and bath designer who works part time for Featherlite Coaches. For those not familiar with the motor coach world- it is an amazing combination of high tech system integration, extraordinary design and the ultimate in custom work. Featherlite takes an empty bus shell and with the help of a team of engineers, interior designers, electricians, plumbers, and a woodworking shop, convert it into a stunning and technological wonder. Whether it’s for a sports star or someone who loves the journey as much as the destination - clients end up with the ultimate in functional elegance! ”

“Carol at Residential Design Solutions, Inc is definitely one of the most talented residential designers I have worked with, and with 15 + years as a GC I have worked with a lot! But talent is only one of the ingredients needed to be really great. Carol not only completed my plan in a very timely manner but also followed thru with obtaining my James City County Building Permit by overcoming every obstacle the inspectors put in her way. You will not be disappointed! I guarantee it!”

“Anita is a professional artist/designer. She has extensive experience in painting and using creative finishes to transform rooms and furniture. She has expanded into interior design, from concept to implementation. She has very strong visual skills and a command of computer programs to illustrate the finished product in advance to the customer. She has an excellent network of professionals and craftsmen locally with whom she works which makes customizing designs both possible and affordable. She knows what materials are available and their relative quality and functionality. She has great patience and is (nearly!) always willing to accommodate the customer -- just occasionally she'll insist on a certain choice for reasons of quality. She has given my jaded home -- from living room to kitchen -- an updated, contemporary feel.”

“If you truly want the house of your dreams built, Greg Battaglia is the professional who can fulfill those dreams. He is extremely creative, patient, talented and a pleasure to work with over the course of a project. I highly recommend Battaglia Design.”

“We were contacted within two days of inquiry, and owner was out to the house within two days (arrived at 6 PM to accommodate our schedule). Irrigation problems and solutions were quickly studied, watched and identified. Moving to outdoor lighting, our issues and preferences were listened to and then suggestions made for various results and costs were given. The bid came in quickly, and was very detailed and thorough. It was broken into four projects so that we could decide and prioritize. Start and completion times were specified. Waiting for the project to be completed now, but our experience with this company to this point in the project has been exceptional. Neat, professional, communicative, and on time. Great eye for maximum benefit for best price. We are very happy to have found this service after struggling with local irrigation companies not responding to problems and having very erratic and unresponsive seasonal turn on/off service and repairs. Past companies either did not return calls or failed to show up for an appointment. So happy with Moonlight By Design!”
