“Megan was wonderful to work with. My project involved working with an older structure with a lot of constraints. Megan took the time to understand my needs, was creative in suggesting multiple designs I could choose from. She is detail oriented, responsive, punctual and fairly priced.”

“Michael was so easy to work with, flexible, had great ideas, and was knowledgeable about the market place. We had a great experience with Michael, from start to finish.”

“Nick and Dani from Making Design Studio deserve all the praise for the incredible transformation they brought to our home. They skillfully altered our bathroom layout to seamlessly incorporate a laundry area, making our daily routine much more convenient. The open concept they created by opening up the kitchen to the dining room has completely elevated our living space allowing for so much natural light! Thank you for making our home so much better!”

“Acorn/Deck House now a subsidiary of Trudeau occupies a storied place in the history of American manufactured housing and an equal place in the development of North American modern residential architecture and design. That this company has remained operational and served customers in some form almost without interruption since 1959 is a significant feat given the ups and downs of the real estate and housing markets. That one can still purchase from them the replacement parts and upgrade materials, obtain accurate blueprints for houses built over 40 years ago and converse with people who have absorbed and can relate the experiences and technological developments that have effected these houses makes for a situation unique in the housing industry. In this sense the extraordinary legacy of the Deck House continues to grow. Deck house owners today can expect knowledgeable advice rooted in decades of experience as regards upgrading the energy performance of the older deck houses. They can purchase replacement beams, flooring and exposed cedar ceiling materials that will match and fit houses built in the 1960's and 1970's. They can purchase stylistically consistent components to add on to these houses. They can be referred to builders experienced and knowledgeable as regards the style and construction method. That the original mission of Deck has been expanded to a broader range of style and to create the Next House system bodes well for today's home buyers and builders. As a custom home builder who also offers kit house options and works on the restoration of classic mid-century and modern homes. My relationship with Deck House has been essential.”

“Thorne Design & Build designed and built 3 projects in our Victorian home - a kitchen remodel, basement transformation and full construction of a study and loft. I did not want to stop remodeling! Each project was unique, creative and beautifully designed and constructed. Duncan (owner), worked closely with me to understand my interests for each space and then designed something that met our aesthetic interests and budget. - The kitchen featured a built in nook, reclaimed wood and a stain glass window. - The basement included water proofing, an acid stained concrete floor, and reclaimed pieces for cabinet doors. - The study featured a live edge desk, a full custom ladder to a sweet loft, pipe railing and a diamond large window. I highly recommend Thorne Design & Build.”

“The team at Bryanoji is top tier. They put together a great theme for building a sustainable home that this integrated into all aspects of the site. The attention to placement, function, and efficiency stands out. Most importantly, Brynajoi's work will stand the test of time.”

“In 2011 I engaged the services of Smook Architecture to conceive, design and oversee the construction of a new, 2,600 SF, hurricane-code compliant, second-home, on the water, in Centerville, MA. The home was completed in July 2012 and we are extremely pleased with the finished home, with the details and design elements it includes and with the many compliments it engenders for its contextural design, choice of materials, placement on the site and practicality of use. I would use Smook Architecture again and can recommend their collaborative, insightful services to others without reservation. This was a fun process where our wishes were respected, yet professionally challenged, when appropriate, where a design concept was presented, refined and then adhered to, and where the supervision of the building process was handled professionally, firmly and timely. I would not hesitate to use Smook Architecture for future projects, in fact, I would look forward to it!”

“My wife's disabled father was moving in with us and we had to re-vamp the downstairs bathroom to accommodate him and his his walker. We asked InSitu to design a handicap accessible bathroom that would also fit our sense of design. Wow! We couldn't believe what our gutted bathroom turned into, and then some! InSitu proposed something that nobody else even thought of: opening up the floor over the basement for a step-down tub/shower! We (wife and kids) now step down three steps into a jacuzzi tub with double shower heads and no curtain to hide the tiling and keep kid-generated mess under control. My father-in-law showers in a different bathroom upstairs, but the toilet "grab bars" were disguised as the toilet-paper/magazine rack on one side and the counter top on the other. Worked like a charm for my father-in-law. Tons of storage space, too, and a big mirror my wife can see the back of her head in. InSitu organized an army of different workers who did great work in a small space. Guests now inevitably comment on the great bathroom and only on careful inspection realize that it is actually handicap accessible.”

“Matt is a great person and the best home designer I have ever worked with ! He has designed over 50 homes for me from a simple plan to a 5000 SqFt custom home and not missing a single detail. Matt will meet you at your home , the building site and inspect the framing as well. Greener Living Luxury Homes LLC Danny Gardner ( Master Builder)”

“My husband and I have had the pleasure of working with Jason on two projects. The first was a renovation of an existing space. Our old choppy house needed an update. Jason understood our vision and delivered an outstanding design plan. We couldn't have been happier with the outcome. He was able to bring a lot of interesting ideas that we had never thought of on our own. We loved working with Jason so much that when we decided to add to our existing home, we called him right away. Again, we were thrilled with the plans and are looking forward to the final product (completion about 1 month away!). Working with Jason is very collaborative process. He is very patient and listens to your ideas, thoughts, and concerns. We had an idea of what we wanted to achieve for both projects but could not have gotten there without Jason's insight and guidance. We would highly recommend Kurtz Design Studio, LLC for any project. Jason is truly amazing and we feel really lucky to have had the opportunity to work with him.”
