Design and Build Companies in Middlefield, OH

“I have known Martin in a professional capacity since 2001. We initially worked as colleagues at two different mid-size architectural firms over a 2 year period. Martin first came to my attention as a highly skilled Drafting Consultant who was working on some of the more complex projects in the firm. When I moved on to a different company and was asked to recruit new talent, the first person I thought of was Martin. Martin eventually came on board at the new firm and carried a significant project load from day one, allowing his new employer the luxury and financial windfall of billing out a very large and complex luxury multi-family housing project with a modicum of actual manpower. After I founded my own firm, I again recruited Martin when I needed help to complete my own multi-family housing project on a very tight timeline. I gave Martin one of the most challenging technical tasks, that of cutting wall and building sections through this five story building. Martin rose to the challenge and delivered accurate, technically sound work on time and on budget. I knew from past experience that I could count on Martin and he did not let me down. It has been wonderful watching Martin grow his architecture firm into a highly-sought after practice. Martin's attention to detail and craftsmanship shows in all of his projects. His background as a Danish carpenter with many years of architectural practice gives Martin a unique design perspective that other architects simply do not have. I would welcome the opportunity to partner again with Martin in the future.”

“R.B. Schwarz and his crew of professionals completely remodeled our master bath and upgraded the electrical panel and plumbing in our century home. His work was second to none, his professionalism exemplary. He and his crew were very careful of our home and contents. As a designer I work with professional contractors all the time. I would not hesitate to recommend R.B. Schwarz for any project. He and his crew followed my design almost exactly and even when I wanted difficult modifications he complied. We are thrilled with our new bathroom and plan to have him continue on other projects.”

“This review covers two projects, the first in 2014 and the second in 2015. 1)Totally new bathroom, including demolition of old walls, floor, ceiling, and removal of old fixtures at the beginning. New infrastructure (wiring, pipes, installation,) installed by the Beard Group electricians and plumbers, and new walls, ceiling, and floor by Beard Group carpenter and tile setters. Our house was built in 1925. The Beard Group has extensive experience and sensitivity to period details in working with Cleveland and Shaker Heights homes from the Arts and Crafts era. All work was of the highest quality, full attention to every small detail. The Beard Group designer guided us in the selection of wall and floor tile, contrasting tile border, color scheme, fixtures, lighting, and decorative details. The staff are highly skilled, pleasant, responsible, and attentive to detail. We enjoyed meeting them and having them in our house. They clean up thoroughly every day. There is good communication through e-mail and texts regarding schedule. The project manager arranged city permits and inspections. We got the estimate in October, and work began in March. It was well worth the wait for such a wonderful outcome. We especially love the tile installation on walls, floor, and shower niche, which are also admired by everyone who sees the new bathroom. 2)The following year, 2015, we contracted with the Beard Group for a complete demolition and remodeling of the kitchen and powder room. Once again we had an outstanding project result, which included optimized spaces for both rooms. All aspects of the design and construction work were excellent, and we have great appreciation for the quality of the design and trades work. The designers were very patient with us as we often took some time to select materials and cabinets. They understood our preference for maintaining the Craftsman period style, but infused with an updated sensibility that has received rave reviews from our friends and family. We have a great respect for all of the Beard Group staff and sincere appreciation for the quality of work performed. One friend, highly experienced with historic preservation, described the new kitchen as a "triumph of design and beauty."”

“I own a small remodeling company and they do all of my design work. They do great designs and are very easy to work with. They are always available if and when changes are needed or wanted. The quality and cost of their services are very reasonable. I wouldn't trust anyone else with my projects.”

“Just working in the initial stages of our design has proven to be exciting. We have worked with Jeff designing the lobby at our business in this city as well. He mixes contemporary with efficient lines to make a home awesome and liveable at the same time.”

“This is a top-notch company. Mike and Jim are smart problem-solvers, creative thinkers and great people. They brought skilled artisans to work on our major renovation which resulted in a wonderful new kitchen, truly the heart of our home, in our beautiful old (1923) home. It was important to us to have the new kitchen feel appropriate to the period architecture of our house and it does. This was a very large project and could have been beset by frustration, delay and poor communication. Instead it was a smoothly managed project that gives us great pleasure everyday.”

“We hired Karlovec and Co. to remodel our kitchen when we moved into our new house during the summer of 2011. I can't say enough good things about our experience. Everyone on the team was professional and reliable. The job was done on time and within budget. The craftsmanship is beyond compare. We love our kitchen and would recommend Karlovec and Co. to anyone!”

“Payne & Payne Builders are great. They follow up on customer satisfaction after the house has been completed. John Ingram, the project manager keeps in touch to make sure that we are satisfied 3 years after the house was completed. That is what I call great customer service! We would definitely build with Payne & Payne again.”
