“Scott did a very thorough job for us and went above and beyond in our expectations. We would recommend using Spring Studio Architecture”

“Jeff Spoelker was excellent through the whole process. My wife and I loved the work that he had done when he was with Lyman Perry Assoc. We wanted the Nantucket look even though we were only building on an 18 acre lake. One of his strengths beyond design was bringing ideas to us on types of light fixtures, flooring choices, and even landscape options that would work. For example, as we moved through the planning process, Jeff recommended that we put in a fire pit down by the lake. We would have never thought of it. We have had so much fun using it with friends, family and neighbors. The bottom line for us was we really didn't know what we wanted when we started thinking about building our "dream home". Hiring a good architect is a must. Jeff is one of them!”

“As new house owners, we left a condo living and decided to move into a house. We ultimately decided to purchase an older house and customize it to our tastes and needs. I had used Houzz.com to source some architects to help us out. We found Robert and a few others but it was Robert that accompanied me to house inspection for one and then also accompanied me to view the house we ended up purchasing. From start to finish, he was there. We utilized Houzz.com albums to collect photos and ideas to share so he could get a better sense of our needs and wants. He managed pretty much everything from the contractors to the purchasing of items. He also has a great eye for detail so when he conducted the final walk (we were traveling) and approved it, I didn't worry about him missing anything. As new home owners new to renovation, we did go over budget and in the end, we did have to omit some of the items/detailing that we wanted which was frustrating but Robert provided us alternatives so that we could discuss and decide. In the end, with the budget issue and not having the home 100% to what we wanted, we are still very happy with the project. People who have seen the home before are amazed at the results. We are very happy to have found Robert. As non-creative home owners who have never renovated a home, we would have never come up with some of the concepts he produced. He enabled us to customize this house enough that it meets our aesthetic and functional needs. Robert is very diligent and detailed. I think he may have been too detailed for us (ha) but as a result of me giving in to him, we have a stand out master bathroom. I view our home a great learning experience into the area of renovation. I now have Robert to use as a standard.”

“We at Sterling Kitchen & Bath love being a preferred vendor with Gardner/Fox! We work well together to create beautiful dream kitchens (and baths!) for our clients. They pay attention to the client's wants and needs, and even the smallest detail is important! The end result is always beautiful when working with Gardner/Fox Associates, Inc!”

“We had a few issues due to unexpected conditions which were delaying our completion date. I called Justin and he reviewed the plan and specs, discovering some misinterpretation of a few code issues. He was not the original architect, but agreed to assist us. JPF Architects got it all sorted out for us. I plan to call and have them take the next project on from the beginning stages.”

“We hired Hays Architecture to design an addition to our raised ranch home. Ellie was nothing but wonderful - on budget, professional, and completely knowledgeable about addition work to a not-easy style of house. She explained what we could and could not do, gave us options, and worked with our contractor as necessary. We were completely satisfied with her work and recommend this firm as one you can trust with your most valuable investment - your home.”

“Stephanie and her team were fantastic. They worked with us closely to develop the master suite that suited our taste, timeline, and budget. Like any home renovation, there are always surprises. But luckily for us, Stephanie always had great solutions. We'd absolutely work with Stephanie again in the future.”

“I contracted Ed for a redesign of the house I purchased at the beginning of 2013. The original property was a narrow 130+ year old 3.5 story house with 5 bedrooms and 1.5 bath with just under 2,000 square feet. Due to the layout and condition of the house, everything down the the studs were to be removed. I approached Ed requesting for a 3 bed 2.5 bath with some preliminary ideas on layouts. I leaned on Ed's experience to guide me through the project as this was my first house and complete renovation. I could not be more satisfied at the level of professionalism that Ed provided. He assisted with on site support with on the fly sketches and hands on work, produced drawings in a timely fashion, and even helped with communication with the township throughout the permitting and construction process. He also made sure to be an active member throughout the entire project as there were many variables that kept showing up during demolition and initial build. He was a perfect buffer to make sure that my ideas were being conveyed to the contractor, as I am very handy myself, I found it hard to get my message across in a way that my contractor could understand. His attention to detail took the house to a whole new level. I have had numerous comments from people that have walked the house throughout construction and they cannot believe the transformation. They are amazed at the little details that make the design stand out. It went from a first house, to a property that I can see myself living in for many years to come. I would recommend Ed to anyone who is looking for a residential to commercial project as his ideas are incredible. I am still painting and decorating but will make sure to post pictures of the final product.”

“We live in an old farm house that was added on to many years ago. That addition was poorly built, poorly planned, falling apart, and needed to be torn down in favor of a new addition. Andy really listened when we described what we were trying to achieve with the new addition. His design matched the old farm house perfectly and we couldn't be happier with the result. Our house now looks like a classic old farm house but has modern amenities that make it a great livable space for our family.”

“You name it and Todd probably helped us when we were doing major construction and redesigning of our new home. We bought a 50 year old home that had great "bones" but was in desperate need of some TLC and then some. Todd was the first person we called after we walked thru the first time with our realtor. He was the first person we called after we talked to our contractor. He was the first person we called when all the work was done and it was time to pick colors, cabinets and furniture. He was part of every decision we made and was an absolute pleasure to work with. Nine times out of ten when someone compliments something in our home - it is something that Todd contributed!!! He made our new house a home and he was worth every penny.”
