“I engaged Ashish of “RARA Designz” as designer for home improvement for small area extension in one corner to build prayer/Pooja room. Prior to his site visit, I had a plan in my mind to extend the area in both levels, ground and upper floors. His guidance and recommendation in the very first interaction, using the cost versus usable benefit approach, helped me to decide to go with only ground level improvement. This simple decision had a huge positive impact on right scoping of the project. During the course of detailing of drawings, his providing the drawings as options analysis helped me make choices for specific situations. He provided service in a timely manner, setting the expectations upfront. He provided statement of work, and transparent pricing based on expected hours of work. Overall, I am happy and satisfied to have contracted “RARA Designz” for home improvement design service.”

“David was a pleasure to work with, he was organized, always on time, and very helpful. We were truly novices in the game of renovation and he explained all of it to us and walked us through the process.”

“This team did an excellent job with our renovation plans. The finished space exceeds our expectations and adds value to our home!”

“Scott was incredibly helpful, he explained a lot to me and gave me advice even after he knew I was not going to use him as an architect, he still took the time to make sure I was on the right track and told me things to ask the architect I was using instead to make sure my project was done right. The only reason I did not go with him was because the architect I originally got a quote from was less expensive because I was tweaking a design they had already created, versus starting from scratch. Otherwise I would have chosen Scott. He is a good person, very helpful and seems like an incredibly knowledgeable architect. I would recommend him for sure.”

“Solid professionals. Took the time to understand our needs. Creative and came up with ideas. Very patient in dealing with multiple iterations”

“O'Neil Architects provided architectural services and designed an addition to our home in 2007-2008. We were so pleased with the work that we hired them again in 2010 to design our basement renovation. This year they designed a portico for the front entry that will be constructed in 2012. The design work was a collaborative process whereby we, as homeowners, were consulted at each stage of the process. The work for each phase came within the budget estimated at the outset.”

“Working with Will was an absolute pleasure. Will is a true professional who knows how to balance the technical / permitting / construction aspects with the needs of the client. We were very happy with Will's work and would recommend him to anyone wholeheartedly. Our project came out beautifully, on budget and the complements keep coming. Thank you so much, we could not be happier.”

“We have worked several projects with other architects in the past, including two custom homes. Working with Marc O'Grady on the design of our lake front retirement home was by far, our best experience! Marc's knowledge and expertise provided significant added value. His communication skills, patience, availability and flexibility made the project go incredibly smooth and produced the desired results on a fast track and at a cost that was very reasonable. In addition to his overall professionalism, Marc is truly a pleasure to work with. Marc exceeded our expectations in every way imaginable and as a result, I would highly recommend him to anyone who requires the services of an architect.”

“I wanted to add an addition to the rear of my circa 1900 home and I wanted a skilled architect to design it (having seen way too many unaethetic "boxes" merely glued onto the backs of other houses). I had known John Heltzel for more than a decade, both personally and by professional reputation. John's design work was responsive to our needs and desires, imaginative, and was aesthetically impeccable. I'm so glad we have been working together on this.”

“We have worked with Tom Gilbride, president of T.J. Gilbride Architects, on a few projects and are currently building one with them now. Tom's approach with the clients is excellent. He takes the time to make sure they understand the details of the project before it's being built. His knowledge of details and products available on the market is extensive. He makes clients feel informed and at ease during the whole design and construction process. From a general contractor's position working with his drawings, we have been pleased with the level of detail and clarity they provide. He's also involved on the construction side of projects from a construction administrative standpoint. Unlike some other architects we've worked with, he's helpful and available to the general contractor and the subs as needed throughout the project. He has a good understanding of the means and methods of construction demonstrated in his construction drawings. This understanding is also a refreshing trait for a builder that fosters a good relationship and communication throughout the project, ultimately leading to a well built project and satisfied clients. I would highly recommend T.J. Gilbride Architects to anyone looking to build or renovate as well as to builders looking to partner with a quality architectural firm.”
