“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.”

“Franklin and Associates is a top-notch firm. Owner, Tim Franklin, is a continued presence on his jobs from start to finish. His design ideas are second to none, willing to stay within affordability yet explore the creative and unique side of design. He listens to his clients and incorporates their ideas into his own. I highly recommend this company.”

“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.”

“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.”

“We used Mike from Artisans Design Group to remodel our kitchen, breakfast area and relocate the entrance from the garage. Mike is very creative, thinks out of the box, has very competent employees(which were great to have in the house) and above all, they are great craftsman. The work took as long as Mike originally stated, about two and a half months. Because Mike got me to move out of my comfort zone, the kitchen is really great! We even have a coffee bar in an unused space above the stair well! Grays, whites and antqiue chandeliers where never in my original plan. I had no question as to who I was going to use in the kitchen as we used Artisan for a back splash/hood in our previous home and Artisan rebuilt our neighbor's older back sun porch and when completed, looked like a major room in the house with so much more style The bathrooms are next!!”

“I have had Dream Builders for 3 remodeling jobs; basement, kitchen and master bath. Their design work and job completion are wonderful. I will be using them and only them for any future work.”

“We hired Mason Bradley for two projects. The first was a kitchen remodel about a year ago and more recently a remodel to our family room. Both projects were handled professionally and the results were awesome. The contractors that he sent to provide the work were great and the communication during the project was exceptional. Would definitely recommend them for any project you might have. Think you will be very happy with the results.”

“We have used Dolson and Sons for quite a few projects. Their knowledge and expertise are a welcome relief. The work was done in a timely fashion, even the time it was an emergency they were on the site the next day to assess the situation. The work was always done with our budget in mind and we never went over the amount agreed upon. A delight to have them in our house working. Will use them again soon.”

“We had Tom build a new home, a ranch, to plans that we got from a friends (whose home he also built some 10 years earlier.) He did a great job managing the contractors, communicating with us, etc. The work was very good, and we are very pleased. The real test though, is AFTER the house is "delivered" to the new owners. Here, Tom really excelled. We had the usual little things- nail pops etc. and he took care of them fast, without complaint and the work was done well, In a few cases, we had a problem due to our own fault, and he STILL took care of those things as well. A good business transaction, done in a friendly way. We could not ask for more!!”
