From Our Clients
Design, craftsmanship, creativity and personnel--all were exceptional.
They boosted insulation everywhere, removed the knob-tube wiring, and tied into our old uneven, un-level house beautifully and with the style reflecting the period of the original house (with the benefits and updates of living in the 21st century).
The project manager, designer and on-site manager were exceptionally professional and clearly committed to creating the best possible home for us.
The design, craftsmanship and project execution were exceptional. It was wonderful to work with such responsible and client-oriented professionals. They also worked with us in many ways to keep us on budget.
