“I have know Jared now for over a decade. He has great attention to detail and communication. I have worked with Jared on a couple of projects now and always enjoy his company. If you are looking for a quality designer then Jared is your man.”

“Sketched up some ideas for our future home and got exactly what we were looking for. The drawings turned out great. Gabe was very easy to work with and supportive of all our ideas and little changes to make this our perfect forever home.. I would highly recommend him.”

“Larry is very easy to work with, and has a lot of great ideas and helpful suggestion's. This is a first house that we have started from the ground up and he treated each of our questions with respect even if it wasn't something that could be done. He would then explain why it would or wouldn't work.”

“Andrew helped us file for an Alt-2 permit with the NYC DOB. He also helped us with our co-op board package. His services included initial consultation, measurements, architectural drawings, plumbing plan, statement of work being done, filing of permit (with an expeditor), permit pulling, and other certifications required by our board. Andrew was very responsive and flexible. He was able to set up an initial consultation within 24 hours. He came prepared and measured our apartment during the consultation. We executed the contract and the first payment was made shortly thereafter. Andrew has completed all of the work in his scope and has done an amazing job. Even during the renovation process, he went above and beyond his duties and continued checking in. Andrew has provided an A+ experience and we have already recommended him to a couple of friends. He's a class act and will respond very quickly in a professional and polite manner.”

“The Boston Harbor House After two years of failed starts with contractors who couldn't understand the difference between colonial and craftsman, I did what I should have done in the beginning - I met with Sheila Swalling, who immediately understood blending historic design elements with modern conveniences. We were working with a small waterfront lot, and the goal was to recreate a stone house of the type you see along the shores of the east coast and Europe. It was also very important to have total privacy from the street while keeping the feel of an inviting cottage. Sheila's floorplan brilliantly accomplishes including everything essential on the first floor. Family spaces upstairs include an office, a library in the open hallway with coffee service for the upstairs bedrooms. The third floor, a kids' sleeping porch, is perhaps the most special room of all with the roof angles, the skylight and dramatic 180 degree water views. Besides the constrained footprint, we were also against a hard deadline for permits. Incredibly, Sheila nailed every detail after meeting with me only three times, and she produced all the drawings (structual, electrical, lighting, drainage) needed to proceed in a very short time. I hugely recommend SwallingWalk to anyone looking for a great architect. You will find that Sheila isn't just an amazing responsive professional, she's also wonderful company on the most personal of projects - your home. HUGE recommend from me!”

“Kevin was highly recommended to us and has a great reputation in the area. We soon found out exactly why he has earned that reputation. Kevin was our guiding light, helping us through our remodel design and construction process, which included adding another story to our lake house. He came up with great ideas for our kitchen remodel and bathroom remodel as well. He was infinitely patient with us as we went through several iterations of the design. He always offered expert advice and was detail-oriented and thorough. His services are very well worth the money if you want a quality home design! Thank you Kevin!”

“We so appreciated Rogers skill and creativity in both projects; his eye for detail and design are exceptional. Start of construction was July 30, 2015 and occupancy permit by March 9, 2016! Construction cost came in under estimate. We love this house and the way it sets on our site, with views of the Lake/River from first floor bedroom, kitchen, dining and family room; and second floor two bedrooms also have views. Kitchen has cherry custom cabinets and granite counter tops. Kitchen window to East has a view of the wooded hillside, and the daily turkey and deer processions going down to the Lake for a drink.

“We collaborated with Brett Marlo Designs on a custom sliding door for one of her projects. Brett wanted to transform a nook into a study room for her customer's daughters and came to us with the idea of the sliding door. We really enjoyed working with Brett throughout the whole process. She has a great eye for design and is really good at solving design constraints. As you can see from the picture the result of her design was an amazing study space. We look forward to working with her on many projects in the future.”

“Had my kitchen counter tops and back splash redone and they did a fabulous job. It has changed the entire look of my kitchen and was under $1000. I would definitely recommend this company, and will hire them again when needed.”

“Gretchen designed a new bedroom addition & covered front porch for our 1935 bungalow. It all fits in so well, most folks don't realize the room was added. She incorporated all of our requests creatively - including a sunrise window - even tho' the addition faces northwest - a feat that seemed impossible.”
