Architects & Building Designers in Dundalk.

“Over the last 30 years, Helen has taken on 3 projects for me: 2 in the house we live in now, and the third and current one is a condo we plan to move to when the renovations there are complete. These projects were spaced 15 years apart, and all are in very modest neighborhoods and circumstances. I mention this because many folks have the idea that an architect designs a house from the ground up, and only for those in the most fortunate of circumstances. While I'm sure that's true in many cases, in my case 30 years ago, I was trying to turn a small attic into a functional, apartment-type, top floor, so that we could live there and care for my elderly parents who owned the house and lived on the first floor. The restriction was not to raise the roof or create more dormers. Helen was referred to me by a number of trades people, and from the moment she entered that dark, small space, she showed nothing but respect and interest in what I was trying to do and agreed to take on the job. Her plans were exactly what I requested. I was amazed that what was on my "wish list" was there in black & white on her plans. Fast forward 15 years, I asked Helen to perform the same magic for the unfinished basement in the same house - AND SHE DID! It turned out amazing. I have been able to live with her designs for 30 years now, and they are still as functional, efficient, and pleasant to live in as they were when they were installed. That's the best thing I can say: we have never tired of the layout, or wished this applicance was in a different spot, or thought a door should be somewhere else. Everything today makes just as much sense as the day she presented the plans. The benefit of her training and experience, and a really good ear for listening, is what makes her projects work and keeps all the costs affordable. The current project is our retirement condo and we both can't wait to see it finished. I wish I could give Helen more than 5 stars!”

“I was looking for contractor to repair my shower floor because it was leaking down to my kitchen. The plumber said will need a contractor. I google for contractor in Clinton, MD. The website Houzz offered 10 companies it recommended. I selected Nehemiah Construction because they had very good reviews and they stuck to the timeline. I could see some of the work they did. When they started on my shower floor, they explained why the water was coming through ceiling and how they're going to fix the problem. That would require renovating the entire shower. I was giving project manage who helped me to pick out the tile etc. Their team did fantastic job on demo and installing tile. I even asked them to put the same tile around my bathtub. By my surprise they re-center my bathtub and made it easier for me to get in & out of the tub. If I needed anything done Nehemiah construction took care of it in a timely manner. Nehemiah construction kept well inform about they will take to get my project done. My bathroom looks like oasis. Because they did such amazing job with my bathroom at my house. I had Nehemiah construction renovate 3 of the bathrooms at my grandmother house in Silver Spring, MD plus sand down my grandmother floors upstairs. this will be the first time for us to see what her floors look like. I had to inform Nehemiah Construction we were having event at the house in March. They said they could do it and have the bathroom and floor ready for our event. My grandmothers plumbing was bad Nehemiah Construction was able to improve her plumbing and electrical while renovating all the bathroom. Plus they put together 2 of her vanity together. The owner of Nehemiah Construction met me at floor & decor and helped me select tile and floor color. This made my life so much easier. In addition, they recommended installing new window because they were disrepair. I was grateful for their recommendation it made a big difference in looks and appearance. I purchased vanity with sink top they immediately showed it was defected, so I was able to address it with the manufacture. Once I receive the new top they will install it before the event. In addition they cleaned up the bathroom and floor to make it easier for me. As for the bathroom they look amazing at my grandmother's house. Everyone in the family loves the bathrooms. But the biggest surpises was seeing the beautiful hardwood floors. I would highly recommend them for anyone project! They were very professional and got the job done in timely manner!”

“We hired Jeff Penza as our architect who essentially transformed our 1935 Georgian home into a modern work of art. He was able to create an addition to our home that maintained the charm of an older home with the conveniences and style of more current trends, a kitchen that still inspires awe. He was available for every step of the process, answering our questions and providing expert opinion while maintaining exceptional professionalism. We will hire Penza and Bailey Architects for any projects going forward.”
