Home Renovation & Remodeling in Havre de Grace.

“My wife and I hired Peter to re-design our house on the Sassafras River. The re-design included an entirely new second floor as well as a total remodelling of the first floor. Completing this project was more difficult than might ordinarily be the case becuase of zoning and critical area regulations and my wife's disability. Not only was the design spectacular, but Peter was of great assistance in helping us comply with those regulations, choose a contractor and resolving the unforseen problems that are part of any major renovation. The end result: a beautiful weekend home that was delivered on time and within budget.”

“Mark was able to come in and get his redesigned plans through one of the most difficult Architectural Site Review Boards in all of California when our original architect was not able to finish the job. This custom home met all of my needs. Mark was able to translate my verbal descriptions of my design ideas into a cost effective, buildable product. His understanding of how to best utilize this tricky job site made a great difference from other architects that were engaged in the project. This project could never had been done without his guidance and expertise.”

“We hired Jeff to develop a design for the remodeling of the downstairs of our then 80-year-old house. He did a superb job of designing a new entry, rearranging the flow of the house, and integrating the best aspects of the house's existing features, Jeff was attentive to our needs and desires. He as also cognizant of our budget. Our neighborhood organization has an annual contest that awards prizes for the best designed home improvements, and Jeff's redesign was selected as the best for that year. We subesquently had Jeff design a replacedment garage and then design the remodeling of our upstairs rooms. On all our projects, Jeff was involved from the design to the construction supervision. He did a fabulous job, and we would recommend him highly.”

“First and foremost, Sarah is an amazing architect and can design anything. She is versatile with build styles and designs - from modern to farmhouse, you name it. If you're looking for someone to care deeply about the details and work with you throughout the entire process, she is your person! I highly recommend Sarah for any sort of design work - no project is too big or small. Her communication and professionalism is top notch and her drawings are beautiful.”

“Michael Dolce provided us with plans for a home addition with a deck that exceeded our expectations and provided best cost options. I feel his experience gave us options that we had not considered. He listened to our wish list and designed the addition including all of the little details that I wasn't sure would be possible. He allowed for the addition to take place in several phases as our budget would allow. Mr. Dolce was professional, efficient, and paid attention to our requests.”

“I contracted Ed for a redesign of the house I purchased at the beginning of 2013. The original property was a narrow 130+ year old 3.5 story house with 5 bedrooms and 1.5 bath with just under 2,000 square feet. Due to the layout and condition of the house, everything down the the studs were to be removed. I approached Ed requesting for a 3 bed 2.5 bath with some preliminary ideas on layouts. I leaned on Ed's experience to guide me through the project as this was my first house and complete renovation. I could not be more satisfied at the level of professionalism that Ed provided. He assisted with on site support with on the fly sketches and hands on work, produced drawings in a timely fashion, and even helped with communication with the township throughout the permitting and construction process. He also made sure to be an active member throughout the entire project as there were many variables that kept showing up during demolition and initial build. He was a perfect buffer to make sure that my ideas were being conveyed to the contractor, as I am very handy myself, I found it hard to get my message across in a way that my contractor could understand. His attention to detail took the house to a whole new level. I have had numerous comments from people that have walked the house throughout construction and they cannot believe the transformation. They are amazed at the little details that make the design stand out. It went from a first house, to a property that I can see myself living in for many years to come. I would recommend Ed to anyone who is looking for a residential to commercial project as his ideas are incredible. I am still painting and decorating but will make sure to post pictures of the final product.”

“Tina and Doug McCoach are a great team of architects. They do wonderful work, particularly in historic districts where sensitivity to designing new and compatible building elements is critical. They are also very quick to see creative solutions to problems with existing flow patterns that are critical in liveable design. I would recommend them highly.”

“On our first introduction, Revital said to me that she'll build for me just one wall which will provide me with 4 bedrooms and I couldn't see how that's possible, yet it happened! Another thing that happened is that up till today, 20 years later, everyone who stepped into our home is convinced that we just completed its renovation. It took me years of living in our totally remodeled family home, to fully grasp the scope of Revital's vision, thinking and designing. There were things that I wasn't able to see back then, when we, my husband and I, he's a business owner and me a CFO, bought a tunnel shaped mid triplex home in Jerusalem Israel for a great deal. Then, we thought the only problem was the main entrance door to the house which was beaten by the elements and the dull open space it led to. We consulted with a trusted contractor who introduced us to Revital. When she saw the place, she mentioned that she would've done 'something' with the staircase. Little did we know that this something was a key factor for the total upgrade + 60% increase in its market value. She surveyed us thoroughly for our needs as individuals and a family and followed them to the tee; so much so, that often I wasn't able to recognize that this is what I was asking for. There were a few elements in her plans that I strongly disagreed with, only to realize Years later, that she was totally right about them. Revital is genuine; out of the box; orthogonal and lateral, 3D viewer and thinker. Working with her was an unforgettable and vivid experience for us. Apparently, It wasn't only the stretch of our budget, but mainly the stretch of our imagination which was our main challenge. I literally had to sleep on her ideas to wake up with the clarity that Yes, she was right and go with it. For example: When I couldn't grasp why she was adamant on lowering the kitchen window, her answer stayed with me up until today; she said: Instead of watching your neighbor's window, you'd rather view the flowers in your own garden. The house is tailored made for us, each kid got their space while still connected; my husband got his supervisor's view over the stairs; hosting room; spacious fun kitchen that I enjoy as is, up until this day. We started with 3 kids and a baby on her way and today with 5 grandkids and still growing, the house doesn't stop serving us and never disappoint us. Working with Revital is exciting in ways that I didn't see the like of and with it, being patient with yourself will enable you the space you need to see through her vision and long view for your dreams. It wasn't only us, but the entire construction team and other independent contractors who were over the moon with the results of our project as well. They constantly learned from Revital to work in ways they never experienced before. Give it a go and see for yourself. As my best choice was to hire Revital; I'd definitely repeat the entire experience once again! S. Nahmias. Jerusalem, Israel”

“I was referred to Melton Architects by a client, and have since come to learn more of Melton's wide reputation in the area as one of the most trusted architects. Their mission isn't just to do good work, but also to make a lasting contribution to the community at large. We look forward to building a long relationship with Melton Architects.”

“We discovered Laura Thomas of MelvilleThomas by seeing the great range of work & styles profiled on Houzz.com. We were so pleased to learn she was located nearby & understood the area when generating designs. Laura is an incredibly creative architect(and we have worked with others far less so in the past) who was very responsive to our questions, comments, and timetable. She took the time to try to understand both our needs & limitations, as well as our schedule. Laura came up with not one, but two, well thought out conceptual designs for our project. She was helpful in suggesting contruction & real estate professionals to help us achieve/evaluate our various concerns. We found Laura's artistic bent to be very useful for us, as non-architect consumers, in visualizing her design ideas. A picture is worth 1000 words! While we ultimately chose not to build, we would not have been able to make an informed decision without Laura's assistance. We do have her lovely conceptual drawings should we(or a future buyer) wish to go forward with the major addtion we had been contemplating in the future.”
