Home Renovation & Remodeling in Red Cross.

“The Shank husband-wife team is a dynamic duo when it comes to design expertise and building excellence. After using their skills for a kitchen and master bath remodel in the past, they are teaming up again on our behalf for a downstairs master suite addition. In conjunction with dealing with super-confident subcontractors, their projects are completed in a timely manner. I most appreciate their attention to detail and notifying me if a set appointment with anyone on the project was delayed even 15 minutes later than scheduled. I am amazed at the quality of their work and their ability to give their customers what they want in fresh and innovative ways at a competitive price. I could not more highly recommend Shank Building & Design, Inc.”

“I was building a garage and needed a drawing for the county to approve my building permit. Steve was very helpful and understanding as I was trying to get things updated quickly to get the permit. Steve was able to make all the updates needed quickly and make it look exactly how I wanted for the county to approve the building permit. Very easy to work with, on time and within budget. Steve was fantastic, in fact I am planning on using him again for anther project I hope to put in later this fall or early next year.”

“We highly recommend Houghland Architecture. We used Gray for a two-story addition to our house. Gray's attention to detail is most impressive. He is creative, talented, practical and very easy to work with. Our new rooms blend seamlessly with the old. We would definitely use him again.”

“KDH Residential Designs is a great partner in the success of some of our projects together over many years. Owner Kevin Holdridge listens to clients really well and has the gift of creating the dreams and wants in his designs. KDH is an innovative firm that understands construction process and details. We look forward to many more successful projects together. Respectfully, Michael J. McMillan Sr. MCM - McMillan Construction www.McmillanCM.com”

“Craig did an amazing job designing and overseeing the complete renovation of my home. Not only did he have innovative ideas he also oversaw the execution of those ideas with the contractor. He is an excellent communicator and I would use him again in the future if the opportunity should arise!”

“For a young company they provided a level of service and quality like seasoned professionals. I received my rendering sooner than the promised deadline and it was exactly what I needed for my happy Clients. I will definitely hire them again!”

“We worked closely with Miller Nicholson on our major home renovation. Miller was a great partner from day one until move-in day. He listened to our initial thoughts for our home, and then actualized our ideas even better than we could have imagined. In addition, Miller incorporated so many beautiful architectural details in our indoor and outdoor living spaces. He also did such a wonderful job flooding our home with beautiful, natural light. Miller facilitated our builder/bid process and then continued to work collaboratively with us and our builder until the project was complete. We were in great hands the entire time! We love our new home and are so thankful for Miller's design creativity and structural expertise as well as the passion that he brought to our project. We highly recommend Mcclure Nicholson Montgomery Architects.”

“Roger and his team worked closely with my husband and me to create the home of our dreams. I had a vision for many years and they listened carefuly, made realistic and valuable suggestions, and drew my dream better than I could have dreamed it. The design for our lake waterfront lot was a happy blend of my desire for sleek, modern with the HOAs idea of contemporary. We fit in nicely with the neighborhood, but have sleek linear shapes and smooth textures. We were building on a very difficult lake front lot with extremely steep terrain and natural gulleys that held standing water. Roger and his team worked with engineers to make sure we lived "on the water, not in the water", creating a design that allowed the graders to push the natural running water around the house and down the hill rather than into the house. This gave us the wonderful opportunity to have access bridges rather than sidewalks - a unique and very eye pleasing addition. Throughout the design they kept true to my vision while helping us add the features necessary to age in place. It is a beautiful design and we will live here forever. Roger Layman Architecture made the experience enjoyable and low stress. We would recommend this team to anyone who wants to build heir dream home.”

“My rating is actually 4+, but the system only allows for whole numbers. My wife and I contracted Ray Sheedy in 2004 to help us with the renovation of a 1927 home. We were still living in the Washington, DC area, but needed an architect/designer in the Charlotte area. After being referred to Ray and a brief conversation with him, he was immediately taking measurements and determining the feasibility of some of the things we were considering. We spent about two months collaborating with Ray and finalizing our plans. My wife commented several times about how well Ray listened and we were both impressed with his creative suggestions. The construction took another 6-7 months. During the construction process Ray checked on the progress and was available when things came up and we needed to make adjustments or decisions. Looking back, I should have taken his advice regarding more of the adjustments. He really was acting as our advocate and trying to ensure that the building was done according to the plan. We still live in the house and are really pleased with the design. The design has held up well and we are pleased with our decision to use an architect. We are surprised that so many people do major renovations without getting the professional help of an architect/designer.”

“I'm so glad that I found Gray to help us with the remodel of our shop. Customers love the way it looks and the function of our waiting area. Even after all the drawings and renderings were done he help with all our permit concerns.”
