Architectural Design in Baltimore.

“We hired Timberlake to do an extensive renovation of our home in 2009. They were a pleasure to work with during every step of the process. Dave Lunden was honest, very reliable and extremely organized. The project was finished on time and on budget. It progressed exactly as he said that it would with no hidden costs or delays. The Project Manager and all of the subcontractors were a pleasure to deal with on a daily basis. They shared in our enthusiasm, were polite, highly skilled, hard working and responsive. I have spoken with several people who have had extensive renovations done to their home and frequently it was a stressful and unpleasant experience for them. I can honestly say that our experience with Timberlake was the opposite. Since the renovation I have contacted them several times for questions about materials or warranties and they have always responded to my requests immediately. If we were ever to renovate another home we would definitely use Timberlake.”

“Working with Nehemiah Construction was an amazing experience. The owner was professional, active throughout the whole project and easy to communicate with. He was especially helpful in helping me choose a hardwood floor. The way he helped me understand what was best was an art form. He wasn’t pushy, just knowledgeable. I get so many complements on my hardwood floors to this day.”

“Charleene gutted and re-did our 2500 sq. ft. Baltimore rowhome. She created an amazing contemporary space for our family within 6 months. Her first design was spot on and that told us she was right for the job. We highly recommend her for home rehab. She is truly the best there is in the area.”

“Spectrum has done a full bathroom and basement renovation for us, in addition to several smaller projects including replacing all the exterior doors to the house and refinishing our front porch. The quality of the work is excellent. Communicating for the purpose of planning and providing feedback is easy due to their rapid response and liberal use of email and cell contact. They responded well to feedback regarding the work site when we had complaints about dust and so forth. The quality of their work holds up; our bathroom completed in 2008 continues to be in terrific condition. They were described by the person who referred them, an architect, very accurately. "They're not the cheapest, but they're the best." I highly recommend them.”

“My husband and I had debated for several months if we should move to a larger space, or renovate our current home for our expanding family. I had brought this up with Rick Byrd, the owner of Byrd Design and Build (BDB), and he immediately came to our house to talk with us through all of our options. He walked through our house and really gave us some amazing plans to make the space we already had more usable and more modern and up to date. This was the perfect option for us, considering we were expecting our first child. He laid out all of the different renovation plans we could have and really helped us envision a space catered to our wants and needs. My husband works from home, so we thought it was going to be a difficult journey to do an almost complete gut job of our basement and first floor kitchen/bedroom/bath, but BDB did an amazing job accommodating him and being cautious of the space we weren’t renovating. During the construction process, all of the subcontractors of BDB were extremely nice, non-invasive and very courteous of everything in the house. Darren, the project manager, was always attentive and mindful of our timeline, which was shortened due to the arrival of our new baby. We have the perfect new nursery, brand new kitchen and bathroom, and an entirely finished basement all just in time for our son. Everything was completed in a timely fashion and in pristine condition. We are obsessed with our basically “new” house!”

“Rich and his team did a great job. Super easy to work with, and always responsive to any and all questions.”

“We selected Tabor Design after reading an article in the Post on the benefit of using a design build firm for a home renovation project. Initially we were hesitent to spend money "only" for design services. But - that time and money helped us refine our ideas and when Tabor priced the project there were no suprises or changes. Most impressive to me and my wife was the project schedule and John's teams precision to keeping it. The entire project was 5 weeks - with maybe a one day lag due to weather. Friends, neighbors, relatives are incredulous that an kitchen bump out with full remodel only took 5 weeks and there were no delays. I can attest that what tabor designs, prices, and schedules will be met to the penny and to the day.”

“TLC did a fantastic job on our new house. First, the house is in great shape. The construction is very solid and workmanship is great. TLC worked with us after the sale to make sure everything was as we wanted and that we were happy with our purchase (we are!) They were able to keep the old charm of our historic rowhouse while building in contemporary touches and giving the house a unique character. Thank you!”

“TailorCraft has impressed us with their professionalism, quality and reasonable pricing over and over. We are on our second project with them, Rick and Aaron are knowledgable and responsive, and their crew is terrific. Our first project involved a floor to roof remodel of an old beach cottage, there were many unknowns when we started and lots of choices to be made along the way. TailorCraft consistently took the high road and helped us figure out how to make good choices, our home will easily last for another 75 years. I have worked with many contractors before, and there is often a moment where a lazy choice or a go cheap choice is made, that never happened with TailorCraft. The subs they used were also terrific, and we will use them again for general maintenance as needed. Our first job was finished on time and our current job looks like it will be too. Costs were reasonable and well explained, their online system for communication keeps all the details in one place and they always return phone calls. Thank you TailorCraft!”

“John Lehman has a long-standing reputation for providing an exceptional experience for his clients from the early design phase through the completion of the home. In 2012, DeSantana Stone Company had the pleasure of working with John on a house that he designed in Ellicott City, Maryland. Our company has built a friendly working relationship with John and we look forward to working with him in the future.”
