Architectural Design in Lawrence Township.

“Lasley Brahaney's crew did beautiful work on our new addition. They executed their tasks with skill and professionalism, handling all the details and keeping the stress level as low as possible. The workers were friendly, easy to talk to, and always willing to discuss any aspect of the project. Although our project was not a large one, the owner Marc took personal interest in making sure we were happy with all aspects of the work. We recommend Lasley Brahaney highly, and will definitely use them again if we have future construction projects.”

“We are currently in the inception of a design/remodel project and have signed on with Harth after researching many other alternatives. They are thorough, detail focused, practical yet innovative thus far. We are excited to get underway with them as I believe they are going to exceed expectations.”

“When we bought our 1300 square foot bungalow in 2004, we knew that a renovation was in our future. The house needed major updating and in 2006, we hired Architect Stephen Rhoads to help us with that renovation. We had interviewed another architect, as well as a designer, however, it was clear that Stephen Rhoads was the right architect for us. Stephen is extremely knowledgeable, and creative as well as being friendly. He listened carefully to our wish list, and must haves, took notes, and even drew sketches with some ideas as we spoke. Eventually, Stephen turned our 1960 outdated bungalow, into a 2200 square foot dream home. Our family room with a stone fireplace and plenty of natural light is an addition to the back of the house. Our new kitchen opens to the family room complete with granite countertops, stainless steel appliances and track lighting. Stephen designed a second floor with a Master bedroom with a spa like bathroom, and a studio with natural light. We also wanted a front porch and back deck, and better curb appeal which Stephen accomplished. He also designed a fieldstone patio, a front and back blue stone walkway, and helped us with some drainage issues in the back yard. Stephen Rhoads was able to come up with the perfect design so that we could have it all, and as the project manager, Stephen was on site every day making sure that the builder was doing their best work. We had several upgrades and change orders along the way, and Stephen negotiated with the contractor to get us the best deal possible. He also helped us get great deals on granite counter tops, faucets, lighting fixtures, and everything else that we needed to buy. Stephen is a wonderful problem solver with construction expertise, knowledge, and familiarity with the local building codes and laws. We are very happy with our renovated home, and highly recommend Architect Stephen Rhoads for any upgrading or renovation project.”

“IDEAL CDR has helped us with several major projects in our home, including a deck, a kitchen upgrade, a family room upgrade with a gas fireplace and a shower repair. They are incredible--everyone is extremely professional, friendly and kind. And, most importantly, their work is absolutely top-notch. They are attentive to detail, timely and concerned about doing the best possible job and they hold their subcontractors to the same high level of performance. In addition, they are creative and have terrific suggestions as to how to improve upon basic ideas as to how projects can be carried out. We have received many, many compliments about our family room "makeover" and it is now the focal point of our home. I would heartily recommend working with IDEAL CDR--they are our "go to" contractors!”

“Wilkes Architects and Princeton Design Guild were the perfect combination for my major renovation project. They listened to what I wanted, developed designs that specified all the details, then worked carefully to construct those designs delivering my family a home that we love. I really believe that the process of doing both the design and the construction with one firm resulted in a much better final product, with far less stress and drama than going with 2 different firms.”

“I have worked along side of John on many projects over the past 6 plus years. He is great to work with and very organized. Attention to every detail for the client is very important to John. If you are looking for home remodeling, trust John with your project.”

“Nick and his Dad are the best. They redid our two baths and kitchen. The upstairs bath was a complete tear down. The kitchen/family room was transformed from a 1960's kitchen to granite, stainless, windows, doors, walls, pantries, utility room, etc. They were professional, insightful, knowledgeable and finished our job in a timely fashion. We were living in another state and travelling back and forth and never had a delay or worry. We were in our house by May. He recommended other professionals for painting, insulation, etc. and they also were great to work with. His tile guys were the best. Can only say nice things about this contractor and would highly recommend them for any small or large job.”

“I used MFM several years back to remodel my kitchen. I am a 93 year old woman living in North Plainfield. My old kitchen was original and everything needed to be removed. Marcus and Jonathan were wonderful to work with! They came here every morning with great big smiles on their faces. I had a great time talking to them as they worked here daily. They had other fellows that they used for electric and plumbing that were equally as friendly. My kitchen is my favorite place in the house because I love to bake. When they finished I baked them my special Apple Pie and some cookies. They come back sometimes to say hello and get more cookies. Thank you again for such a great kitchen! Sincerely, Margaret Grace”

“We hired Amiano & Son’s for our kitchen remodel and couldn’t have been happier. We met with other contractors during our planning stage and Amiano stood out from the rest from the very start. We knew from our first meeting with Joe, that we were going to go with him. We gave them ideas of what we were thinking along with our budget. They came back with a better plan and layout than what we had imagined. What we really loved about working with Amiano is that we told them our budget and they made every effort to show us options that would work for us. They didn’t present more expensive/elaborate options to entice us to spend more. They were just as focused as we were to stay on budget which removed any undue stress or disappointments. Amiano’s constant communication, craftsmanship and attention to detail was more than what we could have hoped. I would strongly recommend reaching out to Amiano for your next project.”

“Had an addition put onto my house and everything delivered as promised. Not only that, the addition is better built than the rest of my house. Professional, courteous and reliable. Doesn't get any better than that.”
