“Courtney was very courteous, knowledgeable, and patient. She continues to answer all of my questions and has walked me through the design and build process step by step.”

“My husband and I are absolutely thrilled with the work performed by John Patrick. He went above and beyond to ensure that our vision and goals were captured in the final design. We know that when we finally move into our renovated home, we will enjoy it that much more because we worked with John. We bought a1930s colonial - our first home - and while we knew that something needed to be done to it, we couldn't figure out exactly what. John Patrick is a highly trained and skilled designer, who helped us realize ideas about our space that we didn't see before. Not only did he come up with beautiful and practical solutions to the problems we saw in the home, he willingly worked within the existing constraints of the space, i.e., the location of plumbing, load-bearing walls, etc. We held frequent check-points during our design phase. During each one, John Patrick was thoughtful and professional. We never felt embarrassed or uncomfortable bringing our ideas to the table. He was always very tactful in explaining which ideas made sense and which could be reconsidered in order to maximize space and functionality. We wanted to work with an architect who would share his professional expertise, and not simply sketch whatever we asked him to. John is definitely that architect. And yet, when there were personal elements that my husband and I were unwilling to bend on - no matter how impractical - John found a way to make them work. After each check-point, John created great drawings that helped us visualize the space. These were invaluable for two business professionals trying to make design choices with no design experience. Once our designs were final, John even produced renderings that helped us select fixtures and furniture to fit in our space. These renderings alone have received glowing compliments from all our friends and colleagues. The renderings were also very impressive to our contractor, who is overseeing the construction of our home, as were the construction documents that John produced. The construction documents helped us during the bid phase, when we were trying to select a contractor, and have served as the “source of truth” during the construction phase. We absolutely recommend working with John Patrick Cunningham. You will be happy you did!”

“We hired Primiano Architecture to design an addition for our house. We had no experience dealing with an architect or doing a home improvement project of this magnitude. Primiano Architecture was recommended to us by an acquaintance. From our first meeting with Joe we knew he was the right person. He was honest, intelligent and most importantly he listened and made suggestions. It was a true partnership. Joe worked closely with us throughout design, township approval, choosing a contractor and final approval. We could not be any happier with how the project turned out. I would give Primiano Architecture 4 out 4 stars and would recommend him highly to anyone looking for an architect.”

“Taneja Architecture & Design is an excellent service, precise and attentive to detail and to the client's wishes, tempered by a fine aesthetic sense and understanding of context. I'm confident you'll be happy you chose Taneja Architecture.”

“The Design Build Pros helped me visualize my new kitchen before it was built. Their budget paperwork allowed me to prepare for all the costs for the project and they helped me find a great remodeler. I will call them to help me with my next project.”

“Very knowledge and creative firm who designs beautiful homes for our clients. We have worked with them for many years always with great results. Would recommend them highly.”

“We have had the pleasure of knowing Greg Porraro for over 20 years. He has built two homes for us and most recently, has rebuilt our home at the Jersey shore after it was devastated by Hurricane Sandy in the Fall of 2012. During one of the most stressful times of our lives, within two days of the storm, Greg had a crew of 29 workers attacking our home. There was a massive clean-up effort needed as well as reinforcing badly damaged walls and support columns. Greg put our mind at ease and totally took charge of the project. Within a few short weeks, we had a plan as to how we were going to put our home back together and have it ready for the following summer season. Greg coordinated every aspect of the project and took care of our home as if it were his own. He suggested many improvements to the original structure that will protect us further should another storm come our way. We are very happy to say that we took possession of our home again by the end of May 2013-just 7 short months after it was ripped apart by the storm. It is an absolute pleasure doing business with someone that you can trust 100%. We knew, every step of the way that Greg had our best interest at heart. Thanks for helping us through this excruciatingly difficult period, Greg. J&J Bay Head, NJ”

“Verity Frizzell has worked for us on numerous occasions, and has continued to go above and beyond expectations. She was extremely helpful and cooperative throughout the process, including the sometimes difficult township requirements. Verity stayed aware and concerned about each of the projects for which we hired her. Her professionalism and expertise are exceptional. She was an excellent hire.”

“We hired Lynn and her firm to design our urban roof deck based on other work she had done in our building. Her design sensibility is, in a word, extraordinary. Equally important from my point of view as a client is her natural ability to work collaboratively which allowed the design and the design process to evolve organically in ways that created the best possible end result. And our end result wasn't some watered down bland compromise, quite the opposite it had both concept and creature comforts, point of view and functionality, all balanced in a way that literally created what I can only describe as a living sculpture. It would be hyperbole if it wasn't true. Everyday I go up to our deck, and it makes me happy. Soaring Ipe wood, , warm and natural, curving and slatted with ribbons of sunlight pouring through makes me feel I'm in a forest-like cocoon inside the urban jungle of NYC. It was even designed to keep our cats inside it and safe, so all four of us use it as our country home in the sky. We couldn't be happier with Lynn and her associates who guided us so thoughtfully and kindly through the intricacies of a complex project made more so by sometimes Byzantine urban housing rules. Her ability to navigate through those complexities made what could have been a difficult part of the process seem in retrospect, quite simple. She was respectful of our budget and was always tracking our expenses with our contractor to make sure we stayed on our budget while giving us clear choices to help us make the best decisions. With Lynn's firm you get substance, concept and function, focus and collaboration, point of view with room for yours, and the skills needed to work with urban general contractors, expeditors and the Dept. of Housing. Perhaps most importantly, you get someone who really cares about the project and the clients. It is from that very caring sensibility that all great things flow. I'd hire her again in a heartbeat. Brava Lynn!”

“I had a great experience working with Michelle. She was thoughtful, precise, and willing to explore a number of different ideas until we found the right solution for a very small space.”
