We used Jonathan as the architect for a redesign of our kitchen in Arlington. His work was very…read moreprofessional. He gave us multiple design options and had a nice toolset to be able to render them visually for us. He (and the partner firm, PorterBuild) was very involved in helping us access vendors and make design choices. And he supported us during the actual build - very hands on. Things got done when they were supposed to be done, and we understood costs for all the activity (although we ended up overbudget, that was out fault - we liked some fancy things and used the exercise to fix a bunch of other things at the house). His subcontractors were really professional as well. I'd recommend him for project work wholeheartedly..

Colin came out and did a residential drawing for my wife and I on a house we were selling. Our plan…read moreis to rebuild it in a few years and we wanted to have the architectural drawings on hand to fall back on when the time was right. He was very responsive and ended up completing the project well ahead of schedule. He gave us a digital copy of everything we needed and it came out great. I actually printed it out and had it framed, it looks like artwork on the wall of our new place and we have a cool story to tell people when they ask about it. I'm a real estate agent and work with architects pretty frequently. I was looking for a new firm to work with and I firmly believe it's always best to try the services out myself before recommending them to clients. That being said, I would definitely use them again and I will be referring them to others going forward!

Warning: If you ask for a quote through Yelp, you will be incredibly disappointed/shocked/angry. I…read morelearned the incredible hard way that Yelp is tied to ChemDrys corporate office, not this location directly. Therefore my quote for work was about 1/2 of what it ended up costing me and that was with a 20% discount for having the house empty. They operate on a $0.54 per sqft price (as of 8/23/19) not on a $60.00 per room price that Yelp quotes you back. 2 sets of stairs ran me $96.00. They are very thorough and laser measure every sqft to get you the accurate total. Do yourself a favor and call this place direct and have a good ballpark of your needed sqft of cleaning. Overall, after I let the frustration of having a bill twice as large as I expected, they did a good job. They only ran a 1 person crew which, when I have used other companies they had multiple people tackle the job. 1500 sqft took about 3 hours to complete.

I am very impressed with their customer service. I recently hired Colonial to clean a sectional…read morethat had some stains because kids... The first technician was very thorough but after he left and the couch dried, some of the stains reappeared. The company immediately called me to get feedback and after hearing that I was not satisfied, they offered to have someone come back immediately to re-clean the couch at no additional cost. The second technician was just as thorough and explained that the particular stain I was concerned about may not come out because it was a water based stain and had set for so long. However, after the couch dried this time, the stain was completely gone. When the company says satisfaction guaranteed, they truly mean it. I found them to be very prompt, professional and skilled. Would definitely recommend.

Then, she had the engineering done and drew up plans for our contractor to follow. Kecia came up with a great plan that was thoughtful and thorough.

The contractor was able to give a better bid and there were fewer disputes about the scope of the project. I have already recommended Kecia to friends and highly recommend her here, too.

Tim and his team have worked with us on three completed residential projects at our home. We are…read morenow preparing to start a fourth phase, which we hope will complete the upgrade of our nearly 60 year old Cape. The first project was a street facing dormer that reshaped the look of the house from the exterior, while providing where before there had been a gloomy restrictive hall, expansive new well lit space inside. Interior finishes included high density foam insulation, replacing all old style wood trim with new bold trim, a long window seat, and custom shelves, cabinets and a built in desk. With the contractors still on site, a design in hand, we started the second project, while halfway through the first. This project was to upgrade the original 1966 upstairs bathroom, and replaced it with a 3 room segmented space that had separate shower/bath, toilet, and 2 sink washroom. We have 4 bedrooms on the second floor. With Tim we created the perfect 4 person bathroom, where all 4 could, if necessary, simultaneously have privacy, while sharing the same space. Tim designed the cabinetry for both the 8' vanity, and shower/tub room. Tile selections, combined with careful LED placement, gave us a bright usable space. When the second floor dormer and bathroom were complete, we moved from our downstairs Master bedroom to one of the upstairs bedrooms to make way for the third project, which was intended to provide a first floor master suite where we could eventually gracefully age in place. Tim's design gutted the left side of our house, removing the master bedroom, a guest room, powder room and small classic 1960's master bath consisting of a shower, toilet and single sink. He extended, with a full basement under, the back of the house 8' for the length of the master bedroom and master bath. The finished product comprised an expanded entry hall, relocated formal powder room, and entry coat closet, an expanded Master Bedroom with a large walk in closet, and a Master bath unit that included a closeted laundry, 8' counter with 2 sinks, linen closet, and a wet room that allowed ample space for a shower that had both a wall head and ceiling rain shower, plus a full size bath tub. Exterior walls and ceilings were insulated with closed cell foam that provides the most remarkable heat and A/C retention. As with the upstairs Tim paid particular attention to the finish details, being uncompromising and bold with the door design, windows, molding, trim, as well as adding crown molding. Doors were sized to allow wheelchair access, if we were to ever need it, bathroom fixtures while beautiful, were also selected to ensure they would be as relevant today, as they might need to be in 20 years. We completed these projects last spring, and love the finished work, with us particularly enjoying the space, comfort, and grandeur of our bedroom and bathroom. These projects were part of a master plan we had initially worked on with Tim, with the final stage of the master plan to bump out our constricted family room and kitchen, plus remove a small three season converted breezeway between the garage and house, replacing it with a two story space that will combine Tim's bold style with our desire for a functional kitchen, and more importantly a warm welcoming home.
