For one reason or another none of them were a good choice for this project. I went to Manny with a tight budget and even tighter timeline. He came through and the project Was completed on time and inside of the budget.

We had 2 projects done by this duo…read more The first was a renovation of a very small kitchen - to get it to function with modern-sized appliances. Mary (the Ting in the Springer & Ting) did some minor tweaking - walling off a doorway, shifting another - to achieve full functionality within a very tight space. The second - we were having a colonial home built, and wanted a more open floor plan on the first floor, and more equal-sized bedrooms on the 2nd floor. Mary redid the builder's layout completely, placing bathroom and laundry in the interior so that more light would be available for the breakfast area at the corner of the house. The builder (who did not normally like working with architects) was impressed, as the final design was very "buildable" and sensible (from his perspective). We couldn't be happier.

I made sure to have them come by to give me advice on my historic home when they came through Dallas that winter. I didn't hire them to do a major renovation like most of their clients do, but I was very happy with the consultation we had about my house. Todd is thoughtful and deliberate, like a sweet knowledgeable grandfather, and Mary is intelligent and energetic. She even had some brilliant tips for my garden. They seem to genuinely care and had a lot of experience from much older homes up North to draw from. Their perspective made me excited and confident about the changes I'll be making to my historic home in the next couple years.

I found Tim Lener Architect during a search for local architects while contemplating an addition on…read moremy house. His work fit with the style of our house. We needed an extra bedroom and were thinking of relocating the laundry room from the basement. Tim came to our house listened to what we said and quickly put together an addition that ticked all the boxes and matched the style of our 1927 hip roof colonial. Now when I have people over and they ask about the addition I have to show them what's new. The addition fits so well with the rest of the house it's hard to tell new from old. Tim's price was reasonable, everything was as expected and during construction when we had a few questions(and changes, which architects notoriously hate) he came right over and did the extra work in a timely fashion, for a nominal fee.

They did a massive add-on and renovation to my home. Eric Abraham was my point person for the…read moreproject. Eric did EVERYTHING, from picking out fixtures and moldings with my wife, to working hands out with subcontrators and city officials. Eric is totally honest and transparent. In some cases he would talk us out of an expensive option for one thing or another, telling us it was something that wouldn't have added much value to our house, and we really wouldn't get as much benefit as we thought we would. And in only two cases did the opposite thing happen, and I just WISH we had listened to Eric; We put a nice island in the middle of our kitchen, but the design didn't call for a sink. Eric respectfully recommended we add one; he said it WOULD add to the value of the house, buyers would expect to see it when we sold the house, and we would end up using it. And he said it'd be worth it. He didn't harp on it though. We declined to add the sink. And we've always regretted it since. He was right. Same goes for the bathtub in our master bedroom, where Eric once again respectfully recommended that we add jacuzzi jets, again for the same set of reasons that we should have added the sink the the kitchen island. Again, he didn't harp on it. Well, we declined again, and of course he had been right, again, and of course we've always regretted it since. All of that said, our renovation was a SMASHING success. Comstock's work was AMAZING. And not only that, but they said it would be take six months, and sure enough, it was SIX MONTHS. And they had every excuse for it to take longer, because during excavation they found the remains of an old oil tank. Of course no one knew this has been there, and it had to be properly remediated, etc. It's the kind of thing you dread, that you worry could add thousands upon thousands to the price of your job, and potentially take weeks, of not months to deal with. Nope. Comstock knew exactly who to call, and how best to deal with it. And it cost a small fraction of what I feared it might cost. My home has huge curb appeal now. The neighbors three houses down loved the work being done, and got to know Eric during the renovation. And they ended up using Comstock for their renovation, which was a job twice the size of mine! And their house looks awesome. I couldn't offer a better recommendation !!!
