Architects in Reading, PA

“We are writing to wholeheartedly recommend Timothy (Tim) Strosser of Studio 810 Design as a designer and general contractor for home improvement. In 2012, we met Tim at the Philadelphia Home Show, and were impressed by Tim’s portfolio of previous designs and building projects. On his first visit to our home in the Philadelphia suburbs Tim impressed us again with his instant understanding of our home improvement needs. We wanted to build a new bathroom in a little-used space that was attached to our master bedroom, but Tim suggested a much better solution; building an addition to the house’s second floor, and placing the bathroom in it. This way we got a fabulously looking new master bathroom that is an envy of our friends and neighbors, and avoided a mistake of building a bathroom that would be to small and not convenient. Timothy also designed and built for us a mudroom in front of our house, completely redesigned and rebuilt our patio, and changed the siding all around the house. We are very satisfied with the quality of his design and workmanship of his crew. Tim is a very experienced project manager, and he worked hard to accommodate our specific requirements during the project and to adjust all the logistics accordingly. He was able to keep the project deadlines despite very unfavorable weather conditions, the climax of which was Hurricane Sandy. During the project we occasionally changed our mind regarding some details (e.g., selection of tiles), and Tim was always ready to either accept our new ideas or, when they were not practical, offer very good alternatives. During the project we developed a trusting, friendly relationship with Timothy and many of his crew members. We were so satisfied with our collaboration with Tim that, after the first big project was completed, we tasked him with a couple of smaller projects in our house (e.g., staircase renovation), and outside (landscaping). We are sure that, with his great artistic taste, his extensive technical experience, and his understanding of individual clients’ characters and preferences, Timothy can exceed expectations of the most demanding clients. We already recommended the services of Studio 810 to our neighbors, and we recommend them to you.”

“Stephen Foley was our architect for our 2013 remodel of our Mahoney cape in Bryn Mawr. My wife and I are still in awe of the master suite Stephen was able to design from a basic attic space using only a few perfectly-placed dormers on the existing roof line. We gave Stephen a long list of wants for this suite (i.e. lots of closet space, laundry room, large stall shower, tub, separate his and hers vanities and private toilet room). He got it all in in a fashion that not only feels spacious and comfortable, but that allows for the dormers on the front of the house to add symmetry and aesthetic appeal . At one point, my wife and I wanted to go back to the drawing-board due to ceiling height concerns but Stephen pushed us to go with his original design. We are glad we trusted him and his advice because the finished product exceeds our expectations. He also did a great job with a kitchen redesign, open foyer and space reconfiguration on the first floor of our house. He was also ready, willing and able to help us with selections and other design choices. Stephen was recommended to us by our builder, Ranieri and Kerns, and was also the lowest-price provider of the other architect firms we met with, so a win-win. We highly recommend him, thanks Stephen.”

“Contacted Joshua about a home project and while architecture work was not necessary, instead of telling me he just couldn't help me, he spent a good amount of time over the phone providing recommendations for the type of companies that may be able to assist. As a result, when the need arises for work that Joshua may be able to assist with, I will certainly be contacting him in the future.”

“My husband and I are very happy we chose Stoltzfus Drafting and Design. After our initial meeting, we received a very detailed proposal for our kitchen remodel. There were no hidden costs. He assigned a project website that allowed us to provide input, upload product changes and document all elements of the renovation. We found Mel to be very flexible and accommodating throughout the process. He made absolutely sure that we were pleased with every aspect of the project. We did a lot of research on our product selections, and even made several changes which he did not mind. During the renovation Mel was on the job inspecting the work being done and assisting at times. He also met with us throughout the renovation to ensure that we were abreast of their progress with respect to the established timeline. We are very pleased with our renovation and recommend Stoltzfus Drafting and Design very highly.”

“After purchasing an historic home in Lititz, PA, we needed detailed renovation plans. We chose Quality Design based on their ability to understand our vision for the home and the experience they have in design and construction. We are extremely satisfied with their professionalism, comprehensive evaluation of the structure and the detailed plans provided to us for renovation. We recommend them to anyone who needs a structural plan to transform a vision to construction. Addy and Jeffry L. Jones, MD, MHA”

“I found this company through the internet, even though we are in different states he was able to help me out with an architectural problem, I have used him three times now and he has supplied drawings and engineer stamps in a timely matter that I could not get in my own state, I will continue to use Larry's Home Design any chance I can.”

“We loved the traditional "Salt Box" style house we had in Maine. When we moved to Pennsylvania, we engaged MSL Associates to design our new house with the same timeless charm, but to incorporate a more contemporary free-flowing open floor plan, and a master suite on the first floor. After 20 years, we are still happy with the design and liveablity of a "new house".”
