Basement Conversion Professionals in Bliss Corner, MA

“We have worked with Salt Architecture on two projects, and, based on our recommendation, they are designing a new house for friends. Each project is well thought-out and flows together perfectly. They were able to solve issues and create spaces that made perfect sense. Salt Architecture designed functional and fabulous homes for us. Working with them was a complete joy!”

“Michael is a very capable and creative architect. I had the good fortune of acquiring his professional help and contracted with him to expand the first level of our “cape” house in Mattapoisett. We originally thought of modifying a previous family room addition to use as the basis of our new plans. Michael looked into that structure and determined that because of some floor issues and wall cracks that it was not structurally sound enough to use. I had full confidence in Michael’s recommendation; so, although it would cost more to destroy that structure and start over, we agreed. As the first phase started, my contractor ran into a very disturbing issue where the foundation of the initial addition was unstable. Michael was correct in his analysis. Michael is very thorough and meticulous. I highly recommend Michael Silva as your architect.”

“Lisa Carlisle gutted out my old kitchen and designed a new modern kitchen beautiful in design and efficient in function. She also designed a master bathroom and was able to provide a contemporary design and exquisite en suite. Lisa worked with me to incorporate my budget and ideas into her design.She worked closely with my contractor and adapted to changes as they arose. Lisa is competent, professional, timely and a pleasure to work with. I highly recommend her services.”

“Over 30 years ago, early in his career, Sam Sherman worked on the design of the Chilmark home of our best friends. Our friends introduced us to the Vineyard, and were always very happy with the efficiency of their home and the excellent use of light. When we were able to purchase our own home on the island, Sam was our first choice as a designer, given the positive experience our friends had over the years. We purchased a dark, dingy home and did a near tear down of the existing structure. Sam saw what we did not see, that by reorienting the house we came away with incredible light and views. The design plan he provided not only gave us incredible views but the detail enabled the Contractor to bid the job to the penny. We needed a variance from the town to execute the plan and did not want to buy the house until we knew we could make the changes. Sam’s team dealt with the Edgartown planning board very effectively and efficiently to get the job approved in only 4 weeks. Because we are not full time residents of the island, we also had Sam run the contractor selection process and provide construction oversight. We have built a number of homes before but never have we been on budget and on schedule and never before have we been as pleased with the end result. We would recommend Sam and his team to anyone planning to build or remodel on Martha’s Vineyard. Pamela & Bill Craven”

“Excellent response to inquiry about remodeling with suggestions for upgrades and renovations. They were respectful of the project and my ideas and thought carefully about my concerns. Their knowledge of local building codes and the permitting process was extremely helpful and gave me a foundation for making decisions about my project. Budget constraints on my part have been the reason I have not moved forward with the work at this time. However, I will move forward with Integrata should my circumstances change. The quality of their work and their expertise in environmental and energy saving issues is cutting edge!”

“Edward Williams met with us to discuss a full remodel of our kitchen, dining room and den. We discussed our goals and use of the space as well as our budget. With this in mind, he provided us with a floor plan, which we worked to modify until we felt satisfied with the results. He understood how to design the space so that it fit with our current style of home while still providing significant updates and improvements. He provided clear costs for his work and time and was excellent at follow up throughout the project.”

“Tom has an amazing vision for creating spaces and structures that are both striking and really well made. It has been a pleasure to have Tom remodel the house he had built 30 years ago by the sea for us. Tom managed the whole project with class and style and brought so many amazing suggestions to us. I highly recommend Tom and will continue to work with him on future projects.”

“Stephanie Mashek and Ken MacLean were our architects when my husband and I built our home on 30 acres in rural New York. We came to them with pictures cut from magazines and lots of ideas; they transformed them into a beautiful, efficient, and sustainable home. They worked with our contractor throughout the project, and were very responsive to questions.”

“Spencer and his staff are very knowledgeable and experienced. His creative abliliteis far exteeded my expectations. His reputation speaks for itself!”

“Stephen did an outstanding job for our project. Our project was a significant porch tear down and reconstruct/enlargement. Everything was very custom, including layout, roof connection to main structure, footer supports, storage underneath, drainage, electric, materials, etc. Stephen's drawings and materials were perfect and executed within the timeline required by zoning review for permits, etc. He worked really well with our contractor and other local city people that needed specific follow-up clarifications. Stephen made it really easy to make adjustments as appropriate as the project went on. Stephen was very responsive, easy to reach and very professional to work with. I would highly recommend him for any work in his field and will use him on future projects.”
