Basement Conversion Professionals in Edgewater, MD

“It was a pleasure working with Robert Berry of Three B Architecture on a recent home that I constructed. Mr. Berry was hired by my client to design a waterfront home on a very challenging lot. What impressed me the most was how he was able to maximize the water views from almost every room in the house by designing elevated ceilings with large window openings and indoor spaces that opened to carefully planned outdoor living areas. After working so closely with Mr. Berry, it was apparent that he has a sharp eye for every detail of the building process, from structural elements to the finest finishing details.”

“I have used Design Depictions for multiple projects. They have always been very professional and responsive. Their ideas and engineering practices have been very helpful. I look forward to my next project.”

“Where to begin! Melanie Hartwig-Davis is an extraordinary architect. She has worked on a number of projects for us, including our kitchen, family room/bathroom, and an extensive project where she completely transformed the outside of our house by adding lighted flagstone stairs, custom-designed wrought iron railings and an outdoor deck/entryway that provided us with much needed additional living space. The kitchen she designed for us completely exceeded our expectations. Melanie is one of those rare individuals who is able to think like an engineer and an artist at the same time. It seemed as if she immediately recognized what we needed to do with our space. This required creative interior design ideas to accommodate existing conditions. In addition to serving as our architect, she guided us in selecting colors, lighting, and stylistic features. We had a small space in which to work. She designed a kitchen that was functional, had ample cabinet and counter space, and was visually impressive. We could never have reached such a successful result without her input. One of the aspects we appreciate about Melanie is that she cares. She respects the integrity of the space, the style of the house, and the architecture of the neighborhood. She truly wants her projects to add to the livability of not only her clients but also the community. She is environmental in her choice of materials, and as a result, has impacted all of our additional household decisions. When it came time to replace the siding on our house, we went with a composite siding because we knew that is what she would recommend. We have since moved to a new house and invited Melanie over before our own family. We have a number of projects we hope to complete in the future and we would never use anyone else besides Melanie.”

“Jeff is a gifted architect. His sense of proportion, light and color is outstanding. I love the unique details that have given our home distinctive character and charm. He is incredibly knowledgeable about the local architectural vernacular styles of our area and that informs his work in a soulful way. Jeff was also great with developing a narrative that guided us in our vision and reigned us in when we faced too many choices. Jeff designed our original shingle style home in 1993 which I am happy to say seems timeless in it's clean, open design. He then did the design of our significant remodel of kitchen, family room in 2015.”

“It was my pleasure recently to work with Spire Architecture while building a custom home on the waterfront in Annapolis. My client already had a relationship with Kurt, and asked if I would be comfortable working with him in the design of their custom dream home. After meeting with him, I knew we would work fabulously together. I was certainly not disappointed! His design knowledge and ability to bring the customer's vision to light were second to none. Later through the project, Craig joined the team, and brought with him a keen insight on making a project stand out and shine. I look forward to many more projects with Spire and couldn't recommend them higher to anyone looking for a special hands on design approach that will exceed your expectations.”

“This is a review of the house design that Bill Chesshire did for me in Severna Park, Maryland. His design is unique in that it it a one story with high ceilings so the feel is great spaciousness. The master bedroom is huge with a walk-in closet that has plenty of hanging space for clothes. My main bathroom is completely functional with a walk-in shower with no step down. The floor just flows into the shower area. When guests step in the front door, they get the whole view at once, looking straight back to the huge, high kitchen windows, which also gives a person, a quick glimpse of the beautiful setup of the kitchen even before they get back to that area. I am so enjoying living here.”

“Steve has a great ability to listen to a customer's wants/needs and boil it down to a great looking product! His professional assistance and guidance is excellent throughout the entire building process. I recommend him as part of your project team.”

“The architects at Penza Bailey designed our dream house! They took the time to listen to how we lived and what we were looking for, were sensitive to the land, and stayed within budget. We recommend them most highly!”

“I am an investor in PG County, MD and I encountered an issue with one of my property which needed a permit. I didnt know how to resolve the issue. My lawyer recommended me to call Olivia, I contacted her and she was extremely busy, and told me it will take 3 weeks to resolve my issue. She took her time, worked around the clock and made it happen. After 10 days, less than 3 weeks, WOW, Olivia texted me that she managed to resolve the issue.tm Olivia, you are the best. !!! Thank you very much”

“Tobias built a beautiful screened porch on the back of my house. He designed the porch and did the actual building. His attention to detail and quality was beyond my expectations! He is extremely knowledgeable, flexible, dependable, honest, personable, and does 5* quality work. The city inspector was also extremely complimentary about the quality and fine craftsmanship of his work. I will use Tobias again and I recommend him highly. This porch is not just a porch , it is a beautiful design and a wonderful addition to the house. His taste is exquisite . I only wish he had designed and build the whole house.”
