“I have know Jared now for over a decade. He has great attention to detail and communication. I have worked with Jared on a couple of projects now and always enjoy his company. If you are looking for a quality designer then Jared is your man.”

“The Boston Harbor House After two years of failed starts with contractors who couldn't understand the difference between colonial and craftsman, I did what I should have done in the beginning - I met with Sheila Swalling, who immediately understood blending historic design elements with modern conveniences. We were working with a small waterfront lot, and the goal was to recreate a stone house of the type you see along the shores of the east coast and Europe. It was also very important to have total privacy from the street while keeping the feel of an inviting cottage. Sheila's floorplan brilliantly accomplishes including everything essential on the first floor. Family spaces upstairs include an office, a library in the open hallway with coffee service for the upstairs bedrooms. The third floor, a kids' sleeping porch, is perhaps the most special room of all with the roof angles, the skylight and dramatic 180 degree water views. Besides the constrained footprint, we were also against a hard deadline for permits. Incredibly, Sheila nailed every detail after meeting with me only three times, and she produced all the drawings (structual, electrical, lighting, drainage) needed to proceed in a very short time. I hugely recommend SwallingWalk to anyone looking for a great architect. You will find that Sheila isn't just an amazing responsive professional, she's also wonderful company on the most personal of projects - your home. HUGE recommend from me!”

“Kevin was highly recommended to us and has a great reputation in the area. We soon found out exactly why he has earned that reputation. Kevin was our guiding light, helping us through our remodel design and construction process, which included adding another story to our lake house. He came up with great ideas for our kitchen remodel and bathroom remodel as well. He was infinitely patient with us as we went through several iterations of the design. He always offered expert advice and was detail-oriented and thorough. His services are very well worth the money if you want a quality home design! Thank you Kevin!”

“I hired Dave Hygard to do a major remodel for me. He completely remodeled the kitchen, including new cabinets, new flooring, new countertops. Both bathrooms were also remodeled including all cabinetry, sinks and hardware. New tile flooring was put into the bathroom with a heating element underneath. All new flooring went through approximately half of my home. Plus he customized storage areas, replaced all interior doors including all closet doors. "Popcorn" was removed from several ceilings. Overall, the job was done professionally, on time, and within budget.”

“Had my kitchen counter tops and back splash redone and they did a fabulous job. It has changed the entire look of my kitchen and was under $1000. I would definitely recommend this company, and will hire them again when needed.”

“Gretchen designed a new bedroom addition & covered front porch for our 1935 bungalow. It all fits in so well, most folks don't realize the room was added. She incorporated all of our requests creatively - including a sunrise window - even tho' the addition faces northwest - a feat that seemed impossible.”

“We have worked with Exodus Engineering on several projects now. Exodus Engineering has proven to be a responsive, competent and professional. They exercise a conservative structural approach without over engineering. Furthermore, they have demonstrated customer service and communication skills that have made them an invaluable and would never hesitate to refer our clients to them. We look forward to our next project with Exodus Engineering.”

“Chris and Michaela are experts at what they do and most importantly, passionate about design. We had them draft a set of plans for our entire house, comprising several projects. The process took a few months because of changes on our side regarding the scope of the projects and what we were trying to do (more than initially anticipated once we got inspired). Chris and Michaela were extremely understanding and always available to chat or meet when we needed them. The final plans that they left us with are, beautiful, functional, very detailed, and included 3D renders as well as product pictures and serial numbers so that we knew where to buy thins like the visualized faucets and light fixtures from as well as the cost of each item. We couldn't be happier and strongly recommend you consider Vital Form Studio for all of your design needs!”

“I purchased a home built in the 1950’s that appeared to not have any interior updates since being built. Meghan helped me transform the house into a beautiful, modern home that reflects my personal style while being mindful of my budget. She gave good guidance when I was having trouble making up my mind and took the time to truly understand my style. Meghan is fun to work with, organized and professional.”

“This professional comes highly recommended by many friends and family members and I look forward to working with him on our first home in the Pacific Northwest and hope to do many other projects with him as we continue to grow our investments in that area.”
