Custom Build Home Professionals in Lincoln, VA

“This team did an excellent job with our renovation plans. The finished space exceeds our expectations and adds value to our home!”

“I engaged Ashish of “RARA Designz” as designer for home improvement for small area extension in one corner to build prayer/Pooja room. Prior to his site visit, I had a plan in my mind to extend the area in both levels, ground and upper floors. His guidance and recommendation in the very first interaction, using the cost versus usable benefit approach, helped me to decide to go with only ground level improvement. This simple decision had a huge positive impact on right scoping of the project. During the course of detailing of drawings, his providing the drawings as options analysis helped me make choices for specific situations. He provided service in a timely manner, setting the expectations upfront. He provided statement of work, and transparent pricing based on expected hours of work. Overall, I am happy and satisfied to have contracted “RARA Designz” for home improvement design service.”

“Tom Flach, our architect at Kohlmark, 100% understood what we wanted in our new home. But he didn’t stop there, he made the plans better than we even knew were possible. Tom was always available to answer our questions and to help us with any decisions or issues that arose. His skill, his vision, his guidance, and integrity made this experience a lot easier for us.”

“Great company! That do wonderful work! Used them on a number of projects and over the last 16 years. Always happy. Love Al Barney as well. Extremely personable.”

“Scott was incredibly helpful, he explained a lot to me and gave me advice even after he knew I was not going to use him as an architect, he still took the time to make sure I was on the right track and told me things to ask the architect I was using instead to make sure my project was done right. The only reason I did not go with him was because the architect I originally got a quote from was less expensive because I was tweaking a design they had already created, versus starting from scratch. Otherwise I would have chosen Scott. He is a good person, very helpful and seems like an incredibly knowledgeable architect. I would recommend him for sure.”

“Clites Architects designed a multi-story garage to be added to my 30 year old home. Impeccable attention to detail allowed this addition to my property to be fully integrated into the existing environment. The landscaping was barely finished when friends commented that it appears as though it was part of the original home.”

“Thoughtful designer who listens to clients, rather than following artistic ego. A pleasure to work with.”

“Working with Will was an absolute pleasure. Will is a true professional who knows how to balance the technical / permitting / construction aspects with the needs of the client. We were very happy with Will's work and would recommend him to anyone wholeheartedly. Our project came out beautifully, on budget and the complements keep coming. Thank you so much, we could not be happier.”

“Excellent people to work with. They have the client's interest in mind when they are designing. We are thrilled with the results. People come up to us who live in the neighborhood and tell us that they love what we did with the addition to our home. They were able to bring a modern touch to a house built in the 1930's.”

“Mona is an outstanding designer. My husband and I hired Mona of Marshall Design Group to design our custom-built home several years ago. Mona is an excellent listener and was able to provide a design and material selection that satisfied both me and my husband (no easy feat). Mona also worked diligently with our builder to ensure that our home was built to spec and code. As issues arose, as they often do with these types of projects, Mona was able to able to expertly help resolve these while preserving the integrity of her design.”
