“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.”

“Sketched up some ideas for our future home and got exactly what we were looking for. The drawings turned out great. Gabe was very easy to work with and supportive of all our ideas and little changes to make this our perfect forever home.. I would highly recommend him.”

“Andrew helped us file for an Alt-2 permit with the NYC DOB. He also helped us with our co-op board package. His services included initial consultation, measurements, architectural drawings, plumbing plan, statement of work being done, filing of permit (with an expeditor), permit pulling, and other certifications required by our board. Andrew was very responsive and flexible. He was able to set up an initial consultation within 24 hours. He came prepared and measured our apartment during the consultation. We executed the contract and the first payment was made shortly thereafter. Andrew has completed all of the work in his scope and has done an amazing job. Even during the renovation process, he went above and beyond his duties and continued checking in. Andrew has provided an A+ experience and we have already recommended him to a couple of friends. He's a class act and will respond very quickly in a professional and polite manner.”

“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.”

“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!”

“We hired Douglas to design a two part remodel for our 1940's farmhouse. Douglas was very responsive to what we wanted, provided lots of great ideas that we didn't think of ourselves, and delivered final designs in a timely fashion. We built the first part of the design last year and our builder was very complimentary of Douglas' designs. I highly recommend!”

“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.”

“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.”

“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!”

“WE LOVE OUR HOME: The idea of designing the perfect house is a daunting task. There are dozens of thought and ideas rolling around in your head that have to be captured and translated into a final plan. On top of this, you don’t get the immediate satisfaction from these design ideas due to the many months it takes to turn them into a physical reality. This is where your Architect comes in. Having this magic ability to translate your dreams into an actionable design and then a physical dwelling is a gift. Darren of Coyote design has this gift. We have lived in our home for over 5 years now and I can honestly say I would NOT change a thing! Noting I was spending a few million dollars on my project, you can probably imagine my tensions were high as we started out with an empty lot and blank slate. Very quickly I could see that Darren got it. In no time the process became fun for my wife and I. We were able to bounce ideas and find pictures similar to samples from this website and Darren would make these ideas reality. Even the “chances” we took turned out to be some of the most satisfying features of our home. The end result was our project came in on time, on budget and most importantly right on the mark. WE LOVE OUR HOME…The Fox Island Haven.... ”
