“Jim is a fabulous architect who is attentive to details with a great eye for scale and proportion. he can make ordinary become extraordinary. i recommend him.”

“You will not find a more professional, reliable and easy to work with architect. We have been working with several vendors on a big basement project for the last 6 months and Daniel is in a league of his own. Responds promptly to phone calls and emails and really knows his stuff. I would recommend him in a heartbeat!”

“My husband and I bought a house with some problems that we didn’t realize were there, the biggest of which was an unpermitted finished basement. When we decided to renovate, we asked Ryan to come in and help us design a space which would both work for us and bring the house up to code. We did not make a mistake with that choice. Ryan came in and took a few measurements, then spent time talking to us about what we wanted in our basement. We had some vague ideas (a laundry area for me, an office space for my husband, and some storage). Ryan took our simple thoughts and turned them into a plan for an amazing basement. He found ways to maximize the light and storage space in our basement that we never thought possible. He gave us everything we asked for and more with those designs. It didn’t stop there, though. Ryan continued to help us navigate the insanely complicated permitting process with our local authorities. He handled all the paperwork for us, picking up forms and dropping off checks at the town. He was here for inspections to help us with the inspector. He worked with us, our contractor, and the town to help resolve the additional unpermitted work that was found in our house during those inspections. He made sure we got the safe, up to code, legal (permitted) house we wanted and reduced our stress level during the whole thing. He was a godsend! I don’t think we could have made it through that work without him. If we ever decide to do more work on our house, he is most definitely our first phone call.”

“I had the pleasure of working with Steven Affelt on a New Green build in Islip ,Long Island. Steven was the project manager for the team. The professionalism, experience and communication with Steven was second to none. He managed our clients expectations, gave guidance to the GC. Stevens greatest talent was his willingness to problems solve with the team. I recommend Steven to any company, private client or builder to help assist in any project.Steven manages the key players, trades and clients expectations, budget and timeframe. His skills are a vital component to a successful project.”

“We worked with Alex for approx. 2 years on our project which was just completed in July 2013. We own an 1875 Carriage House that we were looking to update, renovate and expand to modern specifications. From start to finish I felt like our dream project was in good hands. We basically tore down 75% of the original structure, renovated the remaining 25% and expanded up adding a lot of second floor living space. We found it a pleasure to work with Alex and our builder found the same thing to be true. We would recommend ADL III highly. This project totaled approx. $600,000.”

“Bob was excellent to work with. He came up with a beautiful design for what we wanted. Still waiting on permits for this renovation to begin but will post pictures when done. We will definitely recommend him and would want him working with us on our next project.”

“The design is exceptional and fulfills all our family needs. Very well placed openings give much light to the interior and great visibility to the exterior. Good solid construction. Very satisfying.”

“Dan Hawes was the best! Extremely personable yet very professional. He was very attentive to what we wanted. Provided excellent design ideas and took our ever changing minds in stride. He gave us everything we wanted and more. He met with us more times than I can count to make sure everything was the way we wanted it. He also came to our house during the actual project to make sure everything was being done the way we wanted. He made trips to the town to help expedite the permit process and met with the town engineer to clarify any issues they had. I would highly recommend Dan Hawes for any and all architectural projects. I have all ready referred him to my friends and clients and I will continue to do so.”

“Vintage Interior Design helped design the entire first floor of my new home and did an excellent job. Great ideas were provided an executed to perfection. Thanks for your service.”

“My partner and I are very pleased with the work performed by Fiorella Shalat and Shalat Architects. Working within a limited Manhattan space they managed very nicely to give our gourmet pizzeria both form and a highly functional floor plan. The kitchen was particularly well proportioned. And, of no lesser importance, they accomplished everything on time and below budget. I highly recommend them.”
