House Plan Designers in Middleton, MA

“We love our kitchen, bathroom and expanded kids bedroom. Dave and Cory really understood our style and our budget. I loved the communication especially the ever other weekly meeting to discuss questions and progress.”

“I'm happy to give Scott Curtice my strongest positive recommendation. Our project went quite smoothly, staying on schedule thanks to the fact that my office is in the house and Scott's commitment to providing a foreman. This enabled us to make decisions quickly and address problems promptly. Scott and his crew showed a lot of creativity in meeting our requirement to stay in the house during the renovation, to the extent of setting up a temporary kitchen and shower in the basement. In the end, we only had to be out of the house for about a week. He was also very good about coordinating with our architect and the cabinetmaker that we selected ourselves. Having heard a few horror stories of renovation cost overruns, I think we also did well in this respect. Our final figure was about 10% more than the initial estimate due to the kind of unforeseen issues that can be expected on any such project, along with a few changes that we ordered. The level of detail Scott provides in his constantly updated spreadsheet also helped us to make some decisions that reduced our cost.”

“We have worked with Thomas Buckborough and his group for a number of projects since 1995. In each case, whether it was a large remodel or a small repair, he has been attentive, thorough, thoughtful, and a pleasure to work with. His work is beautiful. His commitment to his clients does not end with the completion of the project; he consistently is available for tweaks, repairs, and questions. We recommend him with enthusiasm and without reservation.”

“Jim Buhrer of Refined Renovations offers incredible vision, efficient execution, and an exquisite design sense and attention to detail that is truly beyond compare. After listening to us talk about the many possibilities for our addition, Jim provided us focus and a fabulous concept for our new master bedroom suite. He collaborated with us and an architect to ensure a solid plan, and in a few short months, Jim and his team built the addition over our garage that blends as if it has always been a part of the house. While the entire Refined Renovations team was professional and efficient, it was Jim’s creativity and wonderful design sense that enabled us to realize our dream of a casually sophisticated sanctuary that is simply elegant.”

“Blackdog contractors were the perfect fit for us---they were as interested in giving us exactly what we wanted as we were in getting it. Blackdog builders are not the contractors of those horror stories you hear about; they're the contractors you dream about---RELIABLE, competent, fair-minded, communicative, efficient, and true to their word. Their craftsmanship is unparallelled. They completely demolished/re-designed/re-built our entire kitchen, and we are 100% satisfied. When was the last time you were 100% satisfied? With ANYTHING?”

“We loved working with Amy and Steve! We had a big project that encompassed all aspects of our home. The crew cleaned up after themselves daily. We found them to be very experienced and knowledgeable about options and costs. They were forthcoming about the effect on cost of each decision we made so that there were no surprises come billing time. We recommend them whenever we know of someone doing a big project on their home.”

“We cannot imagine that any group could have done better in renovating our 1862-built home than Gary Streck CRM, Inc. They oversaw a top-to-bottom refitting of a home that was poorly lit, had knob-and-tube wiring, lacked central air conditioning, and had the original Victorian woodwork (which while beautiful showed the ravages of time). They had access to skilled artisans who brought care and imagination to the thousands of puzzles posed by making a house modern but preserving period detail. Bathrooms were remodeled, a state-of-the-art home theater was created, and a whole floor was reconstructed. Gary Streck CRM kept them on the job, on deadline, and within budget. Always professional and always setting the highest standards for any of the jobs performed. Thanks to them, we know that we live in an historic home but remain warm in the winter, cool in the summer, and well lit. The "Old World" level of craftmanship is evident in every room. It was quite an accomplishment for Gary Streck CRM and worthy of the Golden Prism Award for Best Historic Renovation in 2013.”

“Linda was the designer and project manager for the cupola renovation of our Eastlake Stick Victorian house. (http://www.houzz.com/projects/152835). The design exceeded our expectations and we were very pleased with her management of the project. Linda was very receptive to our desires and quickly responsive to any requests and concerns. Where renovations can become quite stressful, Linda created trust and gave us peace of mind. We very much enjoyed working with her and the talent she brought to the project. The cupola is unique and has become the favorite space in our home.”

“Tim and his crew did a total reinvention of our 1700s era cottage, and made it into a cozy little jewel. They added extra square footage, moved walls, dug a basement, and more, and made us a perfect little getaway. Couldn't recommend them more highly.”

“Installed a great new kitchen in our old house. Worked around the quirky antique dimensions. Very good value for the price.”
