### Reviews

**★★★★★ — Lu Ann Reeb, April 2023**

> David is the reason we have our major house renovation just the way we imagined it. When our plan was stalled during the pandemic, David worked with us to make changes in the design twice! He was so great, listening to what we wanted, then he magically made it all work! We strongly recommend you choose David as your architect!

**★★★★★ — Mary Ryan, April 2023**

> David was an excellent architect. He was very responsive to my ideas and always made any changes/revisions in a timely manner. He was very helpful with his ideas and knowledge and I appreciated his many home visits. I also really valued his assistant who came with me to all design appointments and helped with design ideas and suggestions.
> All in all, I'm very pleased.
> Thank you again,
> Mary Ryan

**★★★★★ — mary landrigan, April 2023**

> David Sharff has designed several upgrades for my moms 100 year old over the past few years.  He with his staff and his recommended contractor performed miracles on the house. They made a usable, modern bathroom and shower out of the tiny, 5x8 family bathroom.David designed plans for both a significant addition to the house, a new bath and laundry room combination and the renewal of the old wraparound porch. He has an impeccable work ethic, was attentive to our needs, and is extremely patient. My husband and I both highly recommend David Scharff.

**★★★★★ — jformanlam, Feb. 2022**

> We worked with David for a recent kitchen renovation that involved opening up our dining room (taking a wall down), opening up our stairs, adding a pantry and re-doing a powder room. He was very thoughtful every step of the way, incorporating our specific requests into the design and helping to create a space that would work well for our young family. David had creative ideas. He was always prompt to respond to questions or concerns that came up during the project. He was even able to help with interior design, including paint color selections, wallpaper and fixtures. Working with David really streamlined a seemingly daunting project. We are thrilled with the final outcome!

**★★★★★ — Lindsey & Kevin Greener, Feb. 2022**

> David did an excellent job bringing our dream/ vision to life.  He listened to our wants and needs and worked collectively with us to create a beautiful house we can now call home!  With his guidance, we were able to maintain the aspect and consistency of the existing neighborhood and incorporate historical character into our new home.  David was able to meet our pressing timelines and delivered with architectural  prints  that translated effortlessly to our contractors, allowing the building process to run smoothly.  We are very grateful for David’s hard work and attention to detail!

**★★★★★ — brooslin, June 2018**

> I am so grateful to have had David and Jill working on my house renovation and can’t recommend them enough.  David was patient with us as listened to what we wanted and designed several (all creative!) well-thought-out plans for our entire first floor and basement/Office renovation.  He has a great working relationship with the talented GCs he recommends and will oversee the project from start to finish.  He designs beautiful spaces and homes.  Jill was invaluable to me during what could have been a daunting and overwhelming process.  She is a talented designer with an excellent eye and I relied on her expertise and vision during all aspects of this renovation - the choosing of appliances, cabinets, counters, flooring, tile, hardware, lighting, landscaping, paint....... the list goes on.  Jill will work closely with your GC, keep everything moving on schedule, direct you to wonderful, first-rate vendors and make certain that the work is of top quality.  Thank you Jill and David!

**★★★★★ — Erin Keysor, Jan. 2018**

> David and Jill were great to work with.  I can't tell you the number of compliments we get on the design of our addition.  Jill's help with making decisions and working with vendors was invaluable!

**★★★★★ — Shanna Buechler, June 2017**

> David and Jill are a pleasure to work with.  They make every project unique and special.  There is a never a dull moment with them.  I enjoy the process of working together every chance I get.

**★★★★★ — Jennifer Gray, Oct. 2016**

> David and Jill were amazing to work with during our complete house renovations.  David understood our scope and vision.  We were extremely happy with his ideas and ability to fit in all our must haves.
>
> Jill was a life saver, she spent hours with me picking out counters, appliances and fixtures.  She worked with vendors to coordinate deliveries with our contractor.  Jill really goes above and beyond and is an extraordinary person.
>
> I recommend David Sharff Architect and would absolutely use them again.

**★★★★★ — Joseph DiMare, Oct. 2016**

> David Sharff Architect provides ultimate experience with design and professionalism.  We enjoy working with them on all of their projects.

**★★★★★ — Celine Sellam, Aug. 2016**

> David and Jill were great to work with. They were available and responsive when anything unexpected came up during the project. Jill was very helpful in selecting many  finishes and provided a lot of guidance throughout the renovation process. I was very satisfied with their services.

**★★★★★ — Good Life New England, May 2016**

> David and Jill are simply amazing to work with!  They listen and inspire….They lead and collaborate…. They communicate and execute.  All these attributes, combine with their incredible talents to ensure the process is as rewarding for their clients as the beautiful results they’ll enjoy for years to come.
