Not only were they attentive to the smallest details of our remodeling project, but they truly listened and understood what we were trying to create. Wanting to integrate nature with our home in a nontraditional style, they took our ideas and created our dream home. We could not be happier with them through each stage of the process. **★★★★★ — Margaret Santana, Sept. 2016** > We used Rosen Kelly Conway for a major renovation of our 1929 Tudor and we couldn't have been happier with our experience. David Rosen and his team were thorough, knowledgeable, and patient throughout the process and even beyond. They helped us select the best contractor and were with us every step of the way as the project unfolded and decisions came up. Their plans were detailed and required less rework and easier relationship with the contractor. We continue our relationship with this firm as we consider additional upgrades to our home. **★★★★★ — Kathleen McLane, Aug. 2016** > This is the second home that I have remodeled with Tom Conway and the other professionals at RKCAD. After a house fire destroyed most of my historic farm house, I knew Tom Conway would be the perfect talent to rebuild my 1700's bankhouse. Tom and the other architects went to great lengths to preserve the character of the original structure, consider the beauty of the property and work within the confines of my insurance budget. The process from start to finish was seamless. The rebuilt home maintains the feel of the historic hamlet where it is situated, yet contains all of the modern amenities and energy efficiency of a modern home. Everyone who visits my home wants to move in! My sincere appreciation to the entire staff. > Kathleen > Tewksbury Township, NJ **★★★★★ — Dita G, Aug. 2016** > We were looking to renovate and build an addition to an old Victorian home. Our goal was to respect its character while integrating a more modern interior space. > The challenge was a narrow lot with nice deep backyard that we wanted to emphasize throughout the house. > RKCAD delivered on those goals and created a modern luminous open interior space, while respecting the historical Victorian exterior appearance of the house. We are very pleased with the outcome and are enjoying the house every day. **★★★★★ — Amanda Damesek, Aug. 2016** > I loved working with David Rosen and his staff. They heard what we were looking for and it turned out just perfect. I would recommend them over and over again. **★★★★★ — Erin H, Aug. 2016** > Rosen Kelly Conway helped us with a full house and exterior renovation. It was our first home and we felt overwhelmed by the process. But we knew that we could put our trust in this fine group of architects who have decades of experience. They really "held our hands" throughout the process, truly having our backs, from obtaining permits to selecting vendors. They were super professional, creative and amazing problem solvers. Our house turned out amazing and we couldn't have done it without them. **★★★★★ — mark\_bush18, July 2016** > We would recommend Rosen Kelly and Conway without reservation. Throughout our project, Dave Rosen and his team not only provided excellent, high quality work but also sound advice and guidance. We undertook an extensive remodeling of our 100 year old home, and while the finished project looks fantastic, importantly, it is also in keeping with the original style and character of the house. Dave and his team were actively engaged in the project through its completion and provided valuable oversight in the execution of their design. > > We are thrilled with the end result of our home improvement project, and Rosen Kelly and Conway were an essential part of that outcome. **Comment from Rosen Kelly Conway Architecture & Design:** > Thank you so much for the online review. We are very pleased to hear that you had a positive experience working with RKCAD. Best wishes! **★★★★★ — summit7, April 2016** > I have used Tom Conway for both my home and business. He is absolutely brilliant, professional & easy to work with. Both projects came out amazing. For my home, I had met with 3 architects before meeting Tom to add on a 4th bedroom upstairs which was in a tricky location. Tom came up with a cost effective, smart solution to add this bedroom. For my business, he transformed an office space into a high-end boutique studio! **Comment from Rosen Kelly Conway Architecture & Design:** > Thank you so much for the kind review! It was a pleasure working with you on both projects. **★★★★★ — jenken17, April 2016** > We can't say enough great things about our experience working with Rosen Kelly Conway. We were pleasantly surprised by their attentiveness-- considering the relatively small addition we entrusted them with. Every person we interacted with was caring and professional-- and the end product, our new sunroom, is the jewel of our home. Ask for Tom Conway, whose aesthetic vision is unparalleled... Plus, he's just someone you want around. **Comment from Rosen Kelly Conway Architecture & Design:** > Thank you for taking the time to write such a nice review. RKCAD is very happy to hear you had a great experience. All the best! **★★★★★ — jgordon11, March 2016** > RKC has designed four major projects for me. Two renovations at my former house, an 1880 Victorian, and two projects at my current 1912 stone colonial. Tom Conway is the partner in charge of our work. RKC has the complete package, including in-depth understanding of architectural history and preservation, fresh creative ideas, attention to a client's needs, and a solid grasp of the practical side of contracting / budgeting a project. Obviously since I have returned to them several times, I am a big fan. **Comment from Rosen Kelly Conway Architecture & Design:** > Thank you so much! RKCAD really appreciates you writing a review about your experience with us. It has been a pleasure working with you over the past 7 years. **★★★★★ — hbenge, Feb. 2016** > Tom Conway of Rosen Kelly Conway, designed a renovation for our 20's era beach cottage. The house is quite small, but he was able to work within the existing footprint to give us a new master bedroom and bath, more functional kitchen and improved flow through the house as well as a better connection to our backyard. All of the changes are highly functional and respectful of the original structure. **Comment from Rosen Kelly Conway Architecture & Design:** > Thank you Holly for the review and for allowing us to photograph your project. We hope you have a great 2016 season in Sea Girt enjoying your new space! **★★★★★ — Diane Moriarty, Feb. 2016** > We have used Dave Rosen of Rosen Kelly Conway for three renovation projects on two homes over the years. The most recent project involved swapping the location of our dining room and kitchen so that the kitchen is now open to our family room, expanding the footprint of the house to accommodate a new breakfast room off the kitchen, and enlarging our finished basement by digging out under the existing family room. We love the end result! Dave and his team took us through the whole process from design to build in a creative, thoughtful and patient way. They proposed different design options to refine the scale of the project, got preliminary bids from several contractors so we understood the potential costs, prepared the construction plans and met with us several times to refine the myriad details on them, recommended contractors that they have had good experience with, handled the bidding process, and provided construction oversight. As inevitable changes-- structural surprises in our old house and added wish list items -- came up during construction, they worked quickly and seamlessly with the builder to provide solutions and architectural drawings to resolve them. They are consummate professionals. Working with Rosen Kelly Conway has made our construction experience fun and successful, and that says alot! **Comment from Rosen Kelly Conway Architecture & Design:** > Thank you for taking the time to write such a nice review. RKCAD wishes you years of happiness in the new space! ## Selected projects - [1920's Colonial](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/1920-s-colonial-pj-vj~6384708) - Location: Summit, NJ - Photos: 41 - [New Consturction \| Summit, NJ](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/new-consturction-summit-nj-pj-vj~5851797) - Location: Summit, NJ - Photos: 61 - Description: Architecture: Rosen Kelly Conway Architecture & Design Interior Design: Rosen Kelly Conway Architecture & Design Contractor: Westfield Construction Inc.
