**★★★★★ — Chris Dixon, Oct. 2016**

> Erik Tolley is a very talented architect, and I'm very lucky to have him as a client. As the designer of his website and his IT support professional I have an opportunity to see plenty of his work which is outstanding. Not only does he know how to design houses which blend with the community, but he brings them individuality and all the features his clients require, working consistently in budget and on time.

**★★★★★ — Beth Leighton, Aug. 2016**

> We recently used Erik to design our lakefront home. The entire process was seem less from start to finish. Erik made himself available for every concern we had along the way. We would strongly recommend him for all design work.

**★★★★★ — loriwoconnell, June 2016**

> We used Erik to redesign an old house in Chatham.  We were so pleased with his designs and his creativity.  Erik took a lot of time to fully discuss the details with us and took our opinions and suggestions into account, making changes as we wanted them made but also giving his expert opinion when needed.  It was fun and collaborative and the quality was top notch.

**★★★★★ — Naomi Mancha, Dec. 2015**

> As a distributor we love to see our products utilized by individuals who can bring them to a spectacular finish. That is exactly what Erik Tolley does time after time.
> Erik has been nominated numerous times in what we call the Marvin Architect challenge and has ranked top 3 nationwide for his brilliant design.
> We look forward to Erik’s best-in-class work each year. Thank you for making Marvin look so good!

**★★★★★ — wendy pels, Oct. 2015**

> We have worked with Erik oon multiple projects at both our full-time and part time residences. His attention to detail, precision and extrordinary style is unparralleled. For our initial project, we must have interviewed 6 or 7 different architects and Erik blew us away in comparasin. His work speaks an elequent architectual language that reflects firmess, commodity and delight.
>
> In 2007, relocating to southern New England was difficult for our young son Adam...but after the renovations and additions? He would look at me and say, "I can't believe we actually live here". I would look back at him and say....."I can't either".

**★★★★★ — Ana Grey, Oct. 2015**

> We recently purchased a summer home on the Cape, it has always been a dream of ours. Erik made that dream so much more vivid with his masterful design contributions and unparalleled expertise. He is an artist that was able to understand our desires, anticipate our needs and create a home that is so much more than we could have ever imagined. He truly transformed our average, neighborhood house into a home that will be passed down as a treasured, family heirloom.
>
>  I recommend Erik for your home transformations with the utmost of confidence.

**★★★★★ — juliainboston, Sept. 2015**

> Erik is an extremely talented architect, and my husband and I could not be more delighted with our gorgeous house. Erik listened to all of our desires and built us a house which is filled with natural light, has absolutely no wasted space, and perfectly blends contemporary and traditional Cape aesthetics. Every room has unexpected details that make our house unique (including a room with a secret bookcase door, a cathedral-ceiling bedroom with a loft, and a two-story great room with a coffered ceiling. The indoor-outdoor flow is also great.

**★★★★★ — mf5535, June 2015**

> My wife and I wanted to build a new house on the Cape. We sort of knew what we wanted but we also knew we were working with some limitations the biggest of which was the size of our lot. We wanted 4 BR, 2.5 BA, and an open concept main floor all in a 2000 sq ft house. The design that Erik came up with that met all of our needs really blew us away. The house is both beautiful and laid out perfectly for our Cape Cod lifestyle.

**★★★★★ — kayak178, May 2015**

> My husband and I hired Erik to extensively renovate our existing home, which turned into a tear down and building a new home. The end product surpassed our highest expectations; we felt comfortable in our new home from the first night we stayed there. Erik's design not only gave us an open floor plan, a bigger master bathroom, a roomier kitchen with more work space, and a complete second floor designed for guests and our daughters and their potential families in mind, but a design that affords so much natural light that no matter what room we step into, we're enveloped in a warm radiance. Erik's easy, affable personality and his skillful ideas persuaded us to hire him, and we won.

## Community Q&A

**Q: What kind of shingle siding is this?** *(in Photo Questions)*

A: Good morning,
Thank you for the question.  This particular house utilized white cedar siding pre-dipped in bleaching oil.
Thanks again,
ERT Architects, Inc

**Q: Backyard transformation with pool - Before & After** *(in Polls)*

Large 48' x 23' pool with a 12-ton boulder waterfall. What do y'all think?

A: Gorgeous!

**Q: Master bath/Walk In Closet layout** *(in Smaller Homes)*

We are about to expand the upstairs in a 1940's house that we just purchased.  I need help with the layout.  This is a very rough sketch and I am not sure of the space needed between the shower and toilet or in front of the vanity.  I am trying to maximize closet room as well, since the house has no storage.  Do you think this will work?  There is currently no plumbing in place so the placements are not set.

A: Hi Amy T
Thanks for following us!  The layout appears to work.  For a double vanity and toilet you need about 9 feet of depth and the closet/bath combo as drawn needs about 12 or 13 feet of width.  I'd consider a door between the bath and the closet, between the fin wall you've shown and the shower, just to try to limit the amount of steam that gets in to the closet a little.  Good luck with your project!!!
ERTA

**Q: Finishing touch** *(in Before & After)*

Installing shower door and plumbing fixtures . Also vanity countertops and mosaic matching backspalsh

A: beautifully done.

**Q: Exterior Transformation** *(in Before & After)*

Before:

After:
Our clients wanted a new look for their newly purchased outdated home. Being near the beach, they wanted to add a coastal feel to their new home. Do you like the transformation?

A: very beautiful update

**Q: Kitchen Remodel - Before & After** *(in Before & After)*

A: stunning transformation
