WHAT IS ROBERT J ERDMANN DESIGN?
We merge design expertise with convenience & function to help clients realize their visions

WHAT WE DO
Design begins as a conversation merging convenience to your lifestyle. Fashion is then tailored into the equation to become the blueprint of your unique design style. I believe that your home is the built environment that merges comfort and convenience ~ blended into a style that is welcoming and refreshing. 

Our design services include space planning, kitchens & baths, cabinetry & millwork design (woodwork), offices, boardrooms, bars, cafes, custom furniture,  detailing & specifications, management and sourcing.

Collaboration with construction teams provides clarity and the confidence to meet project goals and client expectations. Whether you need timely strategic planning or quick answers to be productive, on time, and in budget, our extensive knowledge can help you avoid problems and costly delays.

HOW WE WORK
Good design is the direct result of finding out what inspired the project, understanding the synergistic relationship between lifestyle, convenience, and fashion, and refining those details. When you embark on a project, large or small, the ownership experience begins with the initial inspiration, and continues long after the trades are  in the distant past. Working toward the success of your project is our passion and etched into the fiber of how I work.

Drawing upon our deep knowledge of wood and its properties, multi-faceted construction experience and natural design rendering talent, Robert J Erdmann Design offers design solutions that provide project-wide continuity.

**★★★★★ — Genesis Architecture, LLC., Sept. 2014**

> Having worked with Bob for over 10 years now, I can attest to his excellence in every service he provides.  Not only does he have a tremendous technical knowledge of cabinetry and woodworking, but his early training in the graphic arts shows itself in his exquisite aesthetic sense of detail.  If that were not enough, his professionalism, courtesy, and people skills make each job a pleasure. When we want the best out there for our clients, we call on Bob and are never disappointed.

**★★★★★ — J D Premier Construction Ltd, Sept. 2014**

> I have worked with Bob on a number of projects from residential to commercial. His designs have always been what the customer is looking for and specific to details. He has referred high quality cabinet shops and has never missed a deadline. I would recommend Bob to anyone who is looking for a specific design to fit their needs.

**★★★★★ — Tracy Migrin, Aug. 2014**

> I have been working with Bob on a high-end residence for which he has provided detail consultation along with actual samples to show our design/detail intent.  He is always very responsive, very thoughtful and detailed about the answers that he provides and all-around enjoyable to work with.  It is quite obvious through his recommendations, design details and product samples that he is incredibly skilled and knows what he is doing.  I would highly recommend him to anyone needing his services.

**★★★★★ — lgall, Nov. 2013**

> We’ve just completed installation on the second project Bob designed for us this past year, and we could not be happier.  Bob brings a unique and much desired combination of being a creative designer who really listens to his client and an experienced craftsman who knows how to engineer the final product for installation.
> We initially brought him in to design a stair “tower” leading from our basement to the second floor.  As soon as we started working with him we knew he was also the right person to design the built-in bookshelves, fireplace mantel, and television cabinetry in our living room.
> Bob provided service through all phases of each project; design, detailed material lists, shop drawings, contractor selection, and project management .  He is an experienced and creative designer who also has many years of hands on woodworking and cabinet manufacturing.  We will be asking Bob to work with us again in the future and would highly recommend his services to anyone.

**★★★★★ — beckyrao, May 2012**

> My farm home was the SECOND project that Bob Erdmann worked on.  The first was an enormous renovation of an 80 year old mansion in Milwaukee.  Bob's company did all the cabinetry for the mansion, matching blueprints and woods perfectly to restore the mansion to its historic roots.
>
> All of the interior cabinetry of my farm home, from baseboards to cupboards, too 8 foot interior doors, to hand-hewn beams, to bars, to wooden ceilings---all completed on time, on budget, and exactly as expected from this outstanding artist.
>
> I highly recommend him and his design firm for your next home or office project.  You can expect perfection, and it will be delivered.
>
> See Bob's photos of my home on his website.

**★★★★★ — Lori, May 2012**

> I have worked with Robert Erdmann for nearly 20 years on a  number of projects.  The largest project we worked on together was a high rise condo buildout in 2009 (photos of this project are shown in his Houzz portfolio).  Bob designed the entire project, from millwork profiles to door styles and all the cabinetry and closets.  Everything was custom built to meet the expectation of his design elements.
>
> In 1994, he designed the millwork package for my country home and also designed a bed frame and night stands that was custom built.We recently worked together on a kitchen remodel and soon will be collaborating on a dining room remodel.
>
> Bob's expertise is in elements using wood, but his knowledge of the global design process is what makes working with him a true joy.  He has impeccable attention to detail and every one of those details has a role to play in the ultimate design.

**★★★★★ — Sharon D'Amico, May 2012**

> Robert J Erdmann designed my remodeled kitchen in our Tri-level home.  His attention to detail and ability to read what his clients want and need is exceptional.  He designed a beautiful contemporary kitchen for us, and was extremely mythodical about where drawers and cabinets went in relation to how we use our kitchen.  Things we didn't even think of at the time.  He listened to what we liked, and designed it exactly the way we wanted it to be.  Bob goes over and beyond his job, in that he really cares about how everything turns out.  That includes stops at the remodel site, because he was in the neighborhood and just wanted to see how things are going....and then ends up spending an hour measuring exactly where the pulls should be placed on the cabinets/drawers, so the carpenter gets it perfect!!  There is a reason for everything that Bob puts on paper, and he is great at explaining each detail along the way.  I would recommend Robert J Erdmann to everyone!!!  Photo's to come soon.
