**★★★★★ — V&M Development, Inc., Oct. 2013**

> Our development firm hired McGrath Architects to design a unique, yet cost effective, spec home this past spring/summer.  They did a fantastic job of executing our vision for the project and we look forward to working with them again very soon!

**★★★★★ — Nathan Marsh, Sept. 2013**

> McGrath Architects has been a pleasure to work with.  We have utilized them on a recent gut rehab and 2nd floor addition.  They also provided design work for a client of ours converting a 2-flat to a single family home.  Their professionalism made them a pleasure to work with.

**★★★★★ — Bricks Incorporated, Nov. 2012**

> Jesse is constantly learning and adapting to the clients needs. For our project he was able to determine an accurate costing prior to the start of construction. His attention to detail and consistency are two of his greatest characteristics. Our team recommends Jesse McGrath and will work with him again in the future.
