We believe in taking the time to truly listen and understand your needs and expectations, and then advise you on the best way to achieve those goals. We keep you informed with quick and clear communication. Those are foreign concepts in our industry, but Graystone tends to stray from the norm, and that’s exactly what sets us apart. The Design side of Graystone is led by Danny Quintana, architectural designer. His role is to plan ahead, design your project virtually and work out the kinks, so you see your project before inception. His 20+ years in on-site construction and project management give him a unique perspective. His hands-on experience allows him to design your new space – or entire home – in a way that reflects how you live. His in-depth knowledge and experience empower Danny to cost-engineer and foresee problems before the permit is filed. You can work with Danny for architectural designs under a separate contract, or as a tie-in with a build contract. If you decide to have Graystone perform the build out, you'll be introduced to our construction manager. Our construction management is set up to ensure your project runs as smoothly as possible through regular communication and in understanding your expectations. Our aim is to keep the subcontractors on budget, on time and within our quality control.

He had great design ideas and was very communicative and up front. We absolutely love our screened in deck. ### All 9 reviews **★★★ — Michael Brady, June 2025** > Danny has a great eye for design, but employed terrible subcontractors. I love the house and what he did with it but the delays were tremendous, the contractors and project manager were terrible. So much had to be redone. > > Executive cabinets. Terrible. They were so bad we had to punt and paint wood grain cabinets because they couldn't get the color to match after they made a huge deal we picked the color we wanted. The modern cabinets don't line up. The Project manager didn't double check the measurements. Mistakes we are going to have to live with. **★★★★★ — Allegra Knight-Byrnes, March 2023** > Danny and I clicked right away. He was able to translate what I was babbling into a beautiful kitchen. I love how he took my awkward floor space, along with consideration of how I planned to use it, and turned it in my dream entertainers kitchen. All my neighbors (who have the same floor plan) are jealous of my double islands and they wish they had thought of it. I owe it all to Danny! **★ — Jeremiah, Nov. 2022** > Started off as excellent communication but after he got paid it began to waver. Sooner rather than later COMPLETELY decides ghost me and my project leaving me to have to pay for an entirely new architect to finish and adjust my plans. Complete 180. **Comment from Graystone Design:** > Very sorry that our decision to no longer provide design services for this project is seen as "ghosting". From our position, we worked hard to work with the restaurants and the unique approach you were taking to make the project happen. We adjusted our contract requirements to help with what seemed to be a cash flow issue and changed our contract terms to even help with that. But whenever there was a need to bill for more time to provide what was being requested you would say that you did not want to spend any more money. That led to us providing many hrs of work that was given away for free. You had what seemed to be a 2,000,000 dollar home in mind to build with a 500,000.00 budget. It was clear that we were no longer a good fit for each other. I could no longer give my time away for free. Sorry. **★★★★★ — Nancy Emens, Feb. 2019** > Danny has a great eye for design and picked up on my vision immediately. Firms like Graystone are hard to find. In addition to providing a high quality product, they deliver on all things that make a project run smoothly. They arrive on time, clean up at the end of each day and respond promptly to calls. In our case, they abided by difficult rules requirements in our building. > Danny and the construction boss, Alex, were always pleasant, helpful and understanding when changes were required. The bottom line is we we thrilled with our completed loft. It is everything we had envisaged. **★★★★★ — J. Holmes, Sept. 2016** > I have been using Graystone for many years. From a full kitchen and bath remodel (10 years ago), to a family room update project, Danny consistently provides the highest quality end result. Along with his construction experience comes a great ability to add vision and creativity. His work ethic and easy to work with attitude will keep him as my go to contractor whenever possible. **★★★★ — vps3, Jan. 2015** > What a great experience!!!.. from the moment I met Danny and Kelly, I knew I'd chosen the right professionals for my project. Danny's attention to detail, professionalism and great communication, made for a wonderful collaboration. He was always mindful of my budget and sought ways to utilize it to the fullest. Outstanding planning and scheduling of tasks during all phases of the project were problem free. I would highly recommend Graystone ....I look forward to working with Graystone on my next project. PS...the subcontractors were also very courteous, respectful of my home and top-notch!!!!....thanks Graystone. **★★★★★ — Ken Fedor, Jan. 2014** > Graystone was selected to renovate our master bath, powder bath and master bedroom primarily due to the quality of their work from our previous kitchen project. > As with any turnkey project, there will always be minor issues with subcontractors but Graystone's project manager and owner both facilitated the solutions in a timely manner. Their carpenter subcontractor was exceptionally talented and a pleasure with which to work. **Comment from Graystone Design:** > Thank you for the kind words. It was an absolute pleasure to work with you and your family! Your unique perspective and input made this collaborative effort a fun, and one-of-a-kind project that we're proud to be apart of. We hope you and your family will the enjoy the space in comfort for years to come. When the "dust settles" we are looking forward to working together again on the master suite. **★★★★★ — zaprats, May 2013** > Danny at Graystone is great to work with. I interviewed several companies and felt that he had the experience and quality of workmanship I was looking for in a general contractor. He has great subs working under him that did a great job on the hvac, electrical, framing and drywall. Highly recommended. ## Selected projects - [Brookhaven Remodel, Atlanta GA](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/brookhaven-remodel-atlanta-ga-pj-vj~400220) - Location: Atlanta, GA - Photos: 27 - Description: A standard home with plenty of space, the homeowners wanted to open up the walls and really embrace an open floor plan concept.

To start the homeowners wanted us to join the segmented front rooms by vaulting the ceiling. They also wanted us to replace all the windows. For the dining room we installed a commercial quality window to allow for the floor to ceiling window the client requested. For a unique effect and added light, we also used commercial transom windows inserted into the kitc… - [Morningside Master Bathroom](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/morningside-master-bathroom-pj-vj~150767) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 4 - [Atlanata Home Design](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/atlanata-home-design-pj-vj~7877289) - Location: Atlanta, GA - Photos: 3 - [Buckhead Lofts](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/buckhead-lofts-pj-vj~6628130) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 3 - [Spalding Full Home Renovation](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/spalding-full-home-renovation-pj-vj~6628135) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 1 - [Suwanee Master Bath](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/suwanee-master-bath-pj-vj~6628118) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 3 - [Atlanta Pool House](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/atlanta-pool-house-pj-vj~6628106) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 4 - [Brookhaven, GA: Kitchen,Master Suite, Main Floor Renovation](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/brookhaven-ga-kitchen-master-suite-main-floor-renovation-pj-vj~2833935) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 28 [See all 14 projects](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/design-build-firms/graystone-design-pfvwus-pf~813763531) ## Video - [Company video](https://player.vimeo.com/external/840739917.m3u8?s=820f9af5e09ce7a97a46150221136bdab8e99af9&oauth2_token_id=1384357804) ## Frequently Asked Questions **Do you manage permitting and approvals?** Yes, we absolutely manage permitting and approvals for your project.

LOVE IT!** *(in Photo Questions)* Tile color and manf?? A: Unfortunately I don't have those details. It was an imported marble that the client provided. They purchased from Walker-Zanger in Atlanta. **Q: Vanity Top** *(in Photo Questions)* Marble? Thanks! A: The medicine cabinets were built by our custom cabinet shop (1 has a transparent mirror to house a flat screen TV behind it). The pulls are from Restoration Hardware. **Q: What is this?** *(in Photo Questions)* What is this? A: This is a fireplace mantel. It is made of wood that has been angled to create a woven effect. **Q: what color are the walls painted** *(in Photo Questions)* A: Thanks for the question. The color is SW 6113 Interactive Cream. **Q: Reface My Home** *(in Photo Questions)* I would LOVE to stucco the house but it's a bit more than I want to spend right now. I HATE the burnt shingle look. I don't want to waste money with vinyl only to replace wioth stucco down the line. Is it possible to paint these nasty burnt shingles? What color would compliment the brick? I'm also going to replace the garage doors- suggestions welcome and relandscape. Eventually will repave the circular driveway with cobblestone. OPinions and suggestions needed. A: A simple, beefed up box column would be very nice. I wouldn't add a lot of trim as that would compete with the various levels of the house. --- *Source: Houzz professional profile. Reflects the profile as of 2026-09-21.*
