In the planning stage, Becky was generous with her time over multiple meetings. Her designs were detailed and clear, combining beautiful design, structural integrity and practical function. Her experience helped choose excellent materials, and a contractor (LHI Construction – that’s a different review but suffice it to say they were perfect). > Pantuso architecture is very hands on. We had weekly meetings which included the contractor throughout the length of the project. Very helpful for heading off any future problems. At one point, we decided to replace an aging roof. At considerable cost of her time, Becky was able to achieve an additional discount on DaVinci tiles. > Becky promised us a beautiful, elegant result. She did not disappoint! > And… it was fun! It wasn’t luck that we were on budget with no major problems, It was Pantuso Architecture working with LHI. Becky gave us a result that was eminently better than our original dream **★★★★★ — Matt, Feb. 2026** > We couldn't be happier with our kitchen remodel. Becky, Dori, and the rest of the Pantuso team managed to strike the perfect balance between clean aesthetics and everyday functionality and flow. They listened to our needs, respected our budget, and delivered a space that truly feels like the heart of our home. Professional, creative, and a joy to work with! **★★★★★ — Barbara Berkeley, Jan. 2026** > We first got to know and work with Becky a number of years ago when we did a major renovation of our 1847 farmhouse. (Western Reserve Farmhouse II on this site). Our home is old and quirky and we had lots of ideas about the project as well as concerns about changing things. Becky was the best partner ever. She’s incredibly creative and visionary while always respectful of her clients’ particular personality and style. The result was magical. > This past year we re-engaged Becky and team to renovate a smaller farmhouse on our property. Again there were concerns about changing the nature of a very old and charming structure. Becky created an addition that looks as if it has always been there. We cannot give her a high enough recommendation. **★★★★★ — Susan King Byrne, Sept. 2025** > I had the pleasure of working with Becky Pantuso on several major renovations to our 20 plus year-old home, and the results were nothing short of spectacular! Becky is an exceptionally talented architect - a visionary and incredible problem solver. Her eye for detail helped us transform our home’s original heavy, dated trim and moldings into a lighter, more refined aesthetic that feels fresh and beautiful. She created thoughtful, detailed architectural drawings for our kitchen/hearth room renovation, and bedroom addition and she connected us with a fantastic contractor who brought her plans to life! Becky’s creativity and dedication made the entire process enjoyable and we would certainly work with her again, in a heartbeat! **★★★★★ — Chris McClure, Sept. 2025** > The Pantuso team has been excellent to work with. Their design process has been efficient and creative; they have been invaluable in overseeing all phases of our project through completion. They are very skilled at navigating the bureaucracy involved with approvals in our area of Ohio and always seem to be two steps ahead of the process. Our project was a complex expansion and remodel of a century home. Becky Pantuso, Andrew Reynolds and team took the utmost care and professionalism to maintain our home’s original character while accomplishing the long list of requirements we had to transform our house into our dream home. **★★★★★ — Mark Kusner & Lisa Hovanec, Aug. 2025** > We have worked with Becky and Derek from Pantuso Architecture on several projects on several homes. Their creativity and solutions to problems always impressed us. They are attentive to every detail and made the entire process stress-free. Becky and Derek are not only talented architects but are also wonderful people to work with. We have always been happy with their services and will definitely work with them again when a new project arises. **★★★★★ — Joyce & Ben Holbert, Aug. 2025** > Becky Pantuso was amazing to work with, her and her team were very professional and passionate. They were there throughout the project and made sure things were done in order. She was an effective and efficient representative between her client and the General Contractor. Highly recommended. **★★★★★ — Pam Goldsword, Aug. 2025** > We had the pleasure of working with Pantuso Architecture on the redesign of the exterior of our home. We are very happy with the results! Becky and Andrew were extremely professional, creative and paid attention to every single detail. They both took time to understand exactly what we wanted and we even dropped into their office without notice and they helped us immediately. > Our home looks so fresh and updated and we have received so many compliments from friends and neighbors. > Both Becky and Andrew have a passion for what they do and it shows in their work! We would highly recommend using them for any projects! **★★★★★ — spenz123, Aug. 2025** > We had a fantastic experience working with Becky Pantuso and her team at Pantuso Architecture. From the very beginning, Becky and Derek impressed us with their creative ideas and thoughtful suggestions for our home renovation. Their professionalism, attention to detail, and collaborative approach made it enjoyable to work with them. We always felt heard and supported. We would highly recommend Pantuso Architecture to anyone looking for a talented and reliable architectural team! > > Anthony and Anita Spencer **★★★★★ — Lee Hardy, Aug. 2025** > When my husband and I decided to build an in-law suite for my aunt, who plays a maternal role in my life, the architect's firm choice was clear. > Given Pantuso Architecture's exceptional work on my cousin's addition years earlier, we engaged Rebecca Pantuso and have not regretted our decision. They carefully assessed our needs and developed an amazing design to meet them. > > Rebecca, Steve, Andrew, and notably Tuckerhave consistently demonstrated exceptional professionalism, friendliness, and accessibility. > > > Darinka & Lee **★★★★★ — Pepper Pike Addition, Aug. 2025** > Becky and Derek did a first class job on our project in 2024. We added a first floor primary with office and a gym in the basement below. > > They were hard working, honest on economics, and laid out a great plan for our GC to follow. Throughout the project they were also available and willing to do whatever to make things go well, including on site visits or calls. > > We often receive compliments on how the addition looks like it was always there and that was Becky and Derek’s vision from day 1. It also fit what we wanted as well. **★★★★★ — HU-478408514, Nov. 2024** > Becky and her team are a joy to work with through the design and implementation phase. Her team’s creativity is impressive and their commitment to get the job done right is second to none. **Comment from Pantuso Architecture:** > Thank you for the kind words and referrals.

The original structure, characterized by its vinyl siding and classic two-story colonial saltbox form, was a blank canvas that offered little hint of its potential. The "after" picture reveals a stunning transformation where the traditional, white, saltbox is intentionally juxtaposed with a sleek, black, vertical-sided modern addition.

A new Master Suite, his and hers offices, family friendly living areas and a lower level fitness area complete this modern living space that radiates traditional details fitting with the historic town in which it is located. - [Timber frame transformation](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/timber-frame-transformation-pj-vj~7531830) - Location: Burton, OH - Photos: 7 - [Dutch Colonial Addition](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/dutch-colonial-addition-pj-vj~109106) - Location: Chagrin Falls, OH - Photos: 5 - Description: The objective of the project was to improve and expand the existing second floor master suite while replacing the existing deck. The more solid deck skirting and double columns were intentional designed to help visually hold up the massing above.

Where are they from? A: I believe these were originally from Pottery Barn - circa 2018. It looks like they have modified the original design. Maybe check out Kelly Miller on Amazon for a better match to this picture. All the Best, Pantuso Architecture **Q: Hi, what is the granite counter in this photo? Thanks in advance.** *(in Photo Questions)* Name of granite counter A: I think it was Taj Mahal or Naica. I will need someone to dig this up as it was completed almost 10 years ago. :) **Q: island dimensions** *(in Photo Questions)* Lovely kitchen. Would you mind sharing the island dimensions? A: Good morning! The island is just over 2'-0". If you want to send me an email at becky@pantusoarchitecture.com, I can send more information. **Q: what are the countertops here?** *(in Photo Questions)* What countertop is this? A: If you could email becky@pantusoarchitecture.com, I can send additional pictures. Thanks! **Q: What is the exterior color/brand of paint used on the exterior?** *(in Photo Questions)* Really like this exterior color, it's light but not white...... A: Hello Helen, Thank you for your inquiry. We've checked with the contractor on this project but as it was about 10 years ago, he doesn't have that information any longer. Sorry we couldn't provide more information! **Q: Gorgeous kitchen!! What is the maker/type of cabinetry hardware here?** *(in Photo Questions)* Any details are appreciated. I'm looking for new cabinetry hardware. A: Hello and thank you for your inquiry.
