GMT exceeded all expectations, truly listening to our wants, needs, and concerns throughout the process. Their attention to detail and dedication to understanding our vision made all the difference. > > The detailed plans and renderings they provided gave us complete confidence in our decisions and made the entire build process straightforward. We partnered with GMT through a design-build process and the builder that GMT chose was also fantastic and seamless. > > The finished spaces are not only stunning but also incredibly functional. We’re thrilled with our transformed home and highly recommend their exceptional work. **Comment from GMT Home Designs Inc.:** > Thank you Jeff for your review! We are thrilled that you are so happy with the design, our process, and our build partner Coady Built. It was wonderful working with you both and we love the transformation! ### All 49 reviews **★★★★★ — Business\_Name\_Placeholder, July 2026** > We recently completed a major renovation of our vacation home on Cape Cod. We struggled early on in the design process until we engaged the services of GMT. Best decision we ever made! They took the time to fully understand our vision for the property and developed the final design for our dream house. Glenn and Carrie and the entire staff are creative, thoughtful and most important to us timely and incredibly responsive. They kept us involved in every phase of the design process. It was truly a team effort and resulted in our dream vacation house. I highly recommend GMT Home Designs! **Comment from GMT Home Designs Inc.:** > Thank you so much Dave and Natalie for the kind words! Your house is beautiful and we are glad we were able to be a part of making it what you dreamed of! **★★★★★ — donnainma, July 2026** > We worked with GMT on an addition for a 1st floor primary suite plus laundry and office space. Glenn understood our needs and listened to our design preferences. We wanted an addition that fit the scale, age, and style of our house. The end result is seamless and blends perfectly into the existing home. GMT Connected us with general contractor, Erik Salmi of EWS Building, who was a pleasure to work with. Erik drove the schedule, completing the addition ahead of the projected timeline and included thoughtful details in the execution of the design. **Comment from GMT Home Designs Inc.:** > Thank you Chris and Donna! We are so glad we were able to work with you on your project and that Erik was a great fit! **★★★★★ — Addition New Primary Closet Seamless addition t, Sept. 2025** > Working with GMT Home Designs has been a dream! We had a dream to build a new addition to our home with a new primary closet and more. GMT Home Designs listened to our wishlist items and giving us a realistic design and what they budget would be with today's costs. We were able to work together collaboratively and efficiently on just some minor tweaks to the design and that was mainly because after seeing the actual design, we realized that we wanted other changes. Then GMT Home Designs referred us to a few contractors and we picked a wonderful team that we all worked well together. From start to finish, GMT Home Designs were there to check in with us, give us updates, and just say hello. We're so glad that we worked with GMT Home Designs to make our forever home, our dream home. **Comment from GMT Home Designs Inc.:** > Thank you for your review! We really appreciate it and are so glad that you're happy with the final results of your project. You were wonderful to work with and we are so happy you loved Sun Valley Homes. **★★★★★ — Darin K., Sept. 2025** > We worked with the team over at GMT to design our custom home. We started with an extensive list of requirements and needs and they produced a design that far exceeded our expectations. GMT took the time to understand why we were making certain decisions and then found solutions that aligned perfectly with our vision, budget, and architectural consistency. The 3D renderings were incredible and helped us see (and adjust) design long before a board was placed. What really put them over the top was that they created a strong collaboration between us, GMT, and our GC/builder. They did not stop until of us were on the same page! Appreciated the attention to detail; design innovation within budget; and the willingness to work with us to produce something we very proud of! Would definitely recommend! **Comment from GMT Home Designs Inc.:** > Hi Darin, > > Thank you for your review! You and Patty were wonderful to work with and we loved being able to collaborate with you on your vision. We can't wait to see the final build! **★★★★★ — atey1, Aug. 2025** > I had such a great experience working with GMT Architects. From the start, they really took the time to listen to my ideas and feedback, which made me feel like my project truly mattered to them. Everyone on the team was so kind, easy to talk to, and genuinely enthusiastic about the work which made the whole process really enjoyable. > The design they came up with was spot-on: thoughtful, creative, and exactly what I was hoping for (and honestly, even better!). I’m so happy with how everything turned out and couldn’t recommend GMT Architects more highly **Comment from GMT Home Designs Inc.:** > Thank you! We loved working with you and so appreciate your review! **★★★★★ — We updated a bathroom added a sitting room, Aug. 2025** > GMT was so great to work with. We'd never done a significant home improvement project and they made it easy. They asked the right questions to know what we wanted, worked within our budget, and introduced us to a great contractor. Glenn and Carrie stopped in several times during the project and helped us know how to follow up on some final details. We couldn't be happier. **Comment from GMT Home Designs Inc.:** > Thank you so much for the review! You were so fun to work with and we love the added space to your home, both inside and out. We hope you enjoy it for years to come! **★★★★★ — Mike, May 2025** > GMT Home Designs was the ideal design/build firm to partner with, and I couldn't be more pleased with the results. Our project involved a complete home redesign and renovation, including an addition to expand the kitchen and add a mudroom. GMT took the time to understand our needs and preferences fully, and they guided us thoughtfully through areas where we were uncertain during the design and construction process. They also selected an excellent general contractor who collaborated closely with everyone involved and consistently prioritized our best interests. I highly recommend GMT Home Designs Inc. without reservation. **Comment from GMT Home Designs Inc.:** > Mike, Thank you so much for your review! We loved working with you both and the transformation to your home is incredible! We wish you the very best. **★★★★★ — The Bucci Family, Sept. 2024** > We worked with GMT to design a master suite/garage addition and renovation of our upstairs floor plan. After meeting with several architects and design-build firms we selected GMT because of their process. We loved that their architectural expertise led the design of the new space and they also were able to match us with a trusted builder who would bring the design to life. They asked the right questions to understand both our design and functional needs. At the design meeting, they presented us with renderings from their teamr and matched us with a builder to help us envision the new space and build the confidence we needed to move forward. We highly recommend working with GMT to help bring your home vision to life. **Comment from GMT Home Designs Inc.:** > Thank you Bucci Family for the review! We love how beautiful the addition looks and are so happy that it gives you the added space you need for your growing family. It was a pleasure working with you both! **★★★★★ — loriseavey, Sept. 2024** > We were blown away by the GMT Team! They did a 3D design presentation that showed us exactly what our addition would look like and added elements that enhanced the design that we didn’t even think of. They listen to our needs and walked with us through the whole process. I highly recommend GMT Home Designs. Extremely professional. **Comment from GMT Home Designs Inc.:** > Thank you Lori for the review! It was so fun working with you and Dave on this project. We can't wait to see the final build! **★★★★★ — kmehrler, Feb. 2024** > Working with GMT to renovate our home has been a wonderful experience! They have a team of talented architects, a ton of industry knowledge, and they listen and incorporate your wants/ needs while taking your budget into consideration. Everyone at GMT is warm, caring, and trustworthy, which is what you want when you are inviting someone to work on something as personal as your home. We have been extremely satisfied with GMT and we will continue to use them for future home projects. We recommend them without hesitation! **Comment from GMT Home Designs Inc.:** > Thank you so much Kristen! It was wonderful working with you both and we look forward to the next project! **★★★★★ — Alison Quinn, Sept. 2023** > We hired GMT to help us design an addition to our home so my parents would be able to live with us. Glenn and Carrie listened to our needs and concerns and were able to create an ADA compliant remodel and addition that we are thrilled with the results. The 3D rendering was extremely helpful and the construction company was fantastic! We highly recommend GMT! **Comment from GMT Home Designs Inc.:** > Thank you Alison for the review! We loved working with your family and are so happy that the new spaces work so well with the existing home and your needs! **★★★★★ — Stuart Haber, May 2023** > We've had a superb experience working with everyone at GMT Home Designs. Glenn, Carrie, Evan, Nico & Noah have all been an absolute pleasure to work with. They're extremely competent and professional but on top of all that, they're friendly, personable and really nice people! We highly recommend them! **Comment from GMT Home Designs Inc.:** > Thank you so much Stu! You and Ellen are wonderful people and your home looks beautiful! It was our pleasure working with you. **★★★★★ — Liz H, May 2023** > Believe the reviews! After searching extensively for the perfect architect, we hired GMT to bring our home renovation/addition to life. In addition to their expert design, the 3D renderings were truly the cherry on top. We couldn't be happier with the end result! The process took a bit longer than expected due to some zoning issues but the GMT team stayed on top of everything and kept the process organized and moving along. > > All of the contractors that have seen the final drawings have been so impressed. They all have said the level of detail provided as well as the flow of the design were exceptional. > > We wholeheartedly recommend Glenn, Janice, Carrie & the entire GMT team to anyone looking for superior design and service! **Comment from GMT Home Designs Inc.:** > Liz, thank you so much for this amazing review! We had a wonderful time working with you and we can't wait to see the final build of your project! **★★★★★ — Howard Loree, Feb. 2023** > We are very pleased with the final product of our project with GMT: the addition of a 3-car garage to our home. **Comment from GMT Home Designs Inc.:** > Thank you Howard! It was great working with you and Ann! **★★★★★ — Chris Benda, May 2022** > The GMT Home Designs Inc. team were excellent to work with at every stage of our project. We were particularly impressed with Noah's vision and timely communication at every step of the design process. The final plan set met all our expectations and were generated on time and on budget. We would definetly chose GMT for our next renovation project! **Comment from GMT Home Designs Inc.:** > Hi Chris, > Thank you so much for your review! You were both great to work with and we look forward to the next project! **★★★★★ — lcl3, Feb. 2022** > Carrie and Glenn were a pleasure to work with. From start to finish, they were professional, kind, and did great work. During the initial meeting, they took the time to listen to our ideas and hopes. They then offered their own perspectives and opinions based on their considerable experience. The process felt very collaborative. The result was a design that met our functional goals for the space while looking beautiful as well. Carrie was always available to field questions and assist with the process. Glenn and his team worked efficiently to meet deadlines. We would definitely recommend GMT Home Designs and use them again ourselves in the future. **Comment from GMT Home Designs Inc.:** > Lisa, thank you so much for taking the time to give us a review! You both were a pleasure to work with and we're so happy you and your family are enjoying your new space. **★★★★★ — Quality Framing Contractor Inc, Jan. 2022** > GMT is the complete package when it comes to design and architectural services. > > Glenn and his team can envision what each client is looking for in the matter of one meeting. Every project that we have worked together on his team has brought the clients dream to a reality. **Comment from GMT Home Designs Inc.:** > Thank you Keith for the review! We love working with Quality Framing! **★★★★★ — tangxiqun, Sept. 2021** > Glenn and his team are very professional. Architect and structure engineering drawing were delivered on time even though there were major changes for our house addition. It includes a great room, a garage with master suit on the top, and foyer upgrade. My husband had loads of questions about AC, water pipes, windows and utility easement in our lot. I had many plans for master bedroom closet and bathroom. Glenn has been very patient and answered each question promptly. The team came in and did the measurement professionally. The visualization of the new house expansion was extremely helpful for me. We were very fortunate to work with GMT and it was great experience. **Comment from GMT Home Designs Inc.:** > Thank you so much for your review! We thoroughly enjoyed working with you both! **★★★★★ — Robert Quinn, Sept. 2021** > GMT Home Designs were exceptional helping us design a new porch that fit perfectly into our home design while providing us the internal space we needed. After starting the project we learned that an old property survey was incorrect and it required us to move the porch to the far opposite end of the house. GMT was undeterred with the sudden change and quickly converted our design. We especially enjoyed going to their office to see their proposed layout in 3D with the ability to insert table and chairs, a daybed and rocking chairs to fit. They also had the idea of having a water fountain that we have on order and a full length screen to accentuate the design. The plans met all the building department requirements resulting in immediate approval and compliments from the building inspector. The detailed plans allowed us to be the general contractor hiring the excavation, granite flooring, structure, and electrical from competitive bids for each component. We are absolutely delighted with the design and highly recommend GMT Home Designs to others looking to improve their home and work with a family owned business that takes great pride in their work. **Comment from GMT Home Designs Inc.:** > Thank you so much Rob for this review! You were both a joy to work with and we are so glad you're happy with the final result. It looks beautiful! **★★★★★ — KQN, Dec. 2020** > GMT designed an addition (office/guest room, expanded mudroom) and complete first floor renovation (kitchen, half bath to full bath, expansion of living room) for our 100 year old home. GMT’s design fulfilled our vision perfectly blending a modern open floor plan with the dimensions and character of an older home. Glenn, Carrie and the rest of the GMT team were excellent to work with. They met their deadlines, and their innovative use of 3D rendering software greatly helped us to visualize our renovation before it was built. We highly recommend GMT Designs for their vision, skill and professionalism, and we hope to work with them again in the future. **Comment from GMT Home Designs Inc.:** > Kha, thank you so much for your review! It was wonderful working with you both. We would love to work with you on future projects! **★★★★★ — Amy S, Oct. 2020** > I highly recommend GMT Home Designs! Entering a home renovation is a daunting process, but GMT made the process as smooth as possible. Communication was stellar, including when demolition uncovered some unexpected damage that needed to be repaired and when this homeowner changed their mind on some design aspects during the renovation. We have additional projects planned and won't hesitate to use GMT again. **Comment from GMT Home Designs Inc.:** > Thank you Amy for your review! We loved working with you both and can't wait for future projects! **★★★★★ — emccurdy1, Sept. 2020** > The GMT team is extremely responsive. From start to finish we had no communication issues. Phone calls were always returned. The design fee is set up front and ended up being lower overall than a by-the-hour professional we had on another project. It was so important for us to be able to visualize how the designed space would look once completed, and GMT is able to show renderings in 3D. The process was seamless. The project was a first floor gut to remove walls, update first floor to open concept, fully renovate the kitchen, expand our front entry (bump out). Once we agreed on the design, a team from GMT came out and took precise measurements. In a meeting with GMT, the General Contractor presented a very detailed timeline and budget (both were met with very few changes). Fast forward six months, and we are thrilled with our new modern space. Thank you Glenn and Carrie Travis for the beautiful design! **Comment from GMT Home Designs Inc.:** > Elizabeth, Thank you so much for the review! You were both a joy to work with and we're so happy you're enjoying your new space. **★★★★★ — Ashley Fisher, May 2020** > Glenn and Carrie are some of the most personable professionals we have ever done business with. They started by both coming out to our property to listen to our wants and visions that we had for a very large addition to our house. Our house was built with cinder-block walls so the addition we were looking for was no easy feat to design. The GMT Home Designs team made our dream a reality. We had some budgeting issues in the beginning but Glenn and Carrie were very responsive to our feedback and turned around with several options for how we could expand our living space without expanding our budget. At the end of the day we made it work and we now own our Gorgeous Dream Home where will be here raising our two children for the rest of our lives. Thank you so much Glenn, Carrie, and the rest of the GMT Home Designs Team! **Comment from GMT Home Designs Inc.:** > Ashley, thank you so much for the review. You are very welcome! We loved working with you and Ken and are so glad we could help design your dream home. **★★★★★ — Dishington Construction - Jensen Hus, Dec. 2019** > I have used Glenn Travis at GMT Home design for several projects. Glenn and his team are awesome designers and are always coming up with great solutions for my clients and our projects. I love how quickly they can turn an idea into a viable design and plan. Our last project required some complicated stairways leading to a new 3rd floor as well as a complicated 3rd floor layout. They blew me away when they knew the Belmont bylaw for third story square footage and had worked it into their plan with out having to ask! Can't wait to do another project with Glenn and his team! **Comment from GMT Home Designs Inc.:** > Thanks Nate for the terrific review! We appreciate it very much! We look forward to working with you as well on the next project. We love working with truly professional design/build firms like yours where collaboration and good communication are cornerstones of our relationship. **★★★★★ — Andrea Bloch, Dec. 2019** > We hired GMT for our kitchen renovation and we couldn’t be happier with the final design. From my first meeting with Glenn, I knew that he and his team would be very easy to work with. He is an excellent listener and came up with a plan that works so well. The presentation of the final plans, in 3-D on a very large screen @ GMT, was very helpful in visualizing what the new space would look like. I would highly recommend GMT! **Comment from GMT Home Designs Inc.:** > Andrea, > Thank you so much for your review! We can't wait to see the renovated kitchen completed. It has been great working with you. **★★★★★ — HU-811943816, Oct. 2019** > Introduced to GMT by Sun Valley Homes our contractor to add a first floor bedroom/bath with an enlarged kitchen in a 1930s urban single family home. Reviewed several projects and were impressed with GMT success at liked sized projects. > Started with thorough review and photos of our site and project goals. Then we met in their offices to look at options in an on line computer simulation which they creatively used as we refined our ideas. Presented a first draft of project on paper. After first review we made a major change to enlarge the effort which they seemingly easily adapted > > After that we had almost no further direct contact as I assume they worked thru a couple Structural surprises with the contractor. They never returned to the site. This was somewhat surprising but didn’t seem to impact the project. > > Nice people to work with who listened and worked closely with us on the overall design. > > Project estimate came from contractor . Architect fee was a percent of contract which unfortunately grew as project cost overran estimate. **★★★★★ — Daniel Kuperstein, Jan. 2019** > Since our initial discussion with GMT Home Designs I felt that they truly listened to our ideas and project objectives and they turned our discussions into an amazing design incorporating many complex design challenges. I wholeheartedly recommend GMT Home Designs for any home design project. **Comment from GMT Home Designs Inc.:** > Dan, we really appreciate your review. You and Lynne have been amazing to work with. We are excited for you and your family to have such an awesome space. Can't wait to see the final result! **★★★★★ — Julie Quinn, July 2018** > I would definitely recommend GMT to anyone! Glenn and Carrie are professionals...they were excellent to work with and we had a lot of fun too! Glenn's design for our kitchen renovation was beautiful and functional and we couldn't be happier. GMT is a five-star company and I would highly recommend! **Comment from GMT Home Designs Inc.:** > Thank you Julie for the review! We loved working with you both and really appreciate your recommendation! **★★★★★ — Caren Cummings Adams, May 2018** > We hired GMT to design our new home and it has been an absolute pleasure to work with them. Glen and the entire team are great, and all have a stake in making our house a dream come true. > Not only to they stick to deadline promises, but they are competitively priced. > They got to know us and were very good listeners. It was a great experience overall. They design like this is their baby and we love that. **Comment from GMT Home Designs Inc.:** > Thank you Caren for this very nice review. We appreciate that very much! Both you and Richard have been terrific to work with as well. We look forward to seeing our design come to fruition soon! **★★★★★ — Dan Donahue, March 2018** > We’ve had the pleasure of working with GMT on a new addition to our home. They far exceeded any expectation we had with their expertise,cutting edge design process, and general love of what they do. Being able to see our project through the 3D design system allowed us the ability to make changes prior to construction, and really see the flow of the new area. Glenn and Carrie are absolutely amazing to work with and we can’t wait to see this design upon finished construction. > Dan & Rhonda **Comment from GMT Home Designs Inc.:** > Thanks so much Dan and Rhonda! It has been a pleasure working with you both and we can't wait to see the final result! **★★★★★ — jessponte, Dec. 2017** > Over two years ago we went to Glenn with an “idea” for an addition to our home. He and his team patiently worked with us to refine our project scope and to help give us everything we wanted within our budget. Glenn and his team turned our idea into a reality using their incredible 3D design system. For the first time we could actually see our dream home come to life. The entire GMT team is professional and demonstrates a sincere interest in our project. Glenn was extremely thorough and detailed in designing our plans and worked with us closely to ensure his design met all our needs and wants. Visualizing the space in the 3D model viewer not only showed us what our home would look like, but allowed us to make changes to something “we thought we liked” before ever breaking ground. His unique model of partnering with the builder throughout the design phase made it a seemless transition from designs on paper to full construction. Glenn continues to be an integral part of our ongoing construction and we are grateful for his expertise and continued support. Highly recommend! **Comment from GMT Home Designs Inc.:** > Thank you so much for your review! We really appreciate it. It has been great working with you and we look forward to seeing the project through the end of construction! **★★★★★ — RemodelWerks LLC, Dec. 2017** > I have worked with GMT Home Designs and his team many times over the last few years. They are a talented design team that uses state of the art architectural design software. The software they use helps me to show clients their house projects in so much detail that they fully understand what the project will look like prior to any construction starting. The system and process they use helps reduce change orders and the fear of not knowing what the project should look like. With most people being very visual this is very important. They communicate and listen to the clients extremely well and I would highly recommend them to anyone looking to design a project for both residential and commercial construction ! **Comment from GMT Home Designs Inc.:** > Thanks Joe for your review! We love working with Remodelwerks! **★★★★★ — Lenny Gillis, Dec. 2017** > We have had the privilege of working with GMT Home Designs since 2009. The GMT team is able to listen to our client's vision and create it. The visual display of our projects using their 3D design software has been extremely valuable in giving our clients a clear understanding of what their project will look like and in opening up lines of communication regarding both design and construction. We look forward to many more years of working with GMT Home Designs. **Comment from GMT Home Designs Inc.:** > Thanks Lenny! We look forward to many more years working with Colony Home Improvement as well! **★★★★★ — Dana and Gina Arthur, March 2017** > We worked with Glenn and his team at GMT Home Designs to design an addition for our home to create an open concept kitchen, great room, mudroom, and re-purpose our old living room space into a first floor master suite. Glenn was extremely thorough in listening to our ideas and translating them into plans. Glenn was able to present us with conceptual designs in 3D color images and a virtual walking tour to allow us to see our ideas come to life. This 3D tour was extremely valuable for us to visualize the new space with furnishings and provide scale. Glenn is a true professional with the patience and flexibility to work through the design process with us. **Comment from GMT Home Designs Inc.:** > Dana and Gina - Thanks so much for your terrific review!
