Korbich Architects LLC

My husband and I were looking for someone to help design our home renovation. On the same footprint, with help from Korbich Architects, we were able to convert our second floor from 2 bedrooms/no bathroom to 3 bedrooms/1 bathroom and a laundry room. Jennifer and Steve were professional and a pleasure to work with. They listened to our needs and tried to make things work as efficiently as possible. We highly recommend them.

We were extremely lucky to have had Jennifer Korbich as our architect for the remodel of our 1941 Cape Cod home. The job was significant and included removing walls, putting in a new kitchen and three new bathrooms, redesigning the master bedroom, earthquake retrofitting, and updating the mechanicals. After creating detailed plans of the existing space and taking the time to understand our priorities, Jennifer came up with a wonderful design that brought the house into the present while honoring its past. Her careful up-front work along with her experience with older homes paid off as our project moved from design to remodel. It was amazing to see her design come to life and we absolutely love the results.

We were very pleased with the professionalism and attention to detail we received from Korbich Architects for our kitchen remodel. Jennifer and Stpehen were knowledgeable about how to efficiently lay out the kitchen, help with size of drawers and cupboards we would need to store items in our kitchen, window placement and lighting placement. We gutted the existing kitchen, had to take out a wall, put in a support beam and rearrange the appliances. The process from listening to our vision for our new kitchen, coming up with plans and executing the remodel went very smoothly! I would highly recommend Korbich Architects for your remodeling job!

We worked with Jennifer Korbich for the architectural design for the remodel of our kitchen, basement and conversion of garage space to storage/laundry/powder room. Jennifer provided several 3D design options and was very patient as our ideas of design evolved, with the plans being changed and tweaked. We also appreciated her guidance on the permitting process, and saving the budget a bit by doing it ourselves. Jennifer had recommended our contractor and her strong working relationship with them was also a plus. We would definitely use Korbich Architects again and would recommend them for their professionalism and quality work.

Steve Korbich designed a new master bathroom for us in the fall of 2013. He was uniformly pleasant and professional throughout the project--a real delight to work with. He listened to understand our needs and came up with some excellent concepts from which to choose. He helped us select an outstanding contractor to complete the work and was attentive in his oversight throughout the project. We would definitely work with him again.

I recommended Korbich Architects LLC to my clients for their basement and stair remodel project this past year. The Korbich team provided great solutions along with complete plans to bring the remodel together into an attractive and usable space. They worked well with all parties involved (clients/contractor/city/planning bureau) showing their experience, expertise and professionalism in all stages from design to construction. As a remodeling contractor working in the city of Portland, it's nice to have a reliable, well rounded architect firm of Korbich Architects LLC to call upon. Mapleleaf Carpentry LLC

Because of its location and wanting to live on one level, I bought a 1950's ranch by a well known local architect. i asked for a complete remodel of the interior including the basement. Korbich Architects have a wonderful sense of design and came up with a plan that I liked. The downside of the project was the contractor. I am very happy living in my house and most of that credit goes to the architect. The project began in Jan 2013 and I moved into my house in July of that year.

Jennifer helped us totally revive our upstairs, converting a half-bath to a full bath with a creative solution for our family. We're working with her on a second project right now, and we've been very pleased with how clearly she "gets" our aesthetic, and our budget.

Jennifer transformed our 1927 Portland home into a castle. We hired her not once but twice. In 2005, she completely redesigned the second floor of our NE bungalow. Before Jennifer, it was a long, dark room with a foam tile ceiling and knotty pine paneling. After Jennifer, it became a master bedroom suite with a master bathroom, reading nook and work space accented by big windows, beautiful skylights and buit-in closets, shelves and benches. During that remodeling project, she redesigned our first-floor bathroom choosing fixtures that worked perfectly for the space. In 2011, we asked her to work her magic on our basement, laundry room, patio, back entry and part of our kitchen. The result? Again incredible. Her solutions were well thought out and made areas of the the house much more liveable. She was a complete joy to work with throughout these complex, stressful projects. She would draw and redraw ideas to provide us with plenty of options, coach us through the permitting process, and stop by to check on the contractor's work and offer suggestions. I recommend her without reservation

Jennifer did a great job for us. We were very happy with her design work and ability to communicate her ideas to us. She also worked well with the team working on the remodel, and it came out just like we visualized it. In an old victorian, the unfinished attic space had amazing potential. My wife and I had the vague ideas that we wanted it wide open, with a walk in closet and a bathroom to make it a master bathroom suite. Jennifer came up with a unique idea to keep it open like we wanted. My wife and I couldn't visualize it, so Jennifer created a 3D interactive walkthrough to show us what she meant, and we loved it. She then worked with the team doing the remodel, and they made it happen. I didn't list how much the project cost because her role was only part of a huge project, but the space that she helped design is my favorite that I've ever been in, let alone owned. 5 stars, and a strong recommendation.
