Manion + Associates Architects, P.C.

Tom is a highly skilled architect with a strong command of proportion, detailing, and overall architectural coherence. His designs are thoughtful and refined, with a clear understanding of how architecture translates from drawings into built reality. The work is never overcomplicated, yet always intentional — a balance that leads to successful projects. From a builder’s perspective, Tom is a collaborative and pragmatic partner. His drawings are clear, his coordination is solid, and he is responsive when questions arise during construction. He approaches challenges with a solution-oriented mindset and works constructively with the field team to maintain both design intent and project momentum. What stands out most is Tom’s professionalism and respect for the collaborative process. He advocates for his clients while maintaining a productive, team-first relationship with the builder, which ultimately results in smoother projects and stronger outcomes. We value our working relationship with Tom Manion and Manion Architects and look forward to continuing our collaboration on future projects. We would confidently recommend him to homeowners and professionals seeking an architect who is experienced, thoughtful, and a true partner in the building process.

It was great to work with Tom Manion and his associates on this extensive home renovation project. They brought good creative ideas to us and were patient as we went through drawings and made adjustments. They tied the new elements of the renovation to fit in with the rest of the house and added some architecturally interesting touches, including a stone wall, to the front. We were pleased with the quality of the contractors that they recommended, providing us with two excellent options to consider. Since we were living at home during the renovation, we also appreciated the fact that the project was completed on time.

Manion and Associates puts the the utmost of care into every design they undertake. They are meticulous in their approach, and all their efforts are directed towards customer satisfaction. Tom Manion, the president of the firm, cares for each project as if it were his own. Finecraft Contractors has enjoyed a long-lasting relationship with Manion and Associates and looks forward to more opportunities of working together.

Working with Tom and his staff was a breeze. From the first meeting to the last Tom listened and understood our dreams and visions and always found a way to make it work. In additions, Tom and his associates were very courteous and responsive to all our requests while staying calm and professional even when we would subjected him to our many quarrelsome family meetings. We also had many challenges with our builder but were relieved to have Tom on our side when an issue needed attention. In the end we continue to enjoy our new space and constantly remark how well the design turned out. John B
