ADU Contractors in Cambria County

“We are writing to wholeheartedly recommend Timothy (Tim) Strosser of Studio 810 Design as a designer and general contractor for home improvement. In 2012, we met Tim at the Philadelphia Home Show, and were impressed by Tim’s portfolio of previous designs and building projects. On his first visit to our home in the Philadelphia suburbs Tim impressed us again with his instant understanding of our home improvement needs. We wanted to build a new bathroom in a little-used space that was attached to our master bedroom, but Tim suggested a much better solution; building an addition to the house’s second floor, and placing the bathroom in it. This way we got a fabulously looking new master bathroom that is an envy of our friends and neighbors, and avoided a mistake of building a bathroom that would be to small and not convenient. Timothy also designed and built for us a mudroom in front of our house, completely redesigned and rebuilt our patio, and changed the siding all around the house. We are very satisfied with the quality of his design and workmanship of his crew. Tim is a very experienced project manager, and he worked hard to accommodate our specific requirements during the project and to adjust all the logistics accordingly. He was able to keep the project deadlines despite very unfavorable weather conditions, the climax of which was Hurricane Sandy. During the project we occasionally changed our mind regarding some details (e.g., selection of tiles), and Tim was always ready to either accept our new ideas or, when they were not practical, offer very good alternatives. During the project we developed a trusting, friendly relationship with Timothy and many of his crew members. We were so satisfied with our collaboration with Tim that, after the first big project was completed, we tasked him with a couple of smaller projects in our house (e.g., staircase renovation), and outside (landscaping). We are sure that, with his great artistic taste, his extensive technical experience, and his understanding of individual clients’ characters and preferences, Timothy can exceed expectations of the most demanding clients. We already recommended the services of Studio 810 to our neighbors, and we recommend them to you.”

“We recently completed a vacation home in Grand Lake with RJ Design Homes (Ryan Johnson) as our General Contractor. The home is ~4000 sf and the cost to build was >$1M. The design is what we are calling rustic elegance with exposed timbers, moss rock, rough sawn hardwood floors, etc. but with a balance of upper end travertine, slate, and alder. The quality of construction is exceptional and Ryan's attention to detail is really what sets him apart from other builders we interviewed. Beyond the build quality, Ryan was always doing research on design elements that we wanted to incorporate but were exceptionally expensive and either finding alternative options or building what we needed himself. One of the focal points of the house is a +30 ft moss rock fireplace that Ryan hand picked the stone for and is amazing. Many of the design touches were ones that he came up witwh along the way that really add to the house (live edge counter tops in the kitchen and bar area that tie into the timber beams and granite counters). There are three large timber trusses in the great room that he designed and built that are outstanding and a really a conversation piece and then the lower level has a custom stained/acid washed concrete that is beautiful. There were a number of challenges along the way between the architects design and the engineering that didn't always work correctly but Ryan was able to find a way to resolve the issues without compromising our vision for the house. As you can tell, we are extremely pleased with Ryan and how well our project turned out.”

“I upgraded my powder room and had a great experience, They are helpful, courteous and very professional. From the receptionist to the installers, the project went well. Three years ago, they completely re-designed my kitchen and I'm still thrilled with it. I can recommend them with no reservations.”
