Beardsley Architects + Engineers
Architects, Architecture Firms, & Building Designers in Jay
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsMay 3, 2017
“Michael N. Reynolds AIA and Staff at Beardsley architects and engineers are dynamic, engaging and alive with tremendous kinetic "positive" energy and engineering amplitude. The "team" exhibited an exceptional structural knowledge base with precision timeline efficiency coupled with an empathic cost conscious protocol. Michael's "Adirondack architectural style" kinesthetic/visual sense of position and wholeness transcended my dream project into "breath taking" results. All correspondence was fast paced yet professional. If your looking for an architect that can deliver, look no further! I look forward to my next project with the team at Beardsley.”
Adirondack Design

Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsNovember 7, 2013
“Michael Bird is a very talented and knowledgeable Architect specializing in Adirondack style homes. He designed our home and garage, obtained all permits, hired top contractors and supervised the entire construction and landscape project. The finished product is amazing. His attention to detail is impeccable. He and his staff are a pleasure to work with. They kept us up to date with progress reports and photos and met all deadlines. We are so very happy with the way our home turned out and would highly recommend Michael Bird and Adirondack Design. We will be working with Michael in the Spring of 2014 on a boathouse.”

“Working with Kristen L'Esperance was a great pleasure. She helped me hone in on new ideas and concepts for our addition that I had never even considered. She's extremely professional, creative, and a real outside-the-box kind of thinker - just what I was looking for. I would recommend her to anyone who is looking for a great designer with a real eye and practical, simple solutions that fit your everyday life. Couldn't recommend her more!”

Paul Francis Shurtleff Architect
Architects, Architecture Firms, & Building Designers in Jay
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsDecember 17, 2013
“Paul is able to creat what you want, not what he wants. He listens to your ideas, & then creates it. He doesn't make you put a signature item in to show its his work. He has a keen eye for natural light, functionality, & usability. If you want incredible he's done it, if you want stupid simple it's not a problem. He wants clients to enjoy what's created for years to come. He is honest, detailed, & you won't just use him once. J”

“Andrew Chary is an artist who is also an architect. His architectural designs go beyond the imaginative to the breathtaking. His attention to every detail sets him apart from all others in his field. Words don't adequately describe his design achievements--one must view his work. Get ready to be blown away!”

Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsSeptember 21, 2012
“When adding a new addition to our traditional farmhouse, MaryBeth did an excellent job addressing our concerns of keeping the historical aesthetic . Easy to work with, creative and professional, we'd definitely recommend her to others who are looking to add onto an existing home and wondering how they can remodel and not lose the "feel" of their original house.”

“Melissa designed a kitchen and vertical addition to my 1820 brick one-room schoolhouse in Vermont. She was super thoughtful to find ways to preserve the original timber framing of the roof while maximizing the interior space for storage, second bedroom and office. The kitchen is almost finished and is a dream to work in. I haven't done the tower/dormer construction yet, but I dream about it daily!”

Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsSeptember 21, 2012
“We recently had a 1400 square foot house built . We were were not sure we could get everything we needed in such a small space. But our budget would not allow for anything larger. This is our retirement home so it needed to work for a long time Cliff designed a house that has everything we need and nothing we don't . I didn't fully appreciate it unti I moved in . It looks and feels much more spacious- plenty of storage, a dream kitchen and a really special wood details . . Our house is on a lake and Cliff made sure the design took advantage of the views . He is a really excellent architect .”

Is the scope of your home design project beyond simply replacing countertops or flooring? It’s the responsibility of a Jay home architect to transform human needs and desires into visual concepts and habitable structures. When you hire an architectural designer, you are not only hiring someone for their architectural services, but also to manage and coordinate other parties involved in the project. As you search through local Jay, NY architectural firms and designers, keep in mind the following tips to help you choose the perfect one: 

How do I find the best Jay residential design architect for my project?


It is best to hire a residential architect who will be involved in all phases of the design process, from the initial concept to the completed construction. They are often the first person you will hire for your project, and it's common for architects' contractors, or subcontractors, to prefer working with one another, which means better relationships and smoother work on your home. Interior architects are also involved in negotiating contracts for all involved participants, from builders, to engineers and even landscapers. It is for these reasons that it is extremely important for you to have a good relationship with the Jay residential architect you hire. He or she can be the tie-breaking vote between you and the general contractor and can be your biggest advocate during the construction process. Different residential architecture firms in Jay, NY provide different services, so the scope of the work can span from pre-design environmental impact studies to selecting furniture and finishes, depending on what your specific needs are.

Questions to ask prospective Jay interior architects:


  • What is your fee structure?
  • What does the cost include?
  • Do you have professional liability insurance?
  • Can you handle my special requests (ADA, LEED etc.)?
  • What types of renderings (3D, video, illustrative) will you produce?
  • What is your experience with similar projects?
  • When do you expect to start and be finished with the project?
  • What do your services include? (It's best that the services are until construction is completed.)
  • What happens when the cost exceeds the budget?
  • Can you provide me with references?
  • Would you say your work has a defining style? (This is important in case the architect's personal style will interfere with your vision.)
  • Will you help with hiring a general contractor and subcontractors?
  • What do you estimate the cost will be?
  • What will I need to provide?
  • Are there any complications you foresee with this project?
