“From the time we first met Scott in person, we felt completely confident in his abilities to help us design our first home. Scott was extremely personable and made us feel at ease throughout the entire process, which was no easy feat since we have little experience with the home design process. He is very knowledgeable in Michigan code and energy-efficient homes and made some great suggestions on how we could increase the R value of the house, which was very important to us. He offered advice about which type of insulation to use, what windows would be most cost-effective yet eco-friendly and how geothermal could be used in our home. He also pointed out some flaws in the floor plan we brought as inspiration and helped us design a well thought out, functional layout that will for our family for years to come. On the exterior, he offered many ideas on how to give a new build some character and make it feel inviting. Scott delivered our plans very quickly and when we had revisions, they were done promptly. When we decided to change the roof pitch to add more head space to the second story of our cape cod, he called to discuss truss design and potential increased home costs to ensure we were making the best decision. I would highly recommend Scott to anyone looking for a passionate, talented architect that has your best interests in mind. He is prompt, professional and detail oriented and his plans were outstanding. Our house will be built over the next 9 months and I cannot wait to see his vision come to life!”

“Having enjoyed the opportunity to collaborate with Rob on several homes, we wholeheartedly recommend CBI Designs for the quality and professionalism of their work. Their attention to both detail and client requirements, apparent within each home, is truly what separates CBI Design Professionals. We look forward to working with Rob and CBI in the near future!

“Studio Z was the architect on a large home remodel project in which I was the interior designer. It was great working with Dawn. She was very easy to communicate with, very personable, and very open to collaborating with me on design ideas. I know that the clients on this project spoke very highly of Dawn as well. They thought of her as both friendly and professional. The home turned out beautifully and I know that the clients love the end result. They could not have been more pleased with her work. I would highly recommend Studio Z Architecture to anyone.”

“Joe's talent as an architect shines in his ability to create a aesthetically beautiful structure with comfortable and livable proportions. On more than one occasion, I have witnessed Joe's client presenting mixed signals in their tastes and budgets, yet Joe has been able to deliver a phenomenal design on the first draft. Equally as important, he treats his clients who are looking for marquis new homes with the same respect and thoughtfulness as those looking for a simple addition.”

“Our architect of many years retired just prior to our decision to build a new house. We were concerned about using a new architect on such a big project but my husband and I were impressed with Jenna the first time we met her. Jenna understood our vision and worked patiently with us throughout the entire project. Jenna is creative and professional and we will definitely call on her the next time we need an architect.”

“Patrick is a strong communicator and an attentive listener. He balances both with kindness and confidence. When working with Patrick, the focus is not on himself, but on the client and their project experience, parameters and preferences. Patrick engages his clientele in dialogue to establish a strong understanding of who they are and how they live. I am so thankful to know Patrick and to have welcomed him back to West Michigan since his latest move from Birmingham.”

“MainStreet Design Build is an extremely talented and professional firm. That's our kitchen in the Baldwin picture. Our craftsman style house was built in 1922. We love it for all of the woodwork and charm inside. We therefore needed a company that would respect and complement the historic style of our home, but update the kitchen with more space and ammenities for the way we function as a family today (kitchens were very small back in 1922!). We got all of that and more. We have incredible cabinetry with custom wood work and we love our eat in area. The kitchen totally flows with the rest of our home, but really is our crown jewel. We still "WOW" friends when they walk into the kitchen - it is absolutely beautiful and timeless and I wouldn't change a thing. MainStreet's incredible vision and their attention to detail are their greatest assets. From the beginning of the project until the end, the MainStreet staff was engaged and focused on us as the customer. We highly recommend MainStreet and would hire them again in a second - they truly are experts at what they do! ”
