Featured Reviews for Architects, Architecture Firms, & Building Designers in Dayton

BRIBURN – Architecture for Life
Architects, Architecture Firms, & Building Designers in Dayton
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsFebruary 26, 2015
“We took on Briburn for a substantial new residential project on the basis of their website and their stated philosophy, and a 2 hour interview/discussion. As our first and only choice, they clearly stood out among a dozen other architects in the area. We are in the midst of planning now and the process is almost painless. Their guidance is gentle and considerate; their knowledge of "green" building practices is vast. I'm eagerly looking forward to the next steps in this adventure with Briburn.”
By Design
Architects, Architecture Firms, & Building Designers in Dayton
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsAugust 25, 2013
“We highly recommend architect Bruce Butler of By Design. He has been wonderful to work with, and we are delighted with our new home. We had never built a house before--nor did we think it was in the cards for us to do so--so we were complete novices when we began. Bruce was very patient with our lack of knowledge and did an excellent job of educating us on the process. Based on information he gathered from us, he presented us with an initial plan that matched our vision! After that, our discussions with him were primarily regarding materials and finishes. Our dealings with Bruce were done from a distance as we lived a half-dozen states away from our building site. Regardless of this, the process was seamless. Bruce also effectively acted on our behalf with the town Planning Board and Code Enforcement Officer. Without making a single change, they signed off on our plans the very night he presented them. He also participated in our meetings with prospective builders and made field trips to see their work. Additionally, he was very proactive on pursuing cost- and energy-saving options. We interviewed other architects before selecting Bruce. After the fact, one of the other firms asked us whom we selected. We told them and they said, "Bruce does great work, I think you'll be in good hands." There’s no question that we were!”
Reiter Architecture & Design
Architects, Architecture Firms, & Building Designers in Dayton
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsSeptember 2, 2021
“We used Lauren for a complete remodel including kitchen, multiple bathrooms, playroom, and bedroom. We used her for complete architectural and interior design. She was with us from start to finish of the project and we owe the success to her. Lauren has great design skills which is completely obvious by viewing her portfolio. The equally as helpful (and likely more important) skills that she brings to the table are her attention to detail and her perseverance in dealing with the contractors. She is there at every meeting to crack the proverbial whip and is very responsive (NYC responsive ;) to email/ phone/ text. I have and will continue to recommend her without reservation.”
Tuscher Design Group

Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsFebruary 16, 2019
“Tuscher Design Group is always a pleasure to work with. Their attention to detail and ability to communicate the clients needs to the professionals they work with is second to none. I highly recommend TDG and look forward to working with them in the future.”
Maugel DeStefano Architects
Architects, Architecture Firms, & Building Designers in Dayton
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsMay 21, 2014
“We hired DeStefano Architects to assist us with drawings and permitting on a property we were renovating in the Historic District of Portsmouth. We saw the value in their services and actually had them represent us with the Historic Commission as well. They were professional and responsive throughout the entire process. We couldn't have been more pleased with the work and service they provided. We're looking forward to working with Lisa and her amazing team on the next project. Brian A. Cressy Managing Partner, Firepoint Properties, LLC”

Delano Architecture
Architects, Architecture Firms, & Building Designers in Dayton
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsMarch 19, 2015
“Review for Chris Delano - Art of Space Chris did a wonderful job designing our new lake house so that views of the lake can be seen from our main living areas including the master bedroom. We were pleased with his creative ideas which included the use of upper windows that allow extra light to filter in throughout the day. He not only was the architect but was involved in the management of the project. Chris was excellent to work with and he and the general contractor worked very well together. Chris is a gifted architect and a man of integrity.”

Robert A. Lenahan Architect AIA PLLC
Architects, Architecture Firms, & Building Designers in Dayton
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsNovember 12, 2014
“It is my pleasure to write a review for Robert Lenahan. We hired Robert to help us with the renovation of our kitchen. I cannot say enough about Roberts thoroughness, his knowledge and understanding of what we were hoping to accomplish, his strong work ethic and above all, his ability to listen to his clients and make them feel comfortable and secure in decisions that were being made. Roberts gregarious personality is a bonus when it comes to working with other professionals. I would recommend anyone looking for a wonderful outcome to their project to hire Robert Lenahan. We are thrilled with our new kitchen and we are grateful to Robert for his professional expertise!”
Graham Architects
Architects, Architecture Firms, & Building Designers in Dayton
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsAugust 12, 2015
“Graham Architects designed our beautiful and unique home. Mr. Graham was always professional, friendly, reasonable, and worked with the builders to help reduce building costs. He was flexible, patient and helpful with our changes. He has a nice even temperament and is quick to smile. Most helpful during the stress of building your home! While compatibility is very important, also is the architect's eye. Mr. Graham designed a beautiful and interesting roof line which respected our goal of honoring the Shaker style of clean simple lines. We are amazed how he could see this and put it to paper. Mr. Graham visited the building site regularly and if we were concerned about something, he visited promptly and met with the building contractors. He has designed many beautiful buildings and existing home improvements in our area.”

Is the scope of your home design project beyond simply replacing countertops or flooring? It’s the responsibility of a Dayton 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 Dayton, ME architectural firms and designers, keep in mind the following tips to help you choose the perfect one: 

How do I find the best Dayton 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 Dayton 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 Dayton, ME 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 Dayton 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?
