    Ryan Duebber Architect, LLC
    Architects, Architecture Firms, & Building Designers in Dayton
    Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsOctober 17, 2012
    “Ryan Duebber designed a powder room remodel including custom wood mirror frame, cabinet and shelf; copper sink, toilet, faucet, stone wall and stone/wood floor. He listened carefully to my requests. He created with thoughtful consideration to make the new design meld with the rest of the house, be a beautiful gem, and be completely functional. In his design he was able to solve all the potential problems I had thought of. He has terrific color sense and knowledge of materials and construction, was timely and within budget. He also was great help in resolving with the contractor a few issues that came up with the installation. Ryan was creative, professional, friendly, upbeat, thoughtful. The room now looks beautiful, beyond what I could imagine from the plans. My all around good experience was well worth his fee. Total project (design, materials, install) cost about $12,000.”

    “Sheri Scott listened attentively to our vision of the modern home that we wanted, something rather unusual in this area of the Midwest. She then went to work designing, modifying, and putting her unique stamp on the plan for our new home. She outlined the process clearly in the beginning so there were no surprises either financially or on the timeline. We could not have been more pleased with her plan and attention to us as clients.”

    Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsOctober 8, 2013
    “Sally designed our house with the style, function and design features we were wanting in such a short time! She was able to read our needs and our personalities and construct a home that we could've never imagined! She stayed within our design aesthetics however added her own twist that really was the icing on the cake. She also worked well with our builder, designer and was a team player with the sub-contractors that also touched the house. We were so very pleased with the project and would highly recommend her to others.”

Matt is creative and extremely knowledgeable about the building process all the way through. Offering us many options to accomplish our goals. Most importantly Matt listened to what we wanted and understood how we lived and has created beautiful, comfortable , spaces for my family! Would highly recommend Matt and wouldn't think of using another architect!”

    “We looked on Houzz for an architectural firm to help us design our dream home. We contacted several businesses and only heard back from McConnell and Ewing... And heard from them the same day. This company begins your dream build with plans and stays with you to help find contractors you're comfortable with to build your home. They actually stay with you till your project is completed. We are currently working with Brad and we couldn't be more pleased. We are doing our design and build in stages. He works at our pace and we don't feel rushed at all to complete our project in a specific time frame. Brad came out to out build site and spent the entire day creating a floor plan that we were happy with. Then he staked the property to make sure our design would fit. I would recommend this company to those looking for a fresh idea. We are really pleased with our experience so far.”

    “We have had the privilege of working with Studiyo-B Design on several projects over the last couple years. Todd is a hands on architect who gives our clients great ideas and feedback on their projects. He provides detailed preliminary plans which allows us to get solid bids for the scope of work to be completed. His construction drawings possess key points being called out to ensure our clients satisfaction and the culmination of a superior finished product.”
    Wilcox Architecture

    Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsMay 22, 2013
    “We had an excellent experience with Tom Wilcox. We hired him to draw up plans for a Master Bedroom and Bath for our 1940's Cape Cod style home. Tom was extremely creative with our space and kept with the feel and style of our home. He was always professional, friendly, listened to our ideas and understood our needs. He was "spot on" when we were concerned that we could even afford such a project. He had a great working relationship with our contractor and the construction was seamless. We could not be happier with the end result. Thank You Wilcox Architecture!”
