“Nothing but praise for Helman Sechrist Architecture: we are in a home we couldn’t even dream of (better than a ‘dream home’) - designed by Helman Sechrist! We had a design challenge - leaving behind two homes that we loved, and combining into 1 new home that would accommodate my family (husband and 3 kids) and my mom, ensuring space for everyone and universal accessibility. We looked at a few homes in our area, then we spent months looking at plans, and realized that nothing pre-drawn was going to work for our family. From my first conversation with Jeff Helman, I was confident that he understood our unique situation - he agreed that we would need to start from scratch. I realize now that this is how they design all their homes - designing spaces around the needs and wants of their clients, spaces that function perfectly and are beautiful! The journey was amazing - their process ensures they are aware of all the functions you want to accomplish in your home - before any plans are drawn. We met extensively with Jeff and Brad (Sechrist), they were alway patient and a pleasure to work with even when we were not at our best - ( imagine how hard a project is to coordinate between two people - then add a mom / mother-in-law to that mix). The staff at Helman Sechrist was there for us throughout the project - They helped us with the bidding process, helped us pick the right builder, made sure that the house was on the lot where it should be, and even talked us through the inevitable rough spots. I cannot express how much we love our new space, how perfectly it is working for us. The spaces that we are living in are just the right size, very spacious - but still cozy; never cavernous or cold. If you want a house that fits your family and your needs - not a house that you have to fit into - Helman Sechrist is well worth the investment.”

“Mark did a great job designing our home. If you want a cookie cutter house he is not the one to see. But if you want a unique home that has character Mark is the one of the best. I have had many people who have been to our home who have said WOW I love you living room and master bedroom how did you come up with these designs. Now he doesn't come cheap but I think in the end he was worth every penny. Also during the construction process he stopped by to be sure that the framers were laying everything out properly which was good because he caught a couple mistakes during the framing process.”

“We are a custom home building company and have been using Interface as our primary source for new home design and drawing for almost 30 years. I find they do an excellent job of providing the service we need in designing beautiful homes in typically a timely manner. Vern Heacock, president Town & Country Bldrs.”

“My husband and I hired Ben Greenberg, owner of Maru-Arch for a possible renovation of our kitchen, master bath, and an addition of a full bath for a child's bedroom. We had never worked with an architect before, and were unsure how the process works. However, we were immediately calmed by his website's thorough explanation of what to expect when hiring an architect, and upon meeting him we knew that Ben understood our vision. We met with Maru-Arch (Ben Greenberg) several times throughout the planning stages of the design, discussing everything from budget, to layout, to personal style. He was honest in what could practically be implemented and what might be a budgetary concern, and was helpful in suggesting alternative solutions if the current design conflicted with the existing house and budgetary limits. The best thing I can say about our experience with Ben, is his responsiveness. Any time I sent an email asking for a change to the design, or a question about layout, I was emailed back within the day.. sometimes even the hour. I always felt like he understood how important the project was to us. Ben was upfront about the cost of the different phases of the project, starting with his fees and the services he provides. For our project we met several times, went through many stages of drawings with revisions, and ultimately submitted his drawings to local contractors who submitted bids for the job. Because of the thorough experience in hiring an architect, we were able to see the pros and cons of renovating vs moving into another house.. and ultimately we decided to move, instead. But without the help of working with Ben and seeing the real cost of a renovation, we would have never known the best choice for our family. And if we ever want to renovate another House, the first person we would call, would be Maru-Arch. No matter how big or small of a project, he will understand your vision and will work tirelessly until the dream you saw in your mind is staring back at you in the form of an architectural drawing.”

“I am part of the Details Construction Group team. We've worked with Kim Abrams of Abrams Consulting Firm for the past two years. She has provided renderings and drawings for both interior and exterior projects. What we like about the partnership is that Kim works with us to meet our end goal in a personable and helpful way. It isn’t just a business transaction for her. She is responsive and timely, working with us as an extension of our team. We would highly recommend Abrams Consulting Firm and look forward to future collaborations with Kim.”

“Len was the designer of our first home in a golf community in 1997. After looking through lots and lots of Southern Living magazines for my perfect cape cod, Len was able to take our dreams and my request for a "big front porch"and designed a beautiful spacious home for us. That home was almost 5000 square feet, with five bedrooms, each with large walk-in closets, 4 1/2 baths, (and my front porch was 37' long and 9' deep-with white pillars!)and it was a great home to raise our three children. Now that we are empty nesters, we downsized to a 2600 sq. ft. home. Built in 1996 and sitting on 4.6 partially wooded acres,it is a beautiful property, but the home needed a lot of updating and walls moved around to make it feel more open and ready to entertain or just relax as a couple. Len and Lifespace Design once again came through with a plan for making this house a warm, inviting and peaceful home where we plan to stay for a long time! Our remodeled home is not quite done-we replaced the roof, all of the windows and siding, added cross heads to the windows, and made a pantry and a laundry room out of the old dining room. We also removed walls and enlarged the kitchen and family room and added a 15'x17' screened porch with a log burning fireplace, an in-ground pool, and are now remodeling the upstairs as we build a 30'x60' storage barn. Len helped us arrange the old master bedroom into a private and beautiful suite which will be for my mom when she decides to come live with us. We are creating an upstairs master suite according to the plans Len gave us. He always makes us feel comfortable adding our own touches or making changes we want to fit our needs. We were so pleased with the great value of his service for the price! I doubt we will build or remodel anytime again soon, but this is a beautiful home that we are so proud to show our friends and family thanks to Len and his expertise at making our house the perfect home. I would definitely recommend Len and Lifespace Design to any of my friends and family, whether they were doing a extensive remodel or even just some updating.”

“Viridian Architectural Design, Inc was hired to design a single family residence in a rural location where an existing home was to be demolished. The house was to be built as 'green' as possible within our budget. Working with Viridian was a pleasure. Terry Thornsbury designed the house incorporating our ideas, found local sources, provided insight and oversight during construction, helped with issues that inevitably arose, met with various vendors and contractors and subcontractors to get the project finished within our timeframe. We were happy to work with Viridian and would recommend the business to others seeking to build an energy efficient home or commercial building.”
