My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

“Lauren has collaborated with my remodeling business on a couple projects so far and the experience has been great! Overall, her eye for design and attention to detail make the performed work look amazing and she does an excellent job of communicating to the both the clients and my team. I highly recommend her architectural services for projects that include purpose built spaces, lighting design, and functionality. I look forward to working with her again soon!

“From Day One Tyler was on the same page as we were—he was such a pleasure to work with! We knew we wanted a local builder because we live far away and are not in Maine in the winter. Tyler had built a beautiful house down the road from us so he was our first call. He worked with us on several plan options and was ready to jump in when we finally made up our minds to go ahead with the project. The cost and the schedule were clear and he tracked everything all the way through. Texting and photos made things easy, with just a few on-site check-ins from us during the off season. His subs were fantastic and the job site was always neat as a pin (all of our neighbors commented on this). We really like where the house is sited and everything about it is just what we were hoping for.”

“We finally made up our minds to renovate our main bathroom. Needing some advice we reached out to Lisa Destefano and her team for some help. We found them to be professional, accommodating, and very knowledgeable. They helped us to design a plan and offered insight to what to expect with the project. Although our project wasn’t as big as others we were treated like it was the most important to Lisa and her team. In the end the bathroom can out great and we could be happier.”
