    Featured Reviews for Drafting Companies in Portland Maine

    Reiter Architecture & Design
    Drafting Companies in Portland Maine
    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.”

    Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsAugust 9, 2017
    “We enjoyed working with Brandon and his staff. He and Cecelia were able to answer the many questions we had with great explanations. Though we only had a few basic ideas for our house, they created multiple options for us to consider. Our project has a few unique aspects. Brandon and crew worked with us to integrate these aspects into a cohesive and personalized design. We highly recommend Winter Holben!”

    Salmon Falls Partners
    Drafting Companies in Portland Maine
    Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsJune 18, 2013
    “For more than two years commencing in August 2002 I worked with Hope and Brad of Salmon Falls Woodworks to restore and renovate a large c1725 house my husband and I purchased in 2001. We lived in the house throughout the project, and what could have been fraught with tension and difficulty was a wonderful adventure. There is not a room in the house that they did not touch with their skill and care. The kitchen and laundry area presented a major design and construction challenge, but Brad and Hope transformed a warren of small dark rooms into a beautiful, sunny space that functions perfectly for two active cooks. While remaining true to the spirit and aesthetic of the house this space now has 21st century efficiency and satisfies our modern desire to connect the interior with the garden and landscape beyond. It was a delight to work with two people whose high standards matched my own. Hope and Brad are experienced craftsmen who work with great sensitivity, conscientiousness and integrity. Further, their design and execution skills for both cabinet making and general construction are unmatched in my experience. Any client is well advised to trust Salmon Falls Woodworks to deliver a beautifully executed project.”
    Maugel DeStefano Architects
    Drafting Companies in Portland Maine
    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”
    Whipple | Callender Architects
    Drafting Companies in Portland Maine
    Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsMarch 18, 2014
    “We hired Anne Callender as the architect for our remodel of the Wolf Cove Inn in Poland Maine. We walked through our thoughts on desired changes but also asked Anne to think "outside the box" of what we described. We eventually selected one of her outside the box ideas and couldn't be happier with the result. Anne stuck with us along the way through the design, permitting and demolition process until we had a complete set of drawings that satisfied out needs as well as those of our tradesman and the regulatory authorities. The quality of her work and support were outstanding.”
    Graham Architects
    Drafting Companies in Portland Maine
    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.”
