“The project that EBCON Co. did for me wrapped up about a week ago. I thought they did an excellent job. The project was to design and build an ensuite addition to my house for my disabled sister, who will be moving in with me in a couple of months. I hired EBCON for the project as they had done my home remodel when I moved into my current house 10 years ago. I was very happy with that project and pleased that several of their key personnel and subcontractors were the same as for my previous project. The current project consisted of a bedroom/studio, bath, hallway/study, walk-through clothes closet, lots of storage space, and small outdoor patio with wheelchair ramp. As my sister is an artist and art teacher, we asked for a design that provided high walls for hanging her paintings and extra space in the bedroom/studio for her to paint and potentially teach a few students. The design process went very well. The designer worked constructively with us and made numerous trips to tile, stone, and carpet stores with us to select materials. We greatly appreciated the detailed plan skeches she generated, some of which showed my sister’s paintings up on the walls in her bedroom/studio! Challenges, including access to the addition through existing bedrooms and integrating the design with the existing house, were solved well. ADA guidelines for accessibility were strictly followed for the design and materials. We – and all our family and friends - love the design and how it has turned out. The construction work was very high quality – EBCON has very high standards for the work done on their projects, including for the smallest details. The EBCON team and the sub-contractors they brought in were great to work with through all the stages, including design, construction, and completion. In addition to weekly on-site progress meetings (which included the project manager, superintendent, designer, and often the head of the company), I was kept informed on a daily basis about what was happening and the timing for next steps. EBCON staff were always on site while work was being done, and they were always reachable for conversations. Overall we are very happy with the project. I would definitely use EBCON again were I to have another project, and I recommend them without reservation to anyone planning a large or small home construction or renovation project.”

“We started working with ODS in the middle of the pandemic to do a whole home remodel. Having never done anything remotely like this before, ODS guided us through the entire process and were an invaluable resource and partner in all the decisions that we needed to make for a project of this size. Even though we didn't have a clear idea of what we wanted at the beginning and our ideas changed throughout the process, we ended up with a home that we absolutely love living in. When we receive compliments on the design of our house, we are always quick to give credit to ODS for their vision of what could be done. ODS steadily moved the project through the numerous city requirements of planning reviews, neighborhood meetings, and permitting. They were great about knowing how to gently (sometimes directly) guide us towards good choices that we now recognize make a huge difference in how we use our space. Anytime we had questions, needed more information, or encountered issues with the project, ODS was quick to respond and offer solutions. We really can't say enough about how great our experience has been with ODS and how pleased we are with the end result.”

“As I look at our kitchen 2 years after my remodel, I couldn’t be happier with the outcome. Sometimes when you’ve lived with something for awhile, you think, “oh, I wish I would have...”. Not the case after our kitchen remodel. We had a basic idea of what we wanted but without the expertise and experience from Blair Barry, I know it would not have turned out as spectacular as it did. Blair was so easy to work with and his ideas and plans were spot on to what we wanted out kitchen to be(even though he knew what we wanted more than we actually did), We worked so well with Blair that it made the whole process much easier than I’d ever imagined. He also was always there to help the contractor. What we really love about the kitchen is not only how it fits our lifestyle ecsuse we live in the kitchen but how it really is a timeless design. I have seen so many kitchens that outdated so quickly. Everyone who comes to see ours wants to know who the architect was because it looks so fresh and timeless. Thank you Blair for making our time in the kitchen that much better!”
