I have worked with Christine and her staff for many years. From a builder's perspective, I have always appreciated her approach to project design. She truly listens to what each client wants and then the project becomes as individual as the people we work for. She not only has a thorough "nuts and bolts" construction knowledge, but is well informed on our building codes as well as local land use guidelines. Christine and her associates can help clients produce an unique design, assist them through the permit process, offering support during construction phase, ending up with another happy client.

Christine and her team did an excellent job for us in every respect. She was professional, well-informed, always available, very responsive ... and a practical yet creative problem-solver. She respected the project budget parameters and always met deadlines. We would happily work with her again.

Comment from Christine M Dayton Architect:
Mr. & Mrs. Cleland - The idiom "making a silk purse out of a sow's ear" is definitely a great definition for this project! You had the insight of what it could be and together with Mike Butler as the builder, our team made it happen! It was fun converting a dark, neglected house and accessory structure into a bright, clean lined family getaway.

Working with Christine Dayton in building our house was a perfect partnership. She was responsive to our desires all the while offering her own wisdom and perspective to the project. Her office staff are top notch facilitating a smooth process from beginning to end.

Comment from Christine M Dayton Architect:
Meta & Billy - It was a pleasure working with you to create your "courtyard vision" and design a home that captures the essence of Eastern Shore living. Working with you and Bill Wroten through the construction process and seeing the finished product come together perfectly was very exciting and rewarding!

I've worked with Christine and her team on 2 major projects. The first was an extensive renovation/addition, the second on a multi-million dollar new home. I could not have been more pleased with her engagement, attention to detail and the outcome. Christine knows her craft, but even more importantly, she is a great collaborator. Listens carefully and executes impeccably. It is also worth noting that her entire team is in the game and on the ball. Everyday and in every way.

Comment from Christine M Dayton Architect:
Tom & Sheila - Like any relationship, the more time you spend with someone the more you get to know them, their lifestlye and preferences. Working with repeat clients provides the opportunity for achieving spaces that even more truly reflect the Owners vision. Working with both of you again allowed us to design a home that creatively features your eclectic interests. Bruce Harrington and his team did a spectacular execution and captured the design intent!

Christine and Team have worked with us on many projects - they are true professionals that care about their clients and their projects. They listen to what clients want and steer them in direction that is best for the client, not for the architect. They provide beautiful, practical designs, but are also excellent in the "nuts and bolts" of construction.

Christine is very detailed oriented and listens well to develop what the client wants. As a builder, I can validate her understanding of the building process and how well she interfaces the challenges of construction with the beauty of her designs.

Christine was hired for our pool renovation. She was incredibly knowledgable about every aspect of our project and was straightforward and efficient. The end product was amazing and we look forward to working with her again on any other projects.
