Michelle Drollette Architect

We hired Michelle to do our farmhouse kitchen renovation. It was a very complicated job as we had to start by ripping up the floor, digging out the crawl space, poring concrete, etc. before anything else got done. Windows had to be reconfigured, walls insulated, and so on. The photos of the farmhouse kitchen are posted on her site. It was a wonderful job and we have been very happy with it. Everyone who comes over compliments us on it. She has extensive experience on the job and designing a wide variety of projects. She is easy to work with as well as professional. She also has a wonderful contractor and dependable subs. We highly recommend Michelle for any type of project. We have seen several of her whole house renovations and they are amazing.

Michelle did a great job planning for a major home renovation, selecting contractos, and following up to make sure that the contractor was doing the job correctly. Because she had familiarity with my geographic area, she considered such things as sewage backups, drainage, and local zoning. Her constant site visits were invaluable to having the project completed correctly. The job included installing central HVAC to a turn of the century home with no prior instalation, as well as a complete finishing of a basement which had never been finished. The end product ended up having all the beauty and functionality as I could have hoped for.

I live in an old farm house that has undergone numerous remodeling projects. The result was a mishmash of living spaces, problems with heating and plumbing, and lots of wasted spaces. Ms. Drollette created a master plan to address those issues, created more living spaces, and also created much needed storage areas. She started with my ideas and added her considerable skills, knowledge, and creative ideas to change my problem house into a unique space, creating lots of storage areas, and solving heating and plumbing problems. One such example was to create a Master Bedroom suite including a walk-in closet and bathroom. Another was the creation of a large kitchen pantry, which went with the style of the house and created much needed storage area. She helped me turn my house into my dream home that far exceeded my expectations.

I have worked with Michelle several times within the last few years. Her impeccable taste, style and designs solutions are very well thought out. She makes the most of the space and is very creative. Michelle is very professional and will go above and beyond to meet your needs step by step throughout the project. I will continue to recommend Michelle as she will get the job done in a timely and professional manor. .

Michelle is a true professional, with great attention to detail and also extremely creative. She is a good listener and organizes her projects with the clients needs in mind first, being very mindful of the budget as well. She communicates well and is friendly and a pleasure to work with. I highly recommend her!

Michelle is wonderful to work with. I've recommended her to many clients. All of my work is residential and budget driven. She knows knows how to design within the budget and has a keen sense of what is practical. I appreciate the amount of hands on experience that Michelle has, more then any architect I have worked with. I have found that my clients enjoy working with her as well.

Michelle has done MANY jobs for me over the last 8 years. I am a landlord with multiple apartments so these include: 2 full kitchen renovations and 3 kitchen "refreshes", bathroom renovations, drawing up plans and many different general home improvements. I keep hiring her because her design ideas are great, she is cost conscious about materials, is on-time, on budget and a great communicator about the project while it is happening. One of the things I like most about her work is that she has a great personal design sense. I don't have a problem trusting her to make choices - colors, materials, hardware - on her own and I always like the result. I recommend her without reservation for any project. (The pictures aren't great, but in one she installed a marble kitchen counter top and the other is a full kitchen renovation)
