SKM Design LLC

Stacy has an incredible way of understanding your vision and making it come to life in a way that exceeds expectations. She is patient, honest and advocates for you like it's her own home while overseeing a remodel.

We used Stacy and her services for all parts of our project; architecture and planning, project management, and design. We could not be happier with the end result. For background, our project was a full home renovation with a 8’x25’ two story addition off the back of house. It centered on a new open kitchen/dining room, addition of a 5th bedroom, two bathrooms and touched every room in the house. It included all new windows and siding as well. Stacy first met with us to hear what we wanted to do, what our priorities were and what our budget was. She came back with an initial set of ideas and layouts. She listened to all our feedback and we talked through what different options could be. As we finalized plan layouts and engineering requirements, she helped us with the proposal process, bringing multiple builders through to give a range of options. This was a very detailed and complex process that Stacy made effortless on us. Once we broke ground, Stacy was there every step of the way helping us choose materials and managing the collaboration between of all the subs. She provided us with lists of items we could pick and shop for on our own (appliances, fixtures) while assisting us with some of the larger decisions (cabinets, counters, bathroom tile). All her services here made our lives much simpler. Ultimately, our project was done on time, on budget and far surpassed all our expectations. None of that would have been possible without her, her design and creativity, and her management expertise. She brought together an amazing set of craftsmen and ideas to give us the home of our dreams. We wouldn’t change a thing and would recommend her to anyone.

It's amazing how many compliments we get on our house. Unfortunately, I can't take any of the credit. It all goes to Stacy. She was amazing to work with and has incredible taste. She worked with us to create a style that was what we wanted. She didn't force her aesthetic on us in any way. She made it easy. And we genuinely love living in the house she helped create. I hope to never move, but if I do, Stacy will be my first call...

Stacy has done several projects for us, first with a small built-in closet/shelving redesign back in NJ, then with a complete interior rebuild of our home when we moved states, then a deck the following year, and finally designing an addition and redesigning the exterior a few years later. Each project was meticulously planned, beautifully designed, and thoughtfully executed. She oversees contractors and also manages purchases and deliveries for the project if you're busy. We cannot recommend Stacy and her company highly enough.

We hired SKM Design to remodel our entire house, both existing spaces and additions. Stacy and the contractors she recommended were everything we could have asked for, creative and professional and a pleasure to go through this adventure with. I highly recommend SKM Design.

We highly recommend using SKM Design for any renovation project! We purchased a 1928 colonial with 5500 sq ft that needed a full renovation. We were never planning to purchase an older home until we walked into a friend’s house of the same era and we were inspired by the renovation by SKM Design and we knew we could make an older home into the home of our dreams if we could work with Stacy Millman. We wanted to retain the character of the exterior of an older home but an interior space that was fresh and modern but homey and spoke to who we are and how we live our lives all at the same time. It was a very big ask of any professional and it was a long process that took over a year but the end result was much more than we could have imagined for our family. Stacy is a true professional. Not only is she a talented architect but she is also wonderful at listening and hearing what the client wants and making the dream become a reality and NEVER making it feel unattainable or like it is a burden. In our opinion this quality is a true gift. She not only wildly talented but is thoughtful and gracious as well. There are simply no words to express how happy we were to work with Stacy and how confident we are to recommend her!

Be assured that you will be in excellent hands with Stacy at SKM Design. We can not recommend her highly enough! We did not use an architect or designer for our previous 2 renovations and I wish we had known Stacy then. We literally have no regrets with the layout or design choices in our current house. We have a 1920’s traditional colonial and she was excellent at marrying the character of our older home with today’s modern amenities. She leaves no stone unturned, keeps her eyes on the budget, works quickly, is a task master and will come up with a design plan that fits your lifestyle and budget. Stacy will also help you refine or identify your aesthetic if you don’t already have one. For our renovation, she facilitated the bidding process and managed our project every step of the way. She was able to recommend 3 builders for the bidding and a slew of tradespeople. She‘s also a joy to work with and an outstanding human being- you will love having her around.
