Baltimore, MD House Plan Professionals

“My wife and I selected Michael Nash from among five separate bids for a considerable renovation and expansion of our home. Michael Nash was the second lowest bidder, but our confidence in Sonny Nazemin’s eye for design and considerable number of award-winning designs was crucial in our initial selection. We have a grand house in Reston built in the late 1960s. It has solid bones but really needed a whole house renovation. We also needed more space to house our extended family. Our project consisted of a new two-car garage, siding, roofing and a totally new floor consisting of a master suite and bathroom. From the start of the project I was impressed with the one price upfront to complete the project. Sonny navigated our plans through the difficult process of approval by our local Design Review Board. His personal attention and negotiation with the board led to the rapid approval of our project. Follow on work for our front porch and driveway was reasonably priced. When we requested a re-design of the ceilings for the master suite, Sonny spared no expense hiring several architects to arrive at the design we desired. His vision throughout the project ensured its success. ******************* EXTRA FOLLOW-ON WORK COMPLETED jANUARY 25, 2014 *********************** We gave Michael Nash extra follow-on work with our kitchen because we were so pleased with how our Master Suite and other work turned out. We told Sonny that we had a limited budget but wanted to get as much of the kitchen done as possible. He suggested that we keep our old cabinets and redo everything else. Sonny has a great eye for design and suggested that we take out some cabinets to open up the room. He helped us with color choices that made the kitchen modern and bright. They replaced the oven, the hood, the induction cooktop, the counter, the floor, the sink, repaired and replaced doors, painted the room and put in a new lighting system with ten canned lights. Michael Nash kept to a timetable except for the hood at the end, which was really unavoidable. We are thrilled with our new kitchen and recommend Michael Nash to our neighbors and friends.”

“Chris and his crew: Brian (main carpenter & project manager), Wes (carpenter), Norm (plumber), and Scott (electrician) were absolutely fantastic. We haven't left the room since it's been finished! Chris understood our vision and executed it better than we could have imagined. He presented us with a color drawing to show us his plan for the room, which helped us to envision the room. Along the way, when the group had ideas that would add to the space, they brought them to us. More often than not, we went with those ideas. Also we had a tight timeline because we were expecting a baby & the whole crew worked with us along the way. They were extremely flexible, respectful, trustworthy, and professional at all times. We would definitely recommend them and use them again.”

“I can't say enough positive things about my experience working with Sandra and Ella Scott Design. Sandra is a practical visionary--her design instincts are impeccable, and her recommendations are grounded in the practicalities of making space usable and hospitable. Sandra was accommodating of our aesthetic, our timeline, and our budget, and she and Marci made the logistics of furnishing an entire house a piece of cake. We are very appreciative to them and hope that you have an opportunity to work with them, as well.”

“We have been working with KohlMark for multiple years. Initially, we were looking at them to architect and build a custom home for us. In the end we bought a home and worked with KohlMark to customize it to our liking. They renovated our kitchen, added two major extensions to the home as well finished our basement. We really enjoyed working with their team. Our project manager was great. We are now under contract with them to build our pool house. We would highly recommend KohlMark to anyone looking for a great architect/builder.”

“My wife and I hired Peter to re-design our house on the Sassafras River. The re-design included an entirely new second floor as well as a total remodelling of the first floor. Completing this project was more difficult than might ordinarily be the case becuase of zoning and critical area regulations and my wife's disability. Not only was the design spectacular, but Peter was of great assistance in helping us comply with those regulations, choose a contractor and resolving the unforseen problems that are part of any major renovation. The end result: a beautiful weekend home that was delivered on time and within budget.”

“When we were unable to sell our early 1900's home in a slow market, we decided we needed to expand for our expanding family. We contacted Jon to work us up some ideas. Between the limitations of little property and my need for the house to remain in keeping with the style and era of the house-I was not so sure we would be able to get what we needed. I was AMAZED at what Jon was able to vision and create for us!! We were able to get everything we needed, plus what we wanted!! I can't say enough about how happy we are in our "new" home and the number of compliments we get from our neighbors. We highly recommend Jonathan to anyone in need of a creative and innovative architect.”

“I recommended Moser Architects, PLLC to everyone looking to build or renovate in the DMV area. Sarah took our quaint Cape Cod home in North Arlington and made it into a beautiful home for a growing family. We told Sarah how we wanted to keep the charm and curb appeal that fit the neighborhood, and she surpassed our expectations. Our home could not be more functional thanks to Sarah's expertise, and we are always receiving compliments. Our open floor plan with large amounts of natural light could not be more perfect. If we ever take the plunge to purchase another home in NOVA in need of renovations, Sarah will receive the first phone call.”

“Everyone at FitzHarris Design is great to work with and Heidi especially brings her own very special perspective to the process. Her attention to the details and making sure her plans are complete is what sets her above her competition. We highly recommend this firm and look forward to working with them on many future projects.”

“We hired Seth while looking to move from Charlotte NC to Northern Va in 2008. He helped us pick out the house and then design a plan to meet our needs. A lovely Queen Anne has become more of a home to us thanks to Seth Ballard and his team. It has been over 3 years since we moved into our new Master Bedroom, Master Bath, walk in closet and extended family room and we love each day. If you can imagine how small rooms were in 1905, just think what we had to fix! Seth came up with a solution to maximize our space, meet our needs and to manage the costs. Our addition looks like it has always been there. We strongly recommend him and look forward to using him on our next big projects.”

“When I was first introduced to Stephanie and her team's work it was through word of mouth, and I was hesitant about having someone decorate my home without understanding me and my decorating wants and needs. Boy was I blown away when I met with her to discuss the plans and proposals for my home office. Her professional yet comfortable and casual approach to my office really attracted me to her work. She designed a storyboard for my approval first, which was absolutely riveting and immediately made me excited to see the outcome, which ended up beautiful, and so much more than I could ever imagine. I certainly recommend Stephanie Bradshaw for others seeking help, as her design process was smooth and flawless, which matched my beautiful home office end result!”
