Overall great experience with Lee and his team. Prompt to respond, willing to listen intently and offer suggestions to make designs flow. Looking forward o getting the construction underway to build the design w created with Lee.

Lee is a pleasure to deal with-- very responsive and helpful. He listened, took feedback, and gave us a plan that looks like it will meet our needs to a "T".

February 27, 2026

Comment from Peake Green Design:

Thank you Jon. You were fortunate to connect with a great builder to bring it all in for a landing. I'm grateful that our design checked all the boxes.

We hired Chesapeake Green Design to design our "forever home." We couldn't be more thrilled with the design. We are in Vienna, MD, with a water view lot and a gorgeous view on the Nanticoke River. The design gives spectacular views with a family room on the second floor and the screened porch across the front of the house. Lee Weldon was pure genius in his design for our small lot. The house is energy efficient with plenty of light. It is designed for us to age in place with wide doors. It was built by Browhan and Brooks. Love it

February 7, 2024

Comment from Peake Green Design:

Thanks so much! It was an absolute delight working with you, and helping you solve the puzzles with the limited footprint. We loved visiting at Christmas time, and really enjoy seeing how much you love the house via your Facebook posts. Seems like we're overdue for another visit!

Peter Gost

There are several design elements that Lee recommended that worked very well in our redesigned kitchen and dining room. His recommendation for a balcony over the dining room extension was fantastic. He listened to our thoughts and provided input and suggestions that were very helpful. He met our timelines and was generally available throughout the project for questions. He missed the mark on the support beans in the ceiling - probably an over abundance of caution - but structurally unnecessary as per the building inspectors and the general contractor. This added to the cost, delayed construction, and made it difficult for the plumbing. The end product is a fantastic beautiful functional kitchen and dining room. Thanks

February 21, 2023

Comment from Peake Green Design:

Thanks, Peter. It was a pleasure working with you. There's always a lot of choices involved in bringing your ideas to life, and I appreciated the communication between you, your builder, and our engineer. In the end, what may appear to be overkill helps to make some of the other features possible. The key is to think through all of that in the planning process. I'm glad to see you and Beth enjoying the new space.

Trey D.

Lee with Chesapeake Green Design has been a major part of my home project as he has taken all of our ideals and put them on paper through many redesigns. I would recommend him to anyone who wants to take on a custom project with a lot of custom demands. As far as budget and timeliness I would highly recommend.

February 12, 2023

Comment from Peake Green Design:

Thanks so much, Trey. It's important for us to make sure our clients wake up every day in a house they love. Your vision for your home evolved with each session, and each time it got better. We're glad we could help capture your ideas and put them onto paper. We wish you all the best for a successful build!

Craig Schury

Was able to work on a tight schedule to get me plans. Easy to deal with & open to my suggestions for what I wanted and incorporate it into the design. Professional and reasonable.

February 6, 2023

Comment from Peake Green Design:

Thank you, Craig. The house looks amazing! Looking forward to seeing the garage we did for you start soon!

Adam

You won't be disappointed in choosing Chesapeake Green Design for your next project. Very thorough and professional thru out the design process from the day of the site survey to the day you move in. Committed to giving you a design that is what you want, while adding/suggesting ideas that come from years of experience from other design/build projects they have worked on. Always available to answer your questions/concerns, quick turnaround and ability to make changes as needed/required during the permit/build process. Highly recommended !

May 2, 2022

Comment from Peake Green Design:

Thanks, Adam. Thanks also to your structural engineer and your team of contractors who brought it all together!

Nancy Dianis

We worked with Mr. Weldon of Chesapeake Green Design for over a year designing and refining the renovation design of our home. He was attentive to our design vision and guided us through the HOA and town approval process. Our newly renovated home is exactly as we envisioned...open concept, with water views from all but one room. Thank you!

July 16, 2021

Comment from Peake Green Design:

We're very proud of the work we were able to do for you. Existing townhouses always present a puzzle, but we like puzzles! We also enjoyed collaborating with Michael McGrath Home Interiors, and Tim Bishoff Builders, and seeing all your wonderful ideas for the house brought to life.

Lee Weldon did an amazing job with our renovation. He had a great eye for being able to see the overall layout of a sizable first floor reconfiguration, and was always timely with follow-through.

Mark Eney

Chesapeake Green Design provided a set of plans for an extensive home renovation. We worked through several iterations of the design to come up with a solution that is both practical and efficient. This renovation impacted 2/3 of the existing home taking it down to studs. Included were exterior siding replacement, window replacement, HVAC replacement, and hot water heat replacement. The renovation included flipped the dining kitchen spaces, converting an inlaw suite into a master suite, created a 4 season room where a screened in porch was, and expanded the deck on this waterfront home. Chesapeake Green was helpful in both design flow, design continuity energy efficiency improvement, and providing cost effective design alternates when our design ideas became too expensive for our budget.

June 12, 2019

Comment from Peake Green Design:

It was great to work with you, Mark and Patti. It's always best to work out the details in the planning stage. We're glad we could help you bring your ideas to life! Your contractor, Billy Hughes, did a great job from start to finish!

Fern Beu

While we already had our design for our workshop/artist studio in mind, Lee drew up our project so that it sailed through getting the building permit, and we had no changes necessary as the building went up due to insufficient knowledge of local codes. So important when you are acting as your own GC! Lee was very responsive and timely to our needs. Great to work with!

May 21, 2019

Comment from Peake Green Design:

Thank you, Fern. It was especially rewarding to see how you have used the space to share your work with others. We were pleased to play a part in your creativity!

Felicia O'Donnell

Thanks Lee for designing the garage that satisfied the size of the lot and for future expansion. Thanks for being so flexible when we had some hiccups with the set backs, and you rolled with the punches and found the solution. I would like to thank you again and will send you some pics as we finish this new home!

October 9, 2018

Comment from Peake Green Design:

Thanks, Felicia. We work with a lot of infill lots, and there always seems to be a hurdle or two. We appreciate the opportunity to work with you and Knox Builders to get the plans you needed drawn up! Looking forward to seeing the finished project.

Signature Dream Homes

Lee Weldon is an excellent designer. We have used him on several projects with great success. His background working within the industry gives him a realistic perspective that he uses to ensure that his design is not only attractive, but also buildable with a minimum of waste. I highly recommend Lee.

April 30, 2018

Comment from Peake Green Design:

Thanks, Rick. It always makes our job easier when we can refer our clients to a builder that they can count on to deliver outstanding results! And we appreciate that you count on us to help your clients achieve their vision.

HU-929637

Working with Lee was a great experience. Initial project was delivered on time and at cost promised. Lee was very prompt at returning calls, answering questions and and making changes. I would not hesitate to work with Chesapeake Green Building & Design again.

April 8, 2018

Comment from Peake Green Design:

Thanks for that feedback! We provide quality drawings for all kinds of projects, and we appreciate the opportunity to work on yours.

Paul Azzam

Lee and Rhodana provided excellent work and customer service throughout the project. From plans, permitting and estimates through construction they did a terrific job. And they're fun to work with. I'd hire them again in a hot minute.

April 3, 2018

Comment from Peake Green Design:

Thanks, Paul. It was fun to work through the various challenges of converting a garage into an in-law suite! Here's the "Before" picture!

Charles Strasburger

Lee is very attentive to client needs, and worked with us in all areas, even with the changes we continued to add as we thought through the designs. Actually, he made the process fun. We would definitely recommend Lee for most anyone's home improvement, remodeling, and building needs.

April 2, 2018

Comment from Peake Green Design:

Thank you Charles! This was a very interesting remodel of a very interesting home. We're looking forward to seeing the addition and decks take shape!

dvanamburgh0606

Chesapeake Green Design was recommended by my contractor. I was looking for someone to design an addition to an older home and wanted the addition to blend in with the original home. I am so happy with the finished product and have received so many compliments with the layout. Working with an older home and limited property line had some challenges, but it turned out to be more than I expected. I had talked to an architect, but the fee was more than I was prepared to pay. Chesapeake Green Design was very reasonably priced and easy to work with. It also helped that I had a great contractor to work with. I would not hesitate to use them again.

September 22, 2017

Comment from Peake Green Design:

It was a pleasure working with you and Sherman of Mason Construction as well. Thank you for the kind review!

John Evans

The plans Chesapeake Green Design came up with are excellent. We expected to need a large addition, but Lee developed a design that re-imagined much of our existing space and at the same time incorporated all of the features we requested (and then some). This ended up being critical for meeting permit requirements. We're looking forward to starting the build.

September 22, 2017

Comment from Peake Green Design:

Thanks John and Sherri. It's always good to look at reconfiguring existing space to get the uses you need, especially when you have a restriction on the square footage you're allowed to add. Looking forward to seeing the work get underway with Cooper Builders.

Bob Ritz

Lee is terrific. we used him to make some changes on an existing set of plans and he brought some new ideas and better use of space than we had, so we ended up having him re-design the house and we couldn't be happier we the results. Lee set out a timetable in the beginning and stuck close to it. He has a warm and welcoming personality, He is responsive and he actually listens to what you want. We are just breaking ground and are excited to see it come together. Pictures to follow!

slamadave

Lee is very friendly, knowledgeable and professional. He gave us many ideas we hadn't even considered and incorporated them into our conceived plan. He's very handy with the computer and could create or change ideas as we were watching. He worked very well with our contractor. I think Lee's greatest accomplishment was creating what we wanted while keeping within the parameters dictated by the historic society. He was well prepared when we presented the plans to the historic committee and we actually breezed through.. There's been a lot of follow up and Lee has always been willing to tweek any to the ideas he presented. I would whole hardly recommmend Lee to anyone starting a remodeling project and would call on him again if I were to do another

Comment from Peake Green Design:

We have a lot of experience presenting designs to Historic Preservation District boards, planning and zoning commissions, and neighborhood associations. We're glad we could help the Slamas and their builder navigate the process to design a successful project!

cratebrother

My house was damaged by a falling tree from a hurricane and it gave me the opportunity to change some things. I never imagined the improvements that could be made within the existing structure and budget! Chesapeake Green Design was so helpful and creative, I really can't say enough. I ended up with a beautiful space, much more energy efficient, and designed so well that the electrical and plumbing came in far under projected cost. They incorporated my ideas and theirs seamlessly, and always showed complete attention to detail and customer service. Entirely pleased.

July 21, 2016

Comment from Peake Green Design:

We kinda liked the rustic look, Joe! But thanks for letting us be a part of the rebuild.

Susan Sicuranza

Lee did a great job from start to finish. It was the busy time of year, early Spring, and he made the extra effort to get the plans completed in a timely fashion. He responded quickly to email and phone calls and worked with our schedule to hold meetings. We are scheduled to begin building in the Fall2016 and expect that Chesapeake Green will still be consulting with our builder.

June 29, 2016

Comment from Peake Green Design:

The price range stated is for the total construction. Our design and drafting fees are very competitive! Thanks for the review, Susan.

gkclemes

We hired Chesapeake Green Design to design a second floor addition to our house. They were knowledgeable and worked within our budget and timeframe (both of which were tight). They monitored the job, had great suggestions along the way, and on top of that they are great people to work with. I recommend them, and in fact some of my friends have already hired them!

March 6, 2016

Comment from Peake Green Design:

Thank you for that feedback. It's been a pleasure working with you and your builder through a challenging project. We're pleased you are happy with the outcome.

hough_j

We found Lee Weldon very quick to grasp our needs and was thorough in his research of building codes and requirements. He researched materials that we had requested. Our only concern was that he needed more details and specifications on the drawings. We had no problem with Easton's Building Department approving his drawings. We would recommend his firm for future work.

December 20, 2015

Comment from Peake Green Design:

The price range quoted above was for the full construction of the project. Our design fee was well below 5% of the budget.
