Building Designers in Croydon

“When we bought our 1300 square foot bungalow in 2004, we knew that a renovation was in our future. The house needed major updating and in 2006, we hired Architect Stephen Rhoads to help us with that renovation. We had interviewed another architect, as well as a designer, however, it was clear that Stephen Rhoads was the right architect for us. Stephen is extremely knowledgeable, and creative as well as being friendly. He listened carefully to our wish list, and must haves, took notes, and even drew sketches with some ideas as we spoke. Eventually, Stephen turned our 1960 outdated bungalow, into a 2200 square foot dream home. Our family room with a stone fireplace and plenty of natural light is an addition to the back of the house. Our new kitchen opens to the family room complete with granite countertops, stainless steel appliances and track lighting. Stephen designed a second floor with a Master bedroom with a spa like bathroom, and a studio with natural light. We also wanted a front porch and back deck, and better curb appeal which Stephen accomplished. He also designed a fieldstone patio, a front and back blue stone walkway, and helped us with some drainage issues in the back yard. Stephen Rhoads was able to come up with the perfect design so that we could have it all, and as the project manager, Stephen was on site every day making sure that the builder was doing their best work. We had several upgrades and change orders along the way, and Stephen negotiated with the contractor to get us the best deal possible. He also helped us get great deals on granite counter tops, faucets, lighting fixtures, and everything else that we needed to buy. Stephen is a wonderful problem solver with construction expertise, knowledge, and familiarity with the local building codes and laws. We are very happy with our renovated home, and highly recommend Architect Stephen Rhoads for any upgrading or renovation project.”

“We are currently in the inception of a design/remodel project and have signed on with Harth after researching many other alternatives. They are thorough, detail focused, practical yet innovative thus far. We are excited to get underway with them as I believe they are going to exceed expectations.”

“Glad to see you on Houzz. Pleasure working with you. Keep up the great work, you are wonderful young professionals.”

“Steve Tatios from tatcor.com is first of all a gentleman who spent hours discussing my project before I even hired him. His ideas and dedication to detail was what I was looking for. In addition, I needed someone to design, draw and then take the project to completion. The work was outstanding in quality and detail. Anything we wanted to change or tweak, he was more than willing to do. The final project gets the "oohs and aahs" from friends one would hope for and our new basement is now the most fun and inviting part of the house. Multiple parts of the project were somewhat "out of the box" and Steve took to researching and handling the project. I highly recommend Tatcor.com. It is like a gourmet meal. It takes a few extra days but it is perfect when done.”

“Remodeling Concepts installed an entire new kitchen; including cupboards, countertops, hardwood floor, backsplash, lighting, etc. Two walls were removed and hardwoods in the living room, dining room and hallway were refinished to match the kitchen. We were very pleased with their professionalism, working every day for the entire month. We are very happy with our new kitchen.”

“Nick and his Dad are the best. They redid our two baths and kitchen. The upstairs bath was a complete tear down. The kitchen/family room was transformed from a 1960's kitchen to granite, stainless, windows, doors, walls, pantries, utility room, etc. They were professional, insightful, knowledgeable and finished our job in a timely fashion. We were living in another state and travelling back and forth and never had a delay or worry. We were in our house by May. He recommended other professionals for painting, insulation, etc. and they also were great to work with. His tile guys were the best. Can only say nice things about this contractor and would highly recommend them for any small or large job.”

“Biff and Kevin and crew gave me the master suite of my dreams! They listened carefully to my needs, understood my taste, and gave me a space that feels like a modern 5 star hotel. I would reccomend them to anyone!”

“Working with PK was great. He understands the customer's needs and is able to bring the vision to life in his blue prints. He is willing to give you ideas and also show you where you can save money. Although slightly pricy, the relationship PK offers with the customer is a great relief as they are available at all times for any questions or ideas! Definitely would recommend PK!”

“Totally renovated our condo with remote control, double floor to ceiling blinds, & moved walls, put in beautiful wall coverings ie vinyls, quartz stone & gorgeous wallpapers! Great lighting choices, cool Murphy bed elegantly appointed bathrooms & kitchen Very professional & creative.”

“We have had the pleasure of working with Matt for over 10 years. I am always impressed by Matt's uncompromising attitude towards accommodating his client's wishes. He often accompanies his clients when they are making tile selections (not very common) so there is no question that all design and application criteria are met. He is fun to work with and brings joy to the process.”
