Design-Build Contractors & Firms in Tamaqua

“We are writing to wholeheartedly recommend Timothy (Tim) Strosser of Studio 810 Design as a designer and general contractor for home improvement. In 2012, we met Tim at the Philadelphia Home Show, and were impressed by Tim’s portfolio of previous designs and building projects. On his first visit to our home in the Philadelphia suburbs Tim impressed us again with his instant understanding of our home improvement needs. We wanted to build a new bathroom in a little-used space that was attached to our master bedroom, but Tim suggested a much better solution; building an addition to the house’s second floor, and placing the bathroom in it. This way we got a fabulously looking new master bathroom that is an envy of our friends and neighbors, and avoided a mistake of building a bathroom that would be to small and not convenient. Timothy also designed and built for us a mudroom in front of our house, completely redesigned and rebuilt our patio, and changed the siding all around the house. We are very satisfied with the quality of his design and workmanship of his crew. Tim is a very experienced project manager, and he worked hard to accommodate our specific requirements during the project and to adjust all the logistics accordingly. He was able to keep the project deadlines despite very unfavorable weather conditions, the climax of which was Hurricane Sandy. During the project we occasionally changed our mind regarding some details (e.g., selection of tiles), and Tim was always ready to either accept our new ideas or, when they were not practical, offer very good alternatives. During the project we developed a trusting, friendly relationship with Timothy and many of his crew members. We were so satisfied with our collaboration with Tim that, after the first big project was completed, we tasked him with a couple of smaller projects in our house (e.g., staircase renovation), and outside (landscaping). We are sure that, with his great artistic taste, his extensive technical experience, and his understanding of individual clients’ characters and preferences, Timothy can exceed expectations of the most demanding clients. We already recommended the services of Studio 810 to our neighbors, and we recommend them to you.”

“very happy with the design of my master bath. I wanted a large shower and that is exactly what I got! Met with April and we discussed a few ideas and her design was spot on! They will design my other bathroom next year.”

“Pete and his team did a complete refinishing of our basement. It was done in two stages: the first included designing the empty space to make it most functional for us. We needed apartment type living as our daughter and two granddaughters are living with us. We wanted as much light as possible which he accomplished with the installation of extra windows and great lighting. In addition to a living area, we needed a desk area, a bedroom and bath and plenty of usable storage. He covered existing support posts and added closets. The second stage was begun after three years when we decided a kitchen was also needed so Pete again used his design expertise by converting the desk area into a wonderful kitchen which includes plenty of cabinet and counter top space, a refrigerator, sink, dishwasher and stove along with the addition of a beautiful, functional breakfast bar. Pete and his carpenters, plumbers and others were always respectful, on time and kept us abreast of what was happening on a daily basis. There were no unexpected delays. We could not have asked for a better outcome.”

“These contractors are some of the best around. They are responsive, reasonable and knowledgeable. I called with an urgent issue before a gusty thunderstorm and they were onsite within an hour!”

“Great quality work, knowledge of structure and design. All aspects of the project were estimated prior and the accounting by the company made for an easy understanding of the costs and payments due.”

“I have had the pleasure of working with Penn Contractors for the past several years. Bruce Snyder and his team are professional, knowledgeable and easy to work with. They manage a project from design concept through completion passionately, always conscious of their clients needs, desires and budget. Penn Contractors provides workmanship of the highest standard and will exceed your expectations.”

“I am so glad I got my building from you. The guys who put up this 16 by 28 did an AWESOME job! I never even saw them take a break. They were polite & professional, I would recommend you to anyone!!!”

“Project was a custom home build. Neil Sullivan & his contractors were truly professional throughout all phases of the building project. They provided suggestions & guidance when needed; met all deadlines as promised; were neat & courteous throughout the duration of the project; were very detail-oriented and great problem-solver and proved to be very resourseful. Additionally, after the project was completed, they were readily available for any follow-up issues/questions that arose and they resolved them in a timely manner. The end product was of the highest quality and the process exceeded our expectations. We highly recommend SBD&G.”

“David Brooke Rush Builders team has constructed various projects for my own home as well as providing construction services for multiple clients over the past 12 years through our Architectural and Interior Design office (Phase 2 Architecture & Interiors, Jenkintown, PA). They provide accurate projections of both construction costs and timelines, work hard to ensure clients understand the choices and cost impact of options, and coordinate their work and construction schedule in an efficient manner. Becasue of this, they make the process of living with construction more enjoyable! They perform each project with a high level of integrity and enthusiasm that is unusual in the field of construction. I highly recommend DBR Builders for projects from small renovations to larger new construction work. They have routinely exceeded expectations as well as contributing valuable input on any project.”

“Brian and Studio 26 are fantastic! You can't find someone who is as committed to delivering an amazing project as he is. Don't hesitate to work with him, you won't be disappointed.”
