Custom Home Builders in Hempstead

“As a real estate broker, I have met many architects. Eric Baker and his team stand out in my book. Eric is passionate about his work - he listens and engages in each nuance of what each client wants in their dream house. A home is one's biggest investment and Eric collaborates with his clients to incorporate their ideas and make it their own masterpiece. With Eric, your ideas become a reality but he has the gift of being able to tie it all together to make a seamless flow in the finished product. He is honest and will let you know if an idea won't work, but will offer suggestions that often end up even better at the end. I have recommended Eric to many of my clients with outstanding results. He is personable, cares about his clients, and had good turnaround to get documents updated. He is also currently working on a project for me personally, and he has thought beyond what I initially wanted to create a better flow. Read his reviews and call him for a meeting, you will love working with Eric on your next project.”

“We reached out to Hoboken Kitchen & Bath (Tony Theodore) to help us renovate our kitchen and bathroom. Our personal experience from initial meeting to final punch list and completion was awesome. We also had the added challenges of doing this from a distance since moving from Hoboken to what is now our primary home in Hawaii. We especially needed someone that we could trust and rely on for overseeing our Hoboken renovation from beginning to end since we would not be local during most of the project. Tony from Hoboken Kitchen & Bath promptly met us to do a walk thru of our project. He gave us some great ideas and we were glad to have them in order to help us with our final decision on what to do and what not to do. We wanted this renovation to be for us and also to ensure we were getting as much value added as possible from this project. Tony called out things to help us, some of which suggested things like we should expand our counter top to accommodate more storage and seating, a pocket door solution to solve for working around a small bathroom footprint, more lighting to make things more uniform. He literally made our kitchen look super customized and our bath/shower combination feel like a luxury spa and hotel. At the end of the day, he and his team transferred builder grade to customized in weeks. Tony and his team was also incredibly flexible throughout the renovation. Even as we were coming up with “what if” situations he and his team accommodated everything that was reasonably possible and within our budget, such as adding a glass enclosure to our toilet and changing the vanity for more space even as they were close to completion. He gave us reasonable updated estimates for these last minute client initiated add ons and was able to layer this into his team and their schedules. The communication was great throughout and he also kept our very strict condo association and admin team updated which we greatly appreciated for sure. Our renovation finished only about a week longer than expected but that was due to the added extras that were not part of our original scope so we were very grateful for his team being able to keep to the estimated timeline.. Lastly, we really love our new kitchen and bathroom and all our family and friends that have stayed and used our apartment to date have all complimented on how nice and comfortable they were when using our newly renovated apartment. Based upon our personal experience, we highly recommend Tony, his team and Hoboken Kitchen & Bath. We were fortunate enough to have teamed up with a skilled contractor and designer who not only cares about the work but also his client relationships. Not only did we get gain a fabulous renovated kitchen and bathroom but also a friend at the same time. See before and after pics! Mahalo! Tony and team for the great experience.”

“It was an absolute pleasure to work with Clawson Architects on our full-home renovation. We came to our first meeting with three goals for the project: a second floor addition, plenty of natural light and a design which relates to and elevates the existing neighborhood. From that moment to the final completion, Marvin and the team were fully committed to working with us to understand what that meant and how it could be achieved within our budget. The whole process felt like a true collaboration and resulted in a home which fulfils everything we were hoping to get from it. It's been amazing to see the way the light flooding into the house changes as we start to shift seasons and how the flow through the house has been refined to suit our own personal needs. The design itself has the exact balance of mid century and contemporary which we were hoping to achieve. We've received numerous lovely comments from our neighbours and noticed how almost everyone who passes by cranes their neck to take in the building - I think we've really made something special which doesn't just make us happy but is really putting something back into area. Friends, family and colleagues have asked us about the renovation process, expecting us to have all these crazy stories about how hard and stressful it was. But in truth, although there were certainly bumps in the road, we have actively and thoroughly enjoyed the project from start to end. We put that down to the amazing teams of people we were able to work with.”
