Universal Designers in Kimberton

“I had the pleasure of working with Dovetail in the summer of 2012. Our choice over and above other contractors we looked into was our confidence in the workmanship and design. Going in with the idea that we wanted our kitchen to be more functional and upscale, my husband and I, knowing that we are style-challenged, wanted someone who would guide us to a design that fit the house, our personal taste, and be up-to-date and interesting without succumbing to trendiness that will look dated in 5 years. Any contractor can do a kitchen renovation that looks like the latest mock-up in Lowes or the local kitchen and bath design place. Not everyone has the style sense that Jonathon Scholl has. He worked in elements we would not have thought of and gently discouraged us from decisions that he knew we would regret later (such as we originally didn’t want to give up a cabinet for waste bucket but are now so glad we did). We worked collaboratively and were able to reuse about 80% of our existing cabinets by painting them and getting new doors made. This kept the cost down and appealed to our sense of responsible reuse. So what do our friends and family comment on the most? The gorgeous, furniture-grade island is a solid and functional centerpiece – all Jon’s design and workmanship; the tile backsplash - in particular, the area behind the cooktop – Jon’s selections (my initial selections would have been horrific in reality!); the spice drawer below my cooktop – the envy of all the cooks in my family; the lighted cabinet windows that showcase some of my favorite hand-painted pottery. After living with this kitchen renovation for over a year now, we are still delighted at how it turned out, thoroughly enjoy entertaining in it, and couldn’t imagine this turning out as well without Dovetail.”

“Very conscientious and always very available to walk us through a whole house renovation, from the initial design process to the final product. Quality of work is excellent, would definitely use them again for future projects.”

“Contacted Joshua about a home project and while architecture work was not necessary, instead of telling me he just couldn't help me, he spent a good amount of time over the phone providing recommendations for the type of companies that may be able to assist. As a result, when the need arises for work that Joshua may be able to assist with, I will certainly be contacting him in the future.”

“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.”

“Amazing! That's the best word to describe Batel as a designer. She was so knowledgable and fantastic and made the entire process smooth and painless and gave me a gorgeous kitchen I love to be in and work. It is the center point of the house and I constantly get compliments and asked who did it for me. I highly recommend her!”

“I was referred to Michael by my contractor for a kitchen redesign. He helped me navigate through a difficult decision making process which enabled me to blend other elements of my house with new flooring, cabinetry, granite, and hardware. When I showed him the tile I planned to use for the flooring, he quickly pointed me in another direction. I am so pleased that I listened to Michael. His suggestions led to a well designed, spectacular kitchen, and I would recommend Michael's services to anyone needing help with product selection and functional design. Sherry S.”

“We hired Blue Lotus last summer to help design our new master bathroom renovation and supply the cabinets. The bath needed to be taken down to the studs so every element had to be worked out. I knew the tile I wanted and the stone but needed help with everything else. The first thing Tracy recommended was to take out the small linen closet. It shocked me and added greatly to the material and construction cost, but it's the best thing we did. Ended up with a bigger shower and more storage room. Tracy managed the process, helping to choose the contractor, help me make decisions on time, then scheduling the main contractor's steps with the other suppliers. The finished bathroom is solid and beautiful and fits right in with our reproduction farmhouse.”

“Fran at Holod's takes her time with you. She's attentive, makes good suggestions, but doesn't ever try to to "sell" you anything. When small issues arise, she's quickly responsive and makes sure that the work gets done. The quality of the workmanship is excellent. All the contractors who worked on our kitchen remodeling were skilled, knowledgeable, timely, and a pleasure to work with. In our case, we were surprised to discover that we could get cabinetry that would fit our project better by using a custom builder-- for less than we expected. And we got beautifully-crafted pieces. No regrets... we would definitely use Holod's again.”

“Within minutes of entering our new home for our initial consultation, Amy was able to navigate through our pile of collected treasures, gain a clear understanding of our style, and find a color scheme that we absolutely love. We hired her to design our living room and it is now our most favorite place to spend time in our home. She is quick to respond to any questions or concerns and has been a pleasure to work with. We will be hiring her again to help us with our master bathroom renovation.”
