Philadelphia, PA House Plan Professionals

“We worked with Tim Kerner on our full house renovation in downtown Philadelphia in 2009. He is very meticulous, thorough and thoughtful in his approach. He does not rush through decisions or projects. He communicated well with our general contractor. Also, when it came time to make decisions about lighting fixtures and other hardware around the house, he sent me some links online of ideas to choose from, to make the process less overwhelming. I found this extremely helpful. Tim is patient and easy to work with and I would hire him again for another project, or recommend him to anyone. I cannot speak to his rates because we did not get other estimates (as he also worked on a family member's project, so we knew we wanted to work with him). We are thrilled the way our house turned out.”

“I have been working with Susan for years. She 1st redid my entire basement using bold colors, we all loved it. She also did an AMAZING job on the Master Bathroom. We gutted the entire room and Susan designed the entire room and also redid the Master bedroom, with beautiful colors, window treatments and bedding. Susan also worked on parts of the LR, DR and paint colors in the house. She also help re-design our deck, which is beautiful. Susan is very professional and also very knowledgeable. She has a great personality and is great to work with. She works well with your busy schedule and well as having great suggestions.”

“As new house owners, we left a condo living and decided to move into a house. We ultimately decided to purchase an older house and customize it to our tastes and needs. I had used Houzz.com to source some architects to help us out. We found Robert and a few others but it was Robert that accompanied me to house inspection for one and then also accompanied me to view the house we ended up purchasing. From start to finish, he was there. We utilized Houzz.com albums to collect photos and ideas to share so he could get a better sense of our needs and wants. He managed pretty much everything from the contractors to the purchasing of items. He also has a great eye for detail so when he conducted the final walk (we were traveling) and approved it, I didn't worry about him missing anything. As new home owners new to renovation, we did go over budget and in the end, we did have to omit some of the items/detailing that we wanted which was frustrating but Robert provided us alternatives so that we could discuss and decide. In the end, with the budget issue and not having the home 100% to what we wanted, we are still very happy with the project. People who have seen the home before are amazed at the results. We are very happy to have found Robert. As non-creative home owners who have never renovated a home, we would have never come up with some of the concepts he produced. He enabled us to customize this house enough that it meets our aesthetic and functional needs. Robert is very diligent and detailed. I think he may have been too detailed for us (ha) but as a result of me giving in to him, we have a stand out master bathroom. I view our home a great learning experience into the area of renovation. I now have Robert to use as a standard.”

“I hired Bloomfield Architects to plan and design my dancewear retail store. I only had a couple of weeks to get things in order from conception to opening day, and Paul made magic happen! The care and professionalism he brought to my project turned a stressful time into an inspiring one. His design has brought daily compliments from my customers, and is a pleasure to come to work in every day. I highly recommend Bloomfield Architects, and would definitely work with again in the future.”

“Romina and company were excellent to work with during the staging of our condo for sale. The team was organized , efficient and very professional . They came on time , set up and left the footprint as clean as when they arrived . She took the time to ask what style etc we were interested in for our condo staging . I opted to rely on her professional experience and decision making and she did not disappoint. The staging of our unit was advantageous in delivering offers that we ultimately accepted . In summary , if you have an empty space that you are marketing/ showcasing for whatever reason I would strongly recommend staging and R & R STAGING and INTERIOR DESIGN .”

“Kristin was outstanding to work with from start to finish. She provided excellent ideas we would have never thought of. I highly recommend using Kristin!”

“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.”

“Erin with Design Group of Philadelphia did a fantastic job working with me on furnishing our newly finished basement. She really listened to my ideas and was able to come up with a fabulous design plan. The end result is one that is both functional yet sophisticated. It is exactly what my husband and I had in mind. We are so happy with the results that we have hired Erin to help redesign a new kitchen for our home.”

“What can I say? I threw a last minute house staging project her way. When I say last minute, it was last minute. She had less than 12 hours to do the job. And boy did they deliver. The team worked very well and late in the night. I could tell she cared about her work, its quality and all. I would hire them again in a heart beat. Cheers.”

“For the past four years, we have worked with Ginger Woods Design extensively while planning and completing an addition and renovation project at our home. During that time, tasks involved both interior design and decorating selections. Ginger devoted considerable attention to each space’s use and flow, to our family dynamic, and was responsive to the challenges that older houses can present. Custom built-ins, furniture selection with some custom designs, and all phases of drapery, fabric, flooring and lighting choices are just some of the areas that were handled by the firm. Ginger’s design-sense, down-to-earth personality and her respect for client tastes and budget made an overwhelming project seem manageable. Her professionalism and team approach to working with the architect and contractors was valued by everyone involved.”
