Historic Building Conservation Companies in Sumas

“We met with Bryan and took him our ideas and design sketches of our future Craftsman home. After several meetings and modifications, he was able to transform them into formal plans that satisfied the City of Blaine and Semiahmoo Association. The home is now in the process of being built, and Bryan has been available as a resource. He has been very accommodating and easy to work with, along with providing a wealth of information and experience.”

“Craig and his team did a wonderful job repairing structural damage of our porte-cochere. They were quick and efficient, and had strong communication.”

“I am a retired Interior Designer and wanted to work with an architect who was up on the latest improvements in HVAC and plumbing. I had a pretty clear idea of the layout of our new house but needed help deciding on a contractor to hire as well as some creative structural details to make our 1800 sq. ft. single level home work for us as we age without looking like an "old folks home". Haven Design was instrumental in helping us select a contractor and we have been very pleased with the results.”

“Lanefab provides excellent service to their customers and is a pleasure to work with as a professional. We work with them on a routine basis collaboratively on design and install. Their modern take on laneway homes and eco footprint makes them an invaluable resource in a city that is quickly densifying.”

“No question, our house was a challenge. Kirsten and D3 were tasked with recreating plans for a 105-year-old house as no blueprints existed... the greater challenge, however, was the Heritage Revitalization Agreement with the City of New Westminster. Along with heritage specialist Elana Zysblat, Kirsten helped to save another house in the Queen's Park neighbourhood. Creative and thoughtful design to maximize space inside, and conservation-sensitive exterior modifications have resulted in a house that has one of the biggest - if not the biggest floor-space ratio in New Westminster. Neighbours have commented that aside from looking sharp and clean, the house generally looks the same from the street... exactly the goal that Kirsten, Elana and the City were trying to achieve. We are very pleased with Kirsten and her enthusiastic, patient and professional approach. When the work required to complete the heritage revitalization process exceeded the original budget, Kirsten put in many extra hours and did not charge us - and offered to perform any additional services at a reduced rate. This is the way to handle the unexpected... thank you, Kirsten! I would be happy to work with her again in the future. When the exterior painting is done, I will post photos...”

“Very easy do deal with, fresh ideas and excellent at understanding your vision, and incorporating it onto paper. Prompt service and very reliable. I have recommended him to others and received great feed back, will definitely use Zane for future projects.”

“We worked with the team at Synthesis Design and (now 2 1/2 years later) we are (still) thouroughly happy with their work. In fact, we consider them to be part of our family! When we went into this project we knew nothing about design, construction, zoning, or anything... we told them "we're either going to be your best clients or your worst, because we don't know what we don't know"... Well they certainly helped us through it incredibly well! Not only did they do a great job (many of the photos they posted here are of our home), but we had a blast working with them too! Our home is very important to us.. and take note the word... HOME... that's what Synthesis built for us... our family, our values, our lives were worked into this home in so many wonderful ways! I can't say I would ever use them again... because they did such a fantastic job this time around that we are NEVER moving. We love our home and we love Synthesis Design. C, L, K, O, K, B, everyone... you know who I'm talking about! :) !!! Don`t even THINK, hire them straight away!!!”

“We first consulted Curt when we were trying to solve a problem with plans for an addition to our home. He efficiently resolved that issue after asking and listening effectively regarding what we were trying to accomplish. In later years we had him design an extensive master bath remodel and then a major whole-home remodel. He and his team are excellent on both straightforward and higher-end building solutions and their attention to both the bigger space issues and the fit-and-finish details are outstanding. Highly professional and great to work with as well and very reasonable in cost.”

“We have had the good fortune to have benefited from Nina LeBaron's expertise for nearly 20 years on numerous projects. Nina was responsible for our first extensive remodel 18 years ago and we have relied on her excellent taste, judgement and critical eye on various renovations. Nina has the rare ability of an architect to remain mindful of not only the client's vision but the budget and the impact her recommendations will have on multiple platforms. Her research is remarkably thorough, her attention to detail exceptional and remains a joy to work with from the start of a project to completion. We heartily recommend Nina LeBaron for all sizes of projects; from large to small.”

“I have been in buildings he has designed and I am very impressed. I am awed by Richard’s style - clean, crisp, contemporary, making the most of view opportunities and space optimization. I will definitely use him when I am ready for a remodel, and I highly recommend you contact him for at least a consultation. I will be surprised if you don’t sign on after that.
