Universal Designers in Elkton

“Stephanie was very easy to work with! Her initial consultation was very helpful and informational. I would highly recommend Stephanie based solely on her knowledge of materials and practical design. As an artist myself, I was very pleased with her color sense.”

“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.”

“Glad to see you on Houzz. Pleasure working with you. Keep up the great work, you are wonderful young professionals.”

“We hired Ellene to draw a plan for our home renovation, which involved enlarging our kitchen, enclosing a sunroom, and reconfiguring an existing den. While other neighbors with the same model house had done projects to expand their kitchens, we wanted to use the combined space to get an additional bedroom, small bathroom, and larger kitchen while at the same time only reducing the den slightly. After taking measurements, Ellene spent hours discussing with us how we could best use the space to meet our needs. She asked detailed questions to make sure we would have adequate storage, that the kitchen would conveniently accommodate appliances large and small, and that the new layout would work for our busy family. She was a valuable resource as we made decisions about types of appliances, pantry design, and much more. Five years after the renovation was completed, I can say the money we paid Ellene (just a tiny percentage of the total project!) was money very well spent. We are thrilled with the kitchen, bedroom, bathroom, and den, and at no point have I said "I wish I would have done X, Y, or Z differently." I have gotten Ellene's input on other home improvements since then, and she always adds a valuable perspective and is a pleasure to work with.”

“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.”

“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.”

“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.”

“I have known Erin for a number of years and when we moved back to the area she was the one I thought of to help make our new house a "home". She is patient, organized and is efficient with our time together. I have no sense of being able to pull a room together and she has made each of the rooms we have completed look great, stylish and very useable. We are a family with 2 young teen children so I want our house to be comfortable but also look nice when we have our friends over. Erin has been a great help!”

“Valeria Design Studio designed my entire home renovation. What an incredibly talented and wonderful team! They worked well with the contractor, helped solve issues, and generally gave good advice and guidance that served my best interest. I added 400 square feet to what is a vertical house in the middle of a city block by expanding into and eliminating my yard. The result is fabulous and I love my newly renovated house!”

“Gabriela was our project manager for our kitchen and master bath remodel (in addition to a couple of smaller projects). She was a delight to work with in every way: design sense, knowledge of all aspects of the project including plumbing and electrical, problem solving, and listening to our ideas. The work took about four months, not including the preconstruction meetings, and Gabriela made the whole process a pleasure? She has high standards and did not hesitate to argue for us when things did not live up to them. I would not hesitate for one minute to use Gabriela for our next project. She is a consummate professional.”
