Universal Designers in Grafton

“Very professional. Great team work. Excellent communication. Quality workmanship. 4 car garage with insulation and finished inside. Cement thru out with pads on each side with driveway.”

“Our company worked with Chris on the large contemporary renovation in Bratenahl. The project offered many challenges from concept, thru design to construction. We have done several projects of this type. Working with Chris was a pleasure that is not always experienced on a complex project like this. His attention to detail, communication and involvement in the project allowed for the entire team to establish a solid relationship with the owner and enabled us to complete the project as expected and with the highest quality.”

“We're so happy to have worked with Erin and used her e-design services. We first collaborated on our basement remodel - exploring different floorplans and furniture arrangements. Her 3D renderings were so helpful that we then asked her to help with another project - and she's now helped us visualize our kitchen, dining room, library AND seating area! Erin was great at incorporating our feedback and providing three viable options for each space. We're now leveraging her renderings to get quotes from a few general contractors. Without her, we would have worked with a design/build firm that likely would have cost us hundreds of thousands of dollars more overall. We can't recommend Erin enough, especially if you're considering a remodeling or renovation project. Make her your first call before calling any contractors!”

“I hired White Builders to replace my existing kitchen cabinet doors and drawer fronts. My wife and I were very pleased with the wide selection of choices and the quality of the materials. The work was completed in a timely manner. Jim White was very easy to work with and made the whole experience a positive one from start to finish.”

“Having been in the design-build industry for 25 years and completing multiple high profile projects in Ohio and Florida with William Fugo, I am able to definitively state that he is most outstanding professional I have ever collaborated with. His skill at developing project parameters sets the tone for devising design and functional concepts for each project. This approach is consistent regardless of the size of the project. Large projects including those designated: “Wilderness,” “Valley Overlook” and “Canalside” were complex whole building renovation and additions - yet the attention to detail was maintained throughout the process. His ability to bring highly creative and effective designs to the client is consistently remarkable. Coupled with this architectural skill is the very rare skill to carry the design process to the projects interior. The ability to design interior elements to improve traffic flow, food servicing, senior living amenities, architectural details & finishes, lighting, color selections and furnishing selection & procurement while collaborating with other professionals ensures the finished project routinely exceeds expectations. William Fugo is a methodical project partner. His work is always organized, documented clear & concise and timely. This directly impacts the ability to keep a project on budget and on time. He works exceptionally well with owners, clients and other professionals. This capability also includes the ability to collaborate with technical specialists, contractors and trade professionals - this skill is a source of great relief during the complex construction process.”

“I hired lzl Interiors to help my husband and I decorate our under-construction condo. We had many decisions to make in a very short time, including paint color, tile, flooring, lighting map, cabinets, vanities, etc. We had a vague idea of how we wanted our new condo to look but no idea how to pull it off. Laurie, worked with our tastes and guided us away from many potential mistakes. She incorporated our desires into a vibrant, but tasteful décor plan. We love our home and look forward to coming home to it every night! Additionally, guests and friends rave about our color scheme and décor details--it's a truly unique space thanks to lzl Interiors. Three years after moving in, we again contracted with lzl to handle our bedroom décor and are extremely pleased with her work. She saved us a lot of money by directing us to just the right items without wasting time and money on so-so items.”

“As a colleague & friend i have known the principles, Jim & Bob at Westwork Architectural Studio in excess of 15 years. Over the years we have designed and developed outdoor space and landscapes for a number of the properties that they have designed & developed. Westwork's attention to detail and creativity is unmatched. Their design principles & support staff are always at the forefront of their field and true artisans of Architectural design & details. I couldn't be more excited about the potential of working more together in the future to help their clients dreams become a reality. That being said, i would highly recommend Westwork Architectural Studio for your next design & development project.”

“The kitchen designers have been a delight to work with. While respecting what we want, they offer wonderful professional opinions when we ask them - and we do ask them, because what they suggest is spot on, because they know the look we are trying to achieve. The construction project has not actually begun yet, but I know we will be thrilled to death. This company is top notch. So far, we have been extremely pleased. They are quick to communicate with us when we have questions, and are always helpful.”

“I worked with Cynthia J. Hoffman Interior Design and her team to upgrade the design of my apartment. I appreciated the professional manner of the design group. Planning each room involved consideration of my desires but I was also exposed to designs that were tasteful and current. The attention to detail of the redone space and ultimate function are aspects of the team's approach that I appreciate daily as I live in my beautiful home. The projects began approximately in May, 2010 and we completed the last room by February of 2013. I directed the pace of the various design projects. I highly recommend this design group.”

“Hallie is the architect for a remodel of our home. The project is a large one, requiring many changes, both large and small. She has been easy to work with, always willing to rearrange things as our desires changed. She's offered great suggestions for solutions and resources, and she is affordable. A real pleasure!”
