TESTIMONIALS
Shehata - Florida - Adam, Erin and Betsy and I met yesterday and reviewed the design. Thank you so much for creating the video, design and your commentary. That makes it so much easier to visualize what the project result will look like. We all liked the dimension and interest you added to the house as well as the changes you suggested for the bathroom and the window addition and adding the back porch overhang. Good stuff.
Gary - Ambassador - "After we talk about this job I'd like to discuss referring some of our clients to you. I like your drawings. They're complete, easier to read, and I like the way they're laid out. I also like that I was able to get you on the phone. Nobody responds to emails or calls anymore, but you made yourself available to me."
John - A builder we've worked with for a few years in West Islip and Massapequa. He called on Saturday - "Hey Ed. I don't have any questions for ya. I know it's Saturday. I'm in front of the house (new house under construction and being framed in West Islip) and I wanted to tell you, you did a really nice design on this house. It looks really nice. And the floor plan has so many possibilities. The house across the street just sold for $850,000 so I think I'm going to do really good on this one. Our 8 foot basement and the granny stairs to the attic stairs are going to be huge selling points."
Tom - "Thank you for your help with my house raise, especially getting the extra height for my detached garage approved. Taking the measurements from the freeboard line was genius."
Beth - "The house is finished. Call me when you want to come over to take some pictures .The view to the bay is stunning. I'm so glad we added your last minute changes to open the master bedroom views towards Fire Island."
