"Zach did plans for 2 homes for me and he did a wonderful job. One was a complete tear down and rebuild. He was meticulous with details and has true design talent. I would hire him again in a minute."

"When I moved into my home, I knew I needed help with everything from organizing and decorating to selecting paint colors and creating a space that felt cohesive and welcoming. What I didn’t expect was how much of an impact Abigail would have on my family’s life. She has an incredible eye for design and organization, but what truly sets her apart is her ability to transform a house into a home. She listened carefully to what was important to me, worked within my style, and helped create spaces that are both beautiful and functional for my family. Throughout the entire process, she was professional, patient, creative, and genuinely invested in helping us create a home we love. Her talent is remarkable, but she’s also simply a wonderful person to work with. I am incredibly grateful for everything she has done and cannot recommend her highly enough. If you’re looking for someone to help organize, decorate, redesign, or bring new life to your home, you will be in excellent hands."

"We have worked with Cecy Gillen Designs on three home renovations (our primary bathroom, installing a mudroom, and installing a laundry room with cabinets and shelving) and we cannot recommend Cecy and her team highly enough. She has an excellent eye for design. Every time we present her with an idea, she internalizes our vision and improves upon it with her own great ideas. She responds to our questions and concerns in a timely manner and her team is efficient and friendly. We look forward to working with Cecy Gillen Designs on future home improvements."

"The carpenter that did the job (Adam) was amazing. He had to expand the space for one window, narrow the space for another, and repair much cedar siding that had rotted away due to water damage. He also reshaped my patio door so it would close and lock more easily. He is a very talented carpenter and I have no qualms about highly recommending him."

"Huge help with our home renovation! Very talented creating floor plans, exterior designs, and estimating construction costs!"

"Nixon and his crew did an outstanding job gutting and rebuilding a very challenging bathroom in our house, which was built in the 1930s. We are very happy with the craftsmanship and the price, and it was a pleasure to work with them on this project from start to finish. I highly recommend this excellent contractor."

"Douglas Cutler Architects helped me every step of the way. They did NOT disappear as soon as I paid for the plans. They helped guide the builder and made minor changes painlessly. I highly recommend them plus my house is gorgeous!"
