Get matched with top architects in Douglas, MA

"Richard is a wonderful person to work with. Great communication and very easy going. He knows his stuff! He was able to accomodate the design needed for additions in my 1949 Cape Cod style home, as well as redesign on the interior. He lived more than an hour away, but was willing to travel out to my home for measurements! This was a huge plus. He was able to coordinate the printing of blueprints, so I could pay for them and have them sent to my home, since he lived a distance away. I would highly recommend him to anyone, in need of an architect, for a project, on an older home. He was such a pleasure to work with!"

"The idea of Hiring an architect was scary, Ken made the process easy and cost efficient. He was up front and direct. He had some good ideas of how to do our project and made us think outside he box to make our addition project fit our needs and wants. Thanks Ken!!"

"I hired Szymanski architects to design my renovation and would absolutely work with them again. Their expertise helped me design the space with the most functionality for my needs. They were timely and were in constant contact during the project making adjustments as needed. The place came out beautiful and we couldn’t be happier."

"Guzman was very helpful and knowledgeable in designing what was need for the permitting process and construction. I would recommend his very highly. I've been working with him for over twenty years. He is my goto architect."

"I wanted to maximize the space in my basement art studio and asked Jane Estella, principal architect at Artios Architects, to look at it. Very quickly she assessed that if I removed the coal bin in my 100-year-old house basement I would achieve my objective. I followed up and am very happy. I owe a lot to Jane's vision for an art studio with better space."

"Given the complexity of the project, it went as smoothly as something like this can go. Hagit developed a very functional and attractive design based around an island that would seat 3, along with a variety of cabinetry. She was very patient when we wanted a number of adjustments. She accompanied us to pick out counters and backsplash, and always seemed to have good ideas for selections according to our tastes. Brian mapped out the engineering, which included moving a support beam, together with an engineering firm. He also mapped out a three-month schedule with the various subcontractors the firm uses, like the plumber, electrician, plasterer, counter people, floor people, etc. They all had lots of experience with this kind of work, and in working with KCF. Brian worked hard to ensure that new wood flooring would match well with existing flooring just outside the new kitchen. The KCF team also took a lot of care to set things up in our condo to create barriers to minimize dust and dirt, and try to ease our inconvenience; they even loaned us a microwave to use in our temporary kitchen in the basement. For the most part, subs showed up as scheduled, and did good work. KCF also coordinated all the town inspections. There were only a few glitches--the biggest one was when the tiles for the backsplash arrived broken, and it took some weeks to get replacements. The tile outfit wasn't very responsive, and seemed not to care much. But KCF kept on with all the other work, and the tiles were finally put in pretty much near the end. We have used the kitchen for a couple months now and love it. The design and craftsmanship all worked well. Going through a kitchen re-do is never a pleasant experience, but KCF made it as painless as possible."

"Not only could they paint it, but they painted it well! Even before the painting, I walked outside and looked at my newly washed vinyl siding and vinyl deck and exclaimed "wow!" They did an excellent job of all parts. They even took a piece of the railing to the paint store so that they would match the color. I had checked with another company which had an A report card here on Angie's List but Hector's was much better by price and made me feel better. I should note for anyone who wants to get both of these done that the cost of the painting/staining is higher than the cost of the power washing. But even though painting isn't there primary job, the results look like it was. they pressure wash by actually using a chemical to melt off the mold/algae/whatever it is, then use water to rinse it away. They were professional, friendly, trustworthy, everything you look for in someone doing a big job. Excellent all-around."
