BUILDING YOUR DREAM

See above for all the work done - the work was superb and every contractor showed up when expected, was friendly, professional and of high quality.  The job took this long because we did it in stages so we wouldn't be displaced from our home.   I can't say enough how amazing the knowledge and work was, and how many little things we asked them to correct along the way - like a stopped up sink in another part of the house, or whatever. Those requests were never met with resistance and always got completed with as much quality and professionalism as the rest of the job.  Richard worked with us to re-design some things that wouldn't have looked right if done as designed, and helped us choose cabinets and fixtures and so forth.  The worst part of the job was the beginning when Baltimore County changed its mind from the original inquiry about setbacks to the submission of the plans, based on our lot shape (triangular), and made us go through a variance process.  That ended up delaying us by 3 months, over a summer.  That was no fault of the architect or the contractor, but both helped out with it and managed to remain way calmer than I was.
