"This is the second time we have used Rowland and the team at Dwell Renovations. We built a full addition for my mother in law. Kitchen, living room, bath, bedroom. We couldn’t be happier with how it came out and my MIL is unbelievably pleased. Rowland and all of the contractors, electricians, plumbers and tile folks treated the job like they were working on their own homes. They were patient with our hundreds of questions and requests. Rowland kept us in the loop every step of the way and met , or beat, every timeline. He always had great advice and a keen eye for the details."

"Chris was great to work with, very meticulous and thorough. highly recommend."

"Beyond better than I could have hoped. Joe is very professional, well versed, knowledgeable, creative & resourceful and an excellent communicator. He spoke to us not at us and throughout the entire design process he listened and asked questions & listened some more. We found him very easy to work with and honest. Joe worked within our needs. He took what was in our head put in onto paper and together with our contractor gave us what was in our hearts - a beautiful home. Go with Joe - he’s the man in the know!"

"The team at Avstep were amazing. So friendly and helpful. They replaced our garage roof and helped us with joist work. They were right on time, were super efficient, and organized and cleaned as they were working. It was so nice to talk with them and were very upfront and honest. The whole job was explained in professional detail and gave us a quote for the job that we felt was very fair. The work started the next day and was completed in a day and a half. They are worth more than a simple 5 star. We will now be using them for the added work we are planning. You won’t be disappointed."

"The project was completed within budget and on schedule. The team was professional, responsive to accommodating changes and taking feedback."

"We worked with Brian and his team at Coventry to turn a tiny 2-bedroom, 1-bathroom, single floor "shack" (as my wife put it) in Oakhurst, NJ, into what is seriously the nicest 2-floor (plus full third-floor open storage) home in the neighborhood. 1k sq ft. to >2.5k. We could not be happier with the result, and have been recommending him to family and friends. Brian was meticulous, diligent, forward-thinking (which helped us save money/avoid issues in a lot of areas), and the quality of the work / materials is outstanding (our tenured handyman was just recently highly praising the craftsmanship throughout). Costs were kept under control, despite the inflationary backdrop. We wanted to make a massive open-floor great room, which other contractors said would be too difficult (support beams, load-bearing walls, etc), but Brian made it work. We wanted to raise the ceiling height by 1 ft, which another contractor said would make the project too expensive, but Brian made it work. Similarly, we had ambitions for the added second floor that were not simple, but were guided through all those steps. Late in the project we decided to also redo the kitchen entirely, and Brian helped us budget it in and navigate all the decisions. Cabinets, counter tops, flooring, bathroom details, doors, windows, etc -- we were given great advice and ideas along the way, and transparency on impacts to the budget. We were also steered away from cheap, lower-quality options, as Brian put it: "I am married to this house for the decades ahead, I can't allow you to make decisions that you'll regret." We appreciated having a builder who takes pride in the work. The project took about 8 months from when we got permits (which Coventry took care of... turnkey from architectural plans to the finished home). There were other homes being built/renovated 5-10 minutes away that we noticed started earlier and ended later. Compared to other quotes for the scope of our project, Coventry's all-in price likely falls in-line with the average, but with the result of much greater than average quality work and attention. Would highly recommend Brian and his team for anyone doing a large job on their home or a complete new build."

"?Evolution Drafting has been very difficult to work with. I have been passed from employee to employee, with unreturned calls and missed appointments. I am still waiting on a meeting to review the changes we want, yet I keep getting emails with their own concept of our project instead of a proper Teams or Google meeting. I was even sent an email to schedule a ?revision if needed,? which makes it feel like I am being blamed for not accepting a design we have never discussed in detail. My time is as valuable as theirs, and the lack of clear communication and follow?through has been extremely disappointing.? I understand that things happen in life, but I also know they have a phone, and a simple call, text, or email would prevent me from wasting my time waiting on them. I have already paid, and it appears I will not receive the final product until after Christmas and New Year?s. I am disappointed.? "

"I went fine. The quality of the workers was fine."

"If you want a design lacking creativity, you can hire anyone else, but if you want a unique, beautiful and functional project within your budget, than Gary is the perfect Architect for you ! He will first, explain in detail the fee basis, and than come up with the most efficient ideas, using an amazing imagination. Gary has a deep knowledge of the Construction process, so he is readily available to be involved during the work with the builder. He made the whole process very comfortable for us, so I highly recommend him !"

"They were very good on price compared with others, any phone call they answered, they were very fast on the project."
