"Thanks for hiring us to design your kitchen and bathroom. We did cost estimating early & often and alerted you when your decisions raised the cost of the job. I did advise that replacing your old cabinetry instead of trying to repaint would be a wise investment. In any renovation if you leave half new half old, the old stuff really stands out in a bad way. Hope whatever you’re doing now works out for the best. Andrew"
When our contractor called him to suggest that another beam would be sufficient, he didn't know how the load was even calculated and said "that's what she told me to use" (referring to his old professor). Turns out we could have saved money with a regular beam (not steel) which initially we were told we needed to minimize jutting out of the ceiling. Our contractor just moved it a few inches away from the wall so it was a complete non issue. Also, the drawings contained so many errors. He kept forgetting small details such as electrical outlets, location of lighting fixtures, removal of load bearing wall, etc. and even when the contractors went to execute, some measurements were off, were ambiguous, or were missing. Also, after all the work was completed, the calculations were off so that the bolts securing the beam are sticking out of the ceiling versus being flush under the ceiling drywall.
I would definitely not recommend utilizing Andrew if you actually want real work executed in your home. He was a very friendly person, but he doesn't have the structural expertise and will just end up calling in someone else and then charging you for it. Also, he was pricier than all the other architects we interviewed, but we were willing to pay the price if it meant receiving better quality service. Which we definitely did not receive.
pictures to come shortly.
He made a very stressful situation better for us and i would absolutely recommend his services to anyone!
"Thank you for your review, I'm glad we could be the source of calm and security in this crazy world of NYC permits and construction! Enjoy the new home, Andrew"
our farmhouse has been revitalized and brought into the 21st century without sacrificing any charm. I have seen his designs that span modern, transitional and classic - most impressive.
"Thank you for your review. It's been a pleasure working with you!"
Andrew has completed all of the work in his scope and has done an amazing job. Even during the renovation process, he's gone above and beyond his required duties to stop in to check in.
Andrew has provided an A+ experience and I have already recommended him to a couple of friends. He's a class act and will respond very quickly in a professional and polite manner.
"Thank you, Member. I'm glad you're happy with the work and I look forward to seeing the apartment renovation completed soon! Andrew"
After selecting him, he began a very hard job of getting all the info required to do the drawings. I am sure the easiest part for him was the actual drawings, but I was also a witness of how much he had to deal with HOA and the city!
He was always available, prompt, helpful and honest. I was lucky to find such professional! I wish all the people I meet was as responsible as Andrew
he presented us with detailed drawings and even more impressive - 3D renderings on his IPad that could zoom and rotate. excellent overall
