IN OUR CLIENT'S WORDS...

"Our kitchen remodel turned out as good as it gets! FM Design+Build came to the home we were considering for purchase and outlined the possibilities for transforming the cramped choppy kitchen/dining room into an open elegant chef's kitchen. Their architectural skills and design sensibilities were at the highest level. My husband and I loved working with both partners. They were professional in every sense; prompt, responsive and respected our input. We saved a considerable amount of money from their sourcing of materials. Their vision and ideas were fresh and sophisticated. We would work with them again and have recommended them to our friends. This firm is top drawer."

"Initially, my wife and I hired Stephen and Sandra to design a solution to raise three large structural beams in the basement of our 1907 house. Their professionalism and years of expertise was evident from the first consultation and how they helped us approach the project. They offered to help design all that we needed and were respectful when we asked to stay within a budgetary constraint and only move the beams. They delivered us exactly that.

We liked their work so much that we decided to hire them again to draw up plans for a complete 750 sqft addition and basement. While the scope became larger, their goal remained the same: to make sure we are happy with our house and that it functions for us. We were given a multitude of options and went through the design together several times until we were satisfied.

Stephen and Sandra are responsive, met our timeline, delivered quality work, and were able to find a solution within our budget. We also received tips on how to approach these projects, how to discuss with building officials, and what to expect. It was clear that their years of experience have taught them how to approach all-sized projects.

Their courtesy, flexibility, and responsiveness are qualities I am often not able to find in the construction business. I highly recommend FM Design+Build to anyone considering residential work."

"We are so thankful that we found Sandra and Stephen to do our remodel. They listened carefully as we explained our general ideas about how our kitchen, dining, and living room might be transformed into a unified area that would be more functional, more comfortable, and more aesthetically pleasing than what the architect of our tract home originally gave us. After carefully researching the marketplace for what might match our tastes and budgetary constraints, they brought us some straightforward drawings/designs from which it was clear that what we had envisioned could materialize in a way that was even better than we had imagined."

"FM Design+Build just finished remodeling my 45-year-old kitchen, which was depressing in its dark-stained cabinets, dingy floor tile, formica counter tops, low ceiling, and original appliances. It was completely gutted and then transformed into a room that seems much larger than is actually the case, with a higher ceiling and brilliant LED recessed lights, beech cabinets with natural finish, large handsome floor tiles laid in an appealing pattern, spectacular granite counter tops, and all new appliances. And this complete transformation took less than five weeks.

Physical and budgetary constraints did not allow the renovation to extend outside the overall area of the kitchen and adjacent pantry. Nevertheless, Sandra and Stephen produced some sound suggestions for improvement within these boundaries, which they pressed upon me with gentle persistence, and which I eventually adopted, to my complete satisfaction.

Stephen was remarkably organized and established a tight demolition and construction schedule which was maintained from beginning to end. Two of the sub-contractors cabinets and granite countertops were particularly outstanding, delivering well-fabricated products with perfect fit, and on time. Stephen laid the tile (which Sandra had picked out for me) in a staggered pattern, most skillfully. The combination of tile, countertops, and cabinets is arresting.

FM Design+Build's detailed proposal was, I felt, fairly priced, the plans and elevations well executed. Sandra and Stephen are honest, hard-working, and completely trustworthy, and a pleasure to work with. I particularly appreciated how, at the end of a long day, the work area was cleaned as well as possible. Dust in such an undertaking is inevitable, but Stephen took great care in keeping it to a minimum. At the end, I told Sandra and Stephen that it looked better than I imagined and was much less of an ordeal than I feared. I would unhesitatingly recommend FM Design+Build for any remodeling or new construction project you might be considering."

"We couldn't be more pleased with Sandra and Stephen's work. Our new kitchen is by far the most popular gathering spot in the house! now our living room feels left out! The whole renovation went very smoothly and was finished ahead of schedule. Their knowledge and design sensibilities made shopping trips for granite and appliances fun and informative. We look forward to hiring them again in a few years to design our retirement home!"
