“Approximately seven years ago my wife and I started to explore various options of expanding our home for our growing family. We I connected with Darrell through one of my wife's best friend who had hired Darrell. The journey began with what we "thought" made the most sense which was to build a four-season room with additional basement space below along with a detached 2-car garage as we had a 1-car garage. Darrell helped make our vision a reality on paper added sensible touches and value engineered the job. Having never had a job of this size (I get it that in reality it was pretty small), we experienced sticker shock when the bids came back and could not justify to investment to get any reasonable return on our investment. So we paused and gave more thought as to another strategy which was to go out the other side of our house with an open kitchen over a 2-car garage. Sounds simple but ask him to show you the photos. Not only does the space work but he made the house flow inside beyond our expectations. He also helped in re-imagining closets, powder rooms, a second floor bath an an office for my wife. We get rave reviews. Now four years after we completed the project, we are confident it was absolutely the best thing we could have done. Our builder commented several times to me that he appreciated the extensive notes on the drawings as it left very few change orders in the end. We have recommended Darrell to neighbors, family members and anyone who asks. You won't be disappointed if you work with Darrell. He is a joy to work with. He has great vision but also is a great listener. His guidance in the process was invaluable. I don't think we will move anytime soon but if we did and needed to do the work again, we know the architect we'll call. Chris and Maureen H. Fox Chapel, PA”

“Gaskill Architecture designed a beautiful modern home that was tailored to fit my unique building site. Robert's ability to analyze the land and create a design that blends with nature is amazing. The design process was very engaging and the tools he uses were invaluable during the design process. I would highly recommend Gaskill Architecture for their professionalism, attention to detail and understanding of what the client is looking for throughout the design process. Thanks again Bob!”

“Matt is great to work with! He came into the disaster zone that was my first complete property overhaul. His vision paralleled mine and he was able to give advice on design ideas I had not previously considered. For example, I knew I wanted to open up my kitchen to flow into the dining room but Matt had a brilliant idea to that allowed me to do this while also creating more counter space AND a pantry in my tiny kitchen while still feeling very open. With Matt, we also created a whole new bathroom and expanded existing bedrooms by removing one half side of a cape cod roof and replacing it with a dormer that ran the length of the house. It added over 400sq/ft of living space to the house. He was very responsive to any concerns I had and provided me with all the information I needed about my reconstruction design. Matt was available when I needed him and met all timelines. I am more than please with the results and will definitely use Matt on future projects!”

“Entasis developed a complete custom home plan for me and the results were excellent. Made a site visit to evaluate the lot and worked patiently with us to accommodate our wishes and requirements.

“Our meetings with Fisher Architecture were always with the principal along with members of his well-trained and specialized team, and we felt comfortable contacting the principal at any time with questions or concerns. Eric's response time and turnaround for requested meetings was excellent. We sincerely felt as if our project was Fisher Architecture’s most important at all times. Eric has assembled an impressive array of contacts throughout his years in business and we felt comfortable asking for his guidance in hiring contractors, engineers and other resource people. There were many twists and turns in the design process, which allowed us to fully explore different options. Eric was patient and visionary throughout the process. Ultimately, Eric's vision for our renovated riverfront home resulted in a modern concept beyond what we ourselves could imagine while satisfying every one of our initial requests. We are delighted with his unique take on the renovation of our home and are confident that anyone using his services would be equally happy.”

“Jeff DeNinno is an outstanding and creative architect. He designed a new back deck for our home based on a very aesthetically pleasing concept that consisted of natural/recycled materials, unique geometries, and accessible layout that matched beautifully with the look of the home. Jeff does an excellent job understanding client preferences, interests, functionally needs, and budget. His ability to effectively synthesize all of these inputs into a design concept is exceptional. I would recommend him to anyone at the highest level and will definitely work with him again.”

“I hired Sarah to salvage a DIY kitchen renovation that's been at least 4 years in the making. My project had gotten a bit off track and I wanted help with a better design and a clear path forward workplan-wise. Sarah was excellent at listening to my (sometimes super-specific) needs and preferences and incorporating them into a fantastic kitchen design. I already had a lot of materials picked out, various family members doing different pieces of the project, and some stubborn ideas about how I wanted things to be laid out. Sarah expertly incorporated what was good and provided alternatives for what could use improvement. She was respectful of my budget too. I'm so happy with the finishes that she picked for my kitchen and the workplan she laid out. I can't wait to build her design in real life. I've already recommended her to friends. 100% would hire again!!”
