Home Renovating Services in Ephrata, PA

“We are writing to wholeheartedly recommend Timothy (Tim) Strosser of Studio 810 Design as a designer and general contractor for home improvement. In 2012, we met Tim at the Philadelphia Home Show, and were impressed by Tim’s portfolio of previous designs and building projects. On his first visit to our home in the Philadelphia suburbs Tim impressed us again with his instant understanding of our home improvement needs. We wanted to build a new bathroom in a little-used space that was attached to our master bedroom, but Tim suggested a much better solution; building an addition to the house’s second floor, and placing the bathroom in it. This way we got a fabulously looking new master bathroom that is an envy of our friends and neighbors, and avoided a mistake of building a bathroom that would be to small and not convenient. Timothy also designed and built for us a mudroom in front of our house, completely redesigned and rebuilt our patio, and changed the siding all around the house. We are very satisfied with the quality of his design and workmanship of his crew. Tim is a very experienced project manager, and he worked hard to accommodate our specific requirements during the project and to adjust all the logistics accordingly. He was able to keep the project deadlines despite very unfavorable weather conditions, the climax of which was Hurricane Sandy. During the project we occasionally changed our mind regarding some details (e.g., selection of tiles), and Tim was always ready to either accept our new ideas or, when they were not practical, offer very good alternatives. During the project we developed a trusting, friendly relationship with Timothy and many of his crew members. We were so satisfied with our collaboration with Tim that, after the first big project was completed, we tasked him with a couple of smaller projects in our house (e.g., staircase renovation), and outside (landscaping). We are sure that, with his great artistic taste, his extensive technical experience, and his understanding of individual clients’ characters and preferences, Timothy can exceed expectations of the most demanding clients. We already recommended the services of Studio 810 to our neighbors, and we recommend them to you.”

“very happy with the design of my master bath. I wanted a large shower and that is exactly what I got! Met with April and we discussed a few ideas and her design was spot on! They will design my other bathroom next year.”

“Pete and his team did a complete refinishing of our basement. It was done in two stages: the first included designing the empty space to make it most functional for us. We needed apartment type living as our daughter and two granddaughters are living with us. We wanted as much light as possible which he accomplished with the installation of extra windows and great lighting. In addition to a living area, we needed a desk area, a bedroom and bath and plenty of usable storage. He covered existing support posts and added closets. The second stage was begun after three years when we decided a kitchen was also needed so Pete again used his design expertise by converting the desk area into a wonderful kitchen which includes plenty of cabinet and counter top space, a refrigerator, sink, dishwasher and stove along with the addition of a beautiful, functional breakfast bar. Pete and his carpenters, plumbers and others were always respectful, on time and kept us abreast of what was happening on a daily basis. There were no unexpected delays. We could not have asked for a better outcome.”

“TK has done several small jobs for me...from installing crown molding to building custom basement window covers. The craftsmanship is exceptional. TK is priced right. They do much larger projects as well but so far, all my jobs have been on the smaller scale. Should I need anything larger, I would not hesitate calling them first.”

“These contractors are some of the best around. They are responsive, reasonable and knowledgeable. I called with an urgent issue before a gusty thunderstorm and they were onsite within an hour!”

“In November of 2016, our home burned down. The insurance company gave us one year to find a builder, make plans, get all permits, knock down what was left of our old home and build a new home. We met with several builders and received estimates from all. It was clear our best choice was Frankland Builders. Dave Frankland, our main contact person, immediately began a very organized process of planning and building our soon to be beautiful new home. Experience, professionalism, and excellent personal skills made this project very successful. There were hundreds of decisions to be made, but through each phase Frankland Builders were organized and clear about choices and maintaining a steady timeline. From demolition, to planning the home, an updated water management system, executing the new build, including landscaping and a new driveway; this project was enormous. If my wife and I struggled with decisions, Dave and his team made themselves available to guide us and make good choices to stay on budget and end up with a fabulous home. In the end, our home was built on time, in budget, and is just beautiful. We are grateful to Frankland builders for taking care of us and getting us back home. Our home is well built, beautiful and made of nothing but quality products. Additionally the workmanship which went into building this home is evident throughout; from the beautiful floors, custom trim, to a well-planned layout, it is a gorgeous custom home. We couldn't be happier and give Frankland Builders the highest rating. Thank you!”

“We experienced a tremendous amount of damage to our townhome with the flood that hit our area in October 2011. We had 16 feet of water, (basement and first floor). Mel was recommended to us and responded to our call the next day. Damage was extensive as you can imagine. Everything had to be redone from the insulation in the basement ceiling, to all electrical and hvac, to replacing the firewalls on both sides of our townhome, to replacing windows, doors, walls as well as the entire kitchen needed replaced. Once the insurance paperwork was "settled" they started--Mel was fantastic in the planning stages, took us out 1 day to shop for all we would need-flooring choices, kitchen cabinets and counters, plumbing and fixtures. We never would have been able to do what was done and have the outcome we have without his help. Once the insurace checks started coming the work really got started and Mel and his team worked diligently and we were back in our "new" home in February 2012. We highly recommend Mel and his team. He is knowledgeable, his team members respectful and hardworking, organized and he kept us in the know with everything that was happening. We definately would recommend him to anyone looking for great work done!”

“I have worked with Luke at Stoltzfus Enterprises on several occasions. He and his family company do gorgeous work, and are very responsive and professional. I have attached a picture of one of the projects they finished with my tiles, and it makes me very proud to have been part of this beautiful room! Thanks to everyone at Stoltzfus Enterprises for your standards of excellence.”

“Chester County Custom Builders transformed our master bath from ho-hum to oh-wow! We couldn't be more pleased. They came up with an awesome design that made better use of space. Their workmanship is exquisite and they are awesome to work with.”

“We hired Jeff to completely remodel our early 90s builders model master bathroom. He and his crew did a fantastic job from design to build. We have a truly custom master bath--a ball and claw cast iron soaker tub, custom designed & tiled shower complete with frameless glass door & window for added natural light, custom mirror over our vanity, beautiful tile floor, an expanded linen closet, and all the little details that make it our favorite room in the house! We were so pleased with Jeff's work (and the respectful way he treated our home during construction) that he was the first one we called when we decided to finish our basement. We did get numerous quotes, but have hired Jeff for our next big project & can't wait to get started!”
