Design & Construction Firms in Pennside, 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.”

“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.”

“Our experience with Andy and his team at Hillcrest Construction was first rate from start to finish. Andy’s attention to detail and knowledge made our dream of a new deck and outdoor space a reality. Hillcrest Construction delivered a beautiful deck and home improvement project on time. Our family and friends are so impressed... even the County Inspector commented about the craftsmanship and design. It was a pleasure working with Hillcrest Construction and we look forward to bringing them on for future projects!”

“We were very pleased with the work done by Lanchester Grill & Hearth. They were very prompt, professional and personable. They were the first to say they could give us what we wanted when others said it couldn't be done. We LOVE our new fireplace and have received many compliments. Thanks to all! They would be highly recommended.”

“Jon did a great job on our kitchen renovation. Great attention to detail from design ideas to electrical upgrades, etc.”

“Project was a custom home build. Neil Sullivan & his contractors were truly professional throughout all phases of the building project. They provided suggestions & guidance when needed; met all deadlines as promised; were neat & courteous throughout the duration of the project; were very detail-oriented and great problem-solver and proved to be very resourseful. Additionally, after the project was completed, they were readily available for any follow-up issues/questions that arose and they resolved them in a timely manner. The end product was of the highest quality and the process exceeded our expectations. We highly recommend SBD&G.”

“We are working with Tom on our dream kitchen remodel. His knowledge and thoughtfulness have been invaluable in helping us achieve the perfect combination of design, aesthetics, and functionality. It's not uncommon to get emails or calls from him with new ideas we might consider. A pleasure to work with thus far, and we are confident the finished product will exceed our expectations.”
