Best of Houzz winner Home Builders in New York, NY

“I used 1625DB for my first ever home renovation! I had no idea what I was getting into but luckily I was in good hands! I can't say that everything, every step of the way went exactly as planned but from what I've heard that is to be expected. My home came out beautiful! I am thrilled would recommend this company. Having the designer with my contract was so important for my project since there were a zillion choices since it was a gut renovation. Jayani was a pleasure, very patient as I reviewed lighting fixture after lighting fixture until I found the perfect one (one's) ditto for tiles and the other choices.. I was very particular about what I wanted and never was made to feel bad about all my questions. The team knows what they are doing, were very responsive, for the most part we finished on time (there were some unforeseen circumstances as I was renovating a pre-war that had not been touched in ages). And a highlight- they have been here to help me with every question and tweak after the renovation- that has been SO appreciated!!!”

“Xiomara and the team at Paredes-Grube were a pleasure to work with during the renovation of our turn-of-the-century home. We were specifically looking for an architect with experience preserving the charm of older houses, and several neighborhood recommendations pointed us directly to Xiomara. We felt we were in good hands from the initial consultation through the design process and the completion of the construction documents. Their recommended network of contractors and kitchen designers was excellent; the professionals we chose did such a beautiful job that we could not be happier with the result. At our initial consultation, Xiomara listened closely to our vision and asked insightful questions about our lifestyle and how we planned to use the renovated spaces. We truly appreciated the thoughtfulness of her approach and her focus on functional design. We iterated on concept drawings until we were happy with the proposed layout. At each step, Xiomara explained in detail why she designed things a certain way or why certain requests were not feasible or recommended. The flow of the house now makes perfect sense; the rooms were planned to maximize every square foot, even accounting for future furniture placement during the earliest design phases. The detailed design documents followed, including all side elevations, which we refined further. Xiomara and her team were always responsive to our revisions. They were knowledgeable about projected costs and town regulations, and they were incredibly patient as we explored every possible design option. As a result, we are confident that we ended up with the best possible design for our needs. One area for improvement—which may already be addressed for more recent clients—would be the inclusion of 3D renderings. While we worked primarily from 2D elevations, we believe 3D models would have helped us grasp the geometry of the additions more easily and allowed for even faster decision-making. Finally, the construction documents were completed without any major issues. When a few revisions became necessary due to unforeseen structural conditions and town official requests, the team delivered them with a very quick turnaround.”

“Transforming an outdated space into a modern masterpiece! Grandeur Hills Group, led by Alisher Fahri, completely revitalized my aging house. I was hesitant to start such a large project, but their team's calm demeanor and expert advice put me at ease. Their pricing was transparent, and they stuck to the agreed-upon timeline. The quality of the work was superb, and the finished house feels like a dream home. I'm incredibly grateful for their meticulous work and highly recommend them for any home improvement project.”
