“Great Architect! Imaginative as well as pragmatic. "We met Keri as we were planning a kitchen renovation, screened-in porch addition and front porch portico addition which would require a variance from the local zoning board. Keri came over to chat, get a sense of our space, our interior design style, and review our scope of needs versus wants (something very important). We could tell immediately that Keri was able to envision what we were looking for as the end result. Keri completely re-designed (what I thought was already a great design because I did it!) our kitchen space in a creative, timeless, far more efficient design than I could ever think of. Keri displayed her strong technical expertise and design sensitivity when drawing our three season porch and portico. Everything was brought to life in not only perfect scale but also considerate of the home's age and it's placement into the neighborhood landscape. Keri is very detail oriented but has a unique way of translating those details into a cohesive design that you can understand and relate to. Keri was always available for us. She was prompt, prepared, and eased our fears throughout the entire process. That's the kind of experience you want when going thru a design and construction project.”

“Gail is a very talented architect, a pleasure to work with, and has unusual creativity. We began design of a new home with Gail Hallock, Inc. in April, 2011 after working with a number of other architects for about a year on preliminary designs. It was important to us that the architect understood the project holistically. Most seemed to concentrate on the exterior and not the livability & flow of the interior - requirements important to us. Gail deftly sketched throughout our conversations making sure we were on the same page. She was adept at picking up our 'style'. She does not produce cookie-cutter homes. During construction Gail handled problems adroitly and turned many into an opportunity to take something and make it even better. The creativity that Gail demonstrated with our home amazes me even today, a year after taking up residence. There's not a day that goes by that I don't look at some detail Gail created and think how beautiful it is and how lucky I am to live here. Gail is also one of the kindest people I have come across, plays well with others and was a strong and demonstrative advocate making sure that our home was built exactly as specified and with the correct materials throughout the project. We feel very fortunate to have found her. She does wear some fairly silly hats.”

“I worked at A4 Architecture for 5 years. During that time I worked closely with the firm's principal and staff. A4 Architecture always went above and beyond in their efforts to provide the possible best design while paying close attention to the client's preferences and needs.”

“I've worked with 8TFive studios on a few different architectural projects. I highly recommend their services. Neil (the owner) is professional and reliable.”

“I've worked on several large projects as a builder with Blackbird Arch. Their plans are always spot on, design consultation and advice is excellent, and their customer service from both a quality and timeframe standpoint are second to none.”

“Glen is absolutely wonderful. I can't wait to hire him for my next project. He has such great new ideas”

“Working with Bailow Architects was nothing but a pleasure from our first interaction. Having taken on our first major home renovation project we were a little nervous about the whole project, but Chris' knowledge around construction, great eye for design and problem solving abilities needed for renovating an old house always impressed us, and put our minds at ease! Our contractor has also continued to praise the design put forth and what a fantastic job Chris has done on our project. We are so happy we went with Bailow Architects and would hire this company again in the future.”

“Paul was a pleasure to work with. He was recommended from a contractor that was bidding our project. We ended up not going with that contractor, and was a little worried that it would impact our project, but it did not at all. He was professional, took our input and remained within the timeline and budget we had agreed to. I highly recommend Paul for your upcoming renovation!(The project cost range selected was for the cost of Paul, the renovation construction costs were approximately $150k)”

“We had some unexpected structural design needed on our new home remodeling. Allan was very responsive, thorough, and professional in addressing the needs of our project. It was a complete pleasure to deal with him, and I would not hesitate to use him again.”

“Don Richardson was such a pleasure to work with as his design, creativity, knowledge and professionalism were brilliant. Several times, Don went the extra mile (literally) to bring samples, discuss decisions and patiently explore alternatives. His rapport with the crew was fabulous and led to very smooth execution of the project, basically a guest house on our property for our extended family. Don designed the bedroom of our young grandson as a totally sweet cabin room with a stunning view of the trees around it. Our grandson woke up the first morning in his new room, whispering to his mother that he was in the middle of a forest!”
