Testimonials

He took our somewhat unwieldy wish list, and thoughtfully integrated it into a design to renovate a 1925 Tudor Revival (no small feat!). Now that we are in the process of building, I am even more amazed by how our new home flows and fulfills all that we had hoped for.
-Ashleigh & Andrew R.
He did an excellent job of listening to what we said we wanted in our new home (in terms of functionality, flow, style, and feel), and designing a home that is exactly what we wanted, and exceeded our expectations.
-Barry and Kelsey J.
Over the years, we have given your name to friends who have asked. I give them your name and follow up with, "Charlie has a light touch." And by that I mean, you delivered new spaces that sit comfortably next to old ones. Inside and out.
-Tom & Clark H.
