Love the layout! You should be proud. It was better than I imagined on paper.
As our project draws to completion, and we reflect on our journey this past year, we can’t imagine how different the outcome might have been if we had not been referred by friends to find you. Your expertise, guidance, and communication skills made this project so much easier than it might have been. Ken and I both feel that you listened to us, which was so critical in bringing our vision to reality. We couldn’t have ever imagined how great our house could be when we started this renovation.
Many of our neighbors shared their nightmare construction stories, so that we, as you know, were very hesitant to take on this project. We are just so pleased that it appears we have come to the end unscathed. Although our inexperience caused us to panic a few times, your experience and your office staff helped to guide us through those tough hurdles.
We can’t thank you enough for your recommendations of builders, and for how happy we are with the outcome. Please stop by any time to see your design in 3D!
I just wanted to let you know that we took occupancy of the house last weekend. To say that we are thrilled would be the understatement of the month. The design that you developed is outstanding. The outside looks beautiful, with pretty lines that are not too busy. Inside, the amount of natural light is amazing. We almost don’t need to turn on any lights. You were able to put all of the things that we wanted into a relatively small space, without it feeling tight or cramped. The 9ft ceilings and cathedral ceilings give a sense of roominess that really works for us. And, between the deck and the porch, we may never need to go to the beach!
I wanted to let you know that your hard work and creativity are greatly appreciated.
House is wonderful! I love the feeling of spaciousness and open living space, with lots of natural light and wonderful views that the decks provide. It’s everything I wanted and then some. Thanks for a great job.
I am fairly certain I emailed you a while back but in case I did not, I wanted to let you and Craig know how happy I am with my home. Please pass the message on! Hope you are enjoying your summer.
Thank you for the work that you did in designing the house that we built on Long Beach Island. We really are enjoying the house and find it to be very comfortable. We appreciate the time that you spent with us and for listening to what we wanted in a house and transforming those ideas into a design that exceeded our expectations. We really enjoyed working with you as you made the process much easier than we expected. We also want to thank you for recommending that Erik Johnson be added to our list of contractors that bid on constructing the house. We awarded the bid to Erik and he also was a pleasure to work with and had very good input into the interior and exterior details during the construction. We really feel that we have a very well constructed house that was finished within the timeline he originally agreed to. Erik has proved to be one of the most professional and trustworthy contractors that we have had dealings with.
Please pass along to Craig that we saw our house for the first time this week. It is framed. Windows went in Tuesday, shingles on the roof yesterday and today. We were there Monday through Wednesday to do electrical, plumbing and HVAC walk throughs, buy appliances, e.t.c.
We’ve been getting almost daily pictures from a neighbor, but seeing it in person was very exciting. We really love the way the house is turning out. The layout is great. We need to rethink some furniture plans a little, but we can see it is going to be a fun house to live in.
I’m certainly delinquent but better late than never. Beth and I are very happy with our house and would like to thank you for a great design. The layout has worked extremely well and our views are terrific. On a clear day you can even see the top of Barnegat Lighthouse with binoculars during the day. We still have some moving to do before we start living in it full time but we’ve got a house in Shamong to prep and then sell. You’ll have to stop over and take a look to see the finished product.
I just wanted to take this opportunity to thank you for your efforts related to my remodeling project at 35 Amy Drive in Manahawkin.
I thought your firm delivered an outstanding level of professional service and am very pleased with the design and overall outcome of the project. I also appreciated your flexibility in immediately addressing some concerns that arose during the course of the project.
You can feel free to use me as a reference in the future should the need arise as I would speak very highly of you & your firm.
Thank you again and I wish you the best of success i the future & enjoy your summer.
Our experience with Craig Brearley was purely a pleasure! He is an extremely talented and dedicated Architect.
We were thoroughly impressed with his extraordinary listening skills which were proven when he designed a stunning home for us that met all elements of our life style.
He was diligent and attentive in our planning meetings and remained committed to our timeline throughout the project which was also supported by his wonderful staff.
If you want to take the stress out of designing your dream home, Craig Brearley will help you do that!!!!!
