We are so glad that we hired Yanni for our new house renovation. He is very professional and was…read morealways available to speak with us, almost any time via text messages, emails and phone calls. We knew we didn't have time to visit architect offices and review plans during the week days. After knowing our situation, Yanni committed to working with us on some weekends and nights. His flexibility made this project much easier to manage. He helped with layout designs and gave us so many good ideas to explore. He is an architect and designer. He is also a great resource in helping us selecting a general contractor through the bidding process. He kept us informed of the paperwork process which involves expediting service & DOB. We spent a couple months in planning our layout - looking back it's totally worth it. Every small detail makes a difference once you start the construction. Like any other construction projects, there were times we had to make changes but Yanni stayed on top of the issue and provided options to help us correct the issues. Thank you Paper Plane Architecture and Yanni for making this project a success!!

My kitchen was over 50 years old in a Co-op in Williamsburg, Brooklyn NY. There are strict rules…read morethat ANY work has to follow when dealing with an old building. Pipes, electricity, and plumbing, these three components were so important to deal with and you need LICENSED AND KNOWLEDGEABLE EXPERTS, for an old kitchen like mine. When I signed the contract I left it up to the experts and it was in excellent hands. 1. The team was always on time and even though I was not used to giving my keys out, I learned it was customary so they could come and go with ease. 2. For me this was a BIG expenditure, but after doing a reasonable amount of research MRTA Design was fair and extended themselves on some of the project. 3. Communication was good for all. Although there were things shipped later than liked, MRTA was ready for everything. Martin worked well with Keita Turner the designer of the kitchen. 4. The team worked clean, efficient, professional, attention to detail, and they all were eager for the result to be an extraordinary kitchen for me. Also they cleaned the hallway making sure to not annoy neighbors and even though I had a remolding permission, they kept to the time and even ending each work day earlier than expected. 5. These were not just workers, the team was made up of craftsmen who were professional in cabinetry fabrication (wood and lacquered 2 radiator covers), painter (scraped and evened out an uneven wall). 6. All this is great but see the video for yourself: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FaeKTQ8CKZ4&t=185s

We picked out the materials together and worked on the design! He pays attention to every detail and when the job is finished you never have to call him back with any punch list! What was important to me is the prep work and the clean up! Martin had his own people come in and prep my apartment and his own clean up crew at the end of the job! There was very little dust or damage to any of my furniture. He was there himself directing his crew every day and worked very well with the management in my building! I would highly recommend him for any renovations! He is a pleasure to work with and just wants to do an outstanding job for his clients!

Geoff's services were the best part of my home renovation…read more I needed to fully renovate my childhood home and add a small addition to accommodate our needs. I didn't want to be wasteful and had a specific budget. We also had zoning challenges. Geoff was so creative with our layout and maximized the usability of our small house. He also provided us with an alternative if zoning didn't get approved. The alternative still included everything the expanded version had, so we were covered either way. When it came to zoning, he managed everything for me and had a great relationship with the town. We got everything approved and the committee thought our ideas were great. Then when it came to construction, I was so glad I had Geoff on my side. The builders thought he was super thorough. I appreciated Geoff's advice on what absolutely needed to get done and what didn't, and approximate costs, etc. I felt like he was an advocate for me, and I was so appreciative of his guidance and help throughout the whole project. He's very generous with advice and his time. We absolutely love our home. We are so grateful for our experience with Geoff and highly recommend him!

Plan details: We usually don't see many details on the plans with other architects as much as Reuben got them. This is super helpful to understand well the scope of work and reduced the number of loopholes for the majority of General Contractors/Builders to take advantage of and come up with multiple change orders during the execution and make the journey a very bumpy road. 2. Timelines: He is great on the timeline and a man of words. Don't see many architects following the time commitment. 3. Instantly available for Help Whenever we got any questions during execution, he get back to us right away which makes our guys work non-stop. 4. Understanding homeowner requirements: He understand very well the priorities of homeowners before the starting plans and most of the time hit more than 80% of them at the first draft. 5. Architectural design with practicality: He got great architectural skills and most importantly also takes care of practicality in the layout which has a huge benefit to the homeowner. We have seen many cases for other architects that the closet door is hitting the bed later. Of course, these kinds of problems are not visible/prominent until construction is complete and all furniture is set up in the house. I highly recommend Reuben Gross and that's gonna save tons of time & money down the road. Hasnain Nasar

We had a wonderful experience with Crafted Interiors. They…read moreperformed an extensive renovation of our 2-bedroom 1.5 bath pre-war CO-OP. We purchased our apartment in estate condition with much of it not updated since it's construction in the 1920's. Going into the project we knew we had a reasonable budget to address many of the core issues. However, we were also prepared to face the reality that some items would need to remain out of scope and be addressed in the coming years as our finances permitted. Fortunately, the Crafted team took great care in creating a project plan that balanced our needs, wants, and budget to make our vision for the apartment a reality. The build process was seamless. The Crafted team handled all aspects of the permitting, building approvals, and on-site deliveries. In fact, all we had to do was log into their client portal and submit payments as milestones in the project were completed. That's another thing we really liked about Crafted, they embrace technology and have a client portal that allows you to review invoices, make payments, approve changes and our favorite feature, review photos of the project as it progressed. We our incredibly happy with the final product and can't thank Megan, David, and the entire Crafted team enough for making the renovation such a pleasant experience and leaving us with a beautiful home to raise our family for many years to come.
