I was very impressed with the level of care and consideration for the home. How they accounted for the lot size, coordinated with my local building department, took my budget into consideration, my individual family's needs and future proofing the homes for a potential sale down the line based on the specific location, all of it was wonderful. I cannot recommend them enough!

I found Tim Lener Architect during a search for local architects while contemplating an addition on…read moremy house. His work fit with the style of our house. We needed an extra bedroom and were thinking of relocating the laundry room from the basement. Tim came to our house listened to what we said and quickly put together an addition that ticked all the boxes and matched the style of our 1927 hip roof colonial. Now when I have people over and they ask about the addition I have to show them what's new. The addition fits so well with the rest of the house it's hard to tell new from old. Tim's price was reasonable, everything was as expected and during construction when we had a few questions(and changes, which architects notoriously hate) he came right over and did the extra work in a timely fashion, for a nominal fee.

Ed seems a nice guy in his first visit so we hired Gemmola & Associates in February 2022 to make a…read moreplan for house expansion. We gave them a retainer of $10,000 as requested. They told us that the work cannot begin until we do a survey. We did a survey, but by then we decided to give up the expansion, and opted for a much smaller job. Before the design started, our plan has changed again and decided not to do any home improvement. We communicated all of the changes in writing in a timely manner, and was acknowledged. Now we have trouble getting our money back. Since we paid the retainer, an associate has stopped by to pick up the signed proposal, talked to us in our driveway, and took us to see an example of their past work. That's it. No one from Gemmola & Associates has since entered the house, or presented us with any plans, drafts, drawings for the work they intended to do, or provided us any work they claimed to have done. An attorney is now working on our behalf. I hope Ed will do the right thing, and return our money.

They drew up the plans for the demolition and rebuilding of our 2nd floor along with an added addition of a Master bedroom suite. They are honest and very professional. They answered any questions that came up and came up with plans to fix the many mishaps that kept arising with the construction. They always answered our calls and emails in a timely manner and met with us on a moments notice.

We had 2 projects done by this duo…read more The first was a renovation of a very small kitchen - to get it to function with modern-sized appliances. Mary (the Ting in the Springer & Ting) did some minor tweaking - walling off a doorway, shifting another - to achieve full functionality within a very tight space. The second - we were having a colonial home built, and wanted a more open floor plan on the first floor, and more equal-sized bedrooms on the 2nd floor. Mary redid the builder's layout completely, placing bathroom and laundry in the interior so that more light would be available for the breakfast area at the corner of the house. The builder (who did not normally like working with architects) was impressed, as the final design was very "buildable" and sensible (from his perspective). We couldn't be happier.

I made sure to have them come by to give me advice on my historic home when they came through Dallas that winter. I didn't hire them to do a major renovation like most of their clients do, but I was very happy with the consultation we had about my house. Todd is thoughtful and deliberate, like a sweet knowledgeable grandfather, and Mary is intelligent and energetic. She even had some brilliant tips for my garden. They seem to genuinely care and had a lot of experience from much older homes up North to draw from. Their perspective made me excited and confident about the changes I'll be making to my historic home in the next couple years.
