I am a custom home builder and worked with many architects in the last 20 years. Reuben is always…read moremy #1 choice to work with for all kinds of projects because of the following reasons: 1. 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

Be cautious of this man. He's a snake oil salesman…read more He asked me to come for three interviews in one-hour drive to a remote location in upstate New York. (Yonker office is deception) I agreed to the salary each time, and he gave me a firm handshake multiple times on agreed amount. He told me to give two weeks' notice on my current job and then low-balled me at the contracting time. I almost became homeless because of his failure to keep his word and promises and lack of empathy.

He not only…read moreprovided refreshing ideas for our design, but he was extremely attentive throughout our whole design process. Additionally, he provided additional plans when needed without any hassle. I must also note that his plans were so thorough regarding the town's zoning requirements (set back requirements, FAR, coverage rations, etc.). His plans helped make our process easier for both myself as the homeowner and my contractor. Chris is easy going and easy to talk and I would wholeheartedly recommend him for any individual who is looking for a very good architect.

One room had a parquet pattern that was restored to perfection. another room needed minor repairs, which turned out great. I called on short notice and they responded immediately. The crew was on time, professional, and used a dust containment system throughout the refinishing process. They also sealed off each room with plastic to keep any residual dust from settling elsewhere. In order to accommodate my short schedule, the crew applied 3 coats of water based sealant, sanding between applications. They finished the job in just under 3 days, and I was able to move in without incident. I recommend European Flooring without reservation. Eric P.

I must say that his design is working so well. He managed to work with our contractor (Diamond Construction) and we got a lovely functional home that everyone is impressed with as soon as they walk in. You don't even realize it is an addition. John has quite strong ideas about flow and how the house should function. We did have our own ideas (of course) but in the end we used most of his and they worked out great. In the actual build, things got modified for how structure was, things that can't be predicted and it all came out seamless. Very happy with John and the new house.
