Great Architect

We were very pleased with the work that MSH did for us on a large-scale residential renovation / addition. At the onset of the project, MSH listened to our (very scattered) thoughts on the project. Despite our inability to fully envision what we were looking for, MSH was able to come up with drawings that did an excellent job of translating our thoughts into reality. Marc's attention to the minute details of the job was outstanding, and he was extremely accommodating when we requested last-minute changes (necessitating changes to the plans and full reprinting of the certified  drawings). 

MSH also looked in on our job during the construction phase and caught a couple of mistakes that were made by subcontractors - early enough that they could be easily corrected. Thanks to Marc's efforts, we completed an addition / renovation that we are very happy with. We would use MSH again without hesitation - on any size job.

Inspired Renovation,  Ally in Getting Permits

MSH architects were wonderful in helping us design a complete gut and renovation of our home. Marc Hershman talked with us about our desires for the renovation, and conceived of several potential plans for us to review and think about. In the end, he came up with a nice plan that incorporated many of the excellent ideas from several of them.

Marc made an effort to blend in the renovation into the neighborhood, while still accommodating our interior design wishes. Marc is well connected in the world of builders, and found us great contractors to work with (a whole other review!). Marc was also terrific during the permitting process at City Hall, making a difficult process more manageable.

MSH is Outstanding and Adds Tremendous Value

MSH Architecture Associates did an outstanding job in designing our major residential addition. Marc Hershman listened and translated our ideas into an inspiring yet practical design, which was everything we asked for (and more). His painstaking attention to every detail, from the design to the selection of construction materials to the actual construction process itself was very impressive. Although our home is 25 years old, our addition fits so well with the rest of the house (both interior and exterior), so that it looks like it was part of the house the whole time. Every time someone comes into the addition we get rave reviews on the design. Also, a local real estate broker went out of her way to compliment us on the exterior design as well. Marc added tremendous value by catching a major mistake by the general contractor (which we might have only caught when it was too late), and monitored the GC to ensure that the materials he used and the workmanship were up to expectations. What’s even more impressive is that we did not have to ask Marc to play this role, but he did it out of a sense of responsibility to the project, as if it were his own home. Marc demonstrated a lot of commitment to us and to the project during the entire design and construction process, and I would welcome the opportunity to work with him again. I would strongly recommend Marc for any project without reservation.
