TESTIMONIALS

Paul and his team are the best! We have worked with them to design an addition and renovation of our Shore house. From the beginning, they have clearly and patiently explained the process for not just the design of the structure but the various approvals needed from the township and the process of designing and building the addition. The design of the house perfectly captured our needs, and we had minimal revisions. Equally importantly, the entire PDR team has been so friendly and helpful – they are just great people. We recommend PDR to anyone looking to build or renovate down the Shore!

My wife and I recently bought property at the NJ shore and had interviewed several architectural firms before settling on PDR as the design and architectural firm to work with. From our initial consultation at PDR Designs every member of the team has been warm but more importantly they have consistently demonstrated excellence. Their communication via email, phone calls and Zoom has been prompt and clear making my wife and I feel involved and informed at every stage of the process thus far. PDR has a wealth of knowledge and experience at the Jersey Shore…it just so happens that they are the architects for two of the other houses being built on our street. They listen to our ideas and preferences and embrace our vision delivering the perfect design that meets our needs. The 3D computer design and even virtual reality walk-through has really brought the design of our house to life enabling us to visualize the finished product before we even break ground. In short, PDR Designs has showcased a level of commitment, creativity and technology that truly sets them apart from other architectural firms. We are so happy to have found PDR Designs, we would use them again, and we recommend them to anyone needing an architect.

PDR has been beyond any expectations I ever had ! My builder has said many times he has never worked with an Architect who shows up during the building process to ensure everything is perfect ! Paul also ensured I utilized every single square inch possible, which is amazing being we are at the beach so properties are not huge ! A+++

We couldn’t be happier with our experience with PDR! The plans came out great. Paul and his team guided us through every step of the process, from the small details all the way to representation at our zoning meeting. Their responsiveness and professionalism are unmatched. We would choose PDR 100x over.

Paul and his staff were exactly what we hoped for when we began working together. From the very beginning, we could tell that they were on our team, that they wanted our project to be executed with extreme detail, and that they would make sure that our vision came to fruition. Paul went above and beyond during the whole process…big thank you for the professionalism as well as the kindness

Paul and the PDR team are professionals at everything they do. My wife and I consulted with Paul about a possible addition to our home. He was very thorough and asked a lot of questions that we weren’t even thinking about. Based on the insights he shared from his vast experience, we had much more clarity about the addition we wanted to put on, and were able to move forward being much more educated and informed. We ended up not going through with our addition, because the weekend after we met with Paul, an opportunity came up for us to purchase our dream home, so we ended up moving. I highly recommend PDR for any projects you’re thinking of doing!

I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for what you designed for the rental side of my two family house. Words cannot begin to express how beyond thrilled and over the moon I am with how my renovations turned out. Admittedly, throughout this project there were times I became nervous and second guessed what was being done. But, now that everything is done and ready for final inspections, I can see the absolute brilliance of what you suggested in order to make the most effective use of the space while bringing it up to code. This was no easy feat considering the house being over 100 years old and other logistical constraints. Now that it is just about ready for rental, the layout of the entire space feels so much more spacious and modernized while still honoring the history of the house.

In the past year, my wife and I contacted Paul at PDRdesigns with an unusual idea to convert a bi-level home into a two story colonial. If that wasn’t difficult enough, we asked Paul to allow for a full cellar as well. Paul carefully listened to our requests for large open spaces, comfortable bedrooms with walk-in closets and elegant baths. His designs and concepts reinforced his knowledge of construction techniques with a trained eye on detail. With our project completed, Paul and PDRdesigns have transformed our home beyond our greatest expectations! Thank you Paul for making our dream a reality!
