Residential Architects & Engineers in Reston, VA

"I’m so glad I used EHD! My house needed a total makeover after 25years. My plan was to open the kitchen/living rm./dining rm. into 1 space, completely redo 2.5 baths, plus paint and hardwood floors whole house. I had no experience with this and no idea what to expect. Here are the highlights of my journey with EHD. After interviewing 2 contractors I chose EHD because EHD: 1) starts with a designer who becomes an integral part of the process; 2) included whole house renovation in the estimate whereas the other contractor wanted me to handle the paint and hardwood floors myself; and 3) provided a detailed estimate with line items so I could see what was included in the budget. Once I signed with EHD the planning and process into construction was seamless. I had an original plan for the main floor – the designer made minor changes that increased storage, and greatly improved the beauty, flow and efficiency of the space. She looked at pictures I liked and brought me samples to match. She was VERY detail oriented and listened to what I said. I never felt overwhelmed and really appreciated having the designer’s help. I told EHD generally what I wanted from the start – they knew what I needed and customized their estimate/budget with that in mind. They included recessed lights and upgrades they knew I needed in the estimate. I was concerned about being nickel and dimed later in the process, but that never happened. Once demolition started it was every weekday from 8-4. Best if you can NOT be home, but I have large dogs that I couldn’t leave with the workers, so I was home the entire time. EHD was GREAT about the dogs. From the start we planned to shift and isolate myself and the dogs into 1-2 rooms at a time so the work could be done and this worked well. On to the work itself – it is fabulous! Top-qualify craftsmanship and I’m so pleased with the results. Throughout the construction there were approximately 15 workers through the house. I knew everyone by name, and all were respectful of me, my property and my dogs. And … the workers cleaned up the construction space every day!! This was important to me with the dogs walking around at night. Renovating whole house is a difficult and stressful process. Not everything went smoothly, but the couple of times I needed to reach John (the owner) I received an immediate response and my situation was resolved quickly. Start to finish the process took longer than anticipated – partially due to the need to fix walls (5 rooms with original wallpaper needed a lot of work!). Still there was room for improvement on the timeline, but this is probably true with any contractor. To sum up – John walked through my house that first day and said he could make it beautiful. He delivered on that promise! Originally I thought it was a lot of money to spend, but now I feel like it’s the best money I’ve ever spent. I love my new house!"

"We highly recommend Mr. Parsoneault. He was responsive, timely, and efficient. We are selling our town house and the home inspection report indicated we needed to have the cracked truss issue in the attic evaluated by a structural engineer. He analyzed the situation and made the appropriate recommendation. While at our home we requested to have an additional deficiency analyzed and he kindly accommodated us. Paul delivered the engineer sketches promptly so we can have the deficiencies properly executed. I would definitely call him again!"

"Tim Greenwood is very professional. He was prompt, explained everything he would be doing in terms I could understand, and delivered the end product (elevation certificate) when promised. He patiently explained what the results meant and offered advice for next steps. I highly recommend Apex to anyone, especially if you live in a flood zone and have received a letter from FEMA about getting an EC."
