When my wife and I renovated our home in Madison both relationship and process were the key elements in our decision-making process. John started by asking wonderful questions to gain perspective on our goals and what was most important for us. We were so impressed with the idea generation, the collaboration and definition of process and outline. As everyone does, we had an idea of what we wanted in our renovation. John took that to the next level and truly created the best of design with amazing use of available space. We have since moved to other areas where we have worked on each or our new homes. To this day, our experience and the end result with John has been the best. Not only was our home in Madison stunning to look at, but so comfortable to be in. And, as an expected bonus, the value for resale (with an unexpected relocation) was higher than even our loftiest expectations. I recommend John for any type of remodel, renovation, or home design venture.
