Carlton in The Beach

we have a 1930s 2 storey home which we'd like to change to open concept on the main floor and expand the kitchen, and expand the family bathroom on the second floor. we also are considering expanding the livable space thru a small addition, attic conversion or garage conversion. however, we did not have a good idea of whether the options we had in mind were physically feasible at what financial and practical costs. Jay Charendoff did an amazing job of making the effort to understand our 'must have's'and our wish list items and then, giving initial written feedback, taking on board additional input from us and proposing solutions with estimates and practical considerations for project execution. Jay also put us in touch with a highly reputable contractor on a no-committment basis for us to further explore some of the construction detail to get a written scope of work and quote. Jay's hourly fee is very reasonable at $75/hour. He gave us his fee estimate and he stuck with it. Jay helped us take certain ideas off the table, and in fact gave us solutions we hadn't thought of. We're probably a couple of years away from any renovation, but now have a specific project that we're saving for and realistic expectations of what we can and cannot do with our house.
