Elterman Finer Architects, PC

Elterman Finer Architects, PC is an outstanding firm and my husband and I couldn't be happier with the impeccable service and impressive detail this firm provided to us during the design and build of our new home. Mr. Finer's attention and responsiveness to our questions and desires made the process exciting and enjoyable when it could have otherwise been stressful and unpleasant and we couldn't be happier with the end result of our beautiful new home, so much so that we can't wait to hire him again on our next build project. He is a gentleman and knows how to deal with the town building department and construction personnel on the job in a courteous and efficient way to get the results necessary for a successful build. Couldn't be happier! Patricia and Matt, Rumson, NJ

Absolutely the BEST small architectural firm in New York City. Carl and Laura at the Elterman Finer Architects impressed me from the initial interview and continued to amaze me with their design sense, dedication to our project, availability throughout the build-out, and professionalism. They are both great listeners and patient consultants who were able to take my vision and execute it into a design that was above and beyond my greatest expectations. This husband and wife duo are both certified architects who met in architecture school. They are wonderfully complementary professionally. Carl is a genius in architectural design, while Laura shines in interior design. I always felt that there was excellent communication among them, so that the structural design and interior design proceeded hand in hand in a uniquely integrated manner. While acting as the project manager for my construction, Elterman Finer Architects were rock solid in their persistence and patience. They ensured that any and ALL issues with the contractor and the sub contractors were handled expeditiously. They were available to me at all times and never let me feel overwhelmed or alone in dealing with myriads of challenges that invariably arise when going through a gut renovation project in Manhattan. I am forever grateful for a masterfully designed and executed BEAUTIFUL project. I recommend the Elterman Finer Architects with the greatest enthusiasm.

EF Architects are professional, creative and very easy to work with. I have worked on a number of their residential and commercial projects as a millwork vendor and have not had better cooperation, detailed drawings as they produce. I have also never seen clients as satisfied with the total design and building experience with any other architecture firms.

Did 2 projects with Carl. A true professional . Very detailed in every aspect. Always available to answer any questions that arose. As an Electrical contractor I wish all architects have this level of detail

Elterman Finer did an incredible job. All phases of work, from planning and design through completion of the project were professional and well organized. We began with an addition to our 1920's home and the design perfectly incorporated the older portion of the house with the newer one. We continue to use Elterman Finer for smaller architectural and interior design projects and are just as happy as when we started with them 3 years ago. I would highly recommend Elterman Finer.

I hired Elterman Finer Architects to be my architect for my apartment combination. I highly recommend them. Both Carl and Laura are wonderful people - thoughtful, smart, a joy to work with. They both listen well and incorporated my ideas with their design. This was the second apartment they designed for me and both projects came out fantastic and I loved working with them. They are talented architects with a wonderful aesthetic.

Laura and Carl are consummate professionals in their field. We used their architectural and design services to combine and gut-renovate two separate apartments into one. They listened to what our needs were, and their overall design exemplified how we would live in the space. They listened, and offered sound advice in designing our ideal home within our budget and our tastes. I highly recommend them! We cannot thank them enough for the thought and consideration they put into making a beautifully designed home for us that we continue to enjoy!

EFA is a top tier team for anybody who is serious about planning a home project the right way. Laura and Carl are exceptionally talented architects and interior designers. They exert themselves in every way to transform your design dreams into reality, as if it were their own home or personal project. What we love about them is that they don't push their own style or agenda on you; but they do love to collaborate with you and stimulate fresh ideas about the path forward. Simply put, it's exciting to work with them ... from the initial planning all the way through to the conclusion of the project.
