John Power Architect

I would highly recommend John for any architectural project. John was creative, collaborative, and thorough in every interaction. We worked with him for almost a year during our home renovation and he guided us each step of the way, including zoning variance applications, selecting a contractor, monitoring progress, and more. We will definitely work with him on future projects.

John turned our 1930 duplex into a one-family home. He completely redesigned four floors and the internal systems from the ground up. It was an ambitious project for everyone involved and he successfully guided every stage. His plans met and exceed our wishes in both design and functionality. He made handling all the needed permits, submissions, and approvals a hands-free, worry-free experience. He was a pleasure to work with and the work was done on schedule without issue. We couldn't be happier with the results.

John provided specifications for a new beam, post, and footing for my project. He was prompt, efficient, and easy to work with. Highly recommended!

John really helped us a great deal with the logistics and planning of our basement remodel. He was available when needed, and always thorough and helpful with both our requests, and those of the building department. We would highly recommend him to anyone needing architectural services.

Very pleased with our addition. Excellent work, excellent customer service. Worked well with our contractor. Flexible and attentive to our needs.

Working with John was great. He is a hands on professional that I would recommend highly to any friend looking to have architectural and design work done. He over saw the planning and building phases, listened and respected my wishes as well as adding his suggestions and expertise to the project. I am very happy with his company's services.

John was very thorough, accessible, and excellent with communication and follow-through. We will definitely use him again for future projects.

We highly recommend John Power Architect. We hired him to help with an addition to our 1935 Arts & Crafts house. He is professional, trustworthy, intuitive and creative. We raised the roof and opened up two bedrooms, completely renovated one bathroom and added another bathroom, bedroom and screened in porch. His design is organic with the rest of the house and the landscape surrounding.

My house was hit by a tree during Sandy. One side of my roof was destroyed and we sustained over $100,000 in damage to the house. As plans were formed to rebuild the house working with my contractor and a structural engineer I decided to expand the house to make a master bedroom suite,a new master bath and walk-in closet. I hired John Power to figure out how it would be possible to do all this on the second floor of my 1925 Dutch colonial home. John worked with me to develop a plan that I hadn't the vision to do on my own to rework the entire upstairs. He took my suggestions without ego and together we were able to get exactly what we wanted. John drew up professional plans for my contractor and was onsite several times during the long rebuilding and expansion process. He lives in the same village as me and was able to help immensely with the permitting process and with acquiring a variance to existing zoning. I also has John do some interior elevations to help get the dream master bath I had in mind. John is extremely easy to work with, very accessible, and very responsive even when working with tight deadlines. John has earned a high recommendation from me and my family.

John Power is a delightful architect to work with. He demonstrated a high level of professionalism and knowledge. He made an extra effort to research new materials. Our project was an exterior remodel of our house and design of complicated decking and various outdoor rooms and spaces. John was very thoughtful and had clever ideas and solutions to issues that came up during the design, permitting and building phases. He was very careful to ensure that every detail of the job (design, materials, colors, lighting, etc) worked well together so that the result would be a coherent, beautiful and highly livable collection of spaces. John frequently checked on progress during construction, and we couldn't be more happy with the final product. I would definitely retain John again and I have already recommended him to contacts. In fact, I am already thinking about calling him to help with an interior remodel.

He helped us build our second bathroom. He was friendly , on time and suggestive. He is very flexible at the same time stops you from making wrong choices.

John does a good job visualizing a project, and is open to integrating customers wishes / changes into his plans. His prices are reasonable, he works well with the building departments, and gets things done quickly. My contractor was able to work successfully with his plans and finish my bedroom remodel which turned out beautifully.
