Madeleine Sanchez AIA Architect

Madeleine designed a renovation in which we added a bedroom to our house. She was able to figure out how to turn an odd, unfinished storage space into a beautiful room by adding a dormer with a vaulted ceiling and custom window. She was incredibly helpful in walking us through all of the steps for site surveys, code requirements, and town permits, and provided regular on-site visits and collaboration with both us and our contractor. We are very pleased with Madeleine's work and highly recommend her services!

Madeleine took our project through the Zoning Board of Appeals, where we got approved for construction.. She designed our garage and was helpful throughout the process of constructing it. We had never used an architect to oversee the construction process before, and we were so pleased because she made certain each detail of the project was done correctly. She also made certain that our project stayed on budget. We would definitely work with Madeleine again.

We are beyond happy that we chose Madeleine to be the architect on our addition. We were "newbies" to any type of home renovation and were a bit overwhelmed by all of the decisions as well as all of the steps needed. She patiently and (very) knowledgeably walked us through from original thoughts to construction. She took everything we envisioned and made it better than we anticipated. She was on time with deadlines, made sure throughout the process we knew exactly what was happening and what we needed to do, and is extremely detail oriented. We can't recommend her highly enough.

Madeleine Sanchez recently designed two bathroom renovations for us, and they came out absolutely beautiful. She is a very hands-on architect who ensured that the project was completed quickly and met all of our specifications. She has a wonderful design sense, and broad knowledge of available products and furnishings. She listened well to our goals, helped us refine a vision for the bathrooms, and really brought our vision to life. She was absolutely reliable, accessible, and committed to our project. Madeleine was truly a pleasure to work with, and we recommend her without hesitation. Martha Upton and Peter Davis Garrison, NY

Madeleine's been great to work with. We had a dormer built to create a bathroom from an incomplete project the previous owner started. Madeleine helped from the brainstorm, to the design, to the bidding, to monitoring of the process. She is warm and friendly and it's been a great experience overall.

We used Madeleine to remodel all three of our bathrooms - going all the way down to studs in all three- including converting one from a half bath to a full bath. We also replaced every door in our house and adding pocket doors to our living room. She took us through coming up with the best design, choosing the right contractor, coordinating the purchase of all the fixtures and then oversaw the renovation itself – including while we out of town for a month. As with every project there were some issues. Madeleine handled all of them quickly and with integrity. The final product is wonderful. We have already started on our next reno project! I’m confident Madeleine can shepherd us through the complicated historic district review board process.

Madeleine has been amazing during all phases of our project, to add a master bed/bath to a small house in Garrison and redo the house's awkward siding. Her ideas were great, she listened to us, and guided us throughout the whole project. She's very detail-oriented, organized, and clear, and also fun to be around. Our place looks like a completely different house, which is what we hoped for. Initially we wanted to do a project estimate with several contractors as a way to understand what our budget would need to be, and she was very patient as we figured out how to move forward. She works well with our chosen contractor, too. We recommend her unreservedly!

Madeline Sanchez did an outstanding job transforming our 1970s ranch into a modern home with a new kitchen, bathrooms, and floor plan. Her careful planning, wonderful design skills, and incredible attention to detail ensured that the project went smoothly, stayed on budget, and came out beautifully. She is a true professional and pleasure to work with. Highly Recommend!

I highly recommend Madeleine. She is diligent and extremely organized. She took our ideas into consideration and continuously collaborated with us to help make our home's entry look just the way we wanted it to!

We bought a really terrible house—essentially derelict—on a beautiful property. Madeleine designed the major renovation that transformed that terrible house into the home we plan to live in for the rest of our lives. This included renovating some parts and demolishing and rebuilding others. Madeleine spent a lot of effort listening to us and working to accommodate both of our sets of wishes—not an easy task. She tried many possible designs—and persisted with envisioning different solutions until she had addressed every reservation we expressed. The final plan was approved in one day because Madeleine had attended to every detail. And that level of attention meant that we needed to make only very minor changes once the construction began. Madeleine teamed with me and our building contractor to monitor the construction and problem solve throughout the process. Again, Madeleine's attention to detail provided a high level of support and helped to keep the project moving on schedule. We moved in 51 weeks after closing on the house. We love it. I recommend Madeleine without reservation.

Madeleine Sanchez was hired to handle a house renovation and construction that would add a family room and kitchen to our quant old house. She worked on a variety of options for us based in our budget as well as dealing with our local historic review board. She was available for as little or as much project management that we needed. Her attention to details help us with this process and with dealing with our contractor. All went well on all accords! a BIG recommendation !

I hired Madeleine based on recommendations from several friends, and I am extremely happy I did!! I will definitely use her again. She has great taste, is a good listener, helped me with everything from the big picture to the small details. Her site reports are highly organized, detailed and timely, and proved to be very useful in documenting exactly what was communicated to and by the contractor and when. She was a fair and effective mediator between us and the contractor, was vigilant in ensuring the project continued to progress, and kept it within budget. I can not imagine doing this, or any, project without her!
