Studio 810 Design/Build

Our recently finished basement has become our favorite space in our house. We had at least two contractors ghost us after walking through our original 1930s unfinished basement. A couple months later, I tried again after seeing Tim's pictures on Houzz of his basement work. He did a walk through and I was immediately smitten with his ability to discuss both the engineering side of things and the design potential. He saw our basement as the challenge it was but was excited to rise to that challenge. As a woman, I appreciated that he treated me as an equal and we often had brainstorming sessions to overcome especially stubborn obstacles. As I was on a work sabbatical during the time they were here, his crew became like part of our extended family and I felt very comfortable sharing my space with them. He was always upfront about the cost of each part of the process so I there were no surprises at the end of the project. He did things by the book, ensuring that they were done right and within code. After the project ended, we had an issue pop up that was the result of a decision we (both Tim and I) made during the remodel. Unlike what you might expect with some contractors after a project is considered done, Tim was immediately responsive and working with us to find a solution at no additional cost. Finally, I have to give a shout out to his office manager, Judy. She was so helpful during the design phase when we were selecting different elements and just was fun to work with. Overall, working with Studio 810, Tim, and his crew was a very positive experience and I would do it again in a heartbeat. Kitchen remodel Tim?

Tim as an architect: My wife and I bought a 23 acre property in April of 2021 and spent a while talking to different architects to begin the process of building our dream home. We eventually came across Studio 810 and met with Tim in person and felt like we had finally found someone that understood what we were looking for while also showing true passion for the project. When we went over Tims profile we didn't see anything that had the type of style we were going for. He made it clear to us that it was important to trust him as an architect when it comes to capturing what the customer wants. We may not have liked the style of some of his past projects but the important thing is each of those customers loved them and that's what makes a great architect. We came to Tim with a long list of what we were looking for and he nailed it. The layout was exactly what we were going for and the drawings showing the front and back of the house were exceptional! We were blown away and could finally see our forever home. Tim as a builder: Luckily for us Tim was also able to bid on the project as a builder. This was another plus because usually things get lost in translation as another builder interprets what the architect had envisioned, We felt fully confident in Tims abilities to make it come to life and decided to move forward with the process and eventually broke ground in December 2021. 2022 was probably the most challenging year on record for builders because of the number of supply issues distributors faced. Thankfully for us Tim managed to navigate the tricky landscape better than most. There were obviously some delays along the way but nothing major that held up the project for weeks. We asked a million questions throughout the build which Tim took the time to answer and made us more knowledge of the process and better home owners in the end. The most important thing is there was mature communication between us and him the entire time. It was okay if we voiced our disapproval of something during construction and okay for him to push back on some of our ideas that may not have been very well thought out. That to us is the most important piece of the puzzle when starting a project like this. Fast forward to today...we are now sitting here writing this in our brand new house that looks even better than the drawing and could not be happier! Watching our forever home come to life is something we'll never forget and we have Tim and his guys to thank for it.

Tim designed our basement project which included a full bath, kitchen and widened widows and doors. We are very pleased with how it turned out and it is now our favorite space in the house. We liked the design so much we are working With Tim on a new project currently. Highly recommend!

Our house desperately needed a "face lift" from a 1950's feel to more of an estate presence. Timothy created a design beyond our expectations. As a result, we are in the process of implementing the design.

Tim did a wonderful job finishing our attic. He listened my ideas and turned the space into something even better than I had imagined. I am very satisfied.

Tim is great! We hired him for a small job however like many projects it ballooned on us. Timothy did a fantastic job of rolling with it and is very accommodating to us. His knowledge base is frankly unbelievable. He is so on top of all the codes and knows all the local inspectors that it has made everything smooth. I highly recommend him.

We really enjoyed working with Tim and Studio 810. Tim’s years of experience and “artistic eye” give him an advantage over other builders. He was able to hone in on our interests and design something that was absolutely special. It was so fun working with him because he was truly excited about our dream home. His excitement was appropriately tempered by honesty and realistic expectations when it came to discussing materials and finances. Again, his years of experience give him an advantage. If you are looking to design something exquisite in central Pennsylvania, Tim is your designer.

Tim has been wonderful to work with. His attention to detail and design recommendations have been spot on! By far the most stress free renovation thus far. I wish I had known Tim for the previous projects I have had done in my home.

My husband and I have hired Studio 810 for several projects in our home spanning the past 10 years. Most recently we renovated our 60+ year old kitchen. The project reached into the laundry and a guest bedroom and bath. Timothy did an excellent job with design; he is very creative and capable of solving space problems and maximizing efficiency. He listened to EXACTLY what I wanted in my new kitchen--- and accomplished just that. Studio 810 works with a professional team of craftspeople that do amazing work. They completed the job, and check back with me to see if anything was forgotten or needed extra attention. I am so grateful to this design/build team for my beautiful new kitchen. I will continue to use Studio 810 for future projects, they are a great group to work with.

We hired Tim Strosser of Studio 810 Design for a major renovation and expansion of our home. He worked with us from design and blueprints through decorating. He is creative, efficient and a pleasure to work with. All of his workers treated us and our home with care and respect. I would definitely recommend him and would use him again for future projects!

I hired Studio 810 to remodel my family room and to design my backyard into a backyard oasis. Timothy Strosser and his team were extremely professional and went out of their way to meet the needs of my family. I loved how they used organic material and took in consideration the usefulness and what objects what looked like at different angles. Timothy was also always available (beyond usual business day hours) to discuss ideas and he has an innate ability to understand what you want and actually give you more. Studio 810 demonstrated high work ethic and dedication and I was highly impressed. I have received numerous compliments on my family room and out door area (which is my sanctuary and retreat). I would highly recommend Studio 810 to anyone who wants a quality job with a personal feel.

Studio 810/Tim Strosser was and is fantastic. We used him for a basement renovation. The end result is gorgeous. Tim was always mindful of cost as well. We will continue to use Tim for any and all future projects.
