Subject:  Architect Recommendation

Comment:  We used Erin Vali for a recent kitchen renovation. He's great. It's came out beautiful and he had terrific ideas on how to maximize our space.

Comment:  too have used Meng Chew as a contractor and Erin Vali as an architect on more than one occasion (both residential and commercial) and have had truly wonderful experiences with both of them.(Feb 2012, in response to review below)

Comment:  My architect, Erin Vali, was just superlative, kept tabs on everything, wonderful guy and had a brilliant vision. In the end, the renovation turned out spectacularly due to both of them.People often say many scary things about their renovation experience, but mine was just perfect--I had a great architect (erin vali, ulterior mode architecture) and contractor (meng chew, Tjun Industries) and I would go through the experience again, no question. Both of them have done great residential and commercial work and work well together or separately.

Comment:  We hired Erin Vali, a local brooklyn architect, to do a large renovation on a very old, neglected brownstone that needed a LOT of work. From start to finish--he was a true superstar--knowledgeable and made brilliant suggestions. He listened to us at every stage, drew up wonderful, imaginative, innovative plans and ideas, and created a perfect mix of traditional and modern for our house. He managed the project from beginning to end, and worked closely with the contractor (he has wonderful relationships with people), and was just a pleasure to deal with at every stage. I have also seen his other work (which is why I hired him) both renovating and combining two apartments and was very impressed. I strongly recommend him.
