Reviews of DeMotte Architects (Architect)

The Speisman’s

Brad was excellent from day one. He graciously took the time to sit down and explain the scope of our project and the various items that would need to be completed, before we even hired him for the job. His attention to detail and responsiveness are excellent He came up with an excellent design for our home and was able to help us navigate a few bumps in the road as well. His plans include every detail and are very nicely done. I would highly recommend Brad for any project.

Brad DeMotte is our architect on a new home and pool house. He been able to produce a construction plan exactly as we described, and he has done so in a timely and professional manner. He has been read readily available by phone or email throughout the process. He was worked very closely with our builder and has been on site during construction, which has been very valuable. I would definitely work with Brad again, and I highly recommend him for anyone needing an architect.

Working with Brad DeMotte was the most pleasant of part of building a custom home. He came up with a design which best utilizes the space and reflects how we live. He is very knowledgable, responsive and professional and kept on top of a rigorous approval process. Brad is a good listener and provides honest, valuable feedback. Our builder said that his plans were meticulous and complete and was so impressed with Brad's work that they have collaborated on other projects. We are most pleased with how everything turned out and have not hesitated in recommending Brad.

Brad designed a beautiful outdoor space that was unique to us but still timeless in its design. This design was translated into impressive detailed construction drawings that our builder commented was the best he has seen. The final constructed project exceeded what we had envisioned.

I wanted to add and extension and a full renovation to the upstairs of my house. Brad and his team guided me through the process of the design phase and helped me create a full additional master suite, as well as a fully modernized kitchen area. Brad also helped me choose a construction company and monitored the progress throughout the project, The finished product was fantastic and beyond my expectations.

I was so lucky, happy and grateful that I hired Brad as the architect to design my dream home. He is such a good person and was very professional from start to finish. He listened to my ideas as we designed the house together & incorporated those ideas. He paid attention to all my wants & needs, then took those and enhanced them. His suggestions were very valuable, which I always took into serious consideration. His response to my requests in any form, whether by phone, mail, e-mail, or message were always prompt. His professional work quality is outstanding.......I think you would agree with me if you look up those pictures of my dream house. A picture equals thousands of words. Everything about him is excellent. I was so grateful for his service, that I put his name on my house corner stone (see picture attached), from which you can see my appreciation.

We would highly recommend Brad DeMotte and his team. Brad is professional, patient, very responsive and incredibly thorough. He has a great sense of design and understands how to make a new addition transition seamlessly into the existing structure. Brad is a great listener, but he is also not afraid to make recommendations based on his extensive experience with the design and construction process. Brad is creative and talks through options, shares ideas and sketches during design meetings and makes great suggestions. My husband and I were impressed with the thoroughness of his work. He is well informed about zoning laws and the overall construction process with regard to obtaining permits. His plans are extremely detailed and clear. We are in the process of bidding out our project and every builder we have met with has commented on the level of detail, saying that they wished that all the architects they work with had drawings as detailed as Brad’s. Finally, Brad has a lot of integrity and is sensitive to budgetary constraints. We would not hesitate to work with Brad again.

Can't say enough positive things about Brad. We interviewed several architects and after meeting Brad It was immediately clear to us that he was who we wanted to work with. We had a vision for a few remodeling projects and he was able to pull our ideas together to create a plan and design that we are thrilled with. He is professional, creative, and responsive. He provided us with thoughtful feedback throughout the process and continues to make himself available to address our questions and/or concerns. We are so appreciative for his guidance and would highly recommend his services to others.

Brad Demotte has been the architect working on my house in Westchester. Building a house is a difficult process and finding a great architect makes all of the difference. Brad has been amazing to work with!!!. He responds instantly with honest feedback and good ideas. He designs the house for the way you want to live in it. He thinks of your family and lifestyle in every room. Brad makes you feel like your project is so important even if it is not the biggest thing he is working on. I have never seen such a level of pride and professionalism. Although my house is still in design phase I feel comfortable I am with the right architect. So far is has been the best choice we have made. I want to thank brad for helping us through this difficult process. I look forward to someday living in my beautiful home designed by DeMotte Architects.

My partners & I are developers, primarily doing spec high end residential projects in Greenwich & the surrounding area. This project in particular involved the design of a 2 family luxury townhouse on a very tight infill site near downtown. Each house was approximately 6,600 SF with high end finishes, with the exterior to be classic & timeless. Approximate sale price $5,000,000. Our interior designers recommended Brad DeMotte after working with him on other projects, as they were very impressed with his work. After meeting with him as well as other architects, we chose to hire Brad based on his experience......specifically his design ability & the quality of the construction drawings. The initial design concepts were very close to our vision & program, so he was clearly listening & responding to our comments. As the design developed, it just kept getting better as it was being refined. Getting the initial concept right is one thing, but we were equally impressed with his design ability to develop it further down to the little details. He was always very responsive (whether by phone or email) & always met our deadlines. The construction drawings were equally impressive....very detailed, accurate & thorough. We didn't involve Brad during construction because we really didn't need to, as the drawings were that good. We can't say we've had the same experience with other architects who were nonresponsive during construction when questions or problems arose. He did visit the project numerous times during construction & offer advice, even though not being paid to do so. To me, this says a lot about his customer service & that he truly cares about his projects. In summary, we were very impressed with Brad & would surely hire him again & recommend him to others.

We met Brad through our contractor, Damian Amodeo, and have been very happy with his work, professionalism and exquisite taste in design. He has had several great ideas and thoughts a long the way that have made our project one that will function but also be visually stunning. Having an architect's hand in a project really is the key to its success. We never felt pushed or pressured but simply aided in the design process. Brad also got our drawings done much faster than normal because we were in a time crunch to beat the winter frost for laying the foundation. We highly recommend Brad and so glad to have met him!

I am a builder-remodeler and I thoroughly enjoy working with Brad and his team on their projects. Brad has a true knack for seamlessly integrating his additions so much so that when the projects are completed you would never suspect the extent to which the homes have been renovated or enlarged. As a builder I can attest to the level of detail in their drawings and the care in which they work through the details. Brad and his team produce a top notch set of construction drawings and they are readily available during construction to walk and work through any questions or design decisions that arise during construction. I look forward to many more years of collaborating with Brad and his team.
