CLIENT TESTIMONIALS
SHAUNA SULLIVAN REILLY
"I cannot say enough great things about working with Nick DeMaio. Building a new home can be an overwhelming process, but from the moment we started, Nick was an incredible partner. He was the consummate professional throughout the entire project, but more importantly, he felt like a true collaborator. He didn’t just draft plans; he really listened to what I wanted and consistently offered thoughtful suggestions and creative solutions that made the final result even better than I had envisioned. One of the things I valued most was how well he worked with me, the town and my contractor. It was such a relief to have an architect who was so proactive, easy to communicate with, and always on the same page with the construction team. It made the entire process run so much more smoothly. I am absolutely thrilled with how my new home turned out. If you’re looking for someone who is talented, professional, and genuinely cares about the project, I highly recommend Nick."
NISHIL PATEL
"We had an amazing experience working with Nick. He completely transformed our 1979 3 bed/3 bath home with a dated exterior, into a beautiful 4 bed / 4 bath with a new mudroom, laundry room, and fully updated exterior.
Nick is creative, detail-oriented, enthusiastic, and truly listens. His ideas made our layout far more functional for our family, and the exterior redesign has completely transformed the home. We originally found him after admiring one of his many projects around Rowayton, and his work on our home exceeded anything we could have expected. We also worked with a contractor recommended by Nick (Schroder Home Improvement) who ended up being a perfect fit for the project, which made the entire process smoother and far less stressful. If you're looking for an architect, I cannot recommend Nick and his team enough."
SARAH KONECKE
"We had a fantastic experience working with Nick DeMaio on our recent home addition. Nick completely reimagined both our entryway and the upstairs layout while connecting new space to the old. He brought fresh, creative ideas to the table while staying true to our original vision.
From early on, we knew the project would require a variance, and Nick developed a plan that met our goals while minimizing the size of variance needed. He navigated the entire process on our behalf with the town seamlessly.
Throughout the project, Nick worked collaboratively with our builder, decorator, as well as the town making the overall project feel both exciting and manageable. Nick was a pleasure to work with, and the final transformation truly exceeded our expectations."
MICHAEL KAMINS
"Nick’s the absolute best. Not only is he an immensely skilled architect, but his response time is exceptional, and his ability to articulate creative solutions unrivaled. There’s certainly a plethora of architects in the area. Yet, if you want one who’ll be by your side (despite a million questions) through all aspects of design, permitting, build etc., he’s your guy. Highly recommend."
AMY REBBECHI
"Nick designed a full house renovation and addition for us. He was thoughtful and easy to work with and the final plan was better than what we could have hoped for. COVID had us rethink doing the entire project at once and so Nick helped us phase it in the most practical and economical way. Phase I is done and we love it!!! We are excited to finish the project when things settle down and look forward to working with Nick again. Highly recommend."
CHRISTINE BROOKFIELD
"My husband and I were searching for an architect to redesign our kitchen, basement, master closets and outdoor space. It was important for us to have a collaborative relationship where we could talk through our ideas to bring our vision to life. So when we met Nick we knew he was the right person for our project. He has a great sense of design and is up on all the current trends. He did a wonderful job of helping us to create beautiful, inviting spaces in our home that we will enjoy for many years to come. We couldn’t be happier with the end result. Nick is responsive and a pleasure to work with. We highly recommend him!!"
CATHERINE LEE
"It was a pleasure to work with Nick on our home renovation. From the beginning, Nick had a vision for our 1950’s colonial. We wanted the house to have a cohesive flow from the kitchen to the family room, living room, and office. Nick listened to what we wanted while adding his expertise as an architect and our desires and the final layout turned out open, smart, easy to live in and beautiful.
One of my favorite parts of the design was the kitchen. He balanced aesthetics with functionality, and the final result truly exceeded my expectations in terms of visual appeal and practical elements, enhancing the livability and use of the space. We all know the importance of a functional yet beautiful kitchen!! Nick did not compromise function over visual appeal but was able to marry the two beautifully.
We cannot say enough about our newly constructed main bathroom, which has exceeded all expectations in both layout and attention to detail. Nick created a spacious and warm floor plan. One standout feature is the ample cabinet space integrated into the vanity and surrounding areas, now adding to the overall aesthetic and creating a clutter-free environment. He designed a space that is visually stunning but also a joy to use.
I wholeheartedly recommend Nick to anyone seeking an architect. Throughout the project, Nick was accessible, addressing any questions or adjustments with a genuine willingness to help. He has a great vision, and his dedication to excellence and client satisfaction is truly commendable."
DANA & JIM BOWERMAN
"My husband and I worked with Nick in 2023 to finish our basement, which included building a kitchen, living room, office, gym, and full bathroom. Nick quickly got to know our style and vision and worked with our construction contractors to bring everything to life. Nick patiently created several versions of the space, and continued to edit and create new versions until we landed on a final design. Nick was quick to pivot as construction was underway to meet the needs of the moment and he did his best to incorporate new ideas I had along the way. Nick had great attention to detail and helped us add many customized features throughout the space. He had a great eye for design as we picked out paint colors, tiles, flooring, backsplashes and so much more. Nick was a direct communicator, very knowledgeable and timely and I would fully recommend Nick to help with any home improvement or construction project. We absolutely love how our space came together and it was a pleasure to work with him."
