Our Green Hammer triumvirate of Russell Vaniea, Lynne Smith and Kevin Nortz was awesome to work with! They did an impeccable job transforming our modest bungalow, known as "Little Larch," into a completely chill, updated gem. The process went smoothly from start to finish, even during Covid times. The overarching theme of the project team was mutual respect, a common goal of excellence, exceptional communication, and positive intent. The ODB meetings, both on-site and virtual, were well-run, informative, and so much fun. Team members held each other accountable to make things happen as planned and on budget. Items that weren’t part of the original scope were handled in such a gracious way and provided some amazing added value. Lynne’s ability to present alternate design ideas was another act of grace. Kevin brought his impeccable structure, planning, insights, and brilliant sense of humor to our ODB meetings and project communications. And, Russell’s amazing attention to detail and calmness under pressure was invaluable. We are indebted to your firm for the excellent quality of work, work ethic, and exceptionally talented team. Every day, we feel so grateful to have had this experience and now get to reside in this beautiful place we call home!
