Paredes-Grube Architecture - Glen Rock, New Jersey

Begonia

We want to recognize the superb work that Xiomara, Jeffrey, and the whole team at Paredes-Grube did for our big home renovation. The professionalism, expertise, approachability, creativity, and problem solving is simply outstanding . And all of this is specially appreciated during the very stressful and extended time that requires the renovation of your own home. We are finalizing the details and decoration, and can’t wait to share the results with Xiomara, Jeffrey, and the team. Many thanks for improving our lives in such a nice way!

Xiomara and her team were fantastic to work with, from start to finish. They were always completely professional, and accurate with their projections of timelines, deliverables, and expectations. Xiomara was friendly and open to all of our requests - she listened to what we wanted out of our project and did everything possible to make it happen. And she was upfront and honest when things could not be done. Her work is very thorough and buttoned up so that the town and our contractors had everything they needed upfront from the plans provided by Paredes-Grube. We are thrilled with the final designs and results and I cannot recommend them enough, they are a stellar team to work with.

Xiomara and her team are exceptional professionals. We have done three different projects with her architecture firm, all three projects were extensive and largely improved the value of our home. Most importantly, her proposed additions/changes gave us wonderful spaces to enjoy in our day-to-day life. These spaces are our absolute favorite living areas in the house.

Xiomara carefully listens to your needs and wishes; then she is not afraid of letting you know what is realistic and what would actually work best for your space. We kept going back to her over these years because we truly believe her work is valuable. Her designs blend seamlessly with our home architecture and you would never know otherwise. She is highly recommended.

Working with Paredes-Grube was probably the highlight of our home renovation. In addition to their utmost professionalism, timely deliverables, and top-notch work, Xiomara simply loves what she does and it shows. I would recommend them to anyone, and have already recommended Xiomara to my brother who is in the thick of working with Paredes-Grube and also has nothing but amazing things to say about them. Everyone in the firm was excellent at their respective jobs and especially communicative!

After a tree crushed our garage we hired Paredes-grube to design our new garage as well as a patio/fireplace outdoor living space. We have a very complex property so this involved applying for variances and many steps to have this approved. Xiomara and her staff provided professional knowledge and so much attention to detail to help us through this process. We are so happy with the outcome of our space and highly recommend Paredes-grube architecture.

Xiomara, Jeffrey and their team are stellar. I can't recommend them highly enough - total pro's, easy to communicate and partner with, well respected throughout the entire community - for good reason. Highly recommend for any project or problem you encounter.

Working with Paredes-Grube and especially Xiomara was like spending a quiet afternoon with an old friend. We talked about wishes, dreams and utilitarian questions along the lines of usage and needs. Xiomara provided plans that were quickly approved by Glen Rock and she remained engaged with my wife and I as we worked with our contractor. In the end, the finished product is logical, well laid out and extremely pleasing to the eye. There's not a day that I don't walk into our new addition and take a moment to acknowledge how much we love living in it.

Don’t consider any alternatives. This team is phenomenal. They are responsive, creative in their plans, understand the integrity of the home and the homeowners needs, and ultimately deliver plans and help execute and evolve them through to the very end as needed. Xiomara came exceptionally recommended by those who used her services on projects big and small across a number of towns, and as we live in and enjoy our home now it is obvious why. We are absolutely in LOVE with our renovation, and daily people walking by stop to say how much they love the update. We did an extension, added a breakfast room and half bath, updated the facade, and designed a new porch. All elements feel like they are beautifully integrated. Xiomara was able to provide financial watch-outs and solutions to stay on budget, without sacrificing aesthetic. Moreover, working with Susan and the entire team there was painless—they are always willing to help, check in appropriately, and are kind. Truly a rare thing across a business these days. We are so grateful for their expertise and support through the entire process.
