Testimonials

We chose a Scholz Design Plan because we liked the lay out of the home and the detail provided in order to finish the home. Our Scholz Home Design Expert, Barbara, was well informed and very attentive. Not too pushy, but quick to follow up and follow through on what she committed herself to do. When building a Scholz Design home, you have found the home that you drove by and said, "I sure would like to have a home that looks like that. A home with more attention to the details!

My husband and I had a fantastic experience working with the staff of Scholz Design. We reviewed the design book that we ordered and noted the extensive variety of floor plans that were available. These could be mixed and matched to meet our taste and desires. Jeff, our Home Design Expert, always made himself available to me and was extremely helpful and tolerant of my southern heritage. It was great to have a staff that could modify the plan that we liked to best suit our needs. Every bit of the plan showed the lasting quality and livability of the home we wanted to build. I cannot tell you how much we enjoy our home and will always treasure it.

Jeff is a wonderful, informative, knowledgeable person who helped us tremendously. I can't say enough about him. I think you should give him a weekend to fly down and see our house. It is by far the most beautiful in the state and he deserves the credit.

Scholz has helped me get exactly the house I want. They were very good at getting me with current owners of the model I chose, which provided a live tour. Every current owner loved their house and Scholz. That's a testimony to their quality.

Jeff Gerwin consulted with me for several years before we built our home. He was unbelievably helpful and was a big part of our decision to build a Scholz.

Scholz Design exceeded all of our expectations. Not only did our Scholz Home Design Expert supply us with timeless home designs, she alerted us to many additional options offered by the company such as architectural modifications, interior design, and furniture purchases. It was immediately evident that we were her main concern and our satisfaction with Scholz Design was crucially important. The result was our dream home which encompasses a classic design with our family's daily needs in mind. We couldn't be happier.

The house is looking really great! You (Scholz Interiors) have done a spectacular job!!! I'm so glad that we hooked up together. This could have been alot harder with the wrong person. You have saved us alot of time, frustration and headaches. Although it is fun to build...I think over the years we've had our fill of picking things out. Hopefully this is where we will stay for a long time. HOME SWEET HOME!

Excellent designs.

We have found Jeff at Scholz to be very professional and helpful whenever we have called about various matters. We have found the Scholz Design plan that we purchased to be very complete and very well thought out. We have used the plan with hardly any changes because we found the design difficult to improve upon. We are very pleased with the way the house is turning out.

Once again, thank you so much for all the time and effort that you spent in both putting together house plans and in giving suggestions relative to builders and spec homes. As a result of your referrals, we have decided to go with one of your registered builders. We will be using a Scholz designed plan with only minor revisions. We are extremely excited about getting started and will certainly share some finished pictures with you as soon as the house is completed.

Again, many thanks for the help and do not hestitate to call if you have any questions.

Fred and I want to express our appreciation to the Scholz team for the architectural design of our Northern Virginia residence.

I discovered Scholz Design in an architectural magazine. The open designs and visual impact of the facades caught my eye. However, when I was ready to begin the architectural design, I chose a reputable local firm and worked with them for over a year. After a lot of dollars and numerous face-to-face meetings, we had a design, but it was not "our design." We chose not to move forward with the project.

Then, I remembered Scholz Design and ordered several Scholz catalogues. The catalogues contained several house design elements that we wanted in our home. After some consideration, I called and initially spoke to you. As you may remember, we exchanged more than a few e-mails, phone calls and faxes. The timely, well-informed answers and drafts that you provided were on target.

I had concerns about working on such a personalized project via fax, e-mail and Federal Express. But as the questions and drawn ideas went back and forth, I felt we achieved a meeting of the minds. The creative process kicked in and, all of a sudden, we had a team that anticipated and translated the vision to paper. This was no small feat given the complexity and size of the home envisioned.

It was exciting to see our personal vision materialize in blueprint. We are delighted with the final designs. In fact, everyone that has seen the plan says,"Wow, the conservatory really makes the over-all design unique. . .can't wait to see the house."

Again, Fred and I want to express our sincere thanks to the Scholz team and extend an early house warming invitation. We will follow-up with a formal invitation in about 14 months when the construction is complete.

I hope you will be kind enough to share this letter with the individuals that contributed to our project.

Cam,
Hi there!! We are LOVING life in our Scholz home!! It is, in all honesty, probably the nicest home in the area and one of the most beautiful in Easton!! We get compliments ALL the time. Not only that - but we enjoy living here!! It is open, bright and totally comfortable.

Rory and I would be happy to give whatever input we can to help your customer. We will be happy to share with them what we have learned. Tell your customer that, without a moments hesitation, I am going to recommend that they go with a Scholz home and modify it!! After trying twice to design our home from scratch, it went so smoothly once we started working with you.

Don't ever hesitate to contact us.

Have a great Thanksgiving!

We loved the layout of the Tuscan Villa but it didn't satisfy all of our needs in the bedroom area. So, we put a bedroom above the living room, added a laundry room above the dining room and walk-up access to the attic and we had it! We also made a jack-and-jill bath between bedroom 3 and the new bedroom. Finally, we flip flopped the living and dining rooms, enclosing the new living room with two walls of French doors and used it for our baby grand piano.

We also made an entrance to the master bath through the master closet for those early morning departures. Additionally, we made the powder room entrance across from the kitchen and made an entry to the mudroom from the garage.

Our builder made the initial contact and questioning to Scholz. I then called about seeing details on the kitchen design. I found our rep, Cam, knowledgeable, professional and timely in response.

We completed the framing of the Templeton house today. The house looks great. I wanted to thank you for all you did to make the architectural process so smooth. The Scholz plans were excellent. I have used my framer for over fifteen years and he said these plans were the best set of plans he had ever seen. The surveyor said that it was the most accurate foundation plan he has ever staked in. The plans were by far the most complete and comprehensive set of plans I have ever used. The Scholz Design staff was always helpful when I had any questions and very quick to respond. I would recommend Scholz plans and design team to any homeowner and builder. I look forward to building my next Scholz home. The homeowners are very happy. Don't hesitate to have someone call me if you need a reference.

Dear Barbara,
We are so happy with the floor plan and the way the house flows, and there is not a day that goes by that I don't see someone drive by, slow down, and give the exterior a long, wishful look! Thanks for all your help in making our dream home become reality!

"Our family worked with two different architectural/design firms, and paid for two different houses to be custom designed. Both times, the building costs were much higher than our target and we had to sacrifice too much to bring them into control. In order to gain control of expenses and still build the custom designed home of our dreams, we turned to Scholz. Our family has special needs due to one member using a wheelchair and having many medical complications. Our needs included wider hallways, adding a therapeutic indoor pool, an elevator, and other accessibility related considerations. Cam, our Scholz Home Design Expert, was extremely helpful from the moment of our first phone call to her. The rapid turn around of information, exchange of ideas, and promptness of design work turned a very difficult pre-Scholz building experience into what we know will be a wonderful and exciting post-Scholz living experience! What had been difficult for designers that we worked with before Scholz to accomplish, Scholz designers did with ease. Construction is now almost complete and within budget - without sacrifice!"

Even though we didn't meet our Design Expert face-to-face, we felt like we got to know her and she got to know us. (She didn't get frustrated with our frequent calls, questions or changes but helped us pick a plan that was right what we wanted!) The personal touch meant ALOT to us! Thank you Cam! Can't wait to send some pictures of our home when it's done.

We are very pleased with our plans. We were able to clearly read them. They were planned out to the last line. Jeff was very helpful and knowledgeable. Answered all my questions.

"Making the decision to use Scholz Design for our interior decorating needs was one of the best choices we made while building our new home. Our personal decorator, Gena Barber, helped us to make decisions throughout the building process. She had terrific ideas and was able to help us design a style that we felt comfortable with and could call home. We found that we could quickly communicate and exchange ideas by phone, email and fax. This was a great time saver since we lead busy lives and have little time to arrange meetings. We were very impressed with Gena's ability to grasp what we were looking for and find furniture and accessories that would complement our personal style. Tom and I would recommend Scholz Design to anyone looking for professional interior designer that is both creative and personal."

Hello Cam,
Thank you for encouraging me to go to the design deptartment. Jean is good to work with! Fun and really talented. I always thought I had a knack for decorating...forget it. She has taken me to places I never would have dreamed!!!! And when I resist, it turns out she was right on the mark...I'm relinquishing control...why think when Jean can figure it all out for me.

I started with Scholz eight years ago designing a plan. We ended up not using it because my husband and I couldn't agree on it. We went to an on-line stock plan but before we were to build we came back to Scholz because they had what we really wanted.

Cam made a plan work for both of us. She is the reason we are building a Scholz home. Without her expertise and professional manner, my husband and I would still be searching for a plan that would fit both our needs. She is a major asset to Scholz Design.

Scholz has helped us, and still does, beyond our expectations. We appreciated the total services of design, construction, and home furnishings that are offered.

My wife and I searched through hundreds of catalogs over several years and found nothing to our liking. We came upon a small picture of the rear steps of the Masco Showhome in Buckhead (Atlanta, Georgia). My wife saw it and said, "that's it!" I said, "that's what?" and the dream snowballed into a reality once we learned of the quality and beauty of Scholz homes.

Wonderful choice of well thought out plans. We chose a plan that features a first floor master suite and we love it. Everyone, including our neighbors, says, "You have the prettiest house on the street."

Dear Friends at Scholz Design,

Thank you so much for the basket full of goodies. It was exciting receiving our first gift in our new home. We also thank you for helping us to design our home. You all did an exquisite job. People drive down our street and actually stop to gaze at one of the most beautiful homes in Barrington Hills. The home has so much interesting detail to look at---that we can't blame them.

Thanks again.

Hello Cam,

Until we talk again, thank you for your great service and helpfulness in designing our new home. We know that you are always busy with lots of emails and calls everyday but your quick responses to our questions made us feel that we were always your number-one client.

Thank you once again for all your help.

I have found Dave to be a highly competent and reliable associate providing Ginsburg Development with an exceptional level of quality service. I have called upon Dave a number of times to make changes and implement new designs to the plans for our Kensington Woods Project. At times the requirements have been both tedious and time consuming, however, Dave has followed every direction and paid close attention every detail discussed. Dave has completed all of my requests in a timely and professional manner.

I am very satisfied with the experience of working with Scholz Design. My primary contact is Scholz Design Expert Barbara, who was extremely patient, courteous and always helpful. I would use Scholz Design again if such occasion arises in the future.

We chose Scholz because we looked at a Scholz house locally for sale and it was absolutely beautiful. Scholz was more detailed, no comparison. 

I talked with Jeff several times. I felt that I've known him for a long time.

Working With The Right People Is More Important Than Where Those Right People Are Working.

Dear Cam,

I wanted to send both you and Jas a big THANK YOU a long time ago for doing such a great job in helping Susan and I design our new home and also in working closely with us when needed during the construction process. The end result is nothing short of spectacular. Yourself, Jas, Ben, and everyone else at Scholz who worked on our project really took a personal interest in making our experience with Scholz a delight and should be very proud to work for such a professional organization.

During the whole design process, the easy-to-work together environment along with Jas’s creativity, (and a little of our own) allowed us to really create a well thought out floor plan with many unique architectural elements and the ability to really add some great details into the design as construction moved forward. The speed with which we were able to send ideas back-and-forth and to revise the plans during this stage was really amazing.

The Permit process stage was especially memorable when you Fedex’ed the 405 pages of calculations in duplicate, (810 pages total) along with a few other revisions so I could drop them off at the village to satisfy their last minute requests. The level of detail on the plans was remarkable and I think impressed even our zoning officer. During the construction process, the various people we worked with at Scholz were always pleasant and professional and very timely in answering any questions or changes that we needed.

Cam, you especially have always been a pleasure to speak to and to work with. You always made sure to follow up on all of the things that needed attention. I especially liked the various ideas you would send our way to inspire us.

I hope that you and/or Jas can make it out to see us sometime and get a first-hand look at the finished product. I would love to take you or Jas on a tour. We are just absolutely thrilled to live in this home. Please feel free to call or E-mail me if you will be in town or if you have any other inspirational ideas you would like to share with us. Thank you all again.

Sincerely,

John,
Illinois


Working with our Scholz Design Expert, Jeff, in selecting our final home plan was an enjoyable experience. Availability was never a concern and all questions and requests for information were always provided in a prompt, professional manner. Thank  you!

Cam,

We have been scouring over our floor plan sketches with delight the past few days. We have both been traveling and heavily involved in some community projects the past 2 weeks. Sharon is going over the plans again this week and will be calling you to discuss our ideas.

Having this exterior sketch is very helpful. I am absolutely ecstatic with the sketch. The architect must be clairvoyant. The sketch nailed our vision for how the home would look. We will be talking to you soon.

Regards,

Bruce,

We are loving our new home and are planning on spending as much time as possible there between moving small stuff from our other home. Feels like I'm on vacation at a beautiful resort where all the food tastes wonderful, all the snow stays clean and white forever, and everything is beautiful. We have been complimented by everyone who visits and they say how comfortable and wonderful they feel while there, always wanting to come back.

What a blessing Sam and I are sharing--and all because of your company designing such a beautiful plan, letting us add our own touches, and Don's ability to make it all happen.

I chose Scholz because I wanted a unique and elegant design. Their service throughout the process far exceeded my expectations.

If anyone is looking for a design company, Scholz in my opinion beats all others without a doubt. 

They help you in every way possible and they give very professional advise to guide you along the way, all the way to completion.

The process of designing and creating a home was easier than we ever imagined. We heard all the horror stories but the people at Scholz made the process very educational and enjoyable. We can't wait to see the finished product.

Dear Gena,

You have done a fantastic job with coordinating the decorating of our home. We love all the picks for lighting, furniture, rugs, etc... We could not imagine doing all of this without your help and expertise. Even with your help, we were kept very busy with the everyday chores of building. You have saved us much time, stress and headaches of running all around everywhere and trying to decide what to pick for our home.

As you know, we were set on all natural woodwork throughout the house. After counseling with you, the ideas about painting the trim instead of wood grain finish, we decided to go with your idea and it worked great. Our home is beautiful, warm and inviting. Just the way we like it!

All the picks are perfect. The decor of the home flows very nicely. And, as you know I have my favorite furniture picks. Especially the china hutch!

You have been there for us in every way. We were always able to reach you. We trusted your judgement and never had to worry how our house was going to turn out. We would not hesitate to use your services in the future.

Thanks again for all you have done.
