"Working with Robin was a pleasure. She assesses my needs and designed a kitchen space that was more than I had hoped for. Robin was professional, personable and reasonably priced. I would gladly enlist her services again if needed."

Robin has done several projects for us. She is adept at listening to our needs/wants and creating a plan(s) that meets those requirements. She most recently helped us update our old house with bathroom revisions, kitchen remodeling, and a mudroom addition. Her plans for our 3rd floor remodel are starting soon. We couldn’t be happier with the final results! Highly recommended by these happy homeowners!

"I feel like I'm in a high-end hotel, although the room service isn't so great! With Robin’s help we remodeled creating a first floor master bedroom, master bath, his and hers closets and a powder room all within the existing footprint of our house! The only thing left is the Roman shades for the bathroom windows above the interior shutters. We are in absolute heaven with our remodel."

"Robin helped us transform our home with a master suite addition along with many structural changes to our front façade. She listened to what we wanted, accommodated our requests and was quick to interpret our vision and finalize our design. She was extremely responsive and very easy to work with."
|
"We own a historic home in Pittsford and wanted to add a mudroom addition on the front of our house. Robin was on board with us from the beginning; talking to the code officials, attending review meetings and designing to meet all the needs. She helped us gain a family space for entry (with storage), laundry (with window seat), powder room and an expanded master bath above the new addition without compromising anything; we gained both function and beauty. We are delighted that Robin was referred to us, it couldn’t have been easier to work with her and we’re especially appreciative of Robin’s sensitivity to older homes and active families."

"We truly feel blessed to have worked with Robin and highly recommend her services. We contacted Robin with issues regarding our roof and after putting three completely new roofs on our home in just thirty years, we needed professional help. She listened to us, responded promptly and knew what experts to call in for assistance. She was always available to answer our questions and offer direction. Robin recognized our frustration and responded with great care, compassion and professionalism."
|
"Robin was the consummate professional. She had wonderful ideas that were tailored to our wants and respected what we had to offer. All steps in the process were done on time and extremely acceptable to all parties. Her level of service was excellent, and we will continue to use her in the next steps of our project. She is very easy to work with and adds so many good extras to our ideas. She is a treasure."

"We had a delightful, professional, and successful business relationship with Robin. She was very well informed, resourceful, had great and very innovative suggestions. She was extremely competitive in her fees and we felt that we honestly got our money's worth and then some. I would HIGHLY recommend Robin to anyone. She helped us immensely through the whole process of building our cottage on Canandaigua Lake. Again, an excellent experience and I would go back to her and no one else for any future architectural needs."
|
"Robin worked diligently on my proposal to redo the front facade of my dental building in Avon as part of the Main Street Grant. Her attention to detail, timeliness, and professionalism all added in the village awarding some of the grant money towards my project. She is still working with the general contractor and following the progress of his work. I would highly recommend Robin for other projects."

"Robin Hargrave is a creative and a good listener, she was quick to understand what I needed in our quirky new old house. Staying within the original 20x20 footprint and building around the existing fireplace built by the previous owner left us with some odd corners and spaces. Robin was open and responsive to my ideas. She also gently and clearly stated her own thoughts. I could depend on her for honest answers and for following through on her commitments. And, she was kindly patient with our prolonged construction process. I called her as needed and her assistance was helpful and generous."
|
"Robin was knowledgeable and took us through many iterations on room layouts with considered our ideas and lifestyle; without her drawings the project could not have been completed satisfactorily. Robin took many measurements determining load bearing walls in our 110-year-old house. This allowed us to replace a load
bearing wall and insert the correct size beam based on her calculations. This created a space that became the focal point of our remodel. Robin added such value to our project. We thought we might need to add on to meet our needs, yet she helped us realize our true goal: a small home meeting all our needs." |

"We have designed and built quite a few homes in the Mendon area over the years and Robin is the third architect we have worked with. She was very professional, personable and we worked well together. When we moved into this house it was the first time I thought, "I may never want to move again.” When we found land for a cottage, we called on her again. She designed our retreat and we get nothing but compliments on our home. We will return to Robin for any work we have in the future."
|
"Robin came highly recommended to us for our home make over. Her intricate plans transformed our plain mid-century ranch into a beautiful Craftsman style gem. Robin's knowledge, creativity, integrity, and cooperation were certainly "one of a kind". She truly captured the character and style we were looking for! She knows houses. We're looking forward to her helping us renovate our Adirondack Camp next."

"Robin was a pleasure to work with. The team was very dedicated to the creation of a state-of-the-art salon and spa and we worked very well together throughout the design of the project. We couldn't have done it without this spirit of cooperation lead by Robin's example!"

"I have been working with Robin for ten years. I am very pleased with how she accommodates the clients’ needs; listening and understanding their concerns. Whenever I have a question about her drawings, she is accessible and is more than willing to listen and work out the details together."
|
"The UPS man commented today on how beautiful things came together at our new home. I told him our architect was worth her weight in gold. This place would never have come out this great, if it wasn't for her!" Can you tell we are still smiling!"

"Robin listened to our needs and guided us in the design of an addition to our home. Although we did not proceed with construction, she captured the essence of our dreams on paper in a very realistic way."
