Brice and Missy Shelton asked me to design the guest house for thier Frederickburg Vaction by Owner.
Lisa and I went out and spent the weekend in Frederickburg, studied the existing house and than studied some of the surrounding historic homes, and modern reinventions.
The concept for the design was to create a project that had a modern living arrangement, yet looked like a structure that had been there for 100 years and had been added onto over time.
I interviewed about 10 local builder to assist the Shelton's in choosing a great contractor.
"We have used Elliot's services in two projects now. Our first was a remodel in the Austin area which allowed us a master suite on the first level of our home.
The second project was a new build in Fredericksburg of a two unit guest home with attached garage. On both projects, he was receptive to our needs and offered suggestions of different ways to achieve our goals.
The permitting process was greatly eased with his detailed design work.
And our final build products have received many compliments. We would use his services again and have recommended him to others."
