Client Testimonials

Diane did a fantastic job on our kitchen. The kitchen on our purchased house plans didn’t suit our family’s needs. Diane really listened to our concerns and put time and thought into creating a better plan. But more than just the kitchen, the whole team built us a house that we are tremendously proud of. When I am working in the front yard, complete strangers stop to tell me how much they love our house. So far the only thing I have had to change was a light bulb! I am consistently impressed with the quality of the subcontractors. The house turned out beautifully. I am really proud of the results. The energy efficiency standards that were applied make this house affordable to live in too. Everyone in my neighborhood marveled at how quickly and smoothly this construction project went.

We had an excellent experience working with Diane Oxley. This included the initial design process where Diane spent time listening to what we wanted and then did her best to incorporate all our suggestions into the plans. Her project team was first rate, and all work was completed to specifications and on time. Diane inspected the progress of the project almost daily and she was always available when we had questions. Best of all, Diane was enthusiastic about our project and a pleasure to work with. We would not hesitate to have her plan and execute our next remodeling project.

My wife and I bought a 20-year-old house. We loved the layout except for the kitchen and we needed to add a garage. We contacted Diane Oxley. She came to our house and asked us about our needs, wants and budget. She actually listened to what we, the client, wanted. We had interviewed a few other people who tried to push their ideas for the project.

Diane put together several versions of a new updated kitchen and plans for the new garage. When we decided on the version that best suited our needs and desires, Diane completed the work in a timely fashion and was pleasant to work with. Her design for the garage melded with the existing house and looked as if it had always been a part of the house. We got everything we wanted. More countertop, more light, more open contemporary design and all at a reasonable price.

It was very pleasant to work Diane and we have recommended her to friends.

I have known Diane Oxley since 1999, when she drew the architectural plans for an addition to my house in Chapel Hill, NC. I am very pleased with the results, and people tell me that it blends so well with the older structure that it looks as if it had always been there. I would say this means that Diane not only has the design skills, but also an eye for symmetry and appropriateness. I would recommend her to anyone in search of such skills.
