"“Colin loves what he does! While listening to you and nature, he creates a plan that not only works on many levels, but draws you into a larger space.”
“Colin guides you through design details, project construction and the important finishing touches, while giving you a greater appreciation for the environment.”
“Colin’s designs unfold over many years, allowing you to learn the language of nature while enjoying those pleasurable spaces.”
Susan & Bill Milner, Asheboro, NC

““We have worked with Colin on several projects over the past year.  He is honest, knowledgeable, responsible in keeping to our agreed-upon timetable, and very intelligent.  One of the lovely pleasures in working with Colin is that he is a problem-solver; and, as the best are, he is happy to brainstorm with others, with us!  His work is elegant and sturdy, and we are very pleased to have the opportunity to recommend Colin highly.  This recommendation also comes in the context of many contractors who disappoint, disappear, distress.
Please feel free to contact us, if that will help you in your decision.”

““My experience working with Colin Hoogerwerf has been very positive. He is responsive, prompt and careful, with appropriate attention to detail. He has done exactly what I wanted and at the same time is conservative and sensitive to costs. I have worked with many contractors over the years, few of whom I would recommend. Colin I would recommend without reservation. He is a good man and I am confident anyone would be pleased with the quality of his work.”

“Colin and my family have done several projects together.  Believe me when I say that we wouldn't be working with him on a consistent basis if we didn't have a terrific relationship with him.  Admittedly, my wife and I have strong opinions and we find Colin to be very receptive to our ideas.  Yet inevitably we find ourselves incorporating many of his concepts.  He has a way of distinguishing what we are looking for and transforming it into reality.  From a more practical standpoint, we have found Colin to be very responsive, timely, and conscientious with regard to our time horizon and budget.  He is the consummate professional when completing a project, and is more than willing to manage the administrative tasks.  For example, on our last project he formulated the permitting plan and presentation for the Architectural Review Board, and we were approved!  Needless to say that is a very stressful process, and Colin handled it with aplomb.  Colin truly is passionate about his work and it is reflected in the relationships he has built with his clients, and in the work he produces.

“We were introduced to Colin over the past year. He has been an incredible resource in assisting us with the renovation of our home in Bridgehampton. Colin helped us expedite the permit process making it quite easy and timely to get approved without having the usual back and forth. Additionally, Colin created a new landscape plan for our entire home that accentuated some of the more exotic planting and trees that were on the property. Colin worked with the landscaper and contractor in coordinating all aspects of the job. Most importantly, he was always available for a meeting and never missed a deadline. Overall, we rate Colin’s creativity and professionalism very highly and continue to use his services.”
Marc & Debbie Paley, Bridgehampton

“It is with without reservation that I would recommend Colin to work with any potential client. Presently I am in my 12th house in the last 20 years and so I have had my fill of good and bad contractors.  Having said that, Colin ranks number one in my list of great contractors.  Not only is he creative, patient, knowledgeable, and thoroughly professional; but he is also and most importantly, honest and reliable.  If you want any further information please don't hesitate to contact me”

“We engaged Colin Hoogerwerf this past winter to remodel our kitchen and guest bathroom. He was extremely easy to work with in developing our final designs. He was very competent in sourcing materials. The construction was on schedule and the work clean and high-quality.  Colin was easy to reach and promptly responsive to all inquiries. Our new kitchen and bathroom are gorgeous and we would recommend him highly and unequivocally.”
Samuel Eber, Sag Harbor

“We have now used Colin/Hooger Design & Build for three projects of varying scopes and have been thoroughly satisfied each time. Most recently we needed a significant roof replacement turned around in a single day and Colin and his team came through and completed the job. He is fair and easy to communicate with, and we would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone looking for quality work.”
