I have had the pleasure of working with Joe and his team over the course of five projects ranging from the renovation of a small cottage, rehabbing two investment properties, completing a historic restoration and expanding our primary residence. Every project included surprise discoveries where Joe was incredibly resourceful and creative in addressing these challenges to our complete satisfaction. I highly recommend J. Mayer Architects.

We enlisted Joe's help to design and manage a major renovation of our home in Annapolis. He was great to work with: open to new ideas, creative, work finished promptly and very professional. I would recommend J. Mayer Architects to anyone architectural services -- and I have done so to numerous friends.

His "sketches" were drawn in poor fashion and without regard for the ability to actually engineer the design. Multiple questions regarding his "sketches" resulted
