Hopkins Clegg Architects Reviews

Kristin did a fantastic job working on a renovation in our Jersey City home. She is communicative and great to work with, and our home is now much more beautiful and functional thanks to her vision and attention to detail.

Kristin's attention to detail, knowledge of code, and precise blueprints were instrumental in the renovation of our basement, which included adding a full bathroom. Highly recommend them!

Kristin helped us with the addition of a bathroom to our house. She was great and easy to work with - terrific design ideas and advice on finishes, etc. and she always responded in a timely manner to any questions along the way.

HCA were incredible to work with. They took time and care in addressing all our concerns. Our design was thoughtful and well laid out. HCA assisted with contractor selection as well as budget friendly options. We would love to work with HCA again!

Had a wonderful experience working with Kristin Hopkins Clegg and her firm. Kristin is extremely competent, bright and responsive. Love how she redesigned the space in our home. Highly recommended.

Hopkins Clegg Architects Architecture and Design, Kristin did a fantastic job renovating our Physical Therapy office I highly recommend her.

I engaged Kristin to create plans for exterior restorations and a new roof deck at my historic brownstone in Jersey City's Hamilton Park district. Kristin has detailed knowledge of the requirements by the city's Historic Preservation Commission that proved very helpful in navigating what would be acceptable to the city and also meet my requirements. Kristin delivered the plans accurately and on time at a very reasonable price. I'd absolutely recommend Kristin for any of your architecture/design needs, particularly if you have a historic property.

Hopkins Clegg Architects is my go to for any architectural/structural questions/concerns I have. I have worked with Kristin professionally and personnally and could not recommend someone more wholeheartedly. She is awesome, has a great understanding of building code and is super creative when it comes to working in the city. I highly recommend her!

Worked with Kristin on a deck replacement project and she was amazing to work with. Quick responses, on-time delivery, and she navigated the Historic permits for us which was a bonus. I'd recommend her highly.

I have been working with Kristin of Hopkins Clegg Architects for several years on investment properties in the Hudson and Essex County area and I have nothing but positive things to say. Kristin displayed a high level of expertise throughout the full gut renovation process of our first project together and has continued to deliver on every project. Kristin is great at taking the time to understand my vision and dissecting the unique challenges of each property to come up with creative and practical solutions that always exceeded my expectations. In addition to her architectural skills, Kristin is always incredibly organized, efficient and responsive (which is not always the case in the construction industry!). This makes each project run smoothly and with minimal stress. She has a great eye for detail and finishes as well. I would highly recommend Kristin to anyone in need of architectural services, whether it be a bathroom renovation, kitchen renovation, full gut rehab or ground up construction. Kristin is a true professional, a pleasure to work with and I look forward to working together for many more years to come.

We recently renovated an old row house in downtown Jersey City. All renovations are challenging, but this was a gut renovation during a global pandemic. If we didn’t have Kristin’s calming presence, creative design solutions and deep understanding of historical architecture, modern design and the nuances of city government we never would have survived it. I can’t recommend Hopkins Clegg Architects enough. If we do any sort of renovations going forward, we’re working with Kristin and Hopkins Clegg….hopefully not during a pandemic next time.

It was a pleasure working with Kristin from Hopkins Clegg Arichitects. My parents needed an architect to assist in drafting the front porch as they needed to get the entire platform replaced. She walked us through the entire process down to the finalization.There were a couple of hiccups that we ran into with our contractor and city hall in which we had to make revisions to the drawings (due to no fault of her own). She worked on it right away and provided us with new drawings in a short period of time. We really appreciate her patience and quality work that she has provided.

Excellent communication, high quality and timely delivery, great value. One of the best project partnerships we had.

Hopkins Clegg Architects are professional, thoughtful and very well-informed. My husband and I contracted their services in August of 2017 to renovated our bare-bones basement into a 1-bedroom apartment. They walked us through the whole construction process from plans to final inspections. During the drafting process, Kristin listened to our "wants/needs" for the space and designed 3 different option and went through all the pros and cons of each. Once we decided, they helped us with the bidding process, again explaining the pros and cons of each bid. They highlighted important information and helped us pick the best contractor for the job. During construction, they even visited the permitting office with us to make sure we got everything we needed. We highly recommend HCA. We are very pleased with their work.
