Patrick & Astrid were outstanding in every aspect of the Services they provided to us in relation to our single story rear extension. From the first site visit it was immediately obvious how willing and able they both were in taking on board the particular style that we wanted to achieve, and then demonstrate how this could all be incorporated into a final and workable design.
Patricks experience in the issues that always arise with these projects meant that he was quickly able to overcome any challenges, meaning the final design we were presented with easily exceeded our expectations.

He guided us through all the processes from design to completion.

Pat has also offered guidance with many parts of the process. Fingerprintstudios have offered an extremely professional yet very personal experience for us with our renovation and we continue
