Testimonial
Real feedback from homeowners across Bergen County, Northern New Jersey, and the New York metro area who partnered with NHA Architects for residential architecture and zoning expertise.
We had an outstanding experience working with Noah. His extensive knowledge of building codes and regulations gave us confidence throughout the entire process, ensuring everything was handled efficiently and to the highest standards.
We had the pleasure of working with Noah for our recent custom build house project, and me and my wife were beyond impressed! From the initial consultation to the final walkthrough, Noah demonstrated a perfect balance of creativity, professionalism, and attention to detail. Noah really listened to our vision and brought it to life in ways We hadn’t even imagined.
We worked with Noah during the pandemic to design an addition to our modest cape cod home from the 1930’s. While at the time, construction costs were exorbitant, Noah stuck with us and reworked our original grand design to be more approachable.
