What Our Clients Say
I highly recommend this company. I had bought a house and needed to get a Certificate of Occupancy. I was unsure of what steps I needed to take. Arnold Montag PM Designs company was recommended by one of his previous clients. I was assured that all the issues with getting permits would be taken care of. Mr Montage and his company followed through from the beginning to the end. This company is reliable, responsible, and credible. I was able to attain my Certificate of Occupancy without any issues. I recommend 100%
We cannot say enough good things about the AM/PM staff! We found Arnie about 2 years before we were convinced we actually wanted to renovate our Queens 2-story, one family home. During that period we consulted with Arnie roughly three to four times on the things we’d need to get done (including an extensive asbestos abatement) without charging us a dime. When we were prepared to go into contract, Arnie and his team helped us design an absolutely beautiful project that included upgrades to every facet of our home. Shortly thereafter COVID hit and our project was significantly delayed. We were, however, lucky that Arnie and his amazing staff availed themselves during business and non-business hours to advise us on a variety of issues from navigating the DOBNOW webpages to reasonable locations for quartz countertops. No project is without obstacles and between energy efficient windows and the skyrocketing price of wood, we DEFINITELY had our fair share. We can most assuredly attest that Arnie, Celia and their professional and knowledgeable team made the navigation of those pitfalls A LOT easier. We can say in no uncertain terms that we highly recommend the use of AM/PM services for your next construction project.
I purchased a home and AM/PM design was the architect for a gut renovation project of a two family into a single family home in Queens. The design and floor plan of this house was one of the best layouts we've seen and a big reason we went through with the home purchase. The original owner however never closed out the work permits with the GC that he used, so Arnold and his team helped me navigate a very cumbersome NYC DOB electric, gas and construction approval process so I could obtain the final CO. Arnold and his team were communicative and guided us along the way. Appreciate their help closing it out and would recommend them!
