I used FWH for a survey to obtain an elevation certificate. They provided a thorough and professional job - and the staff couldn't be nicer! I would recommend this company to anyone - they provide excellent service.

We worked with Ian Martin on a redesign of one of our buildings. Ian's response time in our communications was very quick, and he managed to capture our vision in his design perfectly. We were very pleased with FWH and would use them again on future architectural projects!

Report
Hiring FWH Associates, Christopher Rosati and his staff was one of the best decisions we made as a family to plan our backyard pool and cook center cabana project. From start to finish they have been very professional, responsive and right on budget with every phase of our project. Our engineer and FWH partner Brian Murphy walked us through a variance process and represented us at the board meeting that passed with flying colors.
Their in house architects and project designer Ian Martin and Vincent Hatt did an outstanding job with taking our ideas as they consulted us at our home and putting a custom design to paper with very detailed plans. My wife Annie and I can not thank Team FWH enough for making this process a pleasant experience. Lastly, their receptionist Sandra was very polite and an asset to the firm as their first line of communication. JOB WELL DONE! Carlo & Annie Calabrese, Shelter Cove - Toms River NJ

I have worked with Lee Webb and his team for over 35 years on an array of complex projects that always ended successfully. Lee, Brian, Jessica, Dan and the entire staff have always been so professional and responsive, which has always made these most difficult tasks (i.e., obtaining approvals from county, state and municipal governments) much easier. FWH has helped me immeasurably through the years and I cannot thank them enough for always going the extra mile.
