Testimonials

“My wife and I have used Delly for both residential and commercial projects. She has a wonderful design sense and was great at helping us develop and refine our visions. She then provided options for each design element and helped us create a palette that really worked together and of course looks great when constructed. She always responds quickly to any questions we have and when any issues arise during construction, she provided us with multiple options to resolve them. Whether it be our media room, bathroom renovation, or office waiting room makeover, she is equally comfortable with any job type, and I have used her expertise on multiple occasions. She is a true professional and always helps us understand why one option makes better functional or design sense than the other. She never forces her visions on us but rather helps us understand which options work well together and guides us through the selection process in a logical and structured way. Delly is respectful and relaxed to work with. We highly recommend her.”

C.Y. Rumson Residence

“I love working with Delly. I have relied on her for help with interior design for our office and home. She is very talented working in both environments. It takes a long time for me to make decisions, yet Delly has always been very patient and reassuring of what will and won’t work—and she is always right. I highly recommend Delly!”

E.R. Butternut Residence

“When we found ourselves indecisive while choosing colors to repaint our older Tudor Home, Delly came to the rescue. She helped us realize our visions and took care of everything! She ordered samples, walked us through a number of approaches and made it easy for us to decide with confidence. Delly promptly responded to every email we sent her, and there were many! She is accommodating, easy to work with, experienced in her field, and simply a pleasure to work with from beginning to end!”

J.C. Sunset Residence

“Our project was to create an outdoor living space and renovate our bathrooms. We interviewed a few architects and went with Delly because she was responsive, thorough, and creative. The others didn’t even compare. She is easy to work with, pleasant, reasonable, and helpful. Delly helped us bid out our project, review proposals, and answered the many questions we had along the way. We have future projects in mind and will definitely work with Delly again.”

A.T. Godwin Residence

“We had a very small house and we were in urgent need of an addition and a major upgrade. We had contacted Delly Yaker after receiving two other consultations from other architects. Our budget was limited and we wanted to maximize the space we could build on without getting into the headaches of a variance permit. Delly was SPOT ON! She just got it. She came to our house and after taking lots of measurements, she produced (after only a few days) an incredible design which we just loved. Furthermore, Delly was sensitive enough to never push us into designs and concepts that we were not comfortable with, but at the same time knew how to insist on the crucial issues (we realize how correct she was now—like changing our ugly yellow siding to an elegant dark grey). We are almost done with this major project and we can’t thank her enough for her incredible input and professionalism. We are thrilled with the results! Delly is a super patient person and working with is a joy.”
