Some client comments...

"... after purchasing a property in rural France, and speaking English only, I knew I was up against an almost impossible task on renovating a shell of a barn into an atelier/domicile. The Village House came to my rescue. Both proprietors speak French and English AND were well acquainted with all the contractors and artisans of the area. Not only did they draw up concise plans but they also saw through the bids, schedules, necessary papers/permits and perfect execution of said designs. In their hands, whether I was abroad or in resident, I knew all was going well and to schedule...and within budget! Their aesthetics are such that I didn't hesitate to let them make decisions if any plan changes occurred. My project is nearly finished. I am overwhelmingly pleased with the design and quality of execution!" artisan-anglais.com

"... thank you both so very much for everything. Your skill and expertise, your foresight, your friendship and guidance and your kind help generally. I feel quite sad to hear you say the project is almost at a close. It has been such an interesting journey, accompanied by such good companions. I don't want to let you go.....and I'm not going to if I can help it!"

"...cheers John , good job someone's keeping track of what's going on !"

"... we relocated to a small home in Les Landes, it was habitable in its initial state without taking into account the decorations and layout, but lacked a bedroom for our planned 2nd child and a more ample kitchen and generally more space. We called upon Jean-Maurice and John to work us out new plans. They offered us two, we chose one of them and a lot of works were then planned. They also made sure that the budget (which was very tight) was respected. The result of these works is tremendous, we are wholly satisfied of what they offered us, they showed professionalism and are always very available to answer all our questions. They took into account our wishes and needs, our tastes and our budget and have produced a result that fits us perfectly down to the last details of finishes and decorations. We want to thank them very warmly and would deeply recommend them for any projects." artisan-anglais.com
