Shelly S. Washington Square Condo Homeowner

From start to finish, working with Kevin and Omar was a pleasure. They are consummate professionals — talented, experienced, and highly attentive. What truly stood out was their ability to listen and fully understand my vision, capturing every detail with precision. The entire process was seamless, with no surprises along the way. The timeline and budget aligned perfectly with the expectations they had set, making the renovation remarkably stress-free for me. Kevin and Omar’s honesty, meticulous attention to detail, and unwavering dedication to quality were evident at every step. Now, my condo feels like a brand-new home — a transformation that exceeded all my expectations. K YODER didn’t just renovate my space; they elevated it. I couldn’t be happier with the result, and I wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone looking for exceptional architectural design and expertise.

Bill S. Condo Homeowner

Kyoder design exceeded our expectations for upgrading a 40 year old condo. Our assignment for the team was to upgrade the kitchen and baths as well as provide extra closet and storage spaces. They helped with much more – selecting lighting fixtures, placement of furniture, selection of flooring and window treatments, and changing hardware throughout the unit. They always presented options for our decisions. Kevin is a good listener, turning what he hears from us into attractive options. Their design turned a tired 40-year-old layout into a sleek, sophisticated setting that reflected our eclectic tastes of modern and antique furniture and artwork. We are so pleased with the result.

Purchasing a home you plan to completely renovate can be an overwhelming process.

Kevin worked with us on a major renovation of two bathrooms. He came up with a great design that maximized use of limited space and responded to our needs. He advised us on the use of beautiful, environmentally conscious materials and helped us realize our dream of tranquil, light-filled spaces. We are delighted with the result and feel happy every day with our new bathrooms!

Brian D. Lake House Homeowner

Most potential buyers of this property thought there was no hope, and that it would need to be a complete tear-down and re-build. After some initial consulting with Kevin Yoder, he persuaded me that this project was possible, and the property could be re-invented into a new amazing space. From day one, he treated this job as if it were his own home, and I felt absolutely confident letting him take the reins . . . The end result is an amazing space that works in harmony with the surrounding environment, as well as a space inside that is truly satisfying and invigorating to live in.
