Henry’s work is clearly driven by his passion for highly refined craftsmanship. If you value someone who comes to the table with his design sensibility, competence, and attention to details, and at the same time willing to put his ego aside in order to achieve a greater overall vision, Henry is your guy. In short, he will make your projects better. Another important quality is his superb shop drawings. You can tell he is on the same page just by looking at his shop drawings, before it is built. This is a rare quality which makes our collaboration both efficient and enjoyable. We highly recommend DeFauw Design without reservation.

Henry and his crew rescued a very complicated railing job that had been mismanaged by another company. Henry came in and assessed the situation, giving us an accurate estimate of the time required and cost, and he fit us in to his busy schedule right away. He and his crew then figured out all where all the parts went and what was missing, and they worked closely with our contractor to handle certain areas that were tricky, either due to coding issues or physics. They were all very professional, knowledgable, and pleasant to work with. I'd hire them again in an instant, and recommend them highly.
