Gaines Group Architects 141 West Bruce Street, Harrisonburg, VA 22801

"We met with Charles Hendricks at the Gaines Group when we were considering moving to Harrisonburg and building a new home. He listened to our wants and needs in a new home, and delivered a design that works exceptionally well and incorporates the "aging in place" features we desired on a unique hillside lot. We remain quite pleased with the finished product and expect our Charles Hendricks/Gaines Group designed home will meet our needs well into our retirement years."

"I have known the great folks at The Gaines Group for over 15 years. I met most of their entire team in my former career as a Sherwin Williams paint representative. I have personally walked through many of their project and discussed in great detail so many “how’s” and “why’s” and learn something new every time I talked with anyone in their company! They are all so smart in all aspects of their design process. If you your are interested in interviewing a design architect for either commercial or residential new construction, I would highly recommend this fine company!"

"This is a bit of a delayed review... just figuring out how to do... Mr. Hendricks was exceptionally helpful for our family in the purchase and renovation of a small ranch house in Harrisonburg city. We had these grand visions of what would have been a very unwise expansion and after speaking with Charles it became clear that we needed to look for other options. Charles met with me three times in all, including a walk through of the site, and helped me to come up with what has turned out to be the perfect renovation to the house. My only "complaint" is that he would not accept any payment."

"The Gaines Group Architects is a group of individuals who take pride in their work, and have a true and honest dedication to helping the community around them, helping others learn about building science, and offering free consultations and energy audits. Great place to work at, learn from, and do business with!"

"Charles and associates were wonderful to work with. They were quick to respond to questions and draw updates. They listened to what we wanted in our house and gave us good contractors to work with for lighting and kitchen design. Charles put us in touch with other clients when he felt we needed an outside opinion. The result is a dream house. We can't say enough good about Gaines Group Architects."
