An Interview with Cathryn Withrow on her Recent Condo Remodel
/How did you choose Tony McClung to be the architectural designer for your remodel?
Tony’s wife, Jeanne McClung, was my college roommate. I have always loved Tony’s designs and longed to have him design my home as well. When the time finally came where I needed a renovation of my condo, I jumped at the chance to have Tony design the space. The outcome was more than I could have imagined. I got my dream! It is just so beautiful and both me and Tony are so happy with the outcome.
I have always wanted a Tony McClung house because I love what he does. When I had the opportunity to renovate my entire condo, I thought it would just be paint and carpet, but as we got in, we realized there was a lot more to it – it became a floor to ceiling remodel! He was able to get in and solve these situations that were new for both of us. But he took 1 step at a time and solved everything.
Tell us more about your experience working with Tony McClung.
Tony did EVERYTHING for me! He was my contractor and brought along all of these incredible sub-contractors that have worked for him for years. They are all just top of the line, skilled experts so you don’t have to worry one bit. The trust factor of having these people in your home is a huge relief - Tony is 100% trustworthy and so are the people working with him.
Luxury Homes Designed and Built by Tony McClung has been in business for 40 years, and that is a testament to how skilled he is. Not only his skill and his knowledge of the business, but also his personality. Tony gets along with everyone so well, is very easy to work with and just a fine person. He took all the stress, concerns away from me and so it made for a very successful project. It was just amazing all he did for our family! It was just such a great and wonderful experience to work with him. My condo is so beautiful, and I am just so happy.
Where is your condo located?
We live in Highland Park, TX, a part of Dallas, TX. I just want to spread the word on how great he is. He solved so many quirky problems that my home presented and did a complete remodel from floor to ceiling. I am so pleased with him and my home.
How long did your remodel take?
It took a year and 3 months. If something were to go wrong, it did…but Tony took care of everything – permits, contractors, etc. Tony knew how to handle everything and where to go. He was so great to working with so many various people. Quite a professional, he handled everything! And most important, he took all the stress off of me.
Did any other teams work with Tony to complete your remodel?
We had an interior designer that also worked alongside Tony in the remodel. Tony has such great taste that he was even able to give some guidelines that helped the interior designer! Tony was in the middle of the remodel from top to bottom. If a team was working, he was there and was fully involved. He doesn’t miss a thing!
If you were to remodel again, would you use Tony McClung?
I feel so fortunate to have had Tony McClung design the remodel of my condo. If I were to go through another project, I would absolutely have to use Tony – I just don’t know how I could do it without him!
