so we could go to our contractor and say, ‘Tat’s what I want, but this is the way I want it to look,’ ” Eli explained. Before Ann-Terese’s binder of inspiration could come
to fruition, though, the Hymans had to find a contractor. Early in their search, they discovered Richard Johnson. “I was building another house on Sullivan’s, and Ann-
Terese and Eli liked the way it looked,” said Johnson. “Eli stopped by one day, introduced himself, said they really liked the house and wanted to know if I’d be interested in looking at the house they were getting ready to build.” After answering with an emphatic yes, Johnson put in a bid for the project and arranged to meet with Ann-Terese. It was then, before he’d even been hired, that he came face to face with the decade of ideas housed in her binder. “It took us about two hours, but we went through ev-
ery page in that book and talked about all of the different things they wanted,” Johnson laughed. It didn’t take long for Ann-Terese and Eli to realize
that Johnson was the perfect fit for the job. “Richie is unbelievable,” gushed Ann-Terese. “I’ve never met somebody so honest – he has so much integrity.
“For two years prior to starting this construction, Eli and I sat down with our binder and made a wish list of things we really wanted.”
If something cost more, he told me. If it cost less, he told me. If he returned a box of nails, he credited my account. … including the tax.” It’s this thoroughness that Johnson considers a trade-
mark, something he takes considerable pride in being able to offer homeowners. “I do a really detailed bid and try to include any costs they may incur during the job, and outline all of that in black and white for them to review ahead of time,” said Johnson. “It helps to ease their minds that nothing’s being left out.”
Te collaboration between Johnson, the Hymans and
architect Eddie Fava couldn’t have played out better. “For two years prior to starting this construction, Eli and I sat down with our binder and made a wish list of things we really wanted,” said Ann-Terese. “While we didn’t get some things because they weren’t feasible, we were either able to get close to or exactly what we wanted from that list.”
