“It was a long process, addition of a second floor to an existing house. Ricky was always on time for our meetings, his technical knowledge as a General Contractor proved vital in coming up with the final design. Ricky is very easy to work with, and extremely knowledgeable. He is also creative, calm, organized, and friendly.”

“Tim Hagan took the smoldering remains of our burnt house and created something beautiful out of the ashes. He didn't flinch when he saw what little we had to work with, and, in a stress-filled year, managed to gently mold a beautiful house out of ashes and water. My assessment of Hagan Architects: totally professional, deeply caring, amazingly talented, delightfully innovative.”

“We are so happy with our experience! The architect and also the GC, Woody was so immersed, dedicated to our project- he guided us when decisions had to be made with excellent communications skills and also humor! It was exciting to see it all happen- and it was on time! We were living in the basement during the renovation and one night, it was storming, pouring rain- and this was before we had the roof completed, and he shows up in the middle of the night just to check on things to make sure water wasn't coming in! He was also very good at keeping us in-check with our budget. We are very happy with our new home!!”

“Robert M. Cain was the architect for my home, completed in 2009. Photos are elsewhere on this site. Robert M. Cain (Bob) is a brilliant designer and superlative master of construction oversight. As the project began, he listened carefully to us and perfectly and seamlessly incorporated our desires into the house. The building is both beautiful and extremely comfortable. It is a LEED Platinum Home. It has many high performance features such as solar panels and geothermal heat pumps. Passive solar concepts are inherent in the design and allow us the be comfortable much of the year without heating or air conditioning. It has many windows and feels like it is in a forest, although the location is urban. It is a calm and cheerful house. Working with Bob and his staff was a completely delightful experience; it was satisfying in every way. Mary B.”

“S. Diane Johnson Photography photographed the finished project for Anne Sciarrone Architecture, LLC. Anne's work is beautiful and she is a very strong professional. I have worked with her on other projects and each time has been a delight.”

“Loraine Cunanan did an excellent job on the planning of our unique house. She took great pains to take our ideas and crude drawings and create a beautiful result. She worked well with the builder and followed up on the work. In fact, this was an Earth Craft house in every aspect of the words. We would recommend her work to anyone wanting a unique and one of a kind house.”

“ABHP has given me great insights, tools, and ability to continually grow in design and make this such an experience of being a Home Owner! Tons of House Plans and custom builds to choose from and I strongly recommend America's Best House Plans. Thank you!”

“Daniel Martin designed a deck that spanned the back of our house. The deck included planters, seating, multiple levels, lighting and access from the front of the house. I would describe Danny's designs as understated--a cross between Frank Lloyd Wright and the mission style. The deck was designed for heavy entertaining. He was very focused on designing the deck to fit our needs. Danny even considered natural light and the positioning of the sun on the deck throughout the day as well as designing for privacy. Danny was always open to our feedback and we made several adjustments throughout the project. I would definitely recommend Danny and would definitely hire him again He is a true professional and cared deeply about meeting our needs.”

“Robert Ross consistently performs above and beyond for clients in and around the Grant Park area. Our team has had the pleasure of working with him on several projects and looks forward to additional ones in the future. Any projects we are involved in that require beautiful architecture are automatically forwarded to Robert with the utmost confidence.”

“We used Caldwell-Cline to design our retirement dream house. It was a wonderful experience working with the staff. They were always very accommodating to our schedule. Roger took all the photo’s I had for each room and designed exactly what we wanted. He also came to our home on several occasions to help us design certain area’s i.e., over our fireplace in the great room and designing the outdoor fireplace. We couldn’t be happier with them. Every meeting was fun and feel there are friends.”
