“Scott designed and drafted plans for a master bedroom extension for us. The plans were submitted and approved by the city with no revisions. That was awesome & a relief! He listened to our desires, took time to answer our questions & responded to all our concerns. He is very knowledgeable about codes & rules. He was efficient & his fees were reasonable. It was a pleasant experience working with him. We are looking forward to having our new addition completed. We would highly recommend California At Home to anyone. Thank you Scott, for the great service! CB”

“Impluvium listened to my spiritual desires to create a contemporary space that made guests feel instantly welcome while providing function for everyday life. I described a desire that my home subliminally feel like a space where East meets West. Many visitors comment on how "happy", comfortable, and Zen like my home is. Mission accomplished thanks to Tim Haley! The project involved an extensive remodel of my 3 bedroom/2 bath townhouse inclusive of footprint expansions (addition of ~75 sq. ft.), relocation of all plumbing and electrical, removal of demising wall, new windows, doors and skylights, and creative solutions designed to maximize space. In particular, Impluvium not only designed an aesthetically beautiful ceiling in the great room, but it also provides layers of light for multiple uses at all times of the day and night, functionally it is a chase which delivers the in-home sound system and HVAC system, and it masks the new structural beam required when the demising wall was removed. The accuracy and completeness of Impluvium's design and architectural drawings were instrumental in expediting HOA approvals and permits.”

“Jeff Potts at SDG designed us an incredible, award winning guest house! What I particularly like about Jeff is his open and approachable style. We've worked with many architects over the years and many simply don't want to listen to the client. Jeff listens and then delivers a design beyond your expectations. I would highly recommend working with them.”

“We recommend John without reservation. He was the architect for our remodel several years ago. Many remodels feel very tacked-on. Every one of his remodeling projects felt very organic--they felt like the house was meant to be that way. He not only achieved that with ours but also solved some tough drainage problems on our lot. Years after the project was completed, we still marvel at how well the house works and how well it has handled our changing needs. He is also very professional. He set our expectations regarding cost and timing and met those expectations. Finally he provided great references to a contractor and a designer. We were so impressed, we just hired him again to work on our vacation house.”

“Masha recently worked on bedroom/bathroom remodel of our home. This was 3rd peoject she helped us on and we are thrilled with the results. Our house is very unusual in the way that most walls are curved and our bedroom and bathroom area had many dividing half walls breaking the space up. We wanted to open it up and create an open room, but still have visual divisions for the spaces with different purposes. Masha understood what we were after and offered us multiple solutions. She worked through our comments until we were happy with the layout. Working with her was pleasant and fun experience and I can’t wait for us to work on other areas of our house together!”

“Drew is a great architect and pleasant to work with. He is very detailed oriented, organized and helpful. We have been working with him on an extensive covered porch structure. We have only good things to say about Drew and look forward to working with him on future projects.”

“Eric Shepard was wonderful to work with when we decided to remodel our home. He listened to our ideas and items we wanted to have in our remodel. He was very detailed and his plans were very solid. We had no issues pulling permits or with the contractor being able to decipher Eric's plans. Our project turned out exactly how we envisioned it!”

“Dave Ruffin was hired as a designer and architect to redesign our one of a kind unique house and add another 1000 sq f to the building. The project was challenging because of the location of the house on a slop. Previously I already fired two other architect companies, as they could not get what I needed. They either did not listen or did not understand my needs/vision. Then I found Dave. We spent few meeting where he allowed me to talk anything I wanted. He was making notes only. He told me that he'll need few days after our meetings to come up with a design. On our next meeting the basic design was done. There was nothing for me to change or modify. It was simply beautiful. Dave was hired full time with enthusiasm on my side - I finally found someone who is willing to listen, understand, convert crazy ideas into blueprints, and take care of the project implementation. He not only did a fantastic job of the new addition design, architect, engineering and construction, but also completely redesigned existing structure. His vision changed my mind. HIs ability to work with different clients is amazing. I'm one of very difficult customers to deal with because I'm a perfectionist and demand only the best. After all documentation was agreed and signed off, he completely covered the task of getting city permits (we had more than one including 120 feet long 6 feet tall retaining wall). It was a pleasant experience for me. I did read about a lot of issues related to getting a construction permit with the city and was prepared to worse. It went really well. Simultaneously, Dave helped to pick up a construction company for the project. He interviewed several and helped to pick a right one. And... he was hired as a project manager and acceptance engineer for our project. He also handled all communications with the city inspectors and managed general and subcontractors on the daily bases. What was expected to be a very difficult project to finish, turned out to be a great experience for me working with engineers and contractors. There were few situations where I was unhappy with some of sub-contractors performance/quality. Dave was in place to solve them gracefully in a very professional manner. Overall, Dave handled the project all the way from discussing the new design to the last city signature. I already recommended Dave to few of my friends who want to change their properties looking at what was done to our house. And... I would highly recommend him to anybody who needs an open-minded, intelligent, polite (at the same time strong) and very professional designer/architect/engineer.”

“Stayed on the project as necessary to meet deadlines. Considered all opinions and was very knowledgeable in explanations throughout process discussing budgets,work quality and changes we wanted. Highly recommended..”
