I have worked with Robb on several ADU designs as well as a kitchen remodel for our personal residence. Robb is very efficient and knowledgeable about design as well as the permitting process. I would gladly work with Robb on any future projects!

Robb was efficient, accurate and kept me informed during the process of obtaining permits. He promptly helped with additional requests from the city, and expedited the issuance of my permit. I would highly recommend him.

I feel strongly that your suggestions saved me construction cost and retained a beautiful look to the house. I also appreciated your willingness to continue helping me with my project even after you handed me my finished plans.

Not everyone wants or needs to build a new house. For many, remodeling and updating their existing home is what’s right for them. We have a long history of helping homeowners grow their home, or "age in place" with it.
When you remodel, the changes can be quite dramatic, bringing much needed space, functionality, and a new fresh look. Changes can also come with challenges, but with careful planning, those challenges can be overcome, blending the old and new together. We strongly believe that your new expansion should look like it was always there.
Take a look at these real life projects.
Here was an older single-story track home. Feeling that the house was very small, the owners decided to turn the garage into living space. They also wanted to build a new garage and front porch. Fortunately their yard had room for the expansion.
We designed for their requirements - more bedrooms, a bathroom, and a game room filled the former garage, and with the new porch the house got a more attractive roof line. The owners gained both space and equity. Here it is in the final finishing up stage. It looks like a brand new home.
Sometimes it can be difficult to figure out how to fit in the extra space that’s needed, especially when the property or structure of the home isn’t easy to work with. Here was a two-story home with different roof pitches and a very cramped living room. Furthermore it’s located on a sloped and rocky city lot. For a large house it didn’t have the openness the owners desired. There was hardly room to sit, and none to entertain.
But with the right design both the structural challenges were met and the freedom to move around was gained and integrated in a way that didn’t appear out of character for the home. Money was saved in the design by reusing the existing patio door. The fireplace was retained and relocated. And the upstairs windows didn’t have to be redone. Now they can enjoy their living room.
Those are just a few examples to show that remodeling can and should be a positive experience. If you’re planning on renovating your home, we’d love to assist. Just fill out our contact form and let us know what you need. We’ll advise you on your best possible options.
