I also thought he was very professional and reasonably priced. I didn't actually start my project right away. There was actually a gap of 4 years.

Can't say enough great things about Art and his group. From the very idea of redoing our bathroom,…read morewe were given thoughtfully considered insight into getting the best quality while also stretching our money as far as possible. Even though I know my wife and I were incredibly frustrating in how we changed some details mid-stream, everyone on the team was helpful, communicative, and always in great spirit to accomplish our dream bathroom. What more is there to say? There's too much money, too much unknown when you're renovating your house, and trust is the most valuable asset you can have in a contractor. Trust that they are working doggedly for you. Trust that the work is great. Trust you are getting way more than your money's worth. Well, we trust Art and Extreme Home Addition intrinsically. You should too.

Thank you for everything, Art! We hope to work with you in the future!

I thought he only did commercial properties but realized he know a lot about California bungalow/craftsman style homes. He listened and understood my goals, and came up with creative ideas to work with my plans, environment, and budget.

Not from Los Angeles, but needed a company to handle all the structural, mechanical, plumbing, and…read moreelectrical engineering to get city permits. Called and interviewed many design firms and architects through Yelp, settled for Zeise. Just get them on the phone after you call other architects. Very professional and experienced. Lease bills add up and I didn't want to deal with the down time from mistakes. Been on that road and just wanted to hire someone that would just handle business like a pro. Tip* If you are looking for a licensed architect to draw up plans, call at least 10. I usually call 3 and settle for one but this niche has too many inexperienced players. Make sure there is no open clauses that bind you into extra payments. If there is an open clauses verify the amount before you sign the contract. Seems like most companies in Los Angeles like to hike the price up with these open contracts.

Faced with a budget, my goals for updating my dark, depressing Mediterranea-style galley kitchen…read morewere limited to appliance swap-out, addition of a wooden floor, and a small gain in work space. Jeff Nott listened carefully, then transformed my kitchen into a space in which I love to work and spend time. in addition, my kitchen, which is open to my living/dining rooms, has great aesthetic appeal. in the end, I not only have expanded work space, wood floor and appliances I selected, but the kitchen appears to be larger, feels light and airy. Plus, I gained badly needed closet space in an adjacent bedroom. I could never have imagined Jeff Nott's design, Project Manager Alex, and his skilled, helpful, and friendly construction crew could transform my formerly oppressive kitchen into a joyful addition to my home. I highly recommend Nott Construction.

From the outset, her aesthetic vision and design instincts were perfectly aligned with ours. She listened to our wants and needs and translated them into an architectural gem. The interplay of natural light and air flowing through each space creates an open, inviting atmosphere where function is balanced by understated elegance. During the construction phase, Gabbi was consistently available to address issues that arose and problem solved them to make sure that every detail looked intentional. She guided us through all the material finishing choices and her recommendations were always superb and mindful of the budget. Even her plant selections for the landscaping completed the look of tranquility and simplicity. Now, years later, we appreciate what has become a timeless sanctuary. Looking back, we couldn't imagine the going through the arduous construction process and getting the exceptional result without Gabbi's expert direction and guidance.

As a first time home builder, I walked into their offices as green as can be with no idea what I…read morewas doing or the journey that I was about to embark on. Astra and Lawrence guided me through the ups and downs of homebuilding and dealing with the city, contractors, engineers and the politics behind it all. They were AMAZING and couldn't hold them in higher regard. If you speak with them, ask them about my project and you will understand how amazing they were. Don't forget to ask the bit about suing the City with our local council members and gaining a favorable decision in arbitration!! Yeah!! Don't bother looking anywhere else, you found your architect's!!

Lawrence and his staff designed a home and a detached garage w/living quarters for me and my…read morefamily. The project was rather large as it was almost 6,000 sq ft. I came to Lawrence's company with plans from a prior architect that were a total mess. The plans from the prior so called "Architect" were ripped to shreds by LADBS, because they were "substandard. These plans as designed made the project extremely costly. Lawrence and his staff, Jewell in particular, quickly got the plans up to par and the cost of the projected plummeted. The plans also passed LADBS with relatively few hitches. When picking an Architect the most important factor is to get a cost effective structural design that complies with all building codes and yet meets all of your design needs. Lawrence met and exceeded all of these factors for my project. As far as the overall project design, he maintained the style of the neighborhood and my taste. The area that the project is in is a Residential/Agricultural Zone in Woodland Hills that was once farm land. While people in this area try to put a Mediterranean Villa style design or as one of my neighbors adjacent to me has a 70's stucco/90's space age/Chinese zen style home, with this in mind Lawrence and I set out to retain the "farm" style of the area and stay away from these other trends. For the additional living quarters and garage, we ended up designing a barn with wood siding and a highly efficient and beautiful metal roof that gets compliments from neighbors and passerby's. The height and style in fact matched another neighbors barn adjacent to me. Basically the barn fits right in and is far from an eye sore. I hope my neighbors follow suit with this design. The main home at the front of the property is also a farm style single story home that he designed to retain all of the original charm that the original farm home has. He designed it to be a single story farm style that again matches our neighborhood. This design utilized a lot of the key features and spaces that I loved about the existing home and simply made it better. It also is going to save me a lot of money as we are retaining these spaces. Lawrence and Jewell did a great job!

Our main contact on our project was Ara, who has an…read moreeccentric demeanor that I can imagine rubbing some folks the wrong way - but he is exactly who we wanted even if we didn't know it. He brings more to the table than simply moving things around in your home, he brings a sense of design and livability and a wealth of experience. He is unafraid to question your intentions and ideas and challenge what you had in mind, which is what I want from an expert - not simply a yes-man. When our ideas were good, he would relent, when they were bad, he'd present better ones. It was more like a collaboration than a mere "service" and we came away with a much better project for having wrestled through the process together. Also, he and Richard are something like a duo-vaudeville act when they're together. It's pretty funny. We worked through the pandemic, we drastically changed direction mid-design, we worked on-site and remotely, our permits were acquired with ease, and we finished on budget and on time. What more can you ask for?
