I can't recommend Avo from Arch Dezign enough!

Highly recommend if you want a team that is organized, thorough, and fully invested in doing the job right.

The drawing is very detailed if you want to find the measurements, it's there in front of you compared to other architects that cannot find any measurements Another best thing is that they are always there every time you call them. You don't have to hustle to be in touch with them for any questions you have. I highly recommend them

I had been thinking of building an ADU for a long time and finally had the team at EZ Plans come…read moreout and take a look at my project. They were highly recommended to me by people I trust. Deservedly so. Ray and Leslie are a gem. Their team, including Michael Song and Pilar Mutec, were a pleasure to work with. I am fairly detail oriented and Pilar was so easy to work with through my multiple design changes. She showed me multiple renderings and made changes as requested on the renderings, with Mike amending the plans as needed. All the while guiding me along the way. I was minutes away from getting a variance from the DWP to allow my ADU to come within the set back from the power poles when the Palisades' fire started. The EZ Plan's team fully cooperated when the DWP said no, and redrew my plans from scratch. They helped me qualify the contractors and walked me through the differences in the bids. Whenever I had a question during the construction process, they were there to help and guide me along the way. A BIG thank you to the EZ Plans team for making their part of the construction process as easy as it could have possibly been.

Our family had a very difficult experience with this company. We were told by the sales team that…read morethe roof would be free, that they were working with the city, and that they were working alongside Tesla. Based on those representations, we agreed to move forward. After the work was completed, we were confronted with a large payment demand and a mechanic's lien was recorded against our property. We have spent months trying to resolve the dispute. The company later sent us a settlement agreement stating that it would waive the charges. We simply requested that the agreement also expressly include the release and recording of the mechanic's lien so the matter could be fully resolved. We have not yet received a response. We hope the company completes the resolution by releasing the lien so this matter can finally be put behind us.

Roofing work was good…read more My issue is with the company itself. I had a representative i was intially working with who told me that Evolve would be covering the public adjuster fees if i used Evolve to do the roofing work (i have text messages from him to prove this). He also told me that I'd get $200 off my deductible if i kept their company sign in front of my house (which i did). We went through Bulldog adjusters, their preferred adjuster. Halfway through the process my representative left the company and after me having to call the company multiple times across a few months they assigned me to a new representative. My new representative confirmed over the phone that Evolve would be covering the public adjuster fees multiple times, which i specifically asked about multiple times to ensure i had the finances planned correctly. He also told me that the $200 off my deductible for the sign in my yard was not going to happen (bummer, but this was not my main issue). Eventually Evolve received the funds from my insurance and completed the work. However, after the work was completed they sent me an invoice that included the public adjuster fees and told me i had to pay them. I was very confused so i tried calling my rep 5 different times and he would not take my call. I emailed the accounts receivable department about my issue with backup and they just kept citing my contract which said that I'd be responsbile for paying anything else, even though i was told repeatedly by multiple Evolve reps that i would not have to pay for the public adjuster fees. I provided them proof of the reps telling me that i would not have to pay the fees but they did not care. I tried calling customer support on 4 different occasions and was told i'd receive a call back within 48-72 hours and never once heard back from the company. I settled up the rest of my owed balance (aside from adjuster fees) with their accounting team, but they are insisting i must pay the public adjuster fees portion otherwise they will be placing a lien on my home next week. I've tried repeatedly to get someone on the phone to discuss this with and nobody will get in touch with me. The way this company has handled this matter is extremely unprofessional and they are essentially forcing my hand after contradicting what their own company representatives have told me. It is a shady way to do business and i would not recommend working with this company in the future. I hope someone from Evolve sees this and finally reaches out to me before they decide to place a lien on my home, it should not be this difficult to get someone on the phone.

We hired Ron to do the architectural plans for the remodel of a fourplex. He came in with a fancy camera scanner to measure everything, a very efficient process. He was very much on time with the delivery of the initial draft. We discussed minor changes and submitted to the city, and they had just had a few minor corrections before approval, which is better than other architectural teams I have worked with. After we began work on the project, we discovered a beam in the ceiling was not pointing in the right direction, leading to the need for a revision to the plans. The engineer Margarito went on site and approved changes, which allowed us to quickly adapt. Overall this was a very streamlined process, I would be happy to use his services in the future and can very much recommend him.

Ron was really easy…read moreto work with and did a great job explaining the whole process upfront, especially since we were new to permits and planning. The timeline was totally reasonable (honestly, my slow email responses probably added more time than anything on their end), and the plans were approved by the city on the first try, which was a huge relief. It was also hard to find someone willing to take on a smaller project at a fair price, and they were very thorough. Even months later, they've still been responsive with follow-up questions from our contractor. Would definitely recommend, especially for smaller renovations or additions.
