We used Holah D+A for a major home remodel and addition. Greg and Libby were fantastic to work…read morewith. They listened to our ideas, added some cool ideas of their own, and designed a home that we love! Their design kept the 1950's vibe of our home, but updated it with a more modern style. From the basketweave design of the floor in the kitchen to the spa-like feel of the master bath, every touch is perfect. They were a tremendous help at every stage of the remodel. They helped make finish choices, worked with the contractor to keep the project moving, and helped make sure we got everything we asked for and more. We couldn't have done it with them!

They were able to recommend several exceptional contractors that they'd worked with, which helped us get off to a timely start on the remodel. The public areas of the house were taken down to the studs. Libby designed some much needed storage, as well as a spectacular kitchen and main bath. Greg added additional character to the front of the house with the addition of a covered porch and addition to the garage to accommodate a workshop.

My contractor needed them quickly and Luis was able to deliver the plans within a week. We were on a tight budget and he worked with us all the way through staying within it. All around good service, great communication and even provided a bit of an education for me since I'm a newbie at this architecture design stuff. Once we finish this bathroom we're on to the redesign of the kitchen - I'll be back in touch with him next year! I would highly recommend his services.

There are tons of cookie cutter house plans online but we needed a design that would work with the odd specifications of our lot. It was also important to find a home designer who understands the parameters of the City of Portland building codes.

I am SO glad I found them because they were an invaluable resource throughout the project! They helped me find and secure a location, find multiple excellent contracting firms to execute the project and spent hours with me nailing down every little detail.

This company is owned by a fellow named Gabe Newbold. His primary address is a PO Box in…read moreHillsboro, Oregon. Certified paperwork sent to this PO Box has not been picked up in weeks. Based on the problems that we are having just getting this company (Gabe) to return our phone calls, and the fact that they have swallowed our deposit without even starting to work on our front deck (we paid the deposit in December 2023 and it's now May 2024), I'd say that this company is bordering on fraudulent behavior. Sort of a "take the money and run" business behavior. Too bad. The guy that owns/runs the company (Gabe) comes across as a really nice guy, but then he has excuse after excuse for not starting the work, big sigh. He won't even answer the phone when we call him anymore. I'd recommend staying clear of Gabe and his companies (Cascade Building Concepts and Cascade Buildings).
