Micaiah Fletcher Designs

Micaiah is the best investment we made in remodeling our home. We found Micaiah at an open house…read moreand his design really spoke to me and my husband. We are minimalists but with nice tastes, and Micaiah designed our home to just that. My husband and I are not rich people, so he made renderings that are to be either used right away, or done at a later date to help spread our money out. He not only does the design and renderings, but he helped us find our floor guy (and we love our floors!), furniture, shades, paint, etc. He knew we are on a budget, so he worked with our budget to find things that are affordable and sustainable. Our home is still coming together as we are spreading our money out, but once it is 80% finished, I will definitely post photos. Micaiah is so easy to work with and I highly recommend him!

I hired him to create a desert oasis around our home on a low budget and he remained constantly aware of our situation. He is friendly, talented, and gifted and really listens to his clients.

I had to constantly call the county and see where I was at the process because Edgar was unreliable. He would say one thing and the county would say another. Stay as far away as possible from this company.

I needed architecture services for some improvements to a commercial property and reached out to…read moreEdgar after some very strong referrals from friends who flip homes. After he confirmed he has done several similar projects to mine, I decided to proceed with him. He was great at the beginning, answering calls, calling back, sending messages, everything. We walked the property together for him to take measurements and everything on 5/24. He advised he would have the initial drawings to me by "next Friday (6/2). This was faster than I expected so I was excited! After radio-silence, I followed up on 6/7 (Wednesday) and he said he would send drawings by Friday (6/9). Didn't receive anything until 6/13... 11 days after he originally promised. This would have been fine if everything went smoothly from here. We ended up needing to have him revise the plans due to him not correctly reviewing equipment list, not following our requests, misplacing stuff, mislabeling stuff, etc. Even this would have been fine if he got it correctly in one or two corrections. What ended up following was needing corrections SIXTEEN times (that I counted). Each time it would take me a day or two to review with my team followed by him taking a day or more to send corrections. This obviously delayed us a tremendous amount of time. We FINALLY submitted plans to the city for review July 31st. Only to get a call a few days later because the Building Official at the city wanted to "discuss the scope of the project." We went back in and the building official ripped me a new one telling me the submission was ALL wrong and that he refused to even review it because of how bad they were. I asked Edgar to get it done ASAP so we can get the ball rolling again. Unfortunately, it's not August 23rd and we still don't have plans ready to submit back to the city. This means we are now 13 weeks from taking measurements and do not have plans ready for the city to review. I've pleaded with him to prioritize this project due the delays (and my landlord now breathing down my neck), and his response was "this is the normal process." Which would have been believable, but I spoke with others who are going through similar projects who told me their architects took 6 and 8 weeks from measurement-date to full-approval date. So this is obviously not the normal process. If you're looking for an architect to do any commercial services, this is NOT the firm you want to work with.

I rarely write reviews but felt compelled to share my experience with Studio1Plaster…read more I was searching for a company to complete some high end plaster work for a reasonable cost. I put some feelers out and was referred to this company through a designer who does work with them. She couldn't say enough good things and usually when someone is that complimentary, I become cautiously optimistic. What can I say, I've been burned before. They visited my place a few times to get a better feel and understanding for what I was seeking. I was very clear, I didn't want any headaches or hidden costs. I just wanted quality and creativity for an affordable price. After a few meetings and several 'free' custom samples, we kicked off the project. To make a long story short, the crew was extremely professional, quality was outstanding, price was more than reasonable, and they kept to the timeline promised. I've already recommended them to several friends, architects and designers. If you're looking for this type of work, they're hands down the best in town.

They asked for a deposit upfront and said the rest would be due once the job was finished but the owner kept asking for more money every few days throughout the project. It felt like they were more focused on getting paid than doing the job correctly. I have a large home, and they repeatedly ordered less material than needed, which caused constant delays. I had to go back and forth with them far more than any customer ever should. Even after all that, the quality of the work was terrible. As you can see in my photos, the floors are cracking, there are gaps between the vinyl planks, and it's clear they did not check if the subfloor was level before installing. The carpet seams are also visible. They didn't put any trim molding between the carpet and vinyl floor. When I contacted Tom about the issues, he told me to send the pictures to his daughter. I did, but they never replied and never came back to fix the problems. It has only been three years, and I now have to completely tear out the flooring and replace it all over again. They rushed through the installation just to get the job done and collect the money, without any real care for quality or long-term results. Save yourself the headache and avoid this company at all costs.

My husband and I went to his home for a consultation and he seemed nice enough, presented all he would do, so we decided to hire him and paid the deposit. We paid him as we went and he's been paid in full. This has been a slow process at which one point he went missing in action, he moved his residence and did not notify us nor the city as to where to contact him. After repeated calls (which his phone message is not set up to leave messages), and emails. I had to hunt him down through Instagram and contact his assistant. Do not use him. We had a project consisting of a simple detached 20 x 20 garage, along with converting our attached garage to a family room and bathroom. We have had the city out on inspections and two of them were not signed off because of his errors on the plans. He has been paid in full and we have yet after two years to receive an accurate set of plans, which I have asked him for 10+ times.

There were so many red flags that we ignored because we wanted to give him a chance. Should've listened to our gut instinct. Now, we are set back in our budget and our timeline. Look elsewhere if you are looking for an architect/designer--there are plenty of others on the mountain! We can't speak for his actual work because we never got to see it, but if you are looking for someone who is reliable he is not your guy. He turned out to be another person in the construction industry who takes advantage of innocent homeowners. We are hoping that this review will prevent others from making the same bad decision we made in choosing him. We are also hoping that Howard can make this right, but the odds are against us.
