I was asked by my client to…read morecontact Michael Seay about further work on the build and repairs (that they will gladly pay for) as he is the builder listed on the plans. After multiple emails, phone calls and voicemails over the course of several weeks, I have not received even a courtesy call back to see what the work is or how they can help on a project they have complete familiarity with and would be helpful on. I'm not sure if they had a falling out with the previous owners over the project, but I find their lack of communication to be incredibly unprofessional and completely lacking of basic common courtesy in business and therefore deserving of this review.

This is a long overdue review for a gorgeous Craftsman style bathroom remodel that AAA Development…read moredid for me in my Thousand Oaks home. Mike Seay took my initial design concepts and worked with me to get to a final product of my dreams. They were easy to get a hold of and were great communicators throughout the entire process. They made sure to address challenges and solutions along the way, and consult with me for any decisions that needed made (whether it be colors, materials, costs, layouts, etc.) The attention to detail and quality of their work is truly amazing. The billing process is detailed by line item so it's easy to understand. If changes are needed/wanted during the process it is super clear as to the cost difference. We are really happy with the outcome and have recommended them to both family and friends.

The fixtures were steel, badly rusted, and rotted-through in spots. Raoul media-blasted them all, made needed metal repairs, powder-coated them in a beautiful oil-rubbed bronze color, replaced some missed beaded glass, and rewired them all. Stunning! And he also engineered better mounting plates to correct some unevenness in mounting heights. Bravo Raoul and thank you! Better than

Through a good friend we learned about Dawn Sherry and Sherry and Associates Architects, Inc. Dawn and her amazing staff helped us with everything from a modern office design, to bathroom and kitchen updates that compliment the historical beauty of our home, to the fine details of exterior railings, landscape and fountains that add to the charm of what was already here. Dawn and her team of professionals listened to our wishes, put together designs, connected us with excellent vendors, and worked to consistently make sure our vision was being reached. As a bonus they helped us navigate the intricacies of historical and review committees in the building department. They never tired of process it takes to get work approved. We are so grateful to Dawn, Brooke and the rest of the staff and Sherry and Associates for helping us with our projects. We high recommend their services.

David was really patient with us as we didn't have the biggest budget and helped us with not only a well laid out floor plan for our changing needs (it was very funky before) but also helped with our project management which I found incredibly helpful. Most important, we didn't have to hire a separate designer. He suggested very thoughtful period centric elements to build in and materials, tiles, and color schemes to ensure our home had the right feel. He introduced me to some really beautiful and unique materials I'd have never found. In the end we finished everything (including the landscaping) in 2019 before the pandemic to enjoy full time home living. My last comment is that David also works fairly quickly. Our street is older had many architects remodeling our neighbors and it seemed we had the fastest process with getting our plans completed. Highly recommend David.
