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.

He advised me to check first with the city planning dept. before hiring his firm, in an attempt to save time & money.

I am so thankful for Mr. Parrague. We had to tear down an old unit in the backyard, and update a…read morefew things in the main house with the city breathing down our throats. At first we tried to do it ourselves by finding family recommended architect to draw prints for us for submission and whatever else the city wants. Then we tried to find contracts and they either stuck up their noses at us or didn't even bother showing up at the appointment. Finding a trustworthy contractor is hard. So I looked up Yelp and found Mr. Parrague and initially contacted one of the reviewer, Henry, because he offered to shed more light on his experience. He was so kind and highly recommened Parrague Construction. And I'm living in another country and my Mom's English isn't fluent enough to handle this kind of matter. So I called Mr. Parrague and he made me feel safe. He is a one stop shop because I wasn't sure if the city was going to ask to redo the blueprints or not. He was very professional, on-time, and does not push for extra things just to make more money, in fact it's the opposite. He is tough, which you need to be when dealing with the city, and very experienced. He will go out of his way to help you. His crew is clean and his assistant is also kind and very communicative, but Mr. Parrague usually is your main point of contact. He likes to handle the calls himself. Once my mom called around 5pm saying they installed the garage door wrong (they did not) and I thought she got locked out of the house. I had to call Mr. Parrague from outside the country (Skype) and he said he will go straight to my house after his meeting which was an hour away from my house bc they had my spare key. I told my mom and realized she wasn't locked out. So whether it was installed correctly or not, it was NOT an emergency. I quickly messaged Mr. Parrague because it can be dealt the next day. I didn't want him to get in an accident trekking across LA. He understood and STILL showed up! This is now probably 7pm. They figured out that it was my Mom who didn't understand how the new garage door worked....So I am so thankful for them for their work and for dealing with the City and get me approved and case closed. I am a fan. XD

Justin not only delivered as promised but also stayed in constant communication with me. If I had a question about the design or the process he made himself available and helped me.

I hired Richard last year for my home remodeling after interviewing quite a number of architects…read moreand design firms.

Remodeling is very stressful and I am very glad that I choose Richard as my architect.

My husband found him through yelp and his proposal looks he can finish the job fast. He got our deposit, but drag us for 5 months, deliver nothing. He lacks communication with his client. After he got our deposit, he doesn't pick up our phone calls. We had to keep email to track status. He will be upset if we ask too many times. His reason is he is expanding his business and very busy. Every time when we lost hope, he will give us one PDF with some changes. But never finish the floor plan. After 5 months waiting, We had to find another architecture and start over again. I wish he could let us know in front HE IS BUSY. Luckily we found the right architect this time and he finished whole plan in 3 months.
