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.

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.

We started with an ~1,600 sq ft home and Ben helped us completely reimagine it into a 3,600+ sq ft dream home that our family plans to keep for generations. What stood out throughout the process was Ben's rare combo of deep technical capability and a genuinely easy, approachable working style. Ben brought significant in-house strength to the table: full architectural design (including our California room / covered patio), plus engineering coordination around soil/civil and drainage planning. That integrated approach made the process far more seamless -- fewer handoffs, fewer gaps, and fewer "who owns this?" moments. And his pricing was fair and attractive for the level of rigor and service. As the build progressed, Ben stayed close and collaborative -- not just sending plans and disappearing. He worked with us and our contractors, answered questions, and helped keep things moving. He was also extremely responsive; he typically replied within a few hours, which makes a huge difference when you're trying to keep a project on track. Ben handled submissions and permitting with the City of Fullerton and worked through City-requested changes efficiently, saving us countless hours and headaches. He also has a sharp eye for detail -- his plans were thorough, complete, and clear -- and he brought creative solutions to get the design we wanted while respecting the budget. Our taste is traditional / Cape Cod, and he did an outstanding job translating inspiration photos into a finished design that feels classic, intentional, and timeless. We went through more than four rounds of revisions, and Ben was patient and constructive the entire time -- he worked with us until we were genuinely happy. Bottom line: Ben translated our dreams into reality, and did it with professionalism, responsiveness, and real care. We recommend him and are happy to discuss our experience with anyone considering BN Design Build. We're almost done with the build and will post pictures once finished!

Easy 5 stars from me…read more Hired Artoo Design to help with plans for a renovation project in my home. Because of the structural and electrical scope, I decided to build fully permitted and up to code. I hired Artoo twice. About 18 months ago I bought a one-time consultation. The consult fee is not cheap, but it's totally worth it. I got a full preview of everything that would be required for my project - sizing of structural members, ratings for materials, and what would (and wouldn't) fly with city inspectors. I also got a handful of solutions for things I didn't know how to handle. The meeting really streamlined my planning and thinking about design tradeoffs. The second time I hired Artoo (December) was to do the full construction plans. I met with Ramy to do an updated plan review and for him to take some measurements. I really felt like he was taking my input and we were working together on the final details. Then the quality of the drawings themselves are impeccable. In a previous life I did heavy AutoCAD drafting, so I'm very picky about drawings being accurate and complete. They were also turned around really fast. Much faster than I could have drawn in my prime. Next was probably the best part - Ramy said he would help with any notes from the city plan review process. I was worried how that would go. We had to do some revisions, but it was totally painless thanks to hiring the right company. I felt unstoppable with Ramy as a partner, and I got everything I wanted approved by the city. I'm writing this review today (August) because I had another small question about the plans, and Ramy basically answered my email immediately. Super tight customer service. I don't always have the budget or time to build things right. Artoo Design is one of those companies you should hire when quality and time is important. When you have a project that needs the best, this is the group to go to.

Horst was a very friendly person in all of our meetings and his team is talented, but here is where…read morethings went wrong. 1. Horst rendered different window frames from what I have in my $5M penthouse in DTLA. Replacing window frames was not part of the budget so the renderings were inaccurate; color, thickness, spacing. This is extremely misleading because why would you want to see a rendering that is not 100% accurate before you invest a minimum of $500k-1M into remodeling? 2. His team needed multiple revisions to the living room fireplace and master bedroom, but the master bedroom revisions were never impressive. 3. After I paid the invoice without questions asked, I requested Horst to send all of the files and artwork that we reviewed in the design process. To this day, after having my lawyer email him, he has yet to provide files for everything that I was billed for. I'm a very chill person who always pays the bills, but when Horst himself isn't aware of what was shown to me and sent to me by his associate, that means he has flaws, serious flaws that cost us time and money (because we drove down to meet at his office). Furthermore, his team never delivered a satisfactory rendering of the master bedroom (even Horst wasn't satisfied in our meetings). Now I know art takes time because I'm a creative director in the fashion industry, but why should I pay for the creative struggles his staff has in nailing a cool design? Don't be fooled by the nice drinks he offers you in his office or the pretty renderings his team will show you - look out for yourself at all times and monitor your billings closely because I'm sure he has a tendency to go over initially discussed estimates. I have an email from him that clearly expressed gratitude at me paying the full invoice amount when often others who stop projects don't (check attached image).

Greg Baird, Master Designer, came out to discuss my proposed layout. He actually talked me out of installing additional cabinets because he had the foresight that it would be too cramped and crowded.

We got lucky. As part of a whole house remodel, we elected to have Haynes Cabinetry change out our…read morekitchen and bathroom cabinetry. We spent a huge amount of time and effort, researching different cabinetry companies in order to find the right match for us. It became clear as we researched that there is a big dividing line within the cabinetry industry. Most typically there are guys who have table saws, and tape measures and they proceed to chop up wood and nail it together. However, a more recent development in the cabinetry business is what we were looking for. The most advanced companies come out, take measurements of the room and then design the cabinetry on a three dimensional computer system. This provides a way of essentially seeing what you're going to create before you even make one bit of sawdust. Once an optimized design is finalized, the wood parts are cut up and drilled by computer controlled machines, that very precisely control the dimensions of the wood parts to within only a few thousands of an inch. At that point the wood panels are simply put together with very little effort and essentially no corrective measures being needed. The result is a cabinet assembly that comes out essentially perfect. All drawers are precisely in line, everything fits pretty much perfectly. And this is how Haynes cabinetry operates. Along with Haynes, using the most advanced methods of creating cabinetry, throughout our project, they continually displayed a most proactive approach to dealing with us. At no point during the project, did we ever have to ask to have something done a second time. Everything we asked was taken care of, and taken care of with a smile. It was as if we were having friends that we've known for years come over and perform this work, they were amazing! Looking back at our home remodel, it is clear that Haynes cabinetry led the pack with regards to comparing them with the other contractors that we had involved in our project. We cannot recommend Haynes too much.

The…read morefinal result made our once cramped kitchen feel spacious, and the beauty and craftsmanship was simply unmatched. We had just gone through the painstaking process of throwing away new cabinets made by another company, as they were not to code and didn't fit our space. Finally that saga had ended, and our dreams had come true in a beautiful shade of whitewashed red oak. We did hire a layout design specialist prior to meeting Charles, but the company took our design a step further and concocted a very ingenious shape for the lazy susans to maximize storage. The drawers on our base cabinets are deep, spacious and close softly. It's amazing how much we can store now. As with all renovations there were some delays getting the ball rolling, but the final result was well worth the wait. Their fabulous builder, Alfred is incredibly helpful and has called me personally to talk through things. The installers were also top notch. Thanks again, Haynes for a job well done!

This was an unfortunate accident, but he was aggressive in his response, refused to be liable for the damages, and accused my husband and I of trying to essentially swindle him to repair our garage. Photo and video evidence of his damages included in the review. I do not enjoy leaving negative reviews, but I cannot, in good conscience, let this go unanswered. Full story: I found Shafi via Home Depot Pro Referral and hired him to install 2 toilets and a shower head. I was not home at the time of the install because I took my dog to my parent's house to make sure Shafi could install everything without being disturbed by my dog. My husband was home the entire install. Shafi realized there was a part missing in one of the toilets, so he went to home depot to buy the additional part. As he was leaving, he closed the garage door but unfortunately the way the toilets were positioned, the sensors did not detect an obstruction and closed onto the toilets. (Photos of damage and video of occurrence attached to review). My husband heard the garage door make a loud noise, but as he works from home, he was in a meeting and could not check the situation then subsequently forgot about the situation. I come home as Shafi is finishing up the install. The garage door is open at this time, so I do not notice anything awry. He finishes the install and shows me everything works. I pay him for his services immediately. After he leaves, I go into the garage and immediately notice how much light is filtering through the garage door which is not normal and ask my husband if anything happened and he updates me on the noise he heard. I text Shafi about what happened and he ADMITS THE GARAGE DOOR CLOSES ON THE TOILETS (texts included in review as well). I ask Shafi to open up an insurance claim to handle the damages and he responds aggressively and claims that we are trying to scam him. I did not want to fight with him so I contact Home Depot Pro Referral support to escalate the case to see if they can handle the situation as Shafi was obviously not being helpful. Unfortunately, Home Depot denied responsibility as well due to their referrals being independent contractors and not employees of Home Depot, I have since reached out to Shafi again for him to take responsibility of the damages, but he has left me on read. I will reiterate that he did complete the job as asked for but his response to me asking him to take responsibility for the damages he caused was extremely disappointing and unprofessional. Luckily the damages were only a few hundred dollars, but since accidents could happen to anyone, we would not recommend Shafi for your future home projects given his propensity to avoid taking responsibility for his actions.
