Working with Greyson was awesome. After having some sub-par work done on our house prior to moving…read morein, my wife and I consulted Greyson to take a look at the damage and see if there was any structural issues that needed to be addressed. He was very responsive and was able to come to our home the same day. His walkthrough, insight and expertise was above and beyond. He answered all our questions very thoroughly and even brought up how to improve some other potential issues and offered solutions. My wife and I felt very comfortable working with him. I highly recommend working with Greyson.

Glendale Community Development / Build & Safety completely dropped the ball in monitoring/ completing the permit but Greyson stayed engaged even though it took 8 months to secure the correct permit, finally appropriately emailing the Glendale Mayor to help with delays. Frustrating to all of us but the engineering & renovation passed muster easily once things were in gear! Appreciate his patience and commitment to getting things done!!

As a first time home builder, I walked into their offices as green as can be with no idea what I…read morewas doing or the journey that I was about to embark on. Astra and Lawrence guided me through the ups and downs of homebuilding and dealing with the city, contractors, engineers and the politics behind it all. They were AMAZING and couldn't hold them in higher regard. If you speak with them, ask them about my project and you will understand how amazing they were. Don't forget to ask the bit about suing the City with our local council members and gaining a favorable decision in arbitration!! Yeah!! Don't bother looking anywhere else, you found your architect's!!

Lawrence and his staff designed a home and a detached garage w/living quarters for me and my…read morefamily. The project was rather large as it was almost 6,000 sq ft. I came to Lawrence's company with plans from a prior architect that were a total mess. The plans from the prior so called "Architect" were ripped to shreds by LADBS, because they were "substandard. These plans as designed made the project extremely costly. Lawrence and his staff, Jewell in particular, quickly got the plans up to par and the cost of the projected plummeted. The plans also passed LADBS with relatively few hitches. When picking an Architect the most important factor is to get a cost effective structural design that complies with all building codes and yet meets all of your design needs. Lawrence met and exceeded all of these factors for my project. As far as the overall project design, he maintained the style of the neighborhood and my taste. The area that the project is in is a Residential/Agricultural Zone in Woodland Hills that was once farm land. While people in this area try to put a Mediterranean Villa style design or as one of my neighbors adjacent to me has a 70's stucco/90's space age/Chinese zen style home, with this in mind Lawrence and I set out to retain the "farm" style of the area and stay away from these other trends. For the additional living quarters and garage, we ended up designing a barn with wood siding and a highly efficient and beautiful metal roof that gets compliments from neighbors and passerby's. The height and style in fact matched another neighbors barn adjacent to me. Basically the barn fits right in and is far from an eye sore. I hope my neighbors follow suit with this design. The main home at the front of the property is also a farm style single story home that he designed to retain all of the original charm that the original farm home has. He designed it to be a single story farm style that again matches our neighborhood. This design utilized a lot of the key features and spaces that I loved about the existing home and simply made it better. It also is going to save me a lot of money as we are retaining these spaces. Lawrence and Jewell did a great job!

Initially, I was quite impressed with EGN Builders Group. We were looking to transform a closet…read moreinto an office, and EGN was one of the first companies I contacted. Someone answered right away and seemed confident and eager that the company could do the work for us. Representatives were sent a day later to come check out the space and gather the info necessary to provide a quote. I should have known on that day that EGN was just smoke and mirrors. First of all, during the ~5 minutes that they were actually here, no one took measurements of anything. Not a thing. They basically eyeballed it. They didn't really go in the closet to get a closer look. I was naïve and thought maybe they had done these jobs plenty of times in the past or something... LOL. They said they could do the work, they'd get me a quote ASAP, and left. Well, I got the quote a few days later... way lower than it should have been. I called and asked a few questions, and they said they would get back to me. Apparently, they didn't actually realize the extent of the job. There were no measurements, and they asked me to send dimensions over to them. LOL, what?! I waited for a few more days -- nothing. So I called again and they said the representative was no longer there. Okay. I was told I would hear back once they were able to figure some things out on their end. We needed some work done on the door, for instance, and they needed to discuss internally how best to approach it. The door was wired a certain way, and we needed the wires removed. EGN said they had a couple of ideas and would let me know. Then, they just never followed up. Approximately 2.5 months go by, and I get a call one afternoon from a very sheepish person who said he is from EGN and wanted to know how he can go about getting the estimate approved. By now, we had obviously moved forward with someone else. The work had been done well over a month ago, at least. The fact that EGN called after so much time had passed was... almost insulting. Definitely laughable. Especially because they still had not figured out what to do with the door. I guess they were hoping they could buy more time to figure it out...? I would highly recommend NOT using EGN. Maybe they were going through some issues internally or whatever, but however they handled it was pitiful. Go get a quote from somewhere more reputable.

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.

He was incredibly knowledgeable about the specific regulations and challenges when it comes to building in Topanga which is essential if you want to build there. Geoff met us at the property to talk through some thoughts and ideas. He was incredibly kind, helpful, and thoughtful. He then worked very quickly and efficiently to give us a detailed analysis of his thoughts, recommendations, estimated building costs, and next steps. Ultimately we ended up not pursuing the land and we're very grateful to Geoff for helping us understand the building process better. It was a pleasure working with Topanga Architecture and we look forward to hopefully working with them again in the future.
