I can't recommend Avo from Arch Dezign enough! He has helped me, as well as several of my family…read moreand friends, with our home and ADU designs, and the experience has been nothing short of amazing. Avo is incredibly patient, taking the time to listen to our ideas and really understand our vision. He's meticulous and detail-oriented, making sure every aspect of the design is thoughtfully considered. Beyond his talent, Avo is professional, approachable, and truly cares about delivering the best results. Every project he touches reflects his creativity, expertise, and commitment to quality. Whether you're building a new home, remodeling, or designing an ADU, Avo is the architect you want on your side. Highly, highly recommend!

We did a lot of research before starting our ADU project and met with several contractors. The…read moremoment we sat down with Avo from Arch Dezign, we knew he was different. He was straightforward, knowledgeable, and really took the time to understand what we wanted instead of pushing his own agenda. Building an ADU is overwhelming from the start.. But Avo really carried that weight for us. He dealt with the back-and-forth, and made it feel manageable instead of stressful. He kept us updated every step of the way and was always available when we had questions. We never felt confused or left wondering what was happening. That kind of communication and ownership made all the difference. What stood out most was how much care he put into the details. Everything was done thoughtfully and with intention. If something needed adjustment, he handled it right away. The finished ADU honestly came out better than we expected. The space feels comfortable, well-designed, and solidly built. It's clear he takes real pride in his work and wants the final result to truly reflect that. Working with Avo felt organized, professional, and stress-free. We would 100% work with them again.

I looked through yelp and even left numerous msgs for various engineers. All of which were either uninterested or charged ridiculous fees. Arsen was recommended to me by a friend and he was perfect for the job. His expertise and knowledge helped us make the very important decision to not remove a structural wall. I recently just hired him again for another project which was in the works since October of last year. After being totally taken advantage of by another engineer, Arsen came by and offered more advise with patience, a detailed explanation regarding the integrity of our building and leveling of another homeowners floors and offered a great report to have on file. He is honest, sincere and above all has a great personality. I would recommend him over and over again!

I found out about Evolve from Angie's List. I contacted them and spoke with Asaf (or Asaph--he…read morespells it both ways). He was very cordial over the phone and we set a day to meet to get a quote for a master bathroom remodel. I ended up using Evolve after meeting with Asaf. One of the things that sold me was his guarantee that there were no hidden costs in his quote. He made a list of things I needed to pay for and told me that his team would cover everything else. Look--nothing is ever perfect, especially when it comes to home repair/remodeling. That said, whatever issues I had (and there was nothing remotely major), Asaf handled immediately. I've never had a contractor or company rep respond almost immediately to text messages or phone calls. The work itself was great. Again, any minor thing I pointed out was fixed promptly. The craftsmanship of the tiling is pretty awesome, in particular. Craftsmanship is one thing. Service, communication, and honesty are something else entirely. I put a lot of trust in Asaf and while he wasn't the guy doing the work itself, he knew the game plan and was always more than happy to help with any of my questions or concerns. I just signed the "completion certificate" for my bathroom project and wrote a check for my final payment. As promised, there were no hidden or extra costs. I'll continue to recommend Evolve to friends and coworkers, and will get a bid from them again when I move on to my kitchen remodel. In the meantime, I'll be enjoying my new bathroom. I would be very surprised if anyone has a negative experience with Evolve that Asaf wouldn't be able to fix. I recommend them highly.

Our family had a very difficult experience with this company. We were told by the sales team that…read morethe roof would be free, that they were working with the city, and that they were working alongside Tesla. Based on those representations, we agreed to move forward. After the work was completed, we were confronted with a large payment demand and a mechanic's lien was recorded against our property. We have spent months trying to resolve the dispute. The company later sent us a settlement agreement stating that it would waive the charges. We simply requested that the agreement also expressly include the release and recording of the mechanic's lien so the matter could be fully resolved. We have not yet received a response. We hope the company completes the resolution by releasing the lien so this matter can finally be put behind us.

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.
