Beware!! Overprice, under-qualified and very unimpressive. They WILL keep your retainer even if you…read moredon't proceed, so avoid putting money down they will justify it with a single hour visit. $850 for a single 1 hour visit, no joke. They will literally rob you of your retainer and then ignore your emails. Unfortunately I hired Erin from Design Group which required a retainer of $850 to come have a consultation. Yup you read that right. Just to get them to come out, you have to put down a retainer for the job. Well didn't seem that bad at first since I was going to use them anyways. However, upon arrival it became very clear that Erin was just full of buzzwords and not at all used to social queues or ability to read the room. She was pushing her way or no way for how we would layout the barn. I really wanted my land to be used the way it was, but she was insistent that the only option was to put the barn part way into my driveway. What a horrible suggestion. I have 2.5 acres of land with adequate room. Yes there is a creek that runs through a portion of it and some leeways that are about 60 ft around the fence line but there are plenty of options to work with. Unfortunately Erin wasn't kind enough to discuss those options, she just kept pushing that we build it several feet into my driveway and just reroute the driveway if needed. I continued to let her know this is not how I want it as this is my home and I want it done nicely, not just to make it fit where it's most easy for land moving. She continued to talk at my general contractor and myself for another 30 minutes about her opinions and refusing to discuss other options until finally she left. We decided not to move forward with Engineering Design Group due to their narrow vision and inability to think outside the box or even communicate effectively. I wish that was where the story ends. Erin had spent a little less than an hour at my property of which I have Nest Cameras showing her arrival and departure. I asked for a refund of the retainer minus her 1 hour consultation and the proceeded to keep $475 of the retainer because she had to answer the phone a couple of times to set up the consultation and did the site visit. I reached out and said I'm fine with up to $250 for that one hour, but anymore then that is just getting to be price gauging and they should really reconsider this. They pushed back and said I'm sorry you weren't happy with the consultation fee. Then proceeded to ignore me after that. I've never dealt with such an unprofessional company. I'm so disappointed in this place. I can't imagine how they could possibly stay in business with practices like this.

And, if you are reading this, this is what you undoubtedly are looking for as well. Success is no accident. Starting with Steve, Jillian, and Mariah in the office, we selected the perfect (for us) cabinets, flooring, and shower materials (we went with Quartz counter tops and shower panels paired with textured marble shower floor tiles for improved traction). Developing the scope of work for this project came next. We worked this out with Steve. He was very patient with us. Time spent here yields the best results in the end. When done well, it streamlines and optimizes the work schedule for the construction crew. Steve and Jillian also confirmed "compatibility" feedback for the other personal choices that we wanted such as exhaust fans, faucets, shower head and mixer, toilets, mirrors, sinks, grab bars, etc. which we purchased separately, but were expertly installed by the Hugo the project foreman (a real artist at his trade) and his crews. Randy was the project manager for this job. He did a great job. Lastly, our very sincere thanks to Joe, the company owner, for assembling such a wonderful crew and for his insight and guidance along the way. Everyone involved respected this as OUR home, not just a construction site. I cannot begin to express how greatly we appreciated that. Customer service, throughout the project, was world class. As I stated, this is the short version of our experience with Rightway. We hope that your project goes as smoothly as ours.

We were on a time crunch since our entire new kitchen was in our garage but we couldn't move forward without these plans. Jim came over the following day, took all our information and within 3 days had plans for us. When we took the plans to the county for our permit there were some simple corrections that needed to be done.

That all changed when we called Eco Minded. They made the construction/landscaping process seamless and easy from start to finish. It only took 3 months to do our entire .2 acre backyard. Everything from plants, our deck, pergola, turf, putting green, fruit tree grove, pavers, built in grill, and walkways! They also provided the drafting plans to submit to our HOA, 3D designs, assistance for plant selection meetings, and a direct line of communication where they responded every time within the hour. We also had the same crew working on our project from start to finish. They also didn't pause our job to work another job and come back, it was nonstop progress! The crew always showed up on time or early and even worked through heavy winter / spring rains to make sure the project stay on track. Even with our budget, Todd and Dave used their personal connections and discounts to save us money while not taking a cut. For example, we saved 20% off the total amount of the turf saving us a few thousand dollars.
