I can't recommend Avo from Arch Dezign enough!

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.

You don't have to hustle to be in touch with them for any questions you have. I highly recommend them

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.

Roofing work was good…read more My issue is with the company itself. I had a representative i was intially working with who told me that Evolve would be covering the public adjuster fees if i used Evolve to do the roofing work (i have text messages from him to prove this). He also told me that I'd get $200 off my deductible if i kept their company sign in front of my house (which i did). We went through Bulldog adjusters, their preferred adjuster. Halfway through the process my representative left the company and after me having to call the company multiple times across a few months they assigned me to a new representative. My new representative confirmed over the phone that Evolve would be covering the public adjuster fees multiple times, which i specifically asked about multiple times to ensure i had the finances planned correctly. He also told me that the $200 off my deductible for the sign in my yard was not going to happen (bummer, but this was not my main issue). Eventually Evolve received the funds from my insurance and completed the work. However, after the work was completed they sent me an invoice that included the public adjuster fees and told me i had to pay them. I was very confused so i tried calling my rep 5 different times and he would not take my call. I emailed the accounts receivable department about my issue with backup and they just kept citing my contract which said that I'd be responsbile for paying anything else, even though i was told repeatedly by multiple Evolve reps that i would not have to pay for the public adjuster fees. I provided them proof of the reps telling me that i would not have to pay the fees but they did not care. I tried calling customer support on 4 different occasions and was told i'd receive a call back within 48-72 hours and never once heard back from the company. I settled up the rest of my owed balance (aside from adjuster fees) with their accounting team, but they are insisting i must pay the public adjuster fees portion otherwise they will be placing a lien on my home next week. I've tried repeatedly to get someone on the phone to discuss this with and nobody will get in touch with me. The way this company has handled this matter is extremely unprofessional and they are essentially forcing my hand after contradicting what their own company representatives have told me. It is a shady way to do business and i would not recommend working with this company in the future. I hope someone from Evolve sees this and finally reaches out to me before they decide to place a lien on my home, it should not be this difficult to get someone on the phone.

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.

Ron was really easy…read moreto work with and did a great job explaining the whole process upfront, especially since we were new to permits and planning. 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.

I can't recommend Ben enough for any architectural needs, especially if you're navigating the…read morecomplex permit process in Malibu. From the very beginning, Ben has been incredibly professional, attentive, and proactive. What truly sets him apart, however, is his genuine heart and empathy for his clients. My mother's business had to be put on hold during this process, which was an unexpected and stressful time for our family. Ben didn't just treat us like another project; he truly understood our situation. He worked tirelessly to resubmit plans and handle corrections as fast as possible because he genuinely wanted my mom to be able to get back to work and reopen her shop. It's rare to find someone who takes your personal success so personally. Beyond his expertise, Ben's pricing is very reasonable and fair, he is not overpriced at all, which is hard to find in this area. He was also incredibly helpful and understanding by allowing us to pay in installments while the business was closed. This financial flexibility was a lifesaver for us and showed his true character as someone who wants to help, not just make a profit. If you want an architect who is highly skilled, honest, and truly cares about your family and business, Ben is the one to call. We are so grateful for everything he's done. Thank you Ben!

His knowledge of the process and persistence made a huge difference. On top of that, his pricing is very competitive, especially considering the level of service and support he provides. Overall, a 5-star experience--I would absolutely work with him again.
