Can't get ahold of him to get updated plans to builder, which is HIS responsibility. And also disregarded requests by my in-laws... 5 sets of drawing total for this build and they are still wrong. they paid money for every updated set of plans even though HE forgot what they had requested. (requested and not in drawings, pantry for kitchen, shower for mud room, sink in laundry room, 36" wide doorways..which drastically changes a lot of the plans.. from bathroom vanities to losing linen closets and bathtubs. They specifically asked for this, my in-laws are getting older they want this ranch they are building to be wheelchair accessible and the plans are still incorrect!! The builders are working from incorrect design drawings at this point. It's not their responsibility to make accommodations on plans that should be as the customer requested This man got paid so I guess he doesn't care about doing his job correctly and giving them updated drawings! STAY AWAY FROM THIS ARCHITECT he will take your money and drive you crazy!!

The team does high quality work, leaves the area impeccably clean and in my opinion the extremely efficiently from the day the first shovel hit the ground.

My husband and I hired Nate Kipnis and his firm after interviewing several architects about the…read moredesign of our vacation property. Our wish was to build a second home with green features, and the Kipnis firm was without question up to the task. He educated us about the options for building materials, helped us select a contractor, then worked closely with the contractor to make sure he understood all of the innovative design features. Other members of his staff were equally professional. Nate was highly knowledgable, yet he listened to our input and designed a home that remains today a huge source of pride for our family. He was a pleasure to work with every step of the way!

We hired him to…read morepower wash and stain a deck and porch and not only did he and his "stepson" do a terrible job, Jeff suddenly became impossible to get hold of. We were left with a mess. There was stain all over the screens and puddles of stain that took months to dry. Worst of all, he had damaged the wood floor of our cedar porch with the pressure washer. The grain opened up and was never the same. We spent a lot ofmoney and we wanted a portion of it back, but we couldn't find him. So we hired another company to repair the damage, at great cost to us. Jeff Fank is the kind of contractor who gives other contractors a reallybad name. BUYER BEWARE!!!
