We were not disappointed! Becky and her team worked to remodel the exterior of our 110-year-old home on time and within our budget, taking care of every issue from permits and paperwork to the tiniest aesthetic detail. (In fact her detailed knowledge of Denver code was invaluable with dealing with the exceptions that are needed when remodeling an older home). The final result exceeded our expectations; people tell us that they literally don't recognize our "new" home when they see it for the first time! Can't say enough about this positive remodeling experience. We would highly recommend Becky to anyone considering a remodel or new construction.

Julie's design is beautiful! When we ran into problems with structures that we could not be removed or found things we weren't expecting, Julie made adjustments to her designs and made a potentially stressful situation easy to manage. The end result is a beautiful home that we are proud of and very happy with. One of our favorite features is a light tower that Julie designed. We had a post with wires and pipes that we couldn't remove. Julie designed a light tower that is a work of art! Julie is great to work with, I would work with Julie again and highly recommend her to anybody! Thank you for a job well done!!

I cannot recommend Parallel Design Group or Julie Brodsky. We hired her for a Poptop project after…read moreBlue Sky's Remodeling Recommendation. We provided a $5500 deposit (50% down) and lost faith her her ability to execute on our project after our first meeting. We made it very clear we didn't want an addition on the main floor because we didn't want to loose our yard or any of the elements in our backyard we loved, we requested some drawings with rooftops, we did not want to refinish a our already finished basement. All of these requests were ignored and we ended up wasting 2 hours going over plans that did not meet our requirements. Additionally, several of the plans had a main floor bumpout that would have required the basement windows be framed in and natural light be lost, however this wasn't disclosed until a couple weeks later when we inquired. She had us spend all this time pick an upstairs & mainfloor we liked only to spring on us that would require us moving the stairs and a complete remodel of the basement hence putting us over budget. We were interested in building over our sunroom to get more live-able space on the second level, but Julie could figure out the zoning to see if this was allowed, even our contractor thought it was odd she could figure that out. W In the end she just put a balcony over it and called it good. Just like she couldn't figure out a rooftop deck so she didn't bring a design. In the end we could not get a floorplan that we excited or even content with building and we ended the project and requested a refund since we have no designs to use an inaccurate schematic (that we did sign off on, but later brought to her attention was incorrect). She insisted the project was almost complete. Not sure how the project is complete with no floorplan, hence no elevation & an incorrect schematic. Long story short she had an attorney serve us with a papers. Please learn from our mistake and do not do busy with this litigious architect that lacks attention to detail, does not listen, lacks creativity. I have confirmed this is not an isolated incident with other neighbors saying they had a similar experience. (e did bring out dissatisfaction in Julie's skills to the Design Build group Blue Sky Remodeling that recommended her and they were no help in resolving the project going sideways fast.) In the end we have an incorrect schematic & a headache. We signed a terrible contract and she was able to screw us out of another $1700, because if we fought her on it we'd have to pay for her attorney. I feel like a complete idiot for hiring this incompetent architect & signing her contract which pretty much allows her to rip off consumers. Do yourself a favor and hire someone else. After getting ripped off by Julie I reached out to Nextdoor Neighbors and Highlands Mommies to see if anyone else had fell victim and we found out we were not alone,

I initially had a great experience with Jaime Langer and genuinely believe she has strong design…read moreskills. However, my overall experience with her ended in deep disappointment and frustration. If you choose to work with her, do not let her refer you to Hummingbird HRD (Crystal and Brian Mansanares), as that is where everything unraveled. Jaime first helped me after a Christmas morning plumbing disaster, and at the outset, she was fantastic--quick to respond, knowledgeable, and actively engaged in creating thoughtful layouts. Because things seemed to be going well, we also hired her for additional design work in our kitchen and living room. But when she referred us to Hummingbird as the general contractor, she stepped away entirely, leaving us in the hands of an inexperienced team that led to an overpriced, incomplete, and poorly executed renovation. Where Things Went Wrong Jaime and Crystal turned out to be personal friends rather than longtime collaborators, and our home was essentially a "guinea pig project"--a fact Jaime admitted only after things had gone terribly wrong. The staggering lack of professionalism from Hummingbird resulted in months of stress, wasted money, and a home that remains unfinished to this day. After Crystal declared the project "done" (despite glaringly poor workmanship), I asked Jaime to see the state of things herself. She agreed with me that the quality was unacceptable and even apologized for how badly things had turned out. She admitted that Crystal lacked the necessary experience and recognized that we had been unintentionally used as a test project. To make matters worse, she also told me, "Wow, I didn't realize you were so detail-oriented--I would feel exactly the same." As if they thought they could get away with subpar work and I wouldn't notice--truly insulting. Jaime's Final Disappointing Choice To her credit, Jaime convinced Crystal and Brian to attempt to fix their mess, but she ultimately abandoned the project. Despite personally acknowledging all the flaws, she later sent me a completely contradictory statement: "I have every faith in Hummingbird completing the project as promised, and overall, I believe they have done an exceptional job." This project was supposed to take 4-6 weeks starting in March--it was still dragging on in November, at which point I cut ties entirely because it was no longer worth the emotional toll. To this day, our home remains unfinished and cheap-looking, a painful reminder of the stress and financial loss we endured. What We Actually Got for Jaime's Fees After paying her design fees for both the bathroom and kitchen/living room, all we truly received was: * Layout options * A recommendation for Hummingbird (which proved disastrous) * Help selecting a kitchen table and rug Had we gone with a different general contractor, I might be writing a glowing five-star review. Unfortunately, given how this played out, I cannot recommend Jaime Langer at all.

Gina was very helpful and patient as we thought through our options and we appreciated the line by line estimates for both materials and labor, which helped us to prioritize what we wanted done and stay within our budget. The project timeline was 8-12 weeks, and we were very close to that 12 week mark. They order all the materials ahead of time, so there aren't holdups waiting on some small item to arrive. We did move out during construction and the only communication was via a group text thread, which was frustrating at times. We had to ask certain questions multiple times and there was some miscommunication throughout. In the end, the results were amazing. Our kitchen and bathroom both look great, and we are very happy with the results! We have had to reach out about a few small fixes, and most of those things have already been sorted out. We definitely recommend working with CHD!

Then we got back to him with a modified version with all our favorite parts of his ideas about a week later, which he finished off and gave us 5 sets of prints for bidding. He's done whole home architecture, modern, arts and crafts, and traditional, and from what we saw, we really liked his versions of all of them. Also, what he charges is more than worth it. He included making 5 sets prints for bidding, and he even went to the city to pull the permit with me! He's also willing to help pick out colors and tiles. (you can call him to discuss pricing, but when I told one of the contrators the price, they thought it was a no brainer) From a cost perspective, having finished plans and then bidding them out to multiple contractors will save us over $6000! We have not decided which construction company to use yet, but being able to have multiple bids based on a set of finished plans (including electrical and demo) really does help. David is very easy to work with, and he's very open to making it look like what you want. Hiring an architect will not only save you money, but will also ensure your project comes out looking great (if the builder follows the plans). Hope this helps anybody considering updating their home, and they consider hiring David Paauw.
