Micaiah is the best investment we made in remodeling our home. We found Micaiah at an open house…read moreand his design really spoke to me and my husband. We are minimalists but with nice tastes, and Micaiah designed our home to just that. My husband and I are not rich people, so he made renderings that are to be either used right away, or done at a later date to help spread our money out. He not only does the design and renderings, but he helped us find our floor guy (and we love our floors!), furniture, shades, paint, etc. He knew we are on a budget, so he worked with our budget to find things that are affordable and sustainable. Our home is still coming together as we are spreading our money out, but once it is 80% finished, I will definitely post photos. Micaiah is so easy to work with and I highly recommend him!

I hired Stephen Nieto the owner of Southwest Concepts to draft architectural plans for multiple…read moreprojects. He is without a doubt the laziest worst architect I have ever worked with in my entire life. Every correction requested by the city no matter how small took him roughly two to three months to correct. When he did make corrections he usually forgot a few corrections which only made things worse. Then there were the errors. The plans showed the existing alleyway as 20 feet wide which it wasn't. The plans showed a parking stall as 9 feet wide when it was actually closer to 8 feet wide and could not be counted as a parking spot for the project. Given we were already short on parking this was a fairly major error. But the worst part was the civil engineer noted the new wall we were building was off by 2 feet. Stephen Nieto made the changes as the engineer stated and never informed me the wall was not on the property line. I was in escrow with the building and closed escrow prior to knowing about the error and he put me in a liable situation with the new owner. When I circled back to try and resolve the matter he simply said sorry not my problem. Once he took no responsibility I started prepping my claim which I am filing with the state architectural board. Turns out Stephen Nieto isn't even a licensed architect nor is SWC. But he does have a retired architect who is collecting SS and does not officially work for the company stamping his plans. This means there is most likely no supervision happening within SWC. The other job I was working with him on. Was to step in and finalize other plans a previous designer I was working with had drafted. He was not licensed to work on Commercial plans. But his partner was. But given the plans were for a Cannabis warehouse his associate was not insured to work on Cannabis warehouses so my existing designer needed a licensed architect to stamp the plans. At the time I was not aware of it but the state architectural board actually frowns on architects stamping other designers or architects' plans. Regardless of the State Architectural Boards' opinion meant nothing to Stephen Nieto. He gladly agreed to take on the job. Didn't complete the job and still kept 5 k of my money. Yes, he is a real piece of work. I strongly suggest you do not work with this company.

Hi Jeffrey and Son,…read more I am so sorry to call you on Christmas Day. I was going to call you first thing in the morning and I just found out From my husband ....this minute at 10:30 pm..... Christmas Day.... The commercial Precor movers from LA are coming to our house at around 10:30 am tomorrow. Possibly a little later......i do not know for sure. I asked my Husband to call them when he wakes up to ask for a more accurate arrival time. My husband thinks he can arrange the pieces himself. He has zero space planning skills. . The machines are very heavy and need great care moving them from our living room back down a hallway to be placed in my guest room .... from their Covid home taking up my living room! Ugh! finally!!!!!! I am so sorry I did not give you more notice but, he has been planning this all on his own and just advised me tonight that they are coming tomorrow. I will pay you triple whatever your consulting fee if you or anyone in your company would be able to come over earlier and give me a feel for where you think each piece of equipment should go. The room is completely empty! my husband already has the mats on the floor, but, he is not a designer at all. I desperately need someone to just give me their professional opinion. I don't want to make stakeout heavy exercise equipment. I would feel very comfortable if there's any way your son or you or even any designer you know could come over anywhere from 9:30 am to 10:30 AM tomorrow and just take a quick look at the room as well as the Commercial Precor equipment. It is extremely heavy to move and needs the professional crew from LA to safely move it down the hall and into the back bedroom . There isn't too much: 1 commercial Precor treadmill, 1 Precor adaptive motion trainer(step machine). 1 Commercial bicycle and one commercial size ----- low to the ground water rower. 1 normal size flat / reclining weight lifting bench. Free weights can be stored empty clothes closet. The back room of the Bougainvilla one plan in Indian Ridge country club was designed to be a guest bedroom. It has an attached bath. It is 12 Ft by13 ft. Call The larger closet can accommodate free weights and many other fitness accessories. What pieces should go where.? Machelle DeSilva. 760610 3610 . Thank you for helping me if you or your son feel you may quickly help me.. i don't want to make a mistake as the professional Precor pieces are very heavy. . I am so sorry I didn't call you earlier. My husband seems to think he knows what should go where. In design even with just a few piece of furniture it can make her break the aesthetics and design of the room. I just want to know that I hired someone who knows about space planning and design. Of coursejeffrey Juasky recommends you and you talked about your son as well. Even if just your son could come over or any other designer that may work for you it should be a pretty easy job. In spite of the short notice, I will have to remain very blessed and delighted if one of you could come over or even another designer that you think might have a spare half an hour to take a quick look. I did not call Jeffrey Joravsky as I know last time we spoke he was exceptionally busy with his project up in Colorado. I just don't want make a mistake of moving this heavy equipment into a room and have it look hodgepodge. We may not have many options due to the small space, but at least I will feel at peace, knowing the designer looked at it and reassured that the placement would be best of the furniture From a design perspective. Please call me rather than text. I will keep my phone close with the Volume on high.. please call me one way or another if your son can come over for this quick job. I can also share with the other projects on my list to get your ideas and proceed with them soon. Please call me in the morning if possible Machelle at indian Ridge Country Club 760 610 3610 As you probably remember, jeffreyjurasky recommended you for my future projects. He also recommended Troy Zimmerman. I am desperate as I don't want to place the equipment without a professional Designer as the fitness equipment is so heavy to move. I am optimistic that I may see you, your son or another talented person tomorrow mornin. Please call me one way or another. I can also how you my other project that I. Need your help with. Kindest Regards Machelle Indian Ridge Country Club

My husband, Jim, and I are wrapping up a very large project in La Quinta. As with many projects,…read moreour original plan was minor additions and renovations, and it snowballed into a full home overhaul, with additions, ceiling raises, a new kitchen and laundry, six and a half new bathrooms and a full courtyard gut and rebuild with waterfalls, hardscape, and landscape. We had already chosen Hanson Remodels as our builder, since Anders had done our complicated backyard landscape/drainage renovation three years prior. HIs abilities were proven to us in a smaller format then - we liked his honest and professional demeanor coupled with a mind for problem solving, design and value/add. He had initially been recommended to us by our landscape designer, Chris Hermann. Fast forward to completing our home overhaul: Anders once again proved to us he had all the qualities we were expecting and more. Our home had many complications to address that were unforeseen due to its original age, and we changed scope mid-project once my husband and I identified the improvements that were possible. Along with his very talented framer, Ed, and team, Anders was able to help create and design solutions that extended way beyond our expectations. Anders has a great design eye that proved remarkably helpful. We also credit our architects, Steve Nieto, and Chris Hermann, and several interior designers: Nancy Bishop, Betsy Dailey, Leslie Minervini, and Ali Willingham, that worked with us at various times, and Anders served as our team captain beautifully across the spectrum. Anders' communication abilities are spot on and timely, with the charming twist of his Norwegian accent. Even while grinding long days in the unbearable desert summer heat, Anders maintained his professionalism, sense of humor and was a true pleasure to work with. He truly cared that we were getting what we wanted and we are incredibly grateful that the end result is our dream home. Jim and I would recommend Hanson Remodels for any and all projects, large or small.

I sent a backyard project RFP to Hanson Remodels. Got a response from Anders pretty fast, asking…read moresome questions. I responded and found out that they are also a general contractor. Since we are also doing a kitchen and two bathrooms remodel, I sent him over the RFP for the entire project, letting him know that I realized they could do it all. The next day he responded asking who referred us and then I got on the phone with him because shortly after, he emailed to say it wasn't a good fit. I wanted to understand why and he let me know he didn't work for free (odd thing to say). I informed him I didn't expect him to work for free. He basically didn't want to spend up to two hours to answer 5 Questions on the RFP and visit the site. He mentioned at least 3 times in the conversation that he didn't want to come across arrogant (which made him even more so) but he doesn't advertise and only had clients by word of mouth (not sure what they had to do with our convo). Anyway, ended up finishing the conversation and walked away from interaction with him feeling very annoyed that he chose to do business in this fashion. Needless to say, not a great communicator, and since that is a big part of what I expect in a contractor, won't be recommending him to anyone. I think had he not been so arrogant, asked appropriate questions, sought to better understand the scope of the project. and put in an hour to do so, he and his company may have been given a $200,000 contract to perform the work for us. However, his dismissive attitude, horrible demeanor, and absolute unwillingness to put in a bit of time lost his company a potential loyal customer.

I got a response back the next day from Micaylee Burnside, Project Coordinator, asking for the address so she could schedule a time for a visit. I responded that same day. Three days later, sent a follow-up to set up the site visit, no response. Called and left a message two days later, no response. Called again, one week later, she picked up, when I said who I was, she hung up. I gave her the benefit of the doubt and assumed we were disconnected and tried to call back several times, but kept getting voicemail. I did leave a voicemail and since then I've heard nothing back. If this is how they do business, then I'm certainly glad that this didn't work out because communication is so critical when doing these kind of projects and clearly that's not something they're strong in. So unfortunately we will not be using them nor recommending them to anybody in the future. Their poor communication and general lack of basic customer service does not instill confidence in completing projects that homeowners typically shell out more than $100k of their hard earned money!
