    Bricks and Batten $900 exterior makeover
    Jihan G.

    I spent years following Brick and Batten's Instagram page and saving up for my digital exterior design before I finally took the dive and had them design my home. I knew this was a risk from the onset bc, well, first of all it cost like $1000 (steep for the average American), and they do not offer refunds and allow for only one design change after they provide the initial design. Now, I should say, I am a graphic designer my self and spent a lot of time playing with the exterior of my home before finally surrendering to the notion that they possessed a skill set that I did not. I just had to know if they could come up with something better than I could. I knew, from having looked at hundreds of their before and after designs, that there was a good chance that I might be disappointed in my design and a good chance I might have my socks blow off by their design. Some of their before and after home designs are amazing where the house is unrecognizable from what it was before, and others are fairly underwhelming. As an artist myself, it's clear to me that much of what determines weather or not a house goes from a 3 to a 10 is the bones of the house to begin with and the limitations set by the client. I gave them a painfully long explanation of my ideas, communicating that I live near a metro area so there is a lot of room for artistic freedom. I knew that, ultimately, I was rolling the dice with this purchase. Either they would come back with something amazing that I could never have thought of, or they would confirm my theory that, with the home that I have, I could just make a few basic changes to update the look of my home. Well, I was pretty disappointed when the design that they returned with was almost exactly what I had come up with on my own despite the fact that I had never showed them or told this this design idea. They did, however, come up with some solutions for the front steps (extending the length of each step to make the entry more grand). I was pretty upset at first but now I realize that the design that they came up with was the best version of my home. I must also add that they were excellent communicators and were kind enough to make some small edits and give advice when I decided not to keep the front porch a few months later. All in all, I would recommend this company if you are considering updating your home. But if you just want to make small updates like change the roof or the paint color I would suggest paying a graphic designer on Fiverr. Brick and batten is really a dice roll if you have the kind of house that they can do amazing things with then it's worth every penny. But if you have the kind of house that they can only make minor changes to then it's really not worth it. The problem is, you won't know until after you've already paid but then, if nothing else, you'll have the peace of mind of knowing what the best version of Your house is rather than wondering. Best of luck to you!

    Rendering

    While I really like the before and after they post on social media, my design came back looking like a college design project. Some elements were good, but there was so much going on and so many different trends it failed to create a cohesive design and would look dated before the remodel is even complete. You are allowed to adjust one item for free, which I did the fences had window cut outs as well and here is the design. Didn't seem worth the extra money to get this to a useable place.

    Brick & Batten is the best!  Seriously, money well spent working with them!  I read the reviews here and I respectfully disagree. I am glad that I used Brick & Batten. I cannot believe how beautiful the design is that they created for me. They were attentive to all the details and requests that I gave them. I am so grateful for gifted people like their team who can put my dream into something useable and workable. I now have a fantastic visual to be able to move forward in creating my dream home. I would WHOLE-HEARTEDLY recommend this company.

    "Rendering"

    We engaged with Brick & Batten to provide some inspiration to update the exterior of our home. They incorporated our inspirational sample photos of other homes, and our "wish list" of changes. The Brick & Batten renderings are better than we could have imagined! We followed most of their design recommendations and our house now looks beautiful. See the attached photos as proof!

    2 different color options from brick&bratton, totally transformed the look!

    My husband and I were absolutely thrilled with the designs we got from brick&batten! We recently invested in a very unattractive office building and we were finding it very challenging to figure out how to make it appealing. In scouring the internet for ideas, we stumbled upon the brick&batten website and after going through their before & after photos we agreed it would be worth the money to see what ideas they could suggest. It was super easy to upload the photo of our building and give a description of what our goals were. Within 2 weeks we got our design back and we were floored! The ideas and colors they came up with completely transformed the look of the building and best of all, everything seemed very feasible to do. We honestly would have never thought of such simple modifications and we can't wait to start renovating. I highly recommend brick&batten to anyone looking for ideas and inspiration for their next project!

    See all

We bought a little bitty house that we were originally planning to rent out. Life happened, so it became home. You previously walked in the front door to face a big wall, we had our washer/dryer crammed into our tiny little kitchen, and upstairs was basically just a hallway with a weirdly shaped little office space. Honestly, we didn't think it was going to be possible to make this house meet our needs - but we were so unhappy with our space that we wanted an architect to tell us what was actually possible. Caroline listened carefully to all our personal preferences and requests, and after coming out to tour and measure, she somehow came up with multiple options that fit all of our requests into our small space without changing the footprint of the house! I'm a pretty creative and design focused person, and I am still blown away with her talent. After going through all the incredible options she provided, she took our comments on each option to personalize the plans even further to make our house into a home that no longer even feels small. It takes an incredibly talented person to fit a large kitchen, 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, an office, 6 full closets, and a laundry space COMFORTABLY into 1400 sqft. I cannot recommend her enough!!! We are still getting settled back into our house, but I will add photos later. Hire Caroline!!

In working with re:FORM we found an essential partner - their experience with historic home renovation and expertise working with the Georgia State Historic Preservation Division to ensure we received historic tax credits was invaluable. Collaborating with us from re:FORM was owner and award-winning architect Stacie Monroe, who beautifully coordinated our design and build ensuring that the result exceeded Earthcraft standards. Stacie handled the exterior architecture and her partner Erin Christman worked with us on the successful incorporation of modern touches inside the home. With re:FORM's help we were able to include important eco-friendly improvements like icynene whole-house insulation, solar panels for generating hot water, and state-of-the-art water harvesting and grey water systems without sacrificing any of our home's character defining features.

She keeps a tight eye on cost and her deep knowledge of the business, what it takes to build as well as practical things like livability and energy savings have given us a better result through a remarkably smooth process. You expect architects to know designs and plans, and she knows those well, but where Stacie stands out and the real joy in working with her is her personality. She is a blast to work with and has an amazing ability to artfully use her knowledge and experience to listen, bring to life and then evolve projects into plans and construction that make every side of your brain happy. We would enthusiastically recommend Stacie to anyone who is considering any type of rebuild, remodel or new home construction.

The only thing that we absolutely knew before we began the process was that we wanted something modern and "green". An architect friend of mine suggested that we contact TaC Studios. We had never worked with an architect before so we had no idea what to expect. From our first meeting we knew that we had made the right decision. Cara and Jose provided us with practical but gentle guidance throughout the whole process. They took our wish list and turned it into a house that continues to exceed our expectations. At every step they made us think about that way we live our lives and how our house could be designed to make our lives easier. They asked us to picture ourselves in the space and imagine what it would be like to actually live in it. The result is a home that is not only beautiful but practical. "Practical" is not a particularly sexy word in the world of architecture but when it comes to home design it is essential to creating a space that meets the everyday needs that everyone takes for granted. From the amount of natural light that illuminates the space to the location of the dishwasher in relation to the cabinets, Cara and Jose thought of everything. We could not be happier with the results. The process did have its aggravating moments but Cara and Jose were there with us throughout the process. We absolutely could not have gotten through it without them. I actually think they should add "construction therapy" to their resume! I can recommend them to anyone building a house from the ground up without reservation.

The contractors worked from those plans and I have only the highest praise for them, too. Jeffrey's plans combined three rooms into one large space and included replacing the cellar stairs (where I had to duck my head going down) with a circular stair case that is just perfect. The final result was far removed from my initial discussion with Jeffrey but his design was so perfect that I quickly deferred to him on virtually everything he wanted to do. He included a large island in the kitchen which I had not envisioned and behind it he added a three-pane glass sliding door that lets a ton of light into the room and that I use all the time to get to my deck. He also designed a garden window that projects outward by about eighteen inches and is full of plants. I first learned of Jeffrey because he designed the kitchen of my next-door-but-one neighbor. I loved it and I love mine even more. I'm so happy with the result. The work also included a new floor in the attic space and opened up the den to the new kitchen.
