We 100% recommend him!

But this place is so careless in terms of service that I wouldn't want another person trying to build an ADU to fall victim to this place. Just move on.

After being led on by other architects and wasting over a month with them, Howard replied quickly to my questions and gave me a reasonable quote. I asked if he could expedite the project as I was getting ready to deploy and in a matter of less than 10 days the plans were completed and submitted to the city for review. Howard was up front , courteous and kept me posted throughout the whole process by sending me email updates, texts, and phone call. I wish I would have found him sooner! Will definitely be using him again from my next project.

Howard "Ed" did not deliver the services we paid him for. We signed a contract and after we paid…read morethe deposit he went quiet. When it was time to deliver our first set of plans he kept making excuses. After some time and two months since our first meeting, we realized that we were not getting anything from him. We are so disappointed that we aren't getting what he promised us, but we are more disappointed that we put our trust in him. There were so many red flags that we ignored because we wanted to give him a chance. Should've listened to our gut instinct. Now, we are set back in our budget and our timeline. Look elsewhere if you are looking for an architect/designer--there are plenty of others on the mountain! We can't speak for his actual work because we never got to see it, but if you are looking for someone who is reliable he is not your guy. He turned out to be another person in the construction industry who takes advantage of innocent homeowners. We are hoping that this review will prevent others from making the same bad decision we made in choosing him. We are also hoping that Howard can make this right, but the odds are against us.

His talent truly stands out, he has an exceptional eye for design and a natural ability to bring ideas to life. What impressed me most was how personally involved he became in my project. He took the time to understand my vision, communicated clearly every step of the way, and was always kind, patient, and professional throughout the entire process. It's rare to find someone who cares about your project as much as you do, but Michael absolutely delivered that level of commitment. I would 100% work with him again and will gladly refer him to anyone looking for top-tier design support. Highly recommended!
