This experience has proven to be an asset in establishing a great relationship and getting to know their process. They bring great ideas to the table and an open mind to both builder and client. LeMaster's work is completed in a timely manner, all while thoughtfully specifying appropriate materials and finishes whether they are economical and efficient or lavishly unique, period correct or contemporary. They skillfully listen to the client's needs, wants, and desires to provide them a beautiful home that is comfortable and functional all while working within varying budget constraints. They are responsive and easy to work with. I recommend LeMaster to all those seeking, well designed spaces that incorporate the client's ideas, values, and dreams into a home designed specifically for them. I look forward to working with LeMaster Architects on many more projects in the future. Brian Newkirk, Built By Newkirk, LTD.

Why we highly recommend Cameron Crockett and his team at Ultra-Unit Architectural Studio;…read more First, building a Restaurant from scratch touches every possible department of a City and County possible. Plan checking for Zoning, Electrical, Plumbing, Building, on site Inspectors, Police, Fire, SCE, Gas Company, Department of Alcohol, Health regulations and laws that "can and do" differ. That alone made his team's job difficult and time consuming. Proof is in the pudding for us. (Restaurant lingo..) Drive by The Red Leprechaun at 4000 East Anaheim and you will see the first successful part of his design and outcome for a Irish Pub and Restaurant that originally was a gutted Blockbuster. You can also Google "The Red Leprechaun + Press Telegram" to see their front-page article about the trials and collaboration with the City on this project. Cameron's ideas and suggestion in the City meetings was key to streamline and move his project to the opening goal dates. We started in February 2012 and opened July 2012 with every obstacle possible! I have respect and trust for Cameron Crockett and this is a very important statement in a recommendation. He was always forthright and reliable during every aspect of this project The building before the Restaurant was 2670 square feet of a gutted space. We built a Full Kitchen, Restaurant/ Bar Front, Two ADA bathrooms and placement of a 1901 Brunswick Bar. Cameron designed a clever ADA community style table to help avoid the City of Long Beach (also Federal) requirement to cut the bar to add ADA seating. The table is thoughtful to assure anyone with a disability would feel comfortable and not spotlighted in the same environment as the bar. The Project Architect, Berenice Morales was assigned to us from creation to our opening Certificate of Occupancy. She was key to making drawing change requirement from the City weekly. Although we had a relationship with the City, there was a of "contradiction" from the Department of Zoning, to Electrical, Health, Plumbing, etc. We hired a separate contractor for this project and Cameron and Berenice's advise was invaluable with the multiple issues that came from this decision. They were key to giving and assisting by offering "true project management". We have additional phases to add to our business, a patio, open windows or shutter are a few to mention and Cameron has already been active in creative ideas when we are ready. We will also go back and add a review for Castillo Engineering who also worked with Ultra when the City required a Structural Engineer when we added windows on Termino Ave. Last, our website "redleprechaun.com" has pictures of the building before and during construction. I am almost always at The Red Leprechaun if you would like to call or come tour and see Cameron's Team's "End Results" for us. Tracy Ames-Owner of The Red Leprechaun

My review is on the communication with Ultra-Unit and not with their work…read more We started communicating with Cameron in Jan and were clear about wanted to start work on our home in May. He came out to our house in March to talk to us about the work we wanted to get done. He has very nice and friendly. After giving it a wk we reached out about the estimate, but never got any response. Its been a month and no response. Perhaps we looked too young to be home owners? Perhaps he thought we weren't serious?! I'm not sure, but he never got back to us. If its a project that his company might not be interested that totally fine, but I would much rather be told that. Whatever the case was, it was extremely unfortunate as we were really looking forward to getting work done on our home.

This was my first home remodel, and I did not know what to expect or how the process worked. I had heard horror stories of people taking money for plans and never hearing from them again. He was very easy to work with, from explaining the process to what to expect during the permit process. He answered all my questions, and I could see he knew his job. I was on a budget and needed to do some of the work myself. He always returned my calls and walked me through any issues. He showed patience for a first-time DIYer. He provided such good service, I went back to him for my second project, a detached ADU. I recently started and have contacted him multiple times with questions. He has been in business for 33 years as a builder and preparing plans. He brings all that experience to his job. I would recommend him to anyone. His prices are competitive, and he is good at his job.

I was introduced to Daniel at Affinity Design Group through my general contractor and designer…read more Daniel prepared the architectural and structural plans and calculations for a room addition project at my home, which included expanding a second-floor bedroom and office space and enclosing an exterior courtyard to create a new foyer. Daniel was very easy to work with throughout the entire process. He was responsive, professional, knowledgeable, and kept the project moving efficiently. The City had only very minor corrections to his plans, and Daniel addressed all of them in less than a week. His pricing was fair, but what really stood out was the quality of his work and his responsiveness. I am extremely happy with the final outcome and would highly recommend Daniel and Affinity Design Group to anyone looking for professional architectural or structural design services.

He even stated he'd prefer to see videos/photos before scheduling an in person consultation to see if it was even necessary. I will definitely be seeking his services when time comes for construction. 10/10 initial impression and will definitely hire for services as needed.

We worked directly with the very talented and creative duo Jeff Jeannette and Stefanie Haering. They helped us discover all of the potential our home had to give and provided many options to create space and functionality that we had not considered. From start to finish, Jeannette Architects listened to us and provided suggestions and plans that reflected our best hopes and needs. I always felt informed and respected. Our project moved forward throughly and quickly, especially considering the technical work that was required to rebuild every aspect of my home. My husband and I are so grateful that Stefanie and Jeff helped us throughout the entire project and even all through construction. I felt supported, I could always ask questions and get accurate, timely answers on even the smallest details. Jeannette would routinely check in on us as the work progressed and celebrated with us on the day we got to move back in. Jeannette Architects designed a beautiful home organized for utility. They created a new floor plan that flows elegantly, is functional and spacious for the homeowners with a sophistication that welcomes friends and family. They were extremely creative with a window plan that maximized the outdoor and indoor symmetry and welcomed natural light throughout my home. Stefanie was an absolute genius in how she found room in my floor plan to expand the primary bath. She added features like a wet room, which allows me to live like a spa queen. I have already recommended them to friends and family. Because of Jeannette Architects, our home is reborn for longevity, enjoyment and to preserve as a family asset.

We had an absolutely fabulous experience with Andrew Nuñez as our architect! My backyard remodeling…read moreproject has been quite the task over the last few years, and installing a prefab gazebo was the final element of my masterpiece. We were forced by the city to hire an architect, and Andrew was able to meet with us one day after I phoned him. He was prompt, thorough, and extremely adept with getting our project through, from going back and forth with ridiculous city planners, to getting structural engineers on site, to drawing up plans. He also referred a wonderful contractor to build the structure for us-- they were prompt, professional, attentive, polite, and extremely talented. They were able to install permanent concrete support footing blocks to ensure maximum stability of the structure, and they put the whole thing together in a matter of several days. Andrew answered any questions that I had, and the contractors we hired via his referral made sure that the area was neat and tidy after they finished the job. Highly, highly recommended!
