Payam Bahrami PHD of architecture
"The House Doctor", saved our lives!
We (husband and I) had a horrible experience with another "contractor", that "contractor"destroyed our home and took our money.
It was nothing but a shell with a ton of work to be done.
I was so disenchanted with the whole process after I fired the first "contractor".
In my despair, I decided to look on Yelp.
I could not find anything that told me about Optim Design LLC but I decided to leave a message anyway.
Payam called me back not once but three times!
He was not sure Yelp had provided the correct information.
He comes to my home very jolly and genuine.
We go see the house and then discuss the business. He was willing to take on a complete gut rehab where he had to go backwards and fix stuff the other guy did not do correctly.
We negotiated Payam and I.
He worked with me in a time frame that was comfortable for my family. He accommodated my thoughts and designs, answered all my questions and did not try to tell me what to do or gaslight me. Always listened and if there was room he made suggestions.
A lot of time women have difficulty with male contractors, we know that females everywhere!
Not Payam!
He looked at me as a design equal (I am a color theorist, a designer in my own right) we did the house together.
Payam had a core crew of 3 guys some days 5 (sometimes I would sneak up on them and they were always working) that worked Sun up to Sundown. All the guys, Johnathan, Betto and Octavio (forgive me, I forget the other 2 names) are disciplined, trustworthy, kept their heads down and worked!
Love that..
A person in charge, running his business instead of his business running him.
Payam was always available to me in a matter of minutes. He texts you back the fastest I have ever seen!
Answers the phone if you call him, imagine that? Someone answers the phone still.
Fantastic!
Payam installed new everything!
Doors, windows, rewired entire house, brand new gas and water pipes.
Built an additional full bathroom in the basement and assisted me with designing a Master Bathroom of my dreams.
Never mind how the kitchen is FABULOUSLY MAGNIFICENT!!
Custom built cabinets, quartz countertops.
The house is gorgeous!!
I will say this..
Dr Payam is not cheap..
That is okay with me!
In the long run
what was most important is how fair, more than fair, More than fair Payam is with his honesty in pricing.
All you can do is ask someone to do a good job and treat you and your hard earned money with respect.
Payam could have charged me more money and taken longer, done stupid "contractor" tactics.
No not Payam Bahrami PHD
He is a good stand up man, aren't many of those floating around now a days.
Icing on the cake ?
ALL of his work, anything his company does work on in your home or commercial property comes with a one year peace of mind guarantee!
What?!
That's unheard of unless, you are certain you are good at what you do!
Here we are, done 6 weeks later .
You get what you pay for and we won!!
We won!!
Thank you My house Doctor.
I cannot wait for our next project together!
