We were not disappointed! Becky and her team worked to remodel the exterior of our 110-year-old home on time and within our budget, taking care of every issue from permits and paperwork to the tiniest aesthetic detail. (In fact her detailed knowledge of Denver code was invaluable with dealing with the exceptions that are needed when remodeling an older home). The final result exceeded our expectations; people tell us that they literally don't recognize our "new" home when they see it for the first time! Can't say enough about this positive remodeling experience. We would highly recommend Becky to anyone considering a remodel or new construction.

David is great.

The got us in touch with David, and he's been a pleasure to work with. He came to our home a few days later to give us a price for his service, and he had 4 sketches ready within 5 days. Then we got back to him with a modified version with all our favorite parts of his ideas about a week later, which he finished off and gave us 5 sets of prints for bidding. He's done whole home architecture, modern, arts and crafts, and traditional, and from what we saw, we really liked his versions of all of them. Also, what he charges is more than worth it. He included making 5 sets prints for bidding, and he even went to the city to pull the permit with me! He's also willing to help pick out colors and tiles. (you can call him to discuss pricing, but when I told one of the contrators the price, they thought it was a no brainer) From a cost perspective, having finished plans and then bidding them out to multiple contractors will save us over $6000! We have not decided which construction company to use yet, but being able to have multiple bids based on a set of finished plans (including electrical and demo) really does help. David is very easy to work with, and he's very open to making it look like what you want. Hiring an architect will not only save you money, but will also ensure your project comes out looking great (if the builder follows the plans). Hope this helps anybody considering updating their home, and they consider hiring David Paauw.

Sir Nicholas and I bought a very charming, very old home that we adored a few years ago. It had all…read moreof it's good "bones" like the original fireplace and hardwood floors, lovely built-ins and windows that weep a bit due to age. However, it also had some of the original stuff that we didn't love like a weird tiny kitchen and an entry hallway that dead-ended in a bathroom so that a toilet was the first thing people coming into our house saw. Well, truly it was a closed door because we have manners, but still. When we lived in it alone and then with just one little guy it was fine, but when we found out we were going to add a second Little Man N into the mix we had no idea where this kid was going to sleep. And since I wanted to remodel that ugly, tiny kitchen we decided to call an architect to help us figure it out. Luckily we called Sarah from Sexton Lawton. Lucky, because she is fantastic to work with if you are like us and want to keep the old charm of your home, but completely rework it to fit a more modern family life. We first met Sarah in the Spring of 2014 when we told her what we were thinking - these thoughts included the remodeled kitchen (that basically removed multiple walls and hallways), a brand new second floor (a pop-top if you will), the moving of our entire staircase, and a window turned into French doors that lead out to a new side porch just to name the big items. Sarah took notes of all our ideas and measurements of our current house and then a few weeks later delivered a design that was nearly exact to what we wanted. With a few tweaks here and there we had our design finished about two months later. I enjoyed working with Sarah on this portion because she was able to create a drawing of exactly what I wanted, she was helpful with suggestions when we were sure of what we wanted, and she wasn't afraid to share pros and cons with us in varying situations. Not only did Sarah help with the design though she also helped us countless times along the way of this massive, year-long project - talking with the proper permitting people at the city, making design adjustments as necessary, recommending various contractors for the duration of the project. If you live in an older home and need any kind of architecture help I highly recommend Saxton Lawton. Sarah truly understands how to keep the charm of these homes while transforming them into a better living space based on what you need and want in your home.

Megan designed the entire home including furnishings, lighting, accessories, window treatments and wall coverings for all 3 bedrooms, the living room, kitchen, lounge area and a study. I could not be happier with the results. Megan is an exceptional designer. Design is her passion and it clearly shows in her enthusiasm and expertise. She is also a gifted custom furniture designer. She designed and had fabricated 2 beautiful and functional custom wall units and a fantastic coffee table when we couldn't find any for purchase that fit the space and design. She is professional, diligent and a pleasure to work with. Megan always went the extra mile to make sure everything was done correctly the first time and within the budget we defined at the outset of the project. I strongly recommend Megan Moore of Swiss Milk Studio for all your design needs.
