WARNING - we gave John Skoglund a $750.00 deposit for the initial design drawings for our upcoming home remodel. He immediately deposited our check and then we never heard from him again. We actually had to file a police report. This is a warning to all those looking to hire Update - people are actually asking about John and even contemplating using his services. All I can tell you folks is my experience and my advice - do not ever use him or give him any money. I had to get the police involved and it took several months to get my money back. If you want a reputable designer, I have one and can put you in touch with them. They do full scan, design, 3D modeling etc. They are a legit actual company... read more

Had major issues with John. Contracted with him to do a house addition and was friendly at first. After going through 3 revisions, he was pressuring to wrap it up. All the drawings were hand drawn and not digital in any way so it took time to go through any changes. About 4 months after contracting he finished up the job and went through his recommended structural engineer to finalize. All went well until my builder started. It seems John didn't capture much of the existing house structure which would have been easy to notice if he checked the attic space for floor joist size and truss locations. The builder had to modify the ceiling heights to meet code which impacted the schedule. They also had to completely modify the intended layout for laundry room due to trusses that couldn't be modified. John called my builder incompetent and threw a fit. Now we need John to sign off on drawings and no one can get ahold of him. So the build is on hold due to his delays. I'm seeking out other architects to replace and sign off on the changes. Don't use him! He is not BBB accredited and profile says no longer in business. read more

We hired John to fix a disaster caused by the first architect we hired. He has been extremely attentive and has created a fantastic design. He is amazingly creative and super cooperative to work with - we feel so fortunate to have had him referred to us! John is in high demand because he is such a great designer - multiple Street of Dreams participant and winner - you are lucky to have him if you want original, functioning designs. read more

John came highly recommended from another arch firm that was too busy to take on our project. he called after seeing my email to set an appointment which given how insanely busy construction is right now, seemed really quick! I could tell from talking to him on the phone, he seemed genuinely interested in our addition. He came out for the appointment, explained the process and was very up front and transparent about the fact that he does all of his work by hand. We got the preliminary drawing quickly which reflected what we talked about at the meeting. We discussed a few modifications to so he redrew it per our requests. He has complete passion for his work and offers ideas and vision from his extensive experience. we Even discovered one of my husband's co-workers had just used him on their remodel and they highly Recommended him also! i would refer John to anyone looking for an architect for a remodel, addition or home design based on our experience! 2 thumbs up here!! read more
