Broadhurst Architects are the most creative, patient, good-natured team of professionals I have…read moreever worked with. We interviewed three other architects before choosing Broadhurst Architects to design a new 750 sq. foot addition replacing a smaller, inefficient addition for our 1925 built home. The project also included the remodeling of the existing kitchen, a new back porch and interior door and molding upgrades to the original house. I am sure we weren't the easiest customers to work with. Jeff Broadhurst and his team had a huge challenge. I had dreams of large, dedicated spaces built within a tiny footprint. After listening to our quirky idiosyncrasies and complicated list of must haves, Jeff presented many creative options at different price points. Once we reached design Eureka, we sent it out to bid. We chose a contractor Broadhurst had never worked with that I had brought to the table. The contractor seemed agreeable and capable but after construction began it became obvious he had made only a cursory review of the scope of work prior to submitting the winning bid. Jeff and Hisao's professionalism extended to managing a difficult construction process with our disengaged contractor and his lackadaisical crew. We would never have made it through the process without their guidance and their many interventions. Now that construction is over, the end results far exceed our expectations. We have beautiful spaces that are much larger than I could ever have imagined. The attention to detail Broadhurst put into the molding and finishing choices shine through. We couldn't be happier and love sitting in our new spaces admiring the design and function. Everyone who enters our home immediately experience the "Wow Factor". We would use Broadhurst Architects again in a heartbeat and would be happy to recommend him to anyone in need of a patient, proficient, kind and extremely talented architectural team.

He invested a lot of time in the beginning to really understand the goals of the project.

Their demolition, repairs, and cleanup were all done with great care and professionalism. They knocked down our closet, created a beautiful archway between the hallway of kitchen/dining room, and are now working on leveling the floors. Every team has their pros and cons, but what stands out is their honest communication, strong work ethic, and dedication to doing the job right. They are always willing to listen to feedback and improve, and we really appreciate that. We highly recommend him and his team for any home renovation work.

He flew in a young architect from Colorado (!) to document the house, but they were both distracted by a disaster on another job (frantically redesigning at the last minute) and the drawings of my house were a mess - a door where there wasn't one, pipes and radiators missing, measurements wrong. They brought in a 'structural engineer' who jumped up and down on one part of the concrete floor like a toddler on a trampoline, pronounced it sound, and added, grinning, "I went to school for 10 years to learn how to do this." Maybe he should have studied longer, since it turned out that the floor was cracked through, and only one inch thick in parts (and underneath it was a sewer pipe that could have passed for a colander). Helicon also gave wrong information about the DC code and regulations. As for Helicon's proposed drawings for the renovation, just for one example, we would have had to walk around a bed to get out the back door. When I began to raise questions about the work, he simply refused to answer my emails and refused to go to mediation - although that's what his contract calls for in case of a dispute. When we finally parted ways, he kept all of his hefty fees and retainer, and didn't even return the books and magazines I had lent him as examples. Now, I'm glad to say, I've got a sound, beautiful renovation underway, and a great architect - who just can't believe the drawings from Helicon.
