We're almost done with our project, but I couldn't wait and felt compelled to write this review…read morenow. We can barely contain the joy we feel when we go into our new music retreat and think about just how HartmanBaldwin made in all come together. This is our last house, and if I had tried to manage this myself the end result would have paled in comparison to what they helped us to create. Everyone who goes through a remodel talks about how bad it is, how they wanted to cry, or even get a divorce. Hiring Bill Baldwin and his staff changes that dynamic completely to meetings where you talk about CREATION. A perfect example was a niche for an autographed guitar that I own. Imagine three designers talking about how to "honor" it and exploring lighting options for an hour. My wife and I could go on and on about the details I never would have thought of. The workers are an extension of that. They spent days making sure the drywall finish was flawless, as was the paint. Derrick who was in charge the electrical gets it. He understands that lighting is everything. Everyone from Reg the Project Manager to Myranda the decorator and Sarah the architect went beyond to make this something that was fun instead of something to suffer through. I'm a business owner and my time is precious. Letting go of it to turn it over to detailed professionals that CARE was a smart business decision for me. It gave us peace, but more important was the end product. In the town I live in many people know HartmanBaldwin is the best, and we can now attest to it too.

It's the first time that I leave this kind of review in my life…read more Just wanted to share my experience so that no one else feels my frustration by coming to their workshop. Had a very bad, frustrating experience with this company. I received an email invitation to attend a home remodeling workshop from 6:30 to 8:30 pm on 8/10/17 at 300 S. Raymond Ave. Suite 18, Pasadena. I talked to someone at the office to register this Monday. Also, she left a voice message to confirm the workshop a couple of days ago. I went there at 6:29 pm. I walked to the office and read the sign "enter through a main entrance on the parking lot", which I did. The entrance was locked. I called the office through the intercom and no one answered. I called the office at 626-486-0510. Got the voice message that their business hours is over. Of course it was over at 6:30! I was extremely disappointed and frustrated with the way this company invited me to a workshop that they wouldn't provide at Thursday evening. If you plan to attend the home remodeling workshop offered by this company, you know what to expect! You wouldn't even be allowed to their office. Good luck on your home remodeling!!!

We had a great experience working with Ramy on our ADU project. From the very first interaction, he…read morewas extremely responsive and professional. When he came out to take measurements, he offered smart suggestions that made our project more cost-effective while also adding long-term value to our home. Ramy delivered the plans ahead of schedule and took the time to walk us through everything in person. The city of Claremont's permit requirements are very strict, and it was clear that Ramy knew what the city would require. When the city had requests we didn't agree with, he communicated directly with the city planner on our behalf and guided us through the process with confidence and clarity. You get what you pay for with Ramy--his work is high quality, detailed, and thoughtful. His expertise, responsiveness, and professionalism made a stressful process feel smooth and manageable. We highly recommend him for any home or ADU project. He is absolutely worth it.

Ramy is more than professional! Ramy treats your project with high priority. It does not matter how…read moremany projects he may have going on he is very well time managed. Ramy makes the effort to not only give you a thorough plan, but to also clear any doubts you may have. His buisness operates professionally and they are well aware of all the building codes. Working with Ramy is not taking a leap of faith, it is working in the right direction to get your project moving forward and done. His prices are well worth his services. I have a project that I had to delay due to tenant removal, but even then he still assisted me with questions that I had when i was going through my construction and inspection process. If you need help with an ADU or with any other service he offers you are working with the right man for the JOB! It does not matter how big or small you project is, Ramy experience is of paramount and will guide you in the right direction.

I had the principal of the firm come over to our new home to give us a quote for a remodeling plan. He walked in and tactlessly spit out, "this is a horrible floor plan." He then asked if I had a budget, I replied yes and he proceeded the say, "I am sure not enough." After 20 minutes of looking around our home he said he would call me in a couple days to schedule an appointment so we can discuss fees and plans for the house. I haven't heard from him in a week nor do I want to. We purchased a home in a nice neighborhood and the floor plan is not perfect, which is the reason for the remodel. Anyway, I find his highbrow attitude uncalled for and definitely in poor taste.

We hired Ron to do the architectural plans for the remodel of a fourplex. He came in with a fancy camera scanner to measure everything, a very efficient process. He was very much on time with the delivery of the initial draft. We discussed minor changes and submitted to the city, and they had just had a few minor corrections before approval, which is better than other architectural teams I have worked with. After we began work on the project, we discovered a beam in the ceiling was not pointing in the right direction, leading to the need for a revision to the plans. The engineer Margarito went on site and approved changes, which allowed us to quickly adapt. Overall this was a very streamlined process, I would be happy to use his services in the future and can very much recommend him.

The timeline was totally reasonable (honestly, my slow email responses probably added more time than anything on their end), and the plans were approved by the city on the first try, which was a huge relief. It was also hard to find someone willing to take on a smaller project at a fair price, and they were very thorough. Even months later, they've still been responsive with follow-up questions from our contractor. Would definitely recommend, especially for smaller renovations or additions.

Our project was to remodel and update a 1500 square-foot home in Claremont Village. We had been working with a firm with a longer résumé (and more employees). But unfortunately, the staff architect who was assigned to work with us designed something quite fancy that we couldn't afford to build. So the project just stalled out right there, and we were ready to ditch the whole thing. To put it mildly, we were quite distressed! Thank goodness for Laurel and Mark! They quickly produced a remodel design that took maximum advantage of the existing structures and unique features of our property. It was a delight to work with them, and to benefit from their vast experience and creativity. So we ended up getting a lot more home for less money. And because they truly listened to and understood us, we got exactly what we needed -- and not just something an architect thought would be cool to build. My recommendation: if you have an opportunity to work with these guys, jump on it.
