“So professional and on top of their work thank you so much for a stress free result you guys are the best”

“Mr. Sheriff was the architect on this project that I built (I was the general contractor). He was very involved during the construction process providing invaluable feedback and answers to questions that inherently come up during the course of a construction project. In addition to that, I found him to be a very competent architect that tailored his design to the needs of this particular client and the challenging site he had to work with ensuring a very successful and well put together end result. I would wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone considering a remodel or an entirely new home. Mr. Sheriff also happens to be a very good landscape designer and complements his home designs with a complete site and landscape plan.”

“Skedio Studio’s team was very professional through out the whole process. They made sure we were satisfied with the plan and that the City approved everything.”

“The team at Minarc is great. They designed and helped us build a new home from the ground up using their proprietary mnmMOD building system. Founders Erla and Tryggvi were deeply involved in every step of the process, from initial design, to permitting, to all the build details through final completion. They listened to us, understood what we wanted in a house, then went on to deliver beyond our expectations. Both are highly creative, energetic and a pleasure work with. For our home, they created spaces for truly comfortable living while still maintaining a clean, modern and minimal aesthetic. As an added bonus, our home has been featured in print publications and broadcast programs, was recognized with numerous awards and was included in a Dwell magazine home tour. They continue to be an incredible resource for every aspect of design, building and architecture. Highly recommended!”

“I am an interior designer and have worked with both Jane and Scott Davis for a few years. Scott is a licensed architect, and Jane an interior designer. They have proven to be honest, fair, hardworking, professional, and creative. They work amazingly as a team and have an amazing crew. I highly recommend them to anyone looking to redecorate, remodel, or add on to their home. Sincerely, Anita Towle”

“Bill makes miracles and magic happen. Bill knows how to make a functional, aesthetically beautiful home without the dregs of excessive maintenance. Bill and his wife are an excellent team with a knowledge of the codes beyond even the inspectors knowledge - I kid you not. He is the architect to hire with his wife the engineer. Fabulous team.”

“We recently hired GT Architecture to create As Built drawings of a project we remodeling in Calabasas. There were no existing plans for this elaborate 10,000 sq ft 1980 Tudor. We needed detailed plans of the existing structures and site plan in order to determine the changes we want to make to the home and grounds. I am an interior designer and specialize in major remodels. Guy Turner of GT Architecture provided a truly competitive rate and delivered the plans in a very short turnaround time. GT Architecture also provided us with over 300 photos of the home, site and grounds for reference. All delivered in person with digital copies of everything. Guy was incredibly responsive from our very first inquiry and was attentive throughout the process making sure that we received exactly what we needed in order to execute the remodel. We now consider GT Architecture a valuable resource and team member and look forward to calling on their services again and again.”

“My experience with Home Front Build and long project to restore our Victorian home. During the project Home Front engaged in the following work, all of which was completed in the most skilled of manners, with the highest of quality, and on or under budget: Design, engineering, and permitting for our foundation (8 feet off the ground it had to be completely re-engineered to be stable and yet retain a historic look. Demolition of decayed porch. They saved the lumber (old-growth redwood) and re-milled much of it to use later in repairs. Re-face concrete foundation with original arroyo stones Repoint existing stone work Repair and rehabilitate historic windows using historic-style glass (all our double-hung windows now operate smoothly and not one needed to be fully replaced) Adapt client-supplied historic doors to fit door openings Repair exterior carpentry Reconstruction of two porches exactly as in a historic photograph (using full-dimensional lumber, some of which was milled onsite) Strip old paint, including lead abatement Repaint with historic-style, natural-oil, natural-pigment-based paint using brushes NOT spray guns or rollers Match wood stain color in interior window and door trim Repair existing lathe-and-plaster interior walls using both smooth and sand finishes Paint interior rooms matching colors to original colors Remove roof and oversee replacement of roof with redwood shingles Oversee gutter installation Rebuild exterior stone retaining wall using original stones”

“We have loved working with Dean on two remodeling projects. Dean was great to work with because he brought his architectural talent and creativity to the table while also listening to our wants and needs -- and even though we were one of his smallest projects, Dean gave us his full attention, which we really appreciated. He did a beautiful job modernizing our mid-century modern home while also preserving its original character. He then turned what I fondly used to refer as "the shed" behind our house into a a great studio / gym.”

“We had a leak in our upstairs bathtub. Whitcomb Design discovered that the tub had been incorrectly chosen and installed in a manner that leakage was inevitable. The problem was corrected by installing a higher-quality bathtub with proper design. It has not leaked since that time. Additionally, the water-damaged sub-flooring was also replaced, new floor covering of our choice laid (and a few weeks later, the remnants of the floor covering were installed in the downstairs bathroom), a new bathroom cabinet installed to our specifications, a new sink, plumbing, and granite top installed, bathtub tiling designed and installed, including a new recess for holding razors, shampoo, conditioner, etc., in the bathtub enclosure, a new mirrored medicine cabinet purchased and installed above the new sink, new bathroom lighting installed, new bathtub plumbing installed, including a raised shower head, and new ceiling access in the downstairs bathroom (and repair of the water-damaged ceiling), and a new high-efficiency, taller toilet installed. All of the work was done to perfection and at a reasonable cost, and we love our new bathroom. That project was completed about two years ago. Earlier this year we had Whitcomb Design inspect some dry rot in the eaves and under the rain gutters in the front exterior part of our home. The roofing (installed 30 years ago) was at least partially to blame. The damaged wood was replaced, the two layers of shingle roofing were removed, new superior roofing materials were installed, including better and larger rain gutters and down spouts, damage to the air conditioning return pipes was noted and repaired (without additional cost to us), gutters and down spouts were color coordinated with the newly painted eaves. Several of the down spouts were relocated, and the gutter slopes adjusted for better flow. One of the new "down spouts" was replaced with a beautiful copper "rain chain"; and a new solar-powered attic fan was installed on the upper roof to keep summer attic temperatures lower. Though not a part of the contract, which was thoroughly discussed with us and approved by us, the contractor, at his own time and cost, repaired and repainted our curb mailbox to match the newly-painted eaves, repaired the latches on both garden gates, plugged a hole in the side of the house where air-conditioning plumbing done several years ago left a hole big enough for a large bird to have built a nest inside the house, more securely attached incoming power lines to the back roof, and secured the rain chain by stringing a small steel cable through the copper funnels, securing it to the roof and to an underground pipe to discourage would-be thieves from "harvesting" the copper. The contractor also installed new carbon dioxide detectors in the upstairs hall and in the downstairs study, and checked the existing smoke detectors, finding one that was faulty and needed replacing and arranged for all the work to be inspected for adherence to city ordinances. Not only are we intending to use the same contractor for future work on our home, but we highly recommend Whitcomb Design to anyone who wants a home repair job done well, on schedule, and at a reasonable price.”
