Best architects near Dana Point, CA

"My wife and I purchased a home built in the ‘70s that was in good condition but in desperate need of a complete remodel. We had a clean, modern style in mind for our growing family and needed an architect to help us turn it into an actual design. That’s where YNG Architects came into play. We selected Yenny Ng and his team for design after interviewing several other firms because during the walk-through (a) he quickly played off and expanded upon our ideas, (b) provided pragmatic insight into the implications to build and construction, and most importantly, (c) had a gentle but confident manner that matched well with our working style. We were not disappointed. Over a period of several months we went through a systematic design process. Yenny and his team listened to our design preferences and took cues from example photos of design elements we admired. He lent his expert opinion and personal perspectives to balance pragmatic build versus splurging where we wanted to splurge (bi-fold doors between the indoor and outdoor space, yay!). He and his team worked well offline where we often exchanged and updated designs by exchanging emails and annotated PDF files—this was very productive as my wife and I both have demanding careers. He and his team also helped us through the city’s permitting process to get the requirements and details done; they were thoughtful and swift in responding to the city’s requests. There were no surprises with the design fees.  In the end, we have a beautiful modern and functional design that fits in well with the neighborhood. Over 65% of the existing home will be remodeled and an additional 30% new living space will be added. My wife and I were very pleased with the outcome and even more excited to see this design come to life for our family. We even have a Phase II project lined up with Yenny and his team to build out the outdoor living space. We would gladly recommend YNG Architects to our friends and family. Now, this also means the construction project will be large and complex and require an experienced general contractor. We did interview other builders but chose Yenny (via YNG Construction) for similar reasons as the design—experience, pragmatism, and working style. We look forward to this next phase of our home remodel."

"Kyle and his team were very professional and easy to work with. He was able to explain changes that needed to be made and always delivered on promised schedules. Additionally, he proactively helped serve as almost a project manager to follow-up with my other contractors and architects, ensuring plans were submitted to the city on time. I did not know all of the dependencies between the different teams, and Kyle took the initiative to get everyone on the same page and follow through even though technically he was brought on as a secondary contractor. I really appreciated this."

"Jean Prescott Studio did a great job on my medical office! They made the whole process easy and handled everything from design to permits. The team was helpful, clear, and kept things on track. If you need solid architectural work that looks good and stays on budget, I highly recommend them!"

"Carolyn is a gifted designer and manager. She took charge of our project from measuring, blueprints, selection of materials, appliances, permitting. She managed her expert contractors through the construction and installation processes. Our kitchen, living room and balcony are designed with indoor/outdoor living and greatly enhanced views, including the use of LaCantina Door Panels and custom windows. We are absolutely impressed and overjoyed with the outcome. Steve & Jim Laguna Beach"

"I called All Service out to replace cabinetry below and both sides of my kitchen sink, and to install a new kitchen floor due to a tube that suddenly burst below the kitchen sink. The technician was friendly, professional, outlined the estimate well, and made sure I was happy with the results as the job went along. His team did a great job and I would hire them again."
