He did this work for me two years ago and I just found out that the main contractor on this job never submitted paperwork for a final inspection. I called Alan about this issue and his immediate response was, "I'll go find your plans and call you back. I can walk you through this." He didn't hem and haw, he didn't make me feel bad, he just said, "I can help you." Within 15 minutes, he had found and reviewed my plans from 2 years ago and called me back. Back when we were originally creating the architectural plan, Alan spent a lot of time with me, suggesting ideas, listening to what I wanted and changing his original plans to fit what I wanted. He cares about what the client wants and has the architectural knowledge to be able to create a building that matches the client's descriptions and desires. He cares about aesthetics and quality, so his buildings are beautiful. He is flexible about meeting times and completely supportive of the client and he works well with all different kinds of people. It is very helpful that the people who work in the planning, permit and building departments respect and like him. I need look no further for an architect.

Interior Paint: The work was such high quality and his crew and Brian were so professional and such a pleasure to work with, we expanded the project while they were working on our contracted service and he still finished on time. Brian and his crew made helpful suggestions for color, trim, accents, etc. to improve the project and their finished work exceeded my expectations. The crew did not leave a mess any of they days there worked in our home and were conscientious about our furnishings and pets. We couldn't be happier with the service. Several friends have asked for Brian's contact information after visiting our newly painted home.
Exterior Paint: We hired Brian to paint exterior of our home and his team again made great suggestions for color, trim and accents. We also had him paint the red brick fireplace in our living room a light greige color and it turned out fantastic. I trust his judgement and when I ask for color/paint advice, I take it. They painted our stucco home, metalwork on our patio, chimney, and metal fittings throughout.
Update: My brother-n-law hired Brian to paint the exterior and interior of their new home in Skyline and were very happy with the service.

I also had a fender ding from earlier and some minor body work. His insurance company sent me to Francis Collision, and I was really impressed with how well they handled my car. We are definitely on a budget and probably wouldn't have tried Francis Collision because it looks like an expensive, high-end shop. Our experience confirms that they are high-quality, but the prices are on point for the quality they provide. Prompt, courteous and knowledgeable inspection was handled by an on-site insurance company adjuster. The estimate was very accurate. The body shop scheduled my repair at my convenience, which meant we waited until the mirror assembly could be secured before taking the car in. Instead of taking over a month to get new parts from England, they found the part used. If I hadn't known that it was used, I'd have never known. It looked just like new. We were offered a rental, but declined because we had another vehicle. The work was done carefully and the end product was perfect. They worked with an outside specialist for the fender ding and didn't mark up his charges. He was able to remove the ding from an area not easily accessed from inside the fender. This place is worth the price. They aren't the cheapest, but they do first rate work, the people are considerate, attentive, and very skilled. Our car was done when they said it would be done. The price for the work in excess of what the insurance covered was really reasonable. The manager is really hands on with the customers.

"I had a very positive experience. Nasir was professional but friendly and even my protective dog settled down quickly which I always consider a good sign. Nasir explained each step of the way and let me know when he’d be up on the roof and inside to clean out the stove ( this was a chimney cleaning job ) . I felt it was an extremely fair price for an overdue and dirty job and left everything spotless. Even gave me tips on cleaning the glass door of the wood stove. I will definitely be using their services again and would highly recommend. "
