"My husband and I decided to completely redo our back garden. After much research with other companies and viewing many ugly and blah ideas we chose G and L Design. It was a very intensive project. Giant ficus trees with very invasive roots had to come out, along with the roots. Much concrete had to be removed. Most of the old soil had to be replaced. Most of the plants needed to be removed except for a few hydrangeas and roses. We also had drainage problems along the side of the house which were affecting the integrity of the foundation. G and L Design helped us develop a beautiful and comprehensive design and also addressed serious problems. After doing an excellent and clean job of demo the fun part started. Dee, the owner, took us to a stone yard where we found exactly what we wanted: beautiful golden figured sandstone. We wanted much hardscape for entertaining yet for the space to be lush at the same time. Dee's excellent landscape architect Rick took us to nurseries and helped us decide on beautiful trees, shrubs, flowers and herbs. Dee has permanent employees; he uses no day labor. His workers are skilled. Each large slab of stone had to be cut by hand. It was put together like a beautiful puzzle. The stone cutter was an artist. It was a joy to watch him work. We have an upper yard and a lower yard. A beautiful stacked stone curving wall was created along with very pretty large half moon steps separating one area from the other.$ New drip irrigation systems and lighting were installed. The drainage problems on the north side of the house were addressed. The trees and plants are terrific. Wherever your eye lands there is something lovely to see. As the project progressed we obviously ran into some challenges but Dee always had a solution. When I wanted to make some changes there was not a problem. We are so happy with this fabulous addition to our home we are using Dee to redo the front of the house next. If you're looking for a fair company and talented people look no further than G and L Design."

"Let me tell you about Amir he is a stand up and honest guy!! When all architect companies wanted to take me for thousands of dollars Amir instead gave me the tools (knowledge) of what needed to be done to get the site and floor plan done for the city. You don’t meet many business people that will give you honest free advice so Amir is greatly I meant greatly appreciated for his assistance and guidance in getting my site and floor plan completed for the city. Will definitely work with Amir again!!!!"
"We had a great experience working with Eran. He is a professional and is an expert in his field for our specific project, he handled all the structural work for the seismic retrofit and when my architect had a melt down, he even stepped in and took on that responsibility too. He collaborated with us and we spent the time to understand our needs and where we wanted to take the project. He made our life much easier by getting the building permits and worked with the planning department and the inspectors. Invaluable. We look forward to working with him in our next phase and would recommend him for future work."
"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."

"We hired Jesse and his team to build out a commercial space for our coffee business.
Jesse provided us with an itemized budget and made certain we understood all of the costs associated with our project. He also provided us with a detailed construction schedule and he was able to adhere to it.
Despite hiring a designer and an architect, we needed additional guidance on layout and design. Due to his extensive commercial construction experience, Jesse had no problem providing us with his honest and practical guidance on layout and design to ensure our space was as functional as possible.
In sum, everything was spot-on and professional with Jesse: budget, schedule, communication, and experience.
The best advice I can pass along is to speak with Jesse about your project before you hire a designer and/or an architect. You will save time and money by working with Jesse and his team!"
Renaissance-style architecture predates Italianate architecture and serves as an inspiration for many elements of the Italianate style. Renaissance architecture adheres to the rules of classical architecture, while Italianate architecture adds elements that served to modernize the Renaissance style for the Victorian era and allow this style of home to be produced in a range of sizes to be attainable for various budgets.

Universal design costs can be minimal when you add them during construction; however, adding universal design principles to existing homes can sometimes increase renovation costs. For example, a mid-grade bathroom remodel is estimated to cost around $30,000, while a standard universal design remodel can cost closer to $40,000. Adding accessible design components can include widening hallways ($500 to $2,000), curbless showers ($2,000 to $8,000), and widening doors ($400 to $800). Keep in mind that these increased costs can lead to higher resale values because universal homes may appeal to a wider variety of buyers.
Architects bring expertise in spatial design, efficiency, aesthetics, and safety, translating complex needs into feasible, regulatory-compliant design plans.
While possible for small projects, professional designers ensure compliance with building codes and structural integrity.
