"The work Erdelyi associates did is great, but communication and timeliness were lacking. I didn’t have a consistent point of contact throughout the project - it just seems my project was handed off from one person to the next with no continuity and I had to proactively reach out for updates."

"Working with Dee and his team was a great experience. From the initial consultation Dee had creative ideas and a vision for what could be done to maximize the use of our yard. Aside from giving us more usable areas, it was also a project that increased the beautification of our space. He has a team of incredible craftsmen who were very meticulous with everything they did. The construction was high-quality, thoughtful, and everyone was extremely knowledgable about each piece of the project. This was the first big outdoor renovation my husband and I have taken on and I feel very grateful we found Dee and his team. Working with them has been one of the best investments we’ve made in our home. We were in great hands and have additional projects planned with them."

"I am a homeowner who did my own home remodeling architectural design. Even though I had architect degree, but I had never done any project in Los Angeles. As everybody knows, Building and Safety has tons of regulations to follow, which made the permitting process especially difficult. I was so lucky to work with David, my structural engineer, who is very sharp, knowledgeable and hardworking. Not only did he deliver his structural design on time but also he guided me through with all details of my architectural plan. He is very responsive and generous about sharing his knowledge. It was such a surprise when David got me the permit over the counter from the city office with only one attempt, which expedited my remodeling project timeline for at least two months. Definitely recommended!!"

"Fabulous work done by Encore Builders As someone who works in the interior design world- I have a discerning eye for quality and value. I am very impressed with the beautifully driveway Encore Builders created for me. Oz and Brandon were recommended by some friends. To be on the safe side i gathered many quotes from local companies and Encore Builders was still by far cheaper. Their price was half the price of some of the companies who quoted me and it was obvious those guys were not experienced nor professional. Encore Builders gave me a quote on the spot, an expected time frame, and later followed up with a clear and detailed estimate. They were able to finish the work in under a month and the outcome is stunning. Their work does not compare to other companies I’ve seen and I’m sure this will be the first of many projects."

"We couldn't be happier with our backyard project. Motti and Kimberly were just wonderful to work with. They were professional, knowledgeable, friendly, and attentive all throughout the process. They listened to our thoughts and educated us as to all our possibilities. Motti has a wonderful design eye and is so passionate about his work. We were very happy when we used them for the front of our house 4 years ago, this time around for the back, and we would use them again in the future. We recommend them highly."

Architects questions, answered by experts

In most cases, you don't need to hire an architect for a garage conversion. Your garage conversion contractor should have the skills and experience to help create your desired design. However, if the scope of the conversion is large and complex, and your budget allows, it's smart to hire an architect to oversee the design.

Get prepared to meet with an architect by having a clear idea of what you’re looking for, a list of questions to ask, and as many project details as you can provide. The more information you can provide and receive from a prospective architect will help you decide who to hire.

Architects bring expertise in spatial design, efficiency, aesthetics, and safety, translating complex needs into feasible, regulatory-compliant design plans.

In most cases, you should hire a draftsperson for simpler projects like minor home renovations, and you should hire an architect for new construction, structural changes to your home, and large home add-ons. If you’re working on a larger project that demands an architect or structural engineer, your professional will often have a draftsperson on staff and include their services in your estimate.

The essential difference between an architect and an engineer is that architects typically focus more on the aesthetic design of buildings, although not without consideration for the structural integrity of the building. Engineers focus more on the structural, technical, and practical aspects of whether and how an architectural design can be built as drawn. You may need to hire both types of professionals if you’re designing and building a new home.
