"Chuck did a fantastic job, his plans were very detailed and exactly what we talked about. Through the whole process Chuck has only been a text or a call away and has come to the site through out all the construction to check on the progress. Chuck is very easy to work with and we would for sure recommend him."
"Henry is great to work with! He and his crew have done several projects for my house. He communicates the plan and expectation clearly, is very responsive to emails and text, and gets work done efficiently. Highly recommend!"
"Unique Perspective did an outstanding experience from start to finish. Steve helped bring our vision to life by creating the architectural plans and as-built drawings for our home, and his expertise truly made the entire process seamless. His attention to detail, professionalism, and knowledge were exceptional. He took the time to understand exactly what we wanted and transformed our ideas into beautifully organized, well-designed plans. We were incredibly impressed with his communication, creativity, and ability to make everything feel simple and stress-free. If you are looking for someone talented, reliable, and highly skilled in architectural planning and residential design, I cannot recommend him enough. We will absolutely work again with his company in the future ."
"Michael Byron, Atlas LLC Design and Development Services, Denver, CO 80210, 303-263-2665, is truly a breath of fresh air when dealing with a contractor/service provider. Although I have not known Michael for a long period of time, from the first conversation I knew that I was dealing with an ethical and caring person. Prior to hiring Michael I had spoken to several Architects, and not only did I find them to be curt, bothered, but they were not forthcoming with their ideas, and once I received their bids for my addition/remodeling project, I realized that they were at the very top tier of any professional with their high costs (go ahead check for yourself---staggering). Anyway, back to Atlas LLC., so Michael was very patient, extremely thorough during the entire process making sure that the design was fully thought out in appearance, function, and costs. Michael was also hired to obtain the necessary structural design and drawings from an Engineer that he works with. This is extremely important at a time when the trades are very busy, he kept things on track and coordinated the process. Michael was very good with the communication, and continued to assist with building officials as needed on the road to completion and permit approval. Okay, Michael sounding pretty good right? Now, about me this was not my first go round, I am a successful real estate agent 25+ years in the Denver metro area. I have had dozens of my own projects, and have participated with clients in hundreds. Michael has made a very stressful process---construction in the middle of a move, much more tolerable, and I will gladly refer him to anyone in need of Design Services for their next project or remodel.

"Chris and his team were amazing every step of the way. Starting with the design and planning, the installation, and answering questions after the project was completed their customer care and professionalism was second to none. The work they did looks beautiful and really adds to both the value and the asthetic of our home."
"Steve was great to work with. We had drawings done by an architect we planned to work with who then couldn't meet our budget in the end. We found Steve who took those drawings and made small changes that led to major impacts. Steve helped us build a beautiful ADU. He saw the project through from start to finish. He was often at the jobsite overseeing things. He made sure the project was built correctly and would answer our call every time. He was timely, professional yet personable and extremely knowledgeable. We would highly recommend him and have to our friends who were building."
"We got many quotes and had many meetings with companies and Sigi was by far the most professional, knowledgeable and affordable. He had worked for our builder's warranty division so knew the permits to get and HOA requirements. We were amazed by the communication throughout the process and so impressed with how our backyard turned out. We absolutely love it! Sigi came back a couple of times after the backyard was complete to check on the irrigation system and sod to assure all was working properly and growing. We highly recommend Sigi/MG Landscaping!"
"I highly recommend Centennial Landscaping. I hired them to build a paver patio and do yard edging. Larry was very prompt with his estimate, and it was a competitive price. He is very easy to communicate with, listens and offers suggestions. And, he followed the project's progress daily. The crew was outstanding. They showed up every day by 8 a.m. and worked until 6 p.m. They were very friendly, professional and respectful of my property. At the end of the project, they did a great job cleaning up. Diego is an expert with pavers. The patio he built is beautiful. From the estimate to the completion of the project I couldn't have been more pleased with this company. If I need any landscaping in the future, I will definitely call Centennial."
"We had a great experience working with Vital Architecture and highly recommend her.
For Little Village Childcare, she helped us save money by confirming certain landlord requests were not required by code and securing a waiver that saved space and costs.
She also reduced civil engineering expenses by preparing the playground drainage plan herself.
During construction, she provided extra support at no cost and helped us handle contractor changes wisely.
For another church childcare project, she identified zoning issues early so everyone understood the risks.
In Colorado Springs, she warned a tenant about higher plumbing costs required by childcare regulations, helping them avoid a bad lease.
For an adult care project, she reviewed the food area and explained new kitchen and ventilation requirements.
Carmen is knowledgeable, thorough, and truly looks out for her clients’ best interests."
"I hired David for two reasons. I am one the person who taught him for many years, who happens to be a reputable Denver landscape company, but also because a crew I hired to do my outdoor area in my backyard stopped work and disappeared. David completed my kitchen under budget, and with the detail that only a true outdoor Craftsman could do. Highly recommend!"
A structural engineer's report provides a professional assessment of a property's structural condition. It typically includes an evaluation of the foundation, key structural elements like roof trusses, floor joists, studs, beams, and rafters. The report will also contain a detailed description of the engineer's findings, often supported by photographs, and provide recommendations to correct any identified issues. Depending on the scope of the inspection, it might also include an assessment of property drainage, potential issues from environmental conditions like extreme weather or tree placement, and an estimated time and cost for any recommended repairs.
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.
Balancing aesthetics with functionality amidst space planning is important. To do so, you could consider consulting both an interior designer and an architect to fulfill both these needs. Or you can tackle it on your own by prioritizing personal touches amidst space planning that add to the look but don't take away from the livability of the space.
Open floor plans can come with drawbacks—mainly the lack of privacy and noise dampening. Walls act as an important barrier for traveling sounds, meaning in an open floor plan you could hear your dishwasher running while sitting in your living room. Storage limitations and separation of activities (for example, keeping the kid’s playroom away from the dining room) are other reasons some homeowners are opting out of an open floor plan.
Depending on project scope, complexity, and building size, architectural services for businesses typically cost between $2,000 and $50,000. Fees can be structured as hourly rates, fixed pricing, or a percentage of total construction costs.
