Artios Architects

I do not recommend working with Artios Architects. I initially reached out to Artios Architects to see if they had an architect that would be able to help me with a dormer project. They suggested working with the architect Jose Guzman. We reached out to Jose and had him come by our house to see if the project was something he had the skillset to work on. We agree to work with him, he took measurements of our space, and we were provided with three design ideas. We had no issues up until this point in the project. We selected one of the designs and were informed we may need a structural engineer to help with the project. At this point, Jose’s communication ceased to exist. I inquired multiple times if an engineer was required and it took Jose two weeks to inform us that we would need a structural engineer to complete the design we selected. We were willing to bring an engineer on the project, but neither the architect nor Artios Architects had sufficient connections to identify anyone for the project. While this was unfortunate, the part that was most frustrating was that we were never provided any updates without asking and at some point Jose just stopped responding altogether. I needed to call the firm to determine what was going on with the project and see if there was a reason behind the absence of communication. We were told there were issues finding an engineer and they apologized for the communication issue, however, Jose still did not respond after the call. It became clear that Artios Architects and Jose were not the right people for our project. We had put down a deposit for half the project upfront with an agreement in place for how much each aspect of the project would cost. We told Jose we would pay for the designs but wanted money back for the services not completed. We finally got Jose to respond after many attempts to contact him and he agreed to give us money back for the services he did not perform. We have still not been reimbursed. This is the first bad experience I have had with a contractor found on Angi. Working with Artios Architects and Jose has been a true nightmare and I can only hope no one else has to experience this.

Artios Architects did a wonderful job on the schematic design and creation of documents for the general contractor. In a mixed used building we converted a portion of the commercial space into two new residential apartments. We selected Jane and Jose to do the architectural design. They made fantastic and creative use of the space to optimize its functional and aesthetic appeal. The result was two new apartments that everyone loves and very easy to rent.

She figured out how to sit everything to a small space and was very creative. It worked out very well and I'm very happy with the service.

They were excellent, easy to work with and very detailed.

Very well and timely. Very easy to work with and accommodating to my input into the design process.

Jane and her team helped me re-design my home now that my in-laws have moved in. The ideas and designs they came up with were just what my husband and I were thinking of but could not put into words. Artios Architects had respect for my time & budget and they were very accommodating to our situation. Jane made such a transitional time for our family much easier and we could not be more DELIGHTED with the results. Their work is Amazing! I Highly Recommend Jane and her team at Artios Architects for all of your renovating or building needs. You will not be disappointed!

Very smoothly. Very down to earth people, very responsive. We had tons of questions and they were knowledgeable and very prompt. They traveled to our house to help us think things through-- decisions such as colors, materials etc. Reasonable price & excellent value

Came to review project within 2 days and provided professional advice throughout planning.

Great...I haven't started the renovations, but he offered to work with me again should I need additional modifications.

This turned out very well. We had to reschedule a couple of times.  They took measurements and never got back to me.

MY CONTRACTOR FOLLOWED HER PLANS AND IT CAME OUT BETTER THAN I COULD HAVE WISHED FOR. OTHER PEOPLE TOLD ME I COULD NOT DO IT. JANE JUST LOOKED AND DID IT. SHE WAS WONDERFUL AND A LOVELY LADY! I COULDN'T BE MORE HAPPY.

It has been just over two years since we began working with Bob and Jane on the renovation of our house. From beginning to the approaching end, Bob and Jane have always been available, ready to accommodate us with visits to the house, design changes, and ready to provide advice on all matters. They were patient with us as we confronted permit problems and a year’s delay due to the 2015 winter. Without Artios Architects, we would have been lost. Bob’s and Jane’s years of architectural design experience have meant that they have been able to answer all questions and advise on all problems. We are working with a limited budget. Their advice has kept us within it and, at the same time, given us a house that we are very proud to show. Even now, as they visit us during the final construction, they are assisting us in design and color selection. Bob and Jane are sympathetic to our concerns, and clearly take great pride in the realization of their architectural design, and the creation of a livable house that is our home.

It was fine, but not worth the money.

The architect you came to consult with us was not the individual originally contracted, but he was very competent with a lot of interesting ideas.

The first set of plans was excellent and I used them for zoning and contractor discussions.  When a major change was necessary Artios was extremely responsive  The plans were detailed and just what the contractor needed.  Artios Architects are excellent.
