"I have used an architect in the past for major renovations at my house. Unfortunately, he passed away so I needed to find a new one for the extensive renovations that I want to do at my rental house. I contacted five architects, all of whom were not interested -- probably because one phase of the project involved expanding the basement. All said that it would be a very expensive and difficult venture. When I told the last architect that I spoke to that I had sketched plans of what I envisioned for my project, his response was that I didn’t need an architect; I needed a designer/draftsman. My search led me to Gary at Kapital Drafting. His background in construction is an asset. He visited the property to talk to us about our vision. In our discussion, Gary suggested instead of expanding the basement that we enclose the patio and create a screened porch and then build a bedroom above. His suggestion took us in a completely different direction and no doubt saved me a lot of money in the long run and with a much better outcome than my original plan. The process went quickly (about 8 weeks) and smoothly. We had two Zoom meetings where Gary presented us with his drawings. He made the changes we suggested in real-time. It was so much fun to watch him make the changes right in front of us. Gary was very responsive to all my calls and emails. He listened to what we wanted and he made it happen. Gary is well organized and he is very detail-oriented. His fees were very reasonable. We paid about one-eighth the amount that one architect had quoted. It was a seamless process from start to finish. I highly recommend Gary and his company, Kapital Drafting."

"It went well and fast. The design was excellent and Evolution Drafting staff was courteous and professional. I got more than I asked for and with accuracy."

"I placed a notice on Angi that I desperately needed an architect. I was given a list of 5 companies, however Campbell Architects (CA) contacted me first. As a matter of fact, I do not recall any of the other companies reaching out to me. When I tell you that Johnathan Campbell stepped in and did what I needed him to do which was to draw a PLAT of my property, he also went above and beyond what one would expect someone as busy as him to do. He came in and recognized that in addition to needing a PLAT, I was also having a terrible time getting the work on my property completed because a hostile neighbor continuously contacted the DOB with false statements causing me to incur numerous Stop Work Orders. When I asked Mr. Campbell what his experience was with this sort of thing, he told me and then offered his help. What I found was a very thoughtful, quiet, and professional architect who had seen it all. Not only did he understand the situation with the neighbor, he also understood my plight with the DOB and set about methodically, and very carefully stepping in to argue my case for me. He has the experience, he has the knowledge, he has the patience and he is an established and well known architect in this area, and highly respected at the DOB. It took me six months to get a response from the DOB, but once Mr. Campbell stepped in, it only took one day. My point here is that the magnitude of an individual's professionalism, knowledge and capabilities is reflected in the work product and engagement experience you the homeowner will receive. Here, Mr. Campbell made a WORLD of difference in my life as a homeowner trying to do her best against a system of mostly men who know the system, who can be cavalier and do not really care that we the homeowners have become frustrated with DOB. Mr. Campbell is an ANGEL. If you ever need an architect, he is your guy. He is a no nonsense kind of man who really, really cares about people and understands that most homeowners are "no match" for the DOB machine that controls the movement of homeowners here in the DMV. I am so grateful to Angi for creating a platform where I could find Mr. Campbell. I honestly do not know if I could have survived my nightmare ordeal without his knowledge, strength and capabilities. I now consider him to be a friend. I was shocked that he was willing to help me with the crazy man next door, but he took all of that on. He has made a difference in my mental health and ability to complete the work that I started, which the neighbor constantly stopped. I feel that I got more than an architect when I met Mr. Campbell. When people tell me they need an architect I always tell them JOHNATHAN CAMPBELL FROM CAMPBELL ARCHITECTS. This is the best company I have worked with in years. So grateful to have met him."

"Thomas Clark Architects were on time, very friendly & it was so easy to explaining our problem. They were very professional & gave us a great perspective on what seemed a hopeless area. We are now so very excited to make the idea a reality. Mr. Clark was wonderful on follow-up and kept in contact with us and we hope we can get his services for another project we are planning when our finances allow us. Terri & Steve"

"He was very helpful and aware of all that I needed to get my project going. Thank you Peter so much for all your help."

"I contracted Romero’s to apply stucco to the exterior of my cinder block foundation and to reconstruct a retaining wall. Expert job and I highly recommend their work."

"I used an Angie's List deal for design consultation with Ruxton, and the meeting went really well, and the owner, Frank Zeberlein, who is also an architect, came up with plans a couple of weeks later to redesign the first floor (later, we would increase the scope to include the upstairs bathrooms and master closet). Frank reworked plans upon request, and he did so various times. He was really nice and professional throughout the whole process and was doing his best to meet our needs and concerns. His pricing was awesome, so it was hard to turn down his attractive offer. Ultimately, I chose another firm, however, because I felt their design plans were a bitter fit for me (not to say he doesn't have good design ideas that would please many people). However, I could tell he was really very knowledgeable and experienced in his field, as he could tell me in our older home where the original homeowners had put the stove, this entryway used to be a bay window, etc.; it all made sense why our house looked the way it did. I saw this big album of past work he had done in other homes, including kitchens that turned out beautifully. I gave this company a "B," since we didn't go with them in the end, but my experience with Frank was overall very pleasant."

"Rich approached the estimate more like an engineer than a salesman, which gave me the confidence to move forward with Coastal. Though they are not cheap, they know what they're doing. The lead carpenter Tim was able to work through several problems we uncovered along the way. Once they started they worked continuously and finished on time. I would recommend them if your job is complicated, requires custom carpentry, or if you're using quality materials that need special care."
