"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."

"Blackstone is a very professional company and their service and communication is unsurpassed! Eddie was the lead on the project and was very competent. Antonio was the amazing guy that did almost all of the demolition and construction of the bathroom. He was very patient and extremely neat. There are always unknown things that come up with remodeling projects and Antonio addressed them with calm and expertise. He came up with ideas that we didnâ t think of and they were on spot. I highly recommend Blackstone."

"It went very well. Though the crew was late arriving (normal, for traffic in this area!), they worked hard and well, and the architect-engineer (Arthur Balter) was here both at the beginning and near the end of the work to make certain that things were progressing well. The new brick patio is beautiful and well-constructed, and I am very pleased! I also needed my apple tree to be treated against bug infestation. Ballard injects rather than sprays, which I prefer."

"We had an excellent experience. They came out and gave us a very fair quote. I felt no pressure while deciding on what design we wanted. They day of installation could not have gone any smoother. They are a very professional competent team. The fence is exactly what I had hoped for, we now have a little oasis of a backyard."

"It was wonderful as always. They were professional and on time. The family worked for me for 20 years now."
