"We were introduced to Bruce after having a poor experience with a prior architect. We are doing a garage, bedroom, and entryway addition and planning to live at the house during the build (we're crazy maybe). Therefore we needed someone with a contractor background, design knowledge, and serious creativity for our project. Bruce has done a great job working with us remotely (were out of state). Extremely responsive, patient to help us understand design choices and physical limitations and delivered us a beautiful final concept. He then help scale back the plans for a phased approach project (Contractor portion and DIY). Delivered full 2D, 3D, cross sections, as-built, demo, framing, and electric plan. He was very quick and was often waiting on us, (which was a nice change). Thank you Bruce, can't wait to have you out once we have the project finished."

"Fair & Square was excellent. We had a very large scope which included repainting the entire interior, rip out and rebuild of the kitchen and three bathrooms, and removal of several half-walls. The work was done to high quality and any problems were quickly addressed. The Fair & Square approach includes a project manager to do all of the coordination and planning so there's a 1-stop shop. They are not so big that they're inflexible and not so small that you feel there will be a lot of unpredictability. Also we found Fair & Square to be very adaptable to the level of cost that we wanted to have, and not either locked into being high end or budget. We were very pleased with the detail and accuracy of the cost and schedule estimate, including use of a contingency. This provided a level of predictability that we've rarely seen in this kind of major work scope. There are specific contacts in their office to help with selection and procurement of materials and with follow up warranty service. Both are very convenient and responsive. The use of a project manager and the additional staff does add some expense however it pays off in quality, predictability, and responsiveness. Toward the end there were a couple of problems where we had to reach out to the owner (Mike Otto) for help and he was very responsive and helpful. Overall a great experience and we highly recommend Fair & Square for your home renovation."

"Ken was very easy to work with and very knowledgeable. We could call or send him a text anytime we had questions, he always responded in a timely manner. He had numerous suggestions anytime we were looking for ideas or colors. Would gladly use him again for any project!"
