NAWROCKI ARCHITECTS

Mike had great ideas - in our first meeting. Then after giving our down payment and making a second payment, he disappeared without a trace. We were out about $4500 and he’s not returned a call/text/email. We made the second payment because he said he had great plans for us and he kept rescheduling our appt until he went radio silent. We never record any work product.

We engaged Mr. Nawrocki for a project that included adding a two-car garage with office and bathroom above as well as substantial interior renovations on two floors of our house. Mike is creative, providing great recommendations on design. However, during the design phase there were times when we couldn’t get in touch with Mike (one time for 3+ weeks). Then when we were ready to move into the permit phase, where Mike was going to generate plans for the county and our builder, he disappeared. After spending more than 9 months working with Mike, we were left having to start over with another architect. After going to small claims court, we recovered our down payment but none of the money we spent working towards getting actionable plans we could use. So now we’re delayed in starting construction, out all of the money we paid to Mike and need to find a new architect. Obviously, I strongly recommend against working with Mike. There’s no telling if he’ll just leave the project when he feels like it, and you’ll be out all of the time and money you’ve spent working with him.

Mr Nawrocki did my plans for a master bed and bath. It was a wonderful experience! I had a lot of ideas and information and I had even done some early purchases. He took my ideas and incorporated them in the plans and brought in additional ideas which exceeded my expectations. The final results were outstanding.

We had already tried two other architects who did not understand our vision for the project. Mr. Nawrocki had several meetings with our staff and was open to meeting with the families from our school to address their concerns. He took the states guidelines, our teachers' wish list and the overall vision of our owner/director and was able to create an amazing addition that is open and bright. The addition is everything we could ever dream of and looks like it has been here from the beginning.



Mr. Nawrocki and his office were always eager to help and resolve any of our concerns.

They did some very nice designs, but Nawrocki really did not seem to grasp the essence of what we were looking for. They did quite a few detailed options, but did not make sure this was the direction we wanted to go. In the end it cost us more money for drawings that did not capture the essence we wanted and it was very frustrating. I felt like the drawings were done just to bring in money, not help with decisions. We decided to go with an architect that understood we were not looking for such a and quot;grandand quot; addition. The new architect also provided some basic drawings without all the needless detail you need when just trying to determine a layout of a bedroom suite. It was a costly mistake to learn this was not the architect for our house/needs.

Also, while visiting our house to discuss options for the bedroom and an overall revamp of the house, for which they were paid, there were questions the architect could easily have answered had they simply climbed into the attick to answer, but did not.

These architects would be better suited for million dollar homes, not the average home owner.
