Current Super Service Award Winner for 2019 seven years running! Johnson Custom Builders is a Design Builder. Our approach is simple. It all starts with listening. We work closely with our clients to understand everything from their needs to their design preferences. Then we go to work helping them exceed their goals. www.johnsoncustombuilders.com Our process is completely transparent. Our estimates are designed to provide realistic expectations not best-case scenarios. For us, communication is key and we keep you completely informed every step of the way communicating in a way that helps you anticipate and act to effectively engineer the best possible solutions every step of the way. At Johnson Custom Builders our approach is never just about managing timelines and budgets its about delivering on promises and helping you realize dreams. One look at a Johnson Custom build and you'll immediately understand why so many discriminating customers recommend us to their friends looking for a higher level of customized home building. It's not just about the attention to detail or use of the highest-quality materials or even the custom-crafted details. It's about the personalization. Personalization that comes from a builder that not only knows how to listen but also how to anticipate, communicate and most of all deliver on a promise. A native of Kirkland, Washington, founder Ryan Johnson shares the same core values as the community he has always called home: Integrity, Honesty and Originality. He's been actively designing, building and remodeling homes in the area for over 25 years. And in that time, he has earned a stellar reputation for providing outstanding results crafted with uncompromising integrity and quality. Hes also earned a reputation for delivering on his promises. A+ rating on the Better Business Bureau (BBB) !

"Ryan and his crew did a great job building out Car Port. From the first time we talked to a completed project was about 6 or 7 weeks. He and his crew were very professional and, came on time, and exceeded my expectations with respect to the quality, time to finish, etc. Ryan also collaborated with another team of professionals that were contracted to place Solar Pannels onto the Car Port that was just completed. He made sure that all of their requirements and spec were addressed while building the Car Port. THANK YOU Ryan and Co!"

"Was not a simple house to have built, the design had way to many errors. Elevation was not to scale and once built it started to show, that it was not to scale. If you like looking at A post out your window or a gutter in front of your window. Then this is the team for you. Fascia from gable almost touching the door trim. Just a mess. Luckily the framers could fix some of it. They did a quick redesign of the roof."

We take great pride in our experience, expertise, quality, and customer service that we provide to meet the customers needs. It is our mission to provide excellent workmanship and complete customer satisfaction from start to completion of a project. In order to understand the needs and expectations of our customers, we take great care to work and communicate with every customer in a professional manner. Our reputation is based on service, safety, and quality, regardless of how large or small the job.

"Josh has always been prompt and communicative with every interaction we've had. I initially got in touch with him about new construction design questions, and when we discovered that our current home porch posts had rotted through due to faulty design by the original home designer, Josh jumped into action. He had his engineer and construction crew to our door within 24 hours to take a look and put together a plan. He took my design ideas and brought them to life. He was transparent about all parts of the cost (to include his profit), and gave us to option to lower the cost by hauling away debris and painting the porch (which we were more than willing to do). Any delays with the work were met with a phone call and followup email if he didn't get through to either my husband or I immediately, and the construction crew did very high quality work. We were beyond pleased with his customer service! We will definitely use Revival Home Designs in the future when we decide to build our forever home."

EA&D can provide design services including site and project evaluation, programming, schematic design, permit drawings and documents, and project administration. We are able to provide the specific scope and amount of design services that you require in order to get your project under way and finished in the most effective and economical manner.

"Kevin worked with us on our home remodeling project in 2023/24. We had a dated 1979 property that needed totally redesigning to eliminate some pretty awful existing features. Kevin came up with a number of possible solutions for the design. We finally settled on a scheme that we were happy with. Kevin was very tolerant when we then changed our minds requiring him to redo some of the drawings. Kevin has also been available to offer help and advice during the construction process."

A residential design project, whether new construction or remodeling, presents homeowners with the opportunity to personalize their environment. With my background designing new and remodeled residences, I strive to offer imaginative, practical solutions to fit your individual needs and desires. I am also a trained framing and finish carpenter and can speak the same language with general contractors. For a successful project, it is important to develop a strong and open team between the owner, architect, and builder. Green, sustainable building concepts and energy efficiency are considered with every home, and can be integrated seamlessly with the design. I will help you prioritize your budget with your building program for a maximum return with your investment. The design process is a thoughtful, well-documented, fun experience to share with the homeowner. I typically meet with clients at their location.

"We worked with Paul over the past 30 years he has great sense of design and does a good work."

CB Anderson Architects, PLLC, is a 5 person - 15 year old firm on Phinney Ridge in Seattle specializing in single family (new - additions and remodels), commercial, multi-family and restaurant projects. We look for the best solution to match the client's needs, including sustainable design solutions. Please call us to request a free 45 minute in-house consult and/or to ask for example projects.

"I worked with CB Anderson Architects after receiving a permit for a remodel revision. When I needed to make post-permit changes and was no longer working with my original architect, they stepped in and took the project forward. They helped me transition to a full tear-down and rebuild of my 1920s beach cottage, coordinating closely with my structural engineer, city reviewers, and contractor. Craig and his team were clear, professional, and supportive throughout. Amir was a thoughtful and steady collaborator. He made sure revised plans captured every detail, communicated effectively with the city and contractor, and kept everything organized. He was responsive, easy to work with, and approached the project with real care. Most importantly, I felt heard. I highly recommend CB Anderson to anyone navigating a residential project that demands flexibility, precision, and a team that truly has your back."

Architects questions, answered by experts

With proper training and experience, reading blueprints is fairly straightforward and not very difficult. If you don’t have the necessary knowledge to interpret the symbols, abbreviations, and other notations used, blueprints may not make sense. Learning to read blueprints can help you understand the construction process and keep you more involved and informed when you’re building a house.

While you will always work with a team of professionals at some point during your home build, homeowners with experience can take on some part of the process. Manage the initial brainstorm, brief writeup, and floor layout phase with minimal assistance before contacting a general contractor. And while you can purchase stock blueprints for some home designs, it's always best to speak with professionals when choosing one ideal for your property.

Architects can cater to both residential and commercial projects, tailoring their approach according to the specific sector regulatory requirements.

The country's most famous Neoclassical architecture appears in major government buildings and college campuses. The White House is unmistakably the most famous example, though the Capitol Building and Thomas Jefferson's Monticello are also iconic uses of the design.

Yes, you can finance cottage construction through several options. Construction loans provide funds in stages as work progresses, while home equity loans or lines of credit are available if you have existing property. Some lenders offer a combined construction and permanent mortgage. Always review loan terms and payment milestones before committing.
