"Walter Graham is one of the most dishonest, disingenuous people I have come across when dealing with home improvements in SW Florida. We had “Paradise” Designs, install an almost 12k wall mounted entertainment center back in November. The wall mounted LED lighted panels only worked for a day. I called Walter the next day and left a message that the remotes stopped working, and that the app was only working intermittently, only turning on one of the three panels. After 3 calls, Walter texted back on November 17th that he was out of town for the Holiday and would have his installers “Fix” the issue at the beginning of December. Not once did Walter offer to come out to the house and diagnose the issue. The panel was never fixed. Numerous calls and emails from December until February went unanswered (All documented). It wasn’t until my email to Walter on 2/23 threatening Legal Action that he replied. Even though he put in writing that the lights would be fixed at the beginning of December, his response to my February email was that he considered his liability to the project closed since the project was accepted and paid for. He blamed the issue on “Misused Remotes”, and his solution, drop shipping $49 Amazon LEDs for me to fix myself. I have filed with the CFPB, State Attorney general of Florida and the BB. If you’re looking for a dishonest company that won’t stand behind their work, will lie and mislead, Walter Graham of Paradise Designs will fit that need."

Most business and homeowners don't know where to start with the lighting, let alone what a GOOD Lighting Design is. And finding out where to start can be a challenge. A lighting designer is someone who is NOT financially tied to any brand, but instead chooses "Performance over Product" while being mindful of Budget and Biology. Lighting is a fundamental law of physics that creates color, shades, perception, productivity, knowing, sleep, connectedness, warmth. Ever notice you walk in to a room and it doesn't feel right? Check the lighting. It can have enough light, but lots of glare because of the low cost, poor performance product out there. By partnering with an expert, you get someone in your corner who is looking out for your final project vision and will get you there without cutting corners, creating a beautifully lit dream home or business, while saving money on the material side.

I enjoy meeting people and making their vision come to life through the renovation work Simple Works does. Call or email to get your project started today!
"I can’t say enough good things about working with Peter Harris. We had a construction emergency and Peter took care of it skillfully and efficiently. Just after we went under contract to sell a family member’s condo, a water leak ruined the flooring and some cabinetry throughout the home. Immediately we struggled to work with the insurance company and find a contractor. Sourcing a reliable craftsman in Bozeman’s market seemed nearly impossible, and if we didn’t get the damage fixed quickly and competently, the water was likely to cause even more damage and we may have lost our buyer. With high praise, our realtor referred us to Peter. We were thrilled when he agreed to take on our job and ecstatic when we saw his work product was above reproach. Working with Peter was a joy, as well. He started the project almost immediately, gathering information for the insurance claim and ordering supplies. We live several hours from Bozeman and he was fine collaborating directly with our realtor for day-to-day issues. Peter kept us informed throughout and reached out to us for decisions when he needed approvals. Two months after Peter started the work, we closed on the condo. Thanks, Peter!"

While you might think that architects only draw blueprints for buildings, they are much more involved in the overall construction process than you might realize. While they aren’t the ones swinging the hammers, architects do the following:
Communicate with the homeowner on the project request, including assistance when exact plans aren’t known
Develop computer-aided models and blueprints of the requested design
Ensure that the design incorporates form, function, and safety features
Provide the contractor with the agreed-upon design
Supervise the general contractor and any subcontractors throughout the project
Communicate any needed changes to the project with the homeowner and draw new plans accordingly
Before settling on and hiring an architect, it’s beneficial to you as a homeowner to ask some questions to familiarize yourself with their work. After all, you wouldn’t want to spend time and resources on a professional that doesn’t specialize in exactly what you want in a house. Some questions to ask your architect include:
How do you charge for services? Is it on an hourly basis, based on square footage, or based on project size?
How do we work together to stay on budget for this project?
Do you anticipate any future challenges with this project? How are these communicated?
What is your project management style? If you are not handling the day-to-day details, who is my point of contact?
Can I see previous similar projects that you’ve completed?
Do you have any specialty experience, like working on historic homes or using sustainable building materials?
The average cost to hire an architect for your home project ranges between $2,200 and $10,500. However, depending on location and project type, you might end up paying as little as $600 or as much as $45,000 or more. For example, the average cost of hiring an architect in North Carolina is between $1,800 and $2,000, but in California, that price tag jumps to $3,600 to $15,200.
The price you pay for your architect also depends on their experience level. For example, a principal architect, the firm's owner, typically charges $150 to $250 per hour. However, an intern architect with three to five years of experience usually only charges $45 per hour.
After you’ve spoken with your contractor and agreed on a project, they’ll draw up blueprints, or plans, that the construction crew will use. The blueprint process can take between four and six months to complete. While this can seem like a long time, remember that the architect must communicate with your municipality to determine codes, communicate with you as the homeowner with any changes or adjustments, and coordinate with the construction crew.
If you simply remodel your home or add an addition, the time to draw up the plans will be shorter since fewer permits and surveys are required. Even still, it’s best to plan for a few months for the architect to complete this part of the project.
Knowing if you need an architect for your project can be tricky, especially if you've never worked with one before. In general, small remodeling projects like replacing fixtures typically don't require the expertise of an architect. However, larger projects, like moving walls or adding an addition to your home, should include an architect to ensure the project is structurally sound.
