He was a nice guy to work with, and took in account what we had to say. We just decided not go with this project. His price was also very good. We were looking for a designer, but he was not as creative for what we would want for our project.
Description of Work: They had done some drawings for a project we were going to do.

He was great. He was very prompt with his appointment. He was organized and had good ideas that I hadn't thought about that would be interesting for the remodel. He was low key, pleasant and easy to talk to. We had interviewed two other architects and he was the one that was the most helpful so we choose him.
Description of Work: He is an architect and he did a floor plan for a remodel.

Jim Wagner performed work for us approximately 1 year ago in creating a plan for converting an unfinished attic into a bonus room. He was incredibly thorough and attentive to details, especially structural issues to ensure that all areas were properly made or fitted for the load-bearing that would occur with adding a "3rd floor". He was in contact with structural engineers, and provided us with an excellent referral for the contractor to perform the renovation (JM Crossley construction). He ensured that the needs all fit current Lake Oswego building code. The whole project went VERY WELL from start to finish, and if we had any remodeling or architectural needs, we would definitely call Jim again!
Description of Work: Created a plan/blueprints for converting an unfinished attic into a bonus room.

It was a disappointing experience. It was difficult getting him to the property and to write up a proposal. Don't have a lot of confidence in his abilities. I will not be using him.
Description of Work: Jim came to the house and wrote a proposal for drawing up some plans.

Response from Wagner Designs
UPON REVIEWING THE REPORT, IT'S OBVIOUS TO ME THAT MOST OF THE DISSATISFACTION COMES FROM MISCOMMUNICATION. GOOD COMMUNICATION IS A TWO WAY STREET & BECOMES MORE CHALLENGING WHEN THE SERVICE PROVIDER IS COMMUNICATING WITH TWO OR MORE PEOPLE ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS, AS IN THIS CASE. FIRST, THE POTENTIAL CLIENT INDICATED ON THE PHONE THE $50.00 INITIAL FEE WAS NO PROBLEM. ALSO, MY ANGIE'S LIST AD INDICATES THIS EXPENSE. I INDICATED THAT IT COVERS FOR RISING GAS PRICES, TRAVEL AND DRAFTING THE PROPOSAL. IN THIS CASE TWO PROPOSALS WERE DRAFTED UP. SECOND, I INDICATED AT THE END OF THE MEETING WHEN & HOW I WOULD GET THE PROPOSALS TO THEM. I COULD GET AT LEAST ONE TO THEM THE FOLLOWING WEEK (WE MET ON A FRIDAY AFTERNOON). I WAS ASKING FOR PATIENCE WITH THE SECOND ONE THOUGH DUE TO A COMMITMENT FOR THAT WEEK (SPRING BREAK WITH MY SON). BOTH PROPOSALS WERE THEN SENT WHEN INDICATED. IT WOULD HAVE BEEN APPRECIATED DURING MY FOLLOW UP CALL A MENTION OF DISSATISFACTION, BUT THAT WAS NOT COMMUNICATED TO ME. FINALLY, AS DIFFICULT AS NEGATIVE FEEDBACK CAN BE, IT CAN ALSO BE WELCOMING. I AM REMINDED ONCE AGAIN, COMMUNICATING WITH TWO OR MORE PEOPLE INDIVIDUALLY CAN BE A POTENTIAL CHALLENGE, & I NEED TO BE CAUTIOUS & TAKE SPECIAL CARE.

Jim did a great job. He was very professional and a joy to work with. We had many ideas and pictures from other houses that included remodel ideas we liked. Jim took those ideas and applied them to our remodel drawings. He listened to us and worked with us through about 4 or 5 drawing revisions until we had just what we wanted. He did a wonderful job of updating our house to a Craftsman Style house complete with Knee Braces, Belly Bands, and Cedar Shingle Siding. The plans were complete with a new Timber Beam Entry and new Rock Accents. We absolutely love the finished product.
Description of Work: Developed Architectural Drawings for our Exterior Remodel Project. Provided Engineering Services for the new Entry Addition. Provided Final Plans as needed for putting the remodel project out to bid.

We were very pleased with our experience in using Jim Wagner of Wagner Designs. The design looked just the way we wanted it to on paper, and in reality, the completed addition is better than we expected. Just about every step of the way, our expectations were exceeded. Jim was very accommodating during the early phase of our project when we were still trying to turn our ideas into something tangible. He was never condescending toward us as he lead us through our vision. Once the project started in earnest, he was always easy to contact and returned our calls promptly. He was always thinking a couple steps ahead of us. The design is what we wanted yet also incorporates much more beauty and function than we envisioned on our own. We have subsequently received many compliments on the quality of the design and plan to use Jim in a couple years when we start on our vacation home project.
Description of Work: Designed an addition (home office and another spare room) to our house.
