"Overall Mario is a decent guy but left my entire project hanging after being Paid. There were still some final touches to be done and Mario just disappeared and stop responding to my calls & Text. I will never recommend this person to do any work after the trust I put into him. DO NOT WORK WITH THIS REMODELING COMPANY FOR ANY WORK. Few things that Mario didn't do that felt sketchy after I asked of him for a few times. - Receipts for Materials - Warranty Paperwork for the Work completed - Didn't follow the Backsplash pattern so backsplash had to be redone - Tried to Cover holes with trimming - Dented my new Dishwasher, Lost parts & didn't install it properly I can blame myself for not asking him for an actual contract before working so everything is in writing but I hope that this review will help someone else realize that he is not a good person to work with overall. Whenever you are working with a Remodeling company protect yourselves and ask for everything in writing before agreeing to any working or payment. Lesson learned."

A full service custom home builder/remodeler/renovations. Additions, kitchens, baths, whole house renovations, and new construction. Accredited A+ by BBB. Recommended by Angi and Home Advisor. See reviews at Angi Leads. In business since 1994.
"I made multiple attempts to contact this company and never received the courtesy of a response. Perhaps my initial job was not big enough. I just purchased my home and have a multitude of updates I plan to do within the next year but wanted to start with interior painting with sheet rock repairs and install a French door that required cutting out the existing wall, framing in the door then painting the interior before moving on to replacing 900 sq feet of wood flooring. Phase two would be to update kitchen and bathrooms..... however, if I can't get a response for a "small" job then I can't trust a response for a big job."

"Over two months to get house plans. Communication was dismal and the majority of my phone calls and emails were ignored. After I put down my initial deposit. I was ignored for so many weeks, I was beginning to think the company was fake. Draftsman never asked a single question. Not a good look when each round of revisions are charged by the number of changes. My final payment was requested before receiving house plans. Payment was sent and plans were immediately provided despite never having discussed or seen electrical and plumbing, etc. There was an error on the final plans and it took an act of Congress to get it changed. To be fair the final product was excellent but the ulcers I developed over this whole process would make me rethink using Evolution."

We provide architectural, structural, and mechanical engineering services, utilizing over 30 years of experience in technical design, construction management, and design build services. We "listen" to our clients and solve and implement creative designs based on their needs. Kesselman Architectural Design, LLC services all of PA, NY, and MD. Typically, a set of construction documents requires only one on-site visit to gather on-site environmental and existing building conditions. We find communication on most projects, whether local or distant, is usually completed via phone and internet. There exists a triad between 3 major project aspects as quality, time and cost. A successful project requires a balance of the three. A well detailed set of construction documents will allow contractors to bid on the same "scope of work," competitively, thereby saving time and money. Our documents solve thousands of questions and become the basis of a solid legal contract.
"I got lucky. I found Lynn on a website and he was the only one with all 5 stars...now I know why! He was so wonderful to work with; knowledgable, responsive, and patient as they come. He worked within my budgetary requirements and even recommended a builder that I decided to work with. I cannot say enough great things about Lynn and highly recommend him to anyone looking for the best architect! If I could give him 10 stars, I would!"

Architectural services FAQs
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.
