Nearby Architecture Firms in San Francisco

Rob is a creative architect who brought great knowledge and ideas to our project and saw it through at every stage until completion

I own a home that’s a historic building and they were able to transform my space in just a few short days from old, ugly, and boring to new and modern! They were very accommodating and the quality of their work is very impressive! I had a very specific design in mind and they were able to work with me to achieve it. Gideon was responsive and easy to communicate with, and the team did amazing work on site. They tore down walls installed new cabinets, lighting, rewired electricity, fireplace, opened up the wall to allow space for an addition, a bigger window to add more sunlight and more. Gideon’s professional knowledge and guidance contributed greatly in completing the project to my satisfaction. The house was complete in 4 weeks! I have recommended Everlast Construction to many people already and will continue in doing so.

I evaluated 3 firms. The two others submitted very detailed quotes that sounded higher than I expected. R E Hinson looked at the project, and gave a straightforward number. It was not that complex a job and he didn't waste a lot of time in paperwork or justification. His quote seemed seasonal. He has over 30 years experience and was highly recommended by the builder I selected and a customer in my neighborhood where he had done work before.

We liked him of all the people whom we contacted. He is very positive and communicates very well. He is responsive and is very open. He might be a bit late, but that is not a big deal.

We wanted to modernize our 1941 year old Sausalito home, a house that had had two minor remodels over the years. After interviewing several Architects we hired Andy Morrall as our Architect for our project, which included remodeling, plus an addition. We made the right choice and were rewarded with a Design beyond our expectations, and meeting our criteria. Andy's honesty and willingness to share his professional opinion gained our trust early in the process. My husband and I were very impressed not only with Andy's communication ability, but also with his quick grasp of what we wanted. Plus, his enthusiasm for the project was unmatched, constantly tapping into his creativity as an Architect to find solutions. Andy began his thorough Design process with us by listening to our wish list. He then interpreted and offered solutions that displayed a level of creativity we didn't expect, integrating our remodel seamlessly into our older home. Also gaining our trust was Andy's consistent level of work and high level of technical expertise. There were many details that he offered that we had not even imagined. Examples include: 1.) Interpreting the open cathedral ceiling in our main Living Space and bringing those details and materials up a notch to make this a feature in the Sitting Area addition; 2.) Listening to our concerns with our Entry and offering a translucent exterior Entry trellis that can be up lit at night; 3.) Tying in the Entry trellis design with the Sitting Room Addition; 4.) Addressing our existing staircase, creating a balconied opening that brings light between the two levels. Additionally and importantly, Andy has been with us every step of the way, gathering preliminary estimates from Contractors with whom he had worked, giving us the opportunity to fit the project to our budget, providing assistance on interior finish selection, doing his homework with the city to ensure our project met the city's planning code, and providing a voluminous set of construction documents to bid and build from. Andy is currently assisting us with the Bid and permit phase of our project and will continue with us throughout the project. Continually, he has worked hard for us, extending well beyond our expectations. We feel confident that because we hired Andy our home will be the modernized home we wanted; one that is exemplify with beautiful Architecture. We enthusiastically recommend Andy Morrall as your Architect.

DESIGNING A HOME CAN BE TRAUMATIC AND THIS WAS THE CASE. THE ARCHITECT DID A GOOD JOB, AND A TIMELY JOB, BUT IN THE END COST MUCH MORE MONEY THAN I ANTICIPATED. THE HOUSE IS SPECTACULAR. TYPICALLY ARCHITECTS COST AROUND 10% FOR SERVICES ALL THE WAY THROUGH CONSTRUCTION AND FINISH SELECTIONS. I STOPPED USING THE ARCHITECT WHEN BUILDING DEPARTMENT APPROVAL WAS OBTAINED BECAUSE OF THE COST INVOLVED.

While polite, architect was and quot;aggressiveand quot; and resistant to our more deliberate approach. We also had an unexpected health-related delay, which resulted in architect terminating agreement, despite our explanation. As a result, we paid for those services rendered, although not near complete. We would not use this architect's services in the future.

We selected John Lum because of the exceptional designs we saw on Houzz. We are exceptionally impressed with the quality of the design, knowledge of various codes, and the materials/surface selection. Bret Walters, our architectural lead, is quite exceptional. He is easy to work with, very talented, and thoughtful about the designs. They've been very flexible about allowing me to source things or meet with the town for the permits in order to minimize the expense (something many architects are not reasonable about overall)l. We are really enjoying this relationship, and are planning to use them again for a larger extension to the house next year.

He was very nice, responsible and responsive when he gave us the quote on time as promised. It was a great experience, since he is a people friendly person and also seemed professional and accommodating.

The receptionist was professional. She connected me to a manager named Erik. What Erik said made sense, but the way he said it was very condescending. He said that he would be able to give a quote after I get the blueprint prepared by an architect and approved by the city. When I asked him if I could have his company's architect's contact information, he kept saying 'it is not free.' I have always understood that an architect's services are never free. When I explained that I would like the architect's contact information so I could look up his/her reviews, he said in a rude way that he would not give the information. It is probably his company's policy, but he could have said it in a polite way.

Steve Grote did an excellent job. He is very knowledgeable, especially working within the city. He is very thorough and an excellent architect.

A THOROUGHLY IMPRESSIVE EXPERIENCE. THESE ARCHITECTS ARE TOPS IN THEIR TRADE. THEY DO ELEGANT WORK, & HAVE DONE SOME OF THE MOST STYLISH RESIDENTIAL JOBS IN THE BAY AREA.

He was very thorough, patient and generous with his time, work and overall care that you understood the material.In the course of teaching he also showed us his professional work, and as a architect myself I thought it was thoroughly competent.

She is a great architect. She does fantastic work and she is very gifted. She is a treasure to work with. She is really fantastic and we have recommended her to others.

THEY DID A TERRIFIC JOB DESIGNING OUR DECK. WE LOVED THE RESULT IN A DIFFICULT SPOT. I HAVE OBSERVED AW ARCHITECT'S WORK WITH OTHER FAMILY'S HOME REMODELS. THEY DO OUTSTANDING WORK.

We contacted several architects from Angie's List and chose to work with Jace because we liked the way he approached the project. He is organized, knowledgeable and detailed.

ELLIS SCHOICHET IS AN EXCELLENT ARCHITECT, WHO NOT ONLY PROVIDED CREATIVE SOLUTIONS TO DESIGN ISSUES BUT ALSO CAREFULLY MANAGED THE CONSTRUCTION PROCESS TO RESOLVE UNANTICIPATED ONE-OFF PROBLEMS AS THEY AROSE.

We started working with Andy as the Architect for our project last Summer. Andy presented several design options and was able to come up with some very innovative design concepts for a very challenging existing kitchen Layout. Andy's design for the 3 story addition had some fine detail and provided a very nice Work Out Room, Breakfast Room, Sun Room and Roof Deck. The submittal process proved challenging, since we needed to attain a variance and address some neighborhood opposition to the project. Andy was experienced in drafting the findings for the Variance and responded convincingly to the neighbor's concerns. We were awarded the variance with the design intact. Andy was helpful in the Contractor selection and reviewed and advised us on the awarding of the bid to the Contractor. Andy has been responsive and prompt during the construction process and has been available for site visits and the Contractor's questions. We strongly recommend Andy Morrall, Architect.

THEY WERE GREAT. THEY HAD VERY GOOD IDEAS AND THEY LISTENED TO WHAT OUR NEEDS AND WANTS WERE. I WANTED A FEW THINGS FOR SURE AND THEY MADE IT HAPPEN, EVEN THOUGH IT DID NOT SEEM AS THOUGH IT WOULD FIT IN TO THE DESIGN THEY MADE, IT WORKS FOR US.

He was professional. When he came, he listened. It was a good experience. I will definitely call him again. He was easy to work with, and he explained my options.
