Page & Beard Architects PS

Unlike the other reviews, my wife and I had a completely different experience with Galen's service and would NOT recommend him to anyone. We lost a time sensitive building project largely due to Galen's lack of meeting deadlines (measured in multiple weeks not days) and his complete disconnect with the project entirely. You cannot rely on any of Galen's deadlines or that he will listen to your suggested changes and incorporate those changes into his drawings. It takes multiple revisions and explanations to get those updates meanwhile you are invoiced for his additional time to make those revisions. These missed deadlines and constant reminders caused undue stress and frustration with everyone involved. This ultimately led the builder and developer to completely back out. The worse part...this ALL ended up costing us over $130K in losses, including losing over $120K in a 1031 exchange, an additional $9K in increased land costs and 6K of incentives we lost from the developer's decision to no longer extend these incentives. We repeatedly tried to communicate what was at stake with Galen but he never expressed a sense of ownership nor did he accept any responsibility. Galen had plenty of opportunities to make it right and do the right thing due to his poor performance - but he chose to collect 100% of his project costs while everyone else lost a lot of money and time.

We had Galen come over to our house that needed remodeling. Galen was thoroughly professional from the first phone call till we got the proposal. He is a great listener and understood our requirements very well. After the appointment, he provided us a detailed proposal that covered all aspects of the remodel. I was truly impressed with the level of detail he covered in his proposal. We would have definitely signed with Galen however due to our timing constraints we couldn't move forward. I highly recommend Galen for your architecture needs!

Galen Page, a very positive impression of the way he represents the firm. Galen, has provided us with a detailed plan that captures exactly what we, the customer, have in mind. Prior to contacting the firm, a visual inspection of a project that Galen and a contractor have built in our neighborhood, it solidified our confidence that he is the right choice to take on our project.

creative, cooperative; go the extra mile to really understand the client and what they are trying to achieve. worked outstanding with the contractor team to function seamlessly as a team. We had a very enjoyable experience designing and building our home and Page & Beard was the primary reason for it. Working with a smaller firm gave us many advantages to get exactly what we wanted and we appreciated the extra effort they went to to insure our satisfaction. Outstanding firm and we highly recommend them.

We had never done a major remodel let alone built a house, but thanks to Page and Beard we were very successful with the design and building of our vacation home. We interviewed several architects and selected Page and Beard initially because they seemed not only to listen but to read between the lines of what we were trying to express. Our selection was reinforced by their body of work and rave reviews. They saw us through the design process, the selection of our contractor, the engineering, the design review process required by the resort where we built; and all the way through final design selections including material finishes, colors, lighting etc. They came out in snow and sub zero weather and crawled through crawl spaces and attics, they came in the scorching sun to inspect eaves and stonework and put together punch lists for the contractor and stood with us until the very last item was completed. We cannot say enough good things about this firm of talented, honest and hard working architects.

Phenomenal service from this small company of architects. From concept through to completion, this company delivered time after time. Even though my project was just a small remodel, they were very attentive, dealing with all issues including permitting through to contractor communications. At no point was I left scratching my head, wondering what was going on. I would not hesitate to recommend this company to anyone. Thanks Galen Page and all at Page & Beard!
