My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

We hired Ron Brenner Architects to design a front porch to add on to our newly purchased house in Stillwater. Ron came to our house to discuss the project and take measurements, and delivered above and beyond what we expected. We were thrilled with the design (including 3D renderings that let us really visualize our options), but he also made specific recommendations on what decking, railing, and column material to use, and recommended several local builders to us. Great experience and we will definitely call Ron again next time we need an architect!

We have had the honor of working with Ron Brenner Architects on multiple projects. Ron and his team are very creative, collaborative, and a pleasure to work with! Their designs are one of a kind, and carefully laid out. Working with them is a pleasure as they patiently work through the details and listen to dreams of each client. We highly recommend Ron Brenner Architects to anyone looking for design around their new home or major renovation.

We hired Ron to design our new home, from concept to detailed schematic design. He took our vision & ideas and turned them into something better than we envisioned. He also prepared a 3D virtual walkthrough of the designs which was a significant help for us to visualize how various design elements fit together and the impacts of changes to elements. We would hire Ron again if we needed an architect & recommend him without reservation.

I have had the pleasure of working with Ron on two projects. In 2006, he designed a commercial building for my company. This summer (2013), he designed our beautiful home. I highly recommend Ron and I look forward to working with him on future projects! Amy

I would highly recommend Ron, we had a great overall experience. He quickly grasped our "vision" and brought it to life in a variety of options. His responsiveness is "high" as was his flexibility. He kept us on track and on time/budget through out the process. He helped us lead a fair and effective bid process with a number of builders. He provided the recommendations so the experience was very much turnkey. He has a strong collaborative style, great listening skills, and managed us well through the process. He advised us well on where to value engineer, and on what we needed to protect. We were newbies to the process as this was our first home building project. He was referred to us by a friend.

Ron designed our house and we are extremely happy with the results. He listened well to our thoughts and requests. I think he offered a tremendous value relative to other architects. We would definitely work with him again.

My husband and I love Ron Brenner! He designed our home for us in 2008; we completed construction in 2009 and have been thrilled with it ever since. Ron has great ideas and is clearly passionate about his craft. Our experience with him was so fantastic that my mom worked with him to build her new house this year. She also thinks he's amazing! Interesting roof lines, smart use of space, and brilliant design are just a few things Ron excels at. We couldn't give him a higher recommendation.

My husband and I purchased a set of garage plans from Ron after researching many architects and plans. The garage is a two storey, 3 car garage with a 900 square foot rental suite, so it's a large project for us. We have nearly completed the garage and suite and are thrilled with the style of the building and quality of plans. When we had questions from our municipality when plans were submitted Ron spent extra time with us to help ensure we had the correct information. We hope to build a house within the next year and will undoubtedly return to Ron for plans. We would recommend Ron to anyone looking for home or building plans.

I highly recommend Ron Brenner Architects. I currently live in a Ron Brenner designed home, and the home we moved out of was also designed by Ron. He has an amazing ability to create homes that have the character of timeless, traditional architectural, but he interprets the design in a fresh and modern way. His floorplans provide open and functional spaces that are cleverly defined by the use of beautiful architectural elements. Ron is also a master at window design and placement, which I believe is so important in good architecture. Most importantly, Ron is a person of great character. He is kind, generous, professional, and so flexible to work with.

Ron was able to take our basic vanilla floor plan and come with an architectural rendering that was exactly what we were looking for. He has a knack adding just the right details and for producing wonderful 3-D renderings so that you know exactly what your house will look like from all angles. He listened to what we wanted and was able to reproduce that into the perfect house plan for us. I would definitely recommend Ron. And you don't have to live Minnesota. We live in Alabama and were able to do everything by email and dropbox.

Ron Brenner designed and produced all of the architectural drawings for our new home in Lake Elmo, MN. My family could not have been more pleased with the design process and the final work product. Ron did a great job of offering his advice and guidance throughout, while still taking blending in our ideas and concepts. We ended up with a home that is not only eye appealing inside and out, but also very functional for our family. Additionally, Ron and his wife made the design stage a very fun and exciting part of our home build. I would highly recommend Ron Brenner to anyone looking for a quality architect.
