He is smart, communicative and very patient. He provides great feedback and is extremely knowledgable. I will be using him for future projections and have recommended him to other friends and colleagues. **Comment from Brewster's Drafting House:** > Thanks Kellen, can't wait to see the Kitchen remodel, hope you and the wife and kids enjoy! ### All 13 reviews **★★★★★ — Jackie W, July 2025** > We had such a great experience working with Brewster. He took the original plans from our new home purchase and worked with us to expand and customize them into the home of our dreams. He was incredibly fast and communicative, and what really stood out was how well he understood our vision from the very beginning. We barely needed any revisions because he just “got us.” Throughout permits and construction, he has continued to be responsive and helpful. On top of that, he's just simply a very kind person and a pleasure to talk with. We’re so grateful for his work and highly recommend him. **Comment from Brewster's Drafting House:** > Thanks Jackie! I would love to see everything once you're done over there! It's been my pleasure to work with you both, I appreciate the kind review! **★★★★★ — Shelly Carpenter, May 2025** > We’ve had a fantastic experience working with Brewster’s Drafting House on our kitchen and laundry room rebuild/remodel due to extensive smoke damage following a house fire. Although the project is still in progress, we’ve been so impressed every step of the way and couldn’t be more grateful for Brewster’s support during this challenging time. > > From day one, Brewster has been incredibly communicative, responsive, and professional. His turnaround time is quick, and the quality of his work is top-notch — thoughtful, detailed, and easy to work with. His pricing was straightforward and transparent — no surprise add-ons or changes as the project progressed, which has been a huge relief during a time when unexpected costs seem to pop up everywhere else. > > He’s also been an invaluable resource in helping us navigate conversations with our contractor, offering insight and support whenever questions arise. Having him in our corner has made the process feel so much more manageable. > > We highly recommend Brewster’s Drafting House and have already referred friends and family. If you’re looking for someone dependable, skilled, and genuinely invested in your project, Brewster is the one! **★★★★★ — Anchor Field Construction Inc., Nov. 2024** > I enjoy the ease of working with Brewster. He is creative, quick, and thoughtful in his designs. He has a good demeanor always remaining positive and ready to get to work. He is very responsive and has a good grasp on construction cost. **Comment from Brewster's Drafting House:** > Thanks Brandon, love working with you and your team at Anchor Field! **★★★★★ — gsr8, Nov. 2024** > Brewster is very easy to work with. We had a large number of small changes and refinements throughout the design process, and he was very accommodating. **★★★★★ — Nick Parisi, Nov. 2024** > I absolutely love working with Brewster.

We are so happy to recommend him to anyone looking for a talented architect that cares about the needs of his clients! **★★★★★ — hillrun1, May 2023** > Brewster did our design for our room addition over our garage. He did a great job and was ALWAYS on top of things, quick and incredibly pleasant to deal with. We made some change after determining that we didn't own a gold mine and he immediately made the changes and helped us throughout the process. > > There is no doubt, we would happily recommend him and we would use him again. **★★★★★ — Zack Baldwin, Aug. 2022** > If you are looking to have your project designed quickly with a great attention to detail at an affordable price, Brewster is your guy. We were extremely impressed with the detail he put into the design modeling effort on our home addition project. He accurately modeled our existing home which allowed us to carefully review the addition scope to confirm it was exactly what we were looking for. His response time was phenomenal and he was patient with our updates to put together an end product that easily passed through city permitting process in only 3 weeks. > > I highly recommend Brewster and will be bringing him our next project when the time comes. **Comment from Brewster's Drafting House:** > Thank you Zack (and Cassandra)! We flew through the city with your house, it was TOTALLY AWESOME! Hope you both enjoy the new space! **★★★★★ — Lisa Empey, Aug. 2022** > We worked with Brewster to completely redesign the interior of our 1969 Ranch Style house. I highly recommend Brewster for his professionalism, timeliness, and wonderful problem solving design. We needed to go back to him for a fairly large redesign due to the quoted costs of the renovation and he quickly and happily did this for us. He was a breath of fresh air during Covid-- he never made us feel like he was too busy for our job or that it was unimportant to him. Finally, he is very personable and was fun to work with! We had a successful, pleasant experience. Thank you Brewster! **Comment from Brewster's Drafting House:** > Thank you Lisa (and Morgan)! I loved designing your renovation! Hopefully you have some wonderful memories and get-togethers for football season this year! Can't wait to see when it's done! **★★★★★ — Mark Clarke, Aug. 2022** > Brewster helped design a complete renovation and addition of a 2,7,00 square foot home we purchased. His work was top notch, creative and practical. The first draft of the design was impressive. My wife and I were impressed with his willingness to listen and his understanding of our goals. Brewster was able to make tweaks in the design based on our feedback that was awesome. In addition, we greatly appreciated his prompt responses and clarity of communication. We would definitively use him again and highly recommend others to use him too. **Comment from Brewster's Drafting House:** > Thank you Mark (and Mary)! I know we had a lot of fun designing your home, and it was a blast to go through the design process with you guys! I appreciate the review! **★★★★★ — Jason Reidel, Aug. 2022** > Brewster was fantastic to work with! Extremely communicative and loved his collaborative creative process to bring things to life and make the most of the space we designed. Would highly recommend working with him. -Jason **Comment from Brewster's Drafting House:** > Thanks Jason (and Gorjana), was an absolute pleasure to work with you both, totally looking forward to seeing the finished house! **★★★★★ — David Michael Designs, Aug. 2022** > Brewster Drafting House is a GO-TO Choice for David Michael Designs, we have worked together for years now and he is one of the most responsive and clearly talented designers around. We have since worked on countless projects and I would highly recommend him time and time again. His work is fast, clean, sharp, and on budget. He is well versed in Lumion, and SketchUp as well as Chief Architect. I can not say enough good things here, it's a no-brainer choice. > > Our last client told me that he was so impressed with Brewsters 3D, that his wife was not sure how we had "Built" the house before we even completed the blueprints. She had thought the 3D designs were real..! > > \- Davis Micahel **Comment from Brewster's Drafting House:** > Thanks Dave! Love working with you and the great group of guys up in OC! ## Selected projects - [Canevaro Residence](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/canevaro-residence-pj-vj~7823221) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 200 - [Chegini Residence](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/chegini-residence-pj-vj~7702154) - Location: Newport Beach, CA - Photos: 34 - [Spyglass Hill](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/spyglass-hill-pj-vj~7033811) - Location: Kentfield, CA - Photos: 6 - [Tona Residence](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/tona-residence-pj-vj~7618092) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 20 - [Hunsacker Kitchen Remodel](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/hunsacker-kitchen-remodel-pj-vj~6984206) - Location: San Diego, CA - Photos: 40 - Description: We designed a new mid-century modern kitchen for our lovely client Elizabeth, and it turned out fantastic! Some really cool concepts in this kitchen from the T.V. rising from the countertop, to the blended island with dining table attached. The cabinet doors were a custom design built to recess back into the cabinetry for the island entertainment center, which helped blend the wood with the prep counter and throughout the rest of the kitchen. - [Design Process Conceptual Views](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/design-process-conceptual-views-pj-vj~7319466) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 24 - [Arigan Residence](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/arigan-residence-pj-vj~7735426) - Location: Rancho Cucamonga, CA - Photos: 7 - [Greathouse Project](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/greathouse-project-pj-vj~7319458) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 6 - [Lee Residence](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/lee-residence-pj-vj~7563320) - Location: San Diego, CA - Photos: 77 - [Shanks Residence](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/shanks-residence-pj-vj~7535902) - Location: Carlsbad, CA - Photos: 103 - Description: A home remodel, pool, and ADU addition to create a family home for the Shanks! - [McKeever Residence](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/mckeever-residence-pj-vj~7174753) - Location: Hayward, CA - Photos: 35 - [The Ramsey Residence](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/the-ramsey-residence-pj-vj~7018612) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 45 - [Duhaime Residence Remodel](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/duhaime-residence-remodel-pj-vj~6971173) - Location: Costa Mesa, CA - Photos: 74 - [The Sachs Residence](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/the-sachs-residence-pj-vj~6971202) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 72 - [Dover Project](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/dover-project-pj-vj~7319450) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 3 - [The Mullin Project](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/the-mullin-project-pj-vj~7319518) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 4 - [Walden Glen Master Bath Floor Plans](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/walden-glen-master-bath-floor-plans-pj-vj~7035545) - Location: Escondido, CA - Photos: 4 - [Hart Residence](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/hart-residence-pj-vj~7535911) - Location: San Diego, CA - Photos: 50 - Description: Remodel to add some 1st floor square footage and add a 2nd floor to an existing home in San Diego. - [The Keefner Residence Exterior](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/the-keefner-residence-exterior-pj-vj~6971196) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 14 - [Ben & Sheryl Imai](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/ben-and-sheryl-imai-pj-vj~6969839) - Location: Trabuco Canyon, CA - Photos: 78 [See all 51 projects](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/building-designers-and-drafters/brewster-s-drafting-house-pfvwus-pf~1388785406) --- *Source: Houzz professional profile.
