He really listened to what we wanted & made suggestions. He gave us honest feedback on where to cut costs & less expensive options. He responded to all of our inquiries promptly & was flexible with our schedules. I would definitely recommend him. We hope to complete our project in October of 2020. **★★★★★ — HU-886891322, Dec. 2019** > I’ve worked with ADS designs since they started in business. The knowledge and experience of building products, structural components and floor plan design are so very important. This company is my go to for building project design. **★★★★★ — Paramount Construction, Feb. 2019** > Tony is easy to work with, and so are his plans. The details on the drawings are something I can really appreciate. **★★★★★ — Jaime Schultz-Ludenia, Oct. 2018** > Great to work with. Very open minded and willing to figure out solutions for your ideas. Highly recommend. Very thorough and fair pricing. Would use again. **★★★★★ — Kristin Vonnegut, Oct. 2018** > I really enjoyed working with Tony. He looked at the kinds of houses I liked, then worked to design one that would fit our land and our budget. I've made several changes over the time we worked together and Tony always responded to my questions, concerns and changes of mind with equanimity and efficiency. > I'd absolutely recommend Tony. **★★★★★ — Beth Mann, Oct. 2018** > ADS is a wonderful company to work with as Tony is very responsive to his client's ideas and puts them into a plan that is detailed for contractors to work with. He was always willing to come out to our location go back and change something after the fact. **★★★★★ — Eric Casperson, Jan. 2018** > Easy to work with - took our ideas and created a great plan for our cabin home. Cost was reasonable and was readily available as we made changes. **★★★★★ — Nikki K, Jan. 2018** > ADS Designs was recommended to us from our brother in-law who is a builder who worked with Tony on his own home remodel. Tony was very professional from the time we first contacted him through receiving our final plans. Timing was always communicated clearly and responses were always prompt. Our project entailed a large addition and complete main level remodel. Tony was great on learning our unique families needs and proposing very innovative solutions. I would highly recommend working with ADS Designs! **★★★★★ — Anna Lawler, Dec. 2017** > Tony was able to hear our ideas and design our dream home. He was very prompt with all his communication and and he worked with us until we had the design just right. I would highly recommend him! **★★★★★ — M&E Fussy, Dec. 2017** > This is a long overdue review of ADS Design! > We hired Tony after our former home designer dropped the project in the middle of the design process--it was a nightmare and we had to start all over. Tony made this transition easy. > > We had many ideas and Tony was able to take the essence of our ideas synthesize them into a final home design. I can't overemphasize how important it is for an architect that can take your ideas and make them manageable and cost-effective--and we feel we obtained that with Tony. He listened well to us and worked timely on our project. > > He was very very very professional and we are thankful for his guidance during this process. I would not hesitate to recommend him to others and would hope people would choose to work with him. **★★★★★ — Nicholas Bjornberg, Dec. 2017** > Tony did a fantastic job of listening to our wants and needs and incorporating them into a highly functional layout and design. The drawings were top notch and all of the contractors complimented the level of detail in his drawings. We couldn't be more happy with our new home and couldn't have done it without Tony's expertise and knowledge. **★★★★★ — halesrock55, Sept. 2017** > Tony was so incredibly helpful to me in our pursuit of building an addition on our house. His communication and follow up skills are impeccable and made me really feel like a valued customer from the beginning. I would highly recommend him to anyone and everyone without hesitation! ## Selected projects - [Amazing rambler/ranch style home](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/amazing-rambler-ranch-style-home-pj-vj~997914) - Location: Cold Spring, MN - Photos: 3 - [Custom River home](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/custom-river-home-pj-vj~992782) - Location: Rice, MN - Photos: 5 - [Amazing transformation](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/amazing-transformation-pj-vj~997908) - Location: Saint Stephen, MN - Photos: 5 - [A little bit Craftsman style](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/a-little-bit-craftsman-style-pj-vj~997899) - Location: Sauk Rapids, MN - Photos: 9 - [Expansive deck](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/expansive-deck-pj-vj~992792) - Location: Avon, MN - Photos: 4 - [lake home with some of it past incorporated](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/lake-home-with-some-of-it-past-incorporated-pj-vj~992799) - Location: Cold Spring, MN - Photos: 5 - Description: This client wanted to incorporate their family cabin that they would be tearing down into their new retirement lake home, so we used some of the original wood flooring and walls on the ceiling and other areas. - [Wooded lot home design](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/wooded-lot-home-design-pj-vj~154653) - Location: Saint Stephen, MN - Photos: 3 [See all 7 projects](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/architects-and-building-designers/ads-designs-pfvwus-pf~436597646) ## Ideabooks - [another idea](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/29935083/list/another-idea) — 13 ideas - [pergola ideas](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/29935057/list/pergola-ideas) — 5 ideas - [stone & f.p.](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/60931295/list/stone-f-p) — 8 ideas - [Elegant 2 story home](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/7046900/list/elegant-2-story-home) — 4 ideas - [Craftsmen style home](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/7046593/list/craftsmen-style-home) — 5 ideas [See all 5 ideabooks](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/users/adsdesigns) --- *Source: Houzz professional profile.
