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.

Featured Reviews for Drafting Companies in Arlington

Transforming Architecture LLC
Drafting Companies in Arlington
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsMay 25, 2026
“Karen, Taina, and the entire Transforming Architecture team are delightful! As a first experience with a home addition of this magnitude, I didn't know what to expect and I was somewhat anxious about beginning the process. The TA team's professionalism, communication, creativity, and flexibility made the entire experience thoroughly enjoyable! I particularly appreciated the following: their Service Matrix from which I could select the level of design and support that best suited my needs; the flat fee structure for each phase of design (fees were payable only after each design phase was completed, and if for some reason the design was cancelled, no additional fees were due); my feedback regarding every component was carefully considered and incorporated; immediate responses to all communication from me; detailed construction documents for my personal records; recommendations of and meetings with three contractors from whom we chose the most compatible; continued support following project completion; and, possibly most importantly, their kindness, empathy, and flexibility as I coped with caring for a very fragile family member. Transforming Architecture created a gorgeous Sunroom addition with side deck; every detail is perfectly aligned with the existing structure. The design significantly improves room flow and outside access throughout entire ground floor. TA is highly recommended! I would use them again with confidence!”
KohlMark Architects and Builders
Drafting Companies in Arlington
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsSeptember 6, 2024
“We worked with Kohlmark to do an addition onto our house along with a renovation to our second floor (two bathrooms, flooring and paint for four bedrooms, light fixtures, ect). We had never done anything like this, and working with them made the process so much easier. Our project manager, Greg, was fantastic. Constant communication, weekly meetings and walkthroughs. Any problems that popped up were quickly resolved professionally and efficiently. The project was finished in a timely manner and once construction began the ball never stopped rolling. Would (and have!) recommend KohlMark to anyone and will use them again if we pursue anymore projects in the future. All the thanks to the team over at KohlMark we love our new and updated space!”

“My interior design firm, Barbara Hawthorn Interiors, Ltd, has had the pleasure of working with the team at James McDonald architects on two significant projects, 2021-2023. They are the consummate professionals. Their work product is thorough, thoughtful and creative. They have the rare ability to listen to the client's wishes, and translate those wishes into plans that not only meet esthetic objectives, but are also value engineered. I have teamed with architectural firms on projects for over 39 years, and I have only the highest praise for the professionalism and responsiveness of James McDonald Associate Architects, PC.
