Featured Reviews for Architects, Architecture Firms, & Building Designers in Aurora

D.G. Dunsmore Architect, P.C.
Architects, Architecture Firms, & Building Designers in Aurora
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsNovember 10, 2014
“Mr. Dunsmore was very instrumental in the design and build of our home in Baldwinsville, NY. We decided to have Dave draw up the plans to build our dream home after talking to many professionals. We gave Dave a list of our ideas, a basic plan we found on the internet and he put together a set of plans that that went above and beyond anything we dreamed of. I would recommend him to anyone that can use his various services. Dave was easy to work with and went the extra mile to make our build a very pleasant experience.”
Patrick Flynn, Architect
Architects, Architecture Firms, & Building Designers in Aurora
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsOctober 21, 2019
“Patrick listens carefully to people to understand what they are trying to do, and then he applies his extensive architectural experience to helping them turn their ideas into reality. We wanted to expand our 100 year old house while maintaining its character, and Patrick showed us good and bad examples of additions that had been done by others in our historic neighborhood in Corning. His design for the addition complemented our existing house without overpowering it. We received an award from the neighborhood association for the addition, thanks to Patrick's design. Patrick did a great job for us, and we enjoyed working with him.”

“I have been working with Beatriz in designing a new home for a few months. She has good ideas, listens to me and puts onto paper what I want and replies to emails and texts quickly. I am impressed with her professionalism and find her to be personable. I highly recommend her services.”
Hargrave Collaborative A & E
Architects, Architecture Firms, & Building Designers in Aurora
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsMarch 5, 2013
“I had the opportunity to work with Robin in a secondary educational setting. Through our connection I had the opportunity to become familiar with Robin's work and was able to see several examples of her previous work and recent projects. Robin's education and experience have allowed her to execute a diverse array of projects. Her personality and commitment, coupled with her knowledge, make her a joy to work with. She is concious of project time frames as well as budget constraints. She works diligently to provide designs that are functional, aesthetically pleasing and environmentally responsible.”
Carini Engineering Designs
Architects, Architecture Firms, & Building Designers in Aurora
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsApril 11, 2017
“I enjoy working on houses with Carini. On our most recent project I worked with Todd. They're very good at listening to the client, and providing drawings that capture the client's ideas for the interior and exterior elements. They also incorporate great design with the technical details that I need as a builder. Clients are always happy that they keep the budget in mind, their designs are beautiful, efficient and cost-effective.”
D.R. Long, Architect + Associates
Architects, Architecture Firms, & Building Designers in Aurora
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsMay 5, 2014
“Mr. Long took an old 1830s bank barn and made it into our home. The result is a 3,500 sq ft home that overlooks Seneca Lake in the New York State Finger Lakes region. Dan used many windows in his plan and almost every room has a view of the lake. Dan is an innovative and dynamic architect. He has a very wonderful personal style that brought our needs and desires to the forefront in his architectural plans. One could not help to notice that he is very versed in the latest building methods and materials. He does very well with cost estimates and worked with with us to provide varied courses of action so we might be better informed as to our options. Overall, our observation is that Dan Long is a true professional who treats each client and project as special no matter how big or small the job. I highly recommend Dan Long to any prospective client.”

“Eric was very professional and responsive. He met with me in person to go over my design requirements and followed up quickly with me. The drawings came back to me within a few days and my clients were very pleased. I would recommend EP Visualz to other contractors and will use him in the future on other projects.”
Donahoe Group
Architects, Architecture Firms, & Building Designers in Aurora
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsFebruary 23, 2016
“The Donahoe group designed our beautiful home. Seven years later they designed a downstair space for out of town guests, and now we have hired them for a garden room design. Why do we keep coming back? It's plain and simple, they take my ideas and turn them into something special! From start to finish it is Always a positive experience. Now the next generation in our family is a customer. Our son is having his house designed by the Donahoe group.”
Rod VanDerWater-Architect P.C.
Architects, Architecture Firms, & Building Designers in Aurora
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsJune 6, 2016
“Rod is an amazing architect. He has the ability to turn discussions into dream plans. Rod started designing our home about 15 months ago. He has been involved with the design and implementation of this plan. I not only would state Rod is a great architect, but also a very honest and trustworthy person. We will move into our dream home within a few months and can't praise Rod enough for the amazing design and constant communication. I have realized that the architect is the foundation to an amazing project. Without Rod, I am not sure how we would have gotten through the construction.”

“Rich Krapf has assisted us with a sign project and has been tremendously helpful not just in creating excellent design options, but in guiding us through considerations of cost and construction as well. Without reservation, I recommend Rich as a first-rate professional.”

Is the scope of your home design project beyond simply replacing countertops or flooring? It’s the responsibility of an Aurora home architect to transform human needs and desires into visual concepts and habitable structures. When you hire an architectural designer, you are not only hiring someone for their architectural services, but also to manage and coordinate other parties involved in the project. As you search through local Aurora, NY architectural firms and designers, keep in mind the following tips to help you choose the perfect one: 

How do I find the best Aurora residential design architect for my project?


It is best to hire a residential architect who will be involved in all phases of the design process, from the initial concept to the completed construction. They are often the first person you will hire for your project, and it's common for architects' contractors, or subcontractors, to prefer working with one another, which means better relationships and smoother work on your home. Interior architects are also involved in negotiating contracts for all involved participants, from builders, to engineers and even landscapers. It is for these reasons that it is extremely important for you to have a good relationship with the Aurora residential architect you hire. He or she can be the tie-breaking vote between you and the general contractor and can be your biggest advocate during the construction process. Different residential architecture firms in Aurora, NY provide different services, so the scope of the work can span from pre-design environmental impact studies to selecting furniture and finishes, depending on what your specific needs are.

Questions to ask prospective Aurora interior architects:


  • What is your fee structure?
  • What does the cost include?
  • Do you have professional liability insurance?
  • Can you handle my special requests (ADA, LEED etc.)?
  • What types of renderings (3D, video, illustrative) will you produce?
  • What is your experience with similar projects?
  • When do you expect to start and be finished with the project?
  • What do your services include? (It's best that the services are until construction is completed.)
  • What happens when the cost exceeds the budget?
  • Can you provide me with references?
  • Would you say your work has a defining style? (This is important in case the architect's personal style will interfere with your vision.)
  • Will you help with hiring a general contractor and subcontractors?
  • What do you estimate the cost will be?
  • What will I need to provide?
  • Are there any complications you foresee with this project?
