Home Remodelers in Bend

“Departure came out to our property after the 2013 Build-It-Green tour and talked to us about potential of building an ADU. A year later, we decided to move forward with building an ADU and again, contacted Dan Lajoie. He came out to our property with the notes and ideas discussed the previous year and was willing to spend a long time discussing our hopes for our ADU. He was able to take our ideas and create a beautiful space that works perfectly for us and our property. Throughout the beginning of the process Dan was available to answer our questions, he spent time sharing pictures and showing us ideas as well as meeting with us regularly to look at his progress. He always took our perspective into account and reworked some of the drafts to ensure we were getting what we wanted; but he also had fantastic ideas that we had not thought of and did a great job inserting his personal character into the project. Overall, we have been really impressed with Dan's patience and his ability to turn a small space into something so functional and beautiful.”

“Nick has been a pleasure to work with at every step of the process. Not only does he have great taste and obvious expertise, but he's also been incredibly patient as we work through our priorities for our house. Most importantly, he's 100% transparent about his role and the process—we have complete faith in Nick and would work with him again and again (if we ever have the opportunity to build another house).”

“We gave Viki Wooster a difficult project that must be done in two phases, and she created a design that met our criteria perfectly. She turned our rough ideas into a fully fleshed-out project that has us eager to start this spring. One of Viki's best qualities is that she is an excellent listener: her pleasant personality makes it easy to communicate. She is up-to-date on current codes & technologies, and she is a great problem solver. She has been readily available when we had the inevitable changes to our original ideas, incorporating them swiftly into the design. My husband & I could not be happier with our choice of Viki Wooster.”

“I have worked with Neal Huston and Associates many times for both commercial and residential projects, as an owner (end consumer) and as a third-party general contractor. NHA's work is timely, relevant, and cognizant of the client's needs and wants. I would highly recommend Neal Huston and Associates for any commercial or residential design.”

“We hired Michael to design plans for our remodel project at Black Butte Ranch. He made it easy! He brought our ideas to reality and offered suggestions as to most efficient and effective way to bring the project to reality. He held our hand during the ARC process. Thank you Michael!”

“As a licensed builder for over 38 years I was incredibly impressed with John's professionalism, knowledge and design ability ! I was referred to Evolution Home Design by one of his former employer's and I thank him every time I see him. I had purchased a lot on a hill and asked John to plot the house plan for me when he informed me the plan wouldn't fit on my lot. We worked together to design a home using the ideas of my original plan and new ideas from roof and siding to the details of interior finish. I have worked with several architect's in the past and am extremely happy I now have the last architect I will ever need.”

“My husband and I worked with HD Architecture to design and help build our retirement dream home. The project came with some challenges, in that we had a long list of must haves, a limited budget, and we, the homeowners, were 2,200 miles away from the home site for most of the project. I knew after meeting Gary Holbrook for the first time that he was the right architect for our job. In fact, we didn't interview anyone else, because his skill set and demeanor were such a good fit for our project. The residential design process is a great exercise and really makes you think about how you live and what you need and want. And what you think you need but don't. It is imperative that you trust and respect your architect. We were so fortunate to have that relationship with HD Architecture. Gary is a great listener and brings experience and expertise to the project that I know will serve us well as long as we live in our new home. HDA is a full-service firm, meaning Gary will work with you from the start of the design until building completion. That was imperative for us since we were building long-distance. It became evident shortly after construction began that Gary is also very skilled in the field and highly knowledgeable about construction. He also worked well with our builder, helping solve problem issues, while respecting our budget and looking out for our interests. Our new home has been a long-time dream, and, quite simply, we couldn't have realized it without him. I highly recommend the services of HD Architecture, Bend, Oregon.”

“Tom was hired to design our home, develop construction documents and construction administration. Tom worked with us consistently throughout the whole process. He was always available for consultations on very short notice. He sited the house perfectly on the property so we have fabulous views out almost every window. He also quickly found solutions for a few small problems encountered during the construction phase. Overall, he was great to work with, both personable and professional. He created a beautiful and very liveable home for us that we will enjoy for a long time to come.”

“Dave designed our new home. We wanted a very contemporary, energy efficient, single floor home. Dave designed it the Earth Advantage Platinum specs and we have the certificate and the extremely low energy costs to prove it. Dave is extremely easy to work with and was at the project often to insure that we got what we expected. I can very highly recommend him.”
