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 Minneapolis

Mainly Details Architectural Design, PLLC
Drafting Companies in Minneapolis
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsSeptember 26, 2018
“We have worked with Gregg Graton at Mainly Details on several of our home remodeling projects. These include a large home remodel/addition as well as smaller projects such as designing our laundry room and fireplace. Gregg is an excellent Architect. He worked with us from the very beginning on all of our projects. He listened our project goals and used his experience and knowledge to create a final product that exceeded our expectations. Gregg was very easy to work with and I would highly recommend working with Gregg at Mainly Details for any home project that you have. We could not be happier.”
McDonald Remodeling
Drafting Companies in Minneapolis
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsJune 27, 2013
“We had McDonald Remodeling consult and assist us with the interior design of our home. We also discussed various remodeling options as well to try and fully utilize our spaces. They were excellent communicators and made the process much easier for us. Without them we had been trying to figure out what to do for two years! Their level of service was great and came to our house on multiple occasions for consultations. It made a process that we began to dread, fun again. Our home is finally feeling like our own!”
Albertsson Hansen Architecture and Interior Design
Drafting Companies in Minneapolis
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsSeptember 21, 2012
“The firm visited my home and spent a few hours reviewing the addition design submitted by another firm. She was amazing. She measured everything and then sat down to draw. In only a few short hours she had corrected all of the problems in the design and made so many improvements to it that I could not keep track. We were able to incorporate most of the changes without significantly increasing the cost of the project and we ended up with a house that is on a whole different scale than the one the original addition plan would have provided. If we had more time and they had more availability, we would have hired this firm to design and supervise construction of the entire project.”
