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 Philadelphia

k YODER design
Drafting Companies in Philadelphia
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsNovember 24, 2025
“We had a fantastic experience working with k YODER Design on our master bathroom and basement renovation. We worried that we would be too small a fish for this firm with our relatively small project and modest budget. This was not the case -- we were made to feel like a priority client throughout the lifecycle of our project. k YODER provided beautiful, functional designs that perfectly captured the style we were looking for. They were flexible with our adjustments and modifications despite the fact that we were on a tight timeline, and expertly managed communication with our contractor to make sure everyone stayed aligned and that any issues were quickly addressed. We highly recommend K YODER for anyone undertaking a complex home renovation who needs both expert design and strong project support!”
Jibe Design
Drafting Companies in Philadelphia
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsJune 6, 2025
“Juliet Whelan, the owner of Jibe Design, is wonderful to work with. She helped me renovate my small Philadelphia rowhouse. She fulfilled my dreams for my home, and then went beyond them. Juliet made things happen that others said couldn’t be done in my little space: skylights that brightened everything, floating, lighted shelves built into recesses so that I can grow my plants everywhere, an understated but stunning bathroom with brown teak, cream tiles and brass hardware. This was the exact look and vibe I wanted: modern but warm, polished but earthy, with a sense of nature. Juliet got me there. Renovating a home can be exhausting and nerve-wracking at every turn. But Juliet made the process calm and fun. She worked with my GC and the trades throughout to solve problems that came up. I loved sitting down with her to make all the decisions, from backsplash tile to towel rods. She showed me how each detail in the home added to the larger vision, and guided me through each choice. She kept both aesthetics and functionality in mind. My home not only looks beautiful, but also works so much better than it did before the renovation. She found ways to increase storage space! I can live clutter-free even in only 750 square feet. Juliet is a true artist. But she’s also remarkably level-headed and practical. She shows up, does what she says she’ll do, and her pricing was always clear up front. I cannot recommend her enough.”
LBK Design Build
Drafting Companies in Philadelphia
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsSeptember 26, 2023
“We choose LBK from a recommendation. Being both design and contractor, yo need to realize that things may run a little higher than just a straight contractor, but the choices their design team offered, as well as tailoring the products to what we thought, as well as getting us to think beyond the general everyday box, led to a really satisfying experience. From the start they were really something to watch as our second floor was totally renovated and updated. Like any large project there were the unexpected hiccups but LBK helped us through it all and did a terrific job. We are thrilled with the final product and our kids, and their families, really enjoy what has become of their old rooms and love staying over!”
