Jessica Lehrbaum Architect
Garage Designers in Santa Margarita
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsJuly 16, 2017
“We had no idea how wonderful it could be to have an architect's help until we met Jessica. We felt listened to and like she really took the time to hear an understand our project. When we called Jessica (at the suggestion of our realtor) for help in remodeling the kitchen in the house we were purchasing, we had no idea what a gift she would be! Not only is she excellent with all the design details and measurements and everything else an architect is supposed to do, but she was able to help us with materials and think outside the box to accomplish our goals in creative ways. Jessica also helped us tie in the look and feel of our kitchen/dining room to our front outdoor space and thought of other details we wouldn't have even considered. Jessica was professional and easy to work with, she was gracious and even able to understand/communicate well with both my husband and me and help us figure out what we wanted. We are so thankful we found such a great Architect in SLO!!”

Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsJanuary 17, 2018
“We hired Gannage Design for our Morro Bay house remodel and would hire them again in a second. From the very first meeting you know you are in good hands, they take the them time to listen and to really understand the project. From concept to design to construction, this is by far the BEST team around!”

“My husband and I are remodeling both of our bathrooms, and want to open up our kitchen area so it works better with the layout of our house. Marcus has been working with us and he's been fantastic. Even though it is just a remodel, he's given us so many great ideas to tie the whole house together, as well as help us understand what is worth spending money on for the long run, and where we could save. He's making the process really fun and exciting, and I can't wait to live in a house that is finally well designed and perfectly us. Also, he lives is San Luis Obispo, CA and we live in Santa Cruz, which I thought might be a problem when it came down to meeting one on one, but he was very flexible and has been shooting up to meet with us multiple times bringing beautiful sketches of ideas, or examples of materials for us to look at. I hightly recommend him for big or small projects. He's truely a professional.”

“I worked with CRSA several years ago on some development projects. Craig and his team did a great job with the design and working drawings. Always a pleasure to work with them. Craig's superior sense of humor was a bonus. Looking forward to working with CRSA again in the future.”

“Nina did an amazing job with the design of our kitchen and dining room! She went back and forth with us and our cabinet maker working on the design until it was both functional and up to code. She rearranged the locations of our sink, making it centered to the window, and moved the refrigerator and pantry away from the stove. She also designed an entire display wall for us in the dining space. She made our tiny kitchen/dining area look modern and spacious! I recommend her to anyone looking into remodeling!”

“I personally hired Gary F. Harcourt and team after interviewing several architects in the San Louis Obispo county I live in. As a self employed contractor building a 3800 sqft dream home with a 2000 sqft workshop for my wife and family, I wanted to hire the best. Gary was and is that best. From day one at interview, Gary outshined others by his confidence and positive enthusiastic love for his career and for our dream project that brought a steady peace and joy throughout the process. His recomendations and ideas due to his proven knowledge and experience helped us to save a lot of money. Overall I am very satisfied. I recently had another general contractor compliment how well done his plans are. You will be in good hands with his team.”

“Rick Low helped us design and draft a fairly complicated set of plans for a major addition to our house. We were very happy with not only the service he provided, but also for the creative suggestions and open communication. We highly recommend Associated Development Services Corporation!”
Bryce Engstrom: Architect
Garage Designers in Santa Margarita
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsJune 4, 2012
“Bryce is a highly creative architect who is also very open to the homeowner's ideas. We knew what we wanted (a contemporary Craftsman), but the site was small and on a hill, so it was somewhat difficult to make things fit. Bryce came up with an alternative design that allowed us to have the amount of square footage we needed, but still get the look we wanted. He was also able to maximize the view for us. I very much appreciated the way he'd listen to our ideas, show us a rough design, then make his own suggestions that were invariably better choices for us. We have now lived in our new house for two years and absolutely love it!”

“Peter is a local architect and affiliated with the AIA Central Coast Chapter (currently on the board of directors). He has a great taste in design and has many great projects under his belt. I was fortunate enough to receive a personal tour of his Salmon Residence project recently. After seeing what he had done with this project, my appreciation for residential architecture truly heightened. This home is definitely one of my top favorite buildings in San Luis Obispo. The details on this building are incredible, and the interior spaces are unique and ravishing. Besides his designs however, Peter is a really down to earth person and very easy to talk to. He is nice, charming, and very well knowledgeable in his trade. Working with him is always wonderful, and I would recommend him in a heartbeat.”

“Beautiful designs and a hard working team of professionals. Steve is a great guy who spearheads every job. Meeting with each client and providing the creative and innovative designs that have made him so popular. As owner of Norholm Builders, Inc. I have worked with Steve several times on some of the most beautiful custom homes on the central coast. My client base is mostly retirees who want to build their last and best home, so you have to get it right this time. That's why I recommend Steve Puglisi as your designing architect. The first home I did with Steve, back in 1997, was for Cliff Branch at Bassi Ranch in Avila Beach.”

Architect or Building Designer FAQs
The duration of a garage design project can vary significantly based on the projectʼs complexity, the chosen materialsʼ availability, and whether the design includes construction or renovation. Typically, designing and planning can take anywhere from 2-4 weeks, with the construction phase ranging from 1-6 months. Your Garage Designer can offer a more accurate timeline once the scope of work is fully outlined.
Garage Designers frequently attend industry trade shows, participate in professional development courses, and subscribe to leading design publications to stay informed about the latest materials and trends. They prioritize materials that are durable, low maintenance, and suit the projectʼs aesthetic and functional needs. Sustainable and smart technologies are also increasingly popular, reflecting the growing demand for eco-friendly and efficient designs.
Homeowners should start by defining their goals for the space, such as whether they need more storage, a workspace, or an additional living area. Itʼs helpful to have a budget in mind and any inspirational images that reflect your style and functional needs. Additionally, knowing the dimensions of your current garage and having a basic understanding of any restrictions set by local zoning laws or homeownersʼ associations will facilitate a more productive initial consultation.
Experienced Garage Designers are adept at navigating challenges such as spatial limitations, budget constraints, and compliance with local building codes. They leverage creative problem-solving to maximize space, suggest alternatives to stay within budget, and ensure the design meets all legal requirements. Effective communication and transparency throughout the process help mitigate any issues, ensuring a smooth project flow from conception to completion.
When integrating smart technology, consider usability, security, and how the technology can enhance the garageʼs functionality. Discuss with your Garage Designer about incorporating smart garage door openers, climate control systems, or vehicle charging stations. Itʼs essential to ensure your homeʼs existing technology is compatible and that the design accommodates any necessary wiring or installations without compromising aesthetics or space efficiency.
Yes, Garage Designers can often assist with the permit process, either by providing the necessary drawings and documentation for homeowners to submit or by managing the submission and approval process on their behalf. Their understanding of local building codes and regulations ensures that designs are compliant, minimizing the risk of delays or penalties. Always confirm with your designer about the extent of their services regarding permits and legal requirements.
