Bretthauer Design Studio

He seems professional on the first meetings until he grabs your deposit...then poof...nothing happens. After a year of no action he promised to refund my money and that was just a complete lie. I have my attorney now on this seeking punitive, interest, and fraud damages as well as the complete refund. Save yourself the headache and stay away from this scam artist Craig Bretthauer.

Craig Bretthauer is one of the best Architects in San Diego County. He has designed several homes for me and has also helped very recently with a remodel design for a Cottage in Coronado. Craig is not only extremely knowledgeable about State and City building codes but also about local design requirements. He is very efficient and is a delight to work with. He really listens to what his Client's requirements and works collaboratively with his Clients to design the perfect Home. I would highly recommend Bretthauer Design Studio! Gretchen McCoy

We worked with Craig of Bretthauer Design Studio for the architecture redesign and plans for the remodel of our 1914 + several previous remodels home. Craig was easy to work with and came up with just the right solutions to meet our desires for home with traditional style and an open floor plan. We are very happy in our new home and appreciative of the ideas that Craig designed.

I highly recommend Bretthauer Design Studio. Craig was professional, creative and he listened to all our requests. We got exactly what we wanted and more. Craig has a great vision. He had so much patience explaining his vision to the contractor. He was always right. I am happy to be contacted for any questions about my very positive experience with Bretthauer Design. I would use them again for any project.

I hired Craig to help me with a "granny flat" we needed to build for my mom. He worked directly with my mom to figure out what she wanted and created a wonderful design. My mom loved him, and enjoyed the whole process, which was super important to me. Then he worked with the contractors to ensure it was built according to plan. My mom loved her new home! After mom passed away we hired Craig again to design the entire remodel of our home and he came through with flying colors once again. He created a design that truly reflected exactly what we wanted our home to look like, and designed a floor plan that opened up the whole house and made it so comfortable to live in and entertain friends in. Once again, he participated in the actual building process to ensure the plans were properly implemented. We could not be happier with his work and attention to detail. I've referred Craig to several of my friends and colleagues.
