Site Planning Companies in Sacramento

“Over the past 18 months or so, we’ve hired Sandra for several design projects and plan sets for our home in El Dorado County, including a complex addition with a new primary and bath in addition to a sizeable detached garage with staircase to overhead storage. For every project, she contributed creative ideas and thoughtful details we never would have imagined on our own. Her attention to detail was truly exceptional. The addition involved a full kitchen expansion, an amazing utility area (with even a dog bath!), a second primary suite and overall remodel of other areas, while adding over 1,200 sq ft to our current home . The way she designed and organized those spaces were both smart and beautiful. Sandra communicated clearly throughout the entire process and genuinely took the time to understand our priorities and how we live. We also trusted her to manage the permitting process with EDC, and everything was approved on the first submission with no revisions needed. We did not have to communicate with the planning department, she did all that. She provided excellent referrals for engineering, grading, and geo work, along with several contractors for bidding. She coordinated seamlessly with everyone involved, making the whole process much easier for us. We also had her work on things in addtion to the contracted projects which she did at an hourly add on rate we found reasonable. Sandra really took care of everything, and we’re thrilled with her designs, her plans, and the final outcome. Even better, we gained a friend along the way. She’s truly wonderful to work with. :)”

“Last year, we began a project to add some additional living space under our existing home. We found a designer and then obtained bids from three different contractors including HouseIdea. We narrowed the choice down to two and ultimately chose HouseIdea because the owner, Vall, confidently explained how they would install the new beams that were essential to supporting the existing house. Vall was personally involved from the beginning. He made some excellent suggestions that would utilize our space more efficiently. For example, he suggested moving the door to the bathroom to another wall as the original design would cause us to lose usable space in the living room area. He noted that our siding should be replaced since there was no moisture barrier in the original construction done almost 40 years ago. Vall listened to us and also helped us to redesign the kitchen and bedroom. All of his suggestions resulted in a better outcome for us. His on-site team, led by the Project Manager (Toni) were always helpful, friendly and professional. They always showed up on time and worked a full day, leaving the jobsite clean and safe. They listened to our numerous questions and patiently answered all of them. The bottom line is that the final product is outstanding and exceeded our expectations. This addition has undoubtedly increased the value of our home, and more importantly provides the additional utility space that we were seeking. I highly recommend this company to anyone seeking quality craftsmanship at a reasonable price.”

“This review is way over due, but even with the years that have past we cannot forget about Chris and the beautiful house he designed for us. Chris has a brilliant eye and vision once you explain to him what you are hoping for. We told Chris an overall idea of what we envisioned our house to be and within a week he had a near perfect design of our home. The tweaks we wanted were very minor and given back to Chris and he was right back to us with exactly what we expected. If you are looking for a mastermind to complete your dream home, Chris is your future architect.”
