Featured Reviews for Architects, Architecture Firms, & Building Designers in Harwood Heights

James Michael Vanderheyden
Architects, Architecture Firms, & Building Designers in Harwood Heights
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsApril 29, 2015
“My husband and I were very happy with James' work for us which included architectural work for our master bedroom and bathroom and our kitchen. Our Oak Park home is a 1906 gem and we wanted to keep the integrity of detail yet become more livable. Both projects included moving walls; designing wooden details--windows to cabinets--that reflected detail in the rest of the house; placing weight-bearing beams to support ceilings and roof; redesigning stairs to basement and back yard, etc. Vanderheyden is a good listener and a solid architect/designer. He worked well with both our contractor and kitchen designer to improve and carry out our designs. We give him 5 stars. Linda and John Hillman”
Burhani Design Architects

Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsOctober 4, 2019
“It has been great to work with Shabbir Chandabhai at Burhani Design. He has designed and executed on two buildings we own in Chicago, coming up with a design that enhanced the rental units in the properties. Management of the construction and renovation was great as well. Would highly recommend this company.”

Allegretti Architects, Inc.
Architects, Architecture Firms, & Building Designers in Harwood Heights
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsJuly 28, 2013
“We interviewed 3 architects and chose John Allegretti based on his previous work and enthusiasm for our specific project. We wanted to go from a 1-1/2 story, 2 bedroom, 1-1/2 bath to something more. Our lot size is 33 x 132 ft. which isn't much to work with. Our location on lake Michigan's Silver Beach is extremely desirable but our home was not allowing us to take full advantage of available views. John created a full second story complete with a master suite (bedroom, bath and living area) and walk out second floor deck. This deck offers privacy and another beach view perspective. We now have expansive views throughout our home. (John used glass railings throughout.) We ended up with a more spacious home than we had envisioned. John also presented our project to the local planning commission (we needed variances), and remained engaged throughout the project which was a big help to us. We would work with John Allegretti and his associates again.”
Michael Menn Ltd.
Architects, Architecture Firms, & Building Designers in Harwood Heights
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsJanuary 31, 2013
“Michael Menn designed and constructed with the help of his experienced pool of subcontractors the kitchen of my dreams in an older home that I love for both its tradition and its memories. It is a pleasure for me to come down in the morning to a space so much in keeping with the style of our home and offering me at the same time all that is in modo contemporary for the our time. Michael Menn is a gentleman who honors his word amd his contractural agreements. He was always available to me and responded promptly to any and all concerns or questions that I may have had. Michael is in addition someone with whom one could easily make a lasting friendship. I would not hesitiate for a minute to recommend him to others nor to contact him for any future projects that I had in mind.”
Jason Meyering Architecture
Architects, Architecture Firms, & Building Designers in Harwood Heights
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsAugust 13, 2018
“I have worked with Jason for the past 10 years on a wide variety of projects and he is an incredible architect! He has the perfect balance of design ingenuity and technical savvy that many design professionals lack. His strengths lie in his ability to creatively solve complex design issues and develop clever solutions that are beautiful and timeless. Beyond that, Jason is the hardest working architect I have ever known. He will work night and day to achieve the optimal design solution aesthetically, while adhering to time frame, build-ability and budget. Don't think twice and hire Jason.”

Turn Collaborative
Architects, Architecture Firms, & Building Designers in Harwood Heights
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsNovember 19, 2014
“As a designer, I was able to work with Paul Benigno from Turn Collaborative on a complete gut rehab of an 1880's home on a double lot in a landmark district in Chicago. Paul was great to work with from every facet - creative and thoughtful, with a broad and deep knowledge of construction. I highly recommend working with him and hope to have the opportunity to work with him again in the near future!”

As you search through local Harwood Heights, IL architectural firms and designers, keep in mind the following tips to help you choose the perfect one: 

How do I find the best Harwood Heights residential design architect for my project?


It is best to hire a residential architect who will be involved in all phases of the design process, from the initial concept to the completed construction. They are often the first person you will hire for your project, and it's common for architects' contractors, or subcontractors, to prefer working with one another, which means better relationships and smoother work on your home. Interior architects are also involved in negotiating contracts for all involved participants, from builders, to engineers and even landscapers. It is for these reasons that it is extremely important for you to have a good relationship with the Harwood Heights residential architect you hire. He or she can be the tie-breaking vote between you and the general contractor and can be your biggest advocate during the construction process. Different residential architecture firms in Harwood Heights, IL provide different services, so the scope of the work can span from pre-design environmental impact studies to selecting furniture and finishes, depending on what your specific needs are.

Questions to ask prospective Harwood Heights interior architects:


  • What is your fee structure?
  • What does the cost include?
  • Do you have professional liability insurance?
  • Can you handle my special requests (ADA, LEED etc.)?
  • What types of renderings (3D, video, illustrative) will you produce?
  • What is your experience with similar projects?
  • When do you expect to start and be finished with the project?
  • What do your services include? (It's best that the services are until construction is completed.)
  • What happens when the cost exceeds the budget?
  • Can you provide me with references?
  • Would you say your work has a defining style? (This is important in case the architect's personal style will interfere with your vision.)
  • Will you help with hiring a general contractor and subcontractors?
  • What do you estimate the cost will be?
  • What will I need to provide?
  • Are there any complications you foresee with this project?
