Building Designers in Modesto

“Scott designed and drafted plans for a master bedroom extension for us. The plans were submitted and approved by the city with no revisions. That was awesome & a relief! He listened to our desires, took time to answer our questions & responded to all our concerns. He is very knowledgeable about codes & rules. He was efficient & his fees were reasonable. It was a pleasant experience working with him. We are looking forward to having our new addition completed. We would highly recommend California At Home to anyone. Thank you Scott, for the great service! CB”

“I had a great experience creating a house plan to fit my lot. Daniel had many great ideas to help create a floor plan that made sense”

“Tony was absolutely the best architect! He really took the time to understand our needs, and then he was very responsive through all of the twists and turns as we worked on the designs to figure out the best home for our family. He came up with amazing ideas, and his 3D modeling really helped us to visualize the home. I strongly recommend Tony for any project!”

“Jeff Potts at SDG designed us an incredible, award winning guest house! What I particularly like about Jeff is his open and approachable style. We've worked with many architects over the years and many simply don't want to listen to the client. Jeff listens and then delivers a design beyond your expectations. I would highly recommend working with them.”

“As first-time remodelers, we weren't sure whether we should consult with an architect or that we could even afford one. We discovered Tony through a mutual friend. Before we met with Tony, we had pared our wants down to the following three items: * Work-from-home office space * Updated & expanded kitchen * Media room to provide our growing kids their own indoor space Our expectations had been boxed in by our 1969 tract home. Tony not only exceeded those expectations, he blew us away with an innovative design that at once met our needs, freed our curbside frontage and interior experience from the tyranny of the cheap tract box, and met all the practical requirements of budget and city regulations. Tony held our hand and supported us through the permitting process. His adaptability and responsiveness saved us thousands of dollars in permit fees. Tony's contacts led us to the perfect builder/contractor. Schedules and budgets were never in question. The few inevitable gotchas and change orders were taken in stride and didn't blow up our budget. In short, we enjoyed our remodeling experience largely because of Tony's influence. We've lived in our new space for 3 years now and we're still happy. Tony was the best thing to happen to us and our remodel.”

“We have hired Thom Torvend to design 2 homes for us in the past 10 years, as well as buildings for our business. Thom is exceptionally creative and his designs are timeless. His attention to detail is impeccable making his homes stand out amongst all others. Apart from Thom's design abilities, he has great rapport with all contractors, and vendors. A real pleasure to work with him. Made the design process a real joy. Thom is very good about designing what the client wants and keeping within their individual style. Thom is also good at providing the client with several options to choose from in certain aspects of the projects. Thom Torvend continues to maintain a reputation of designing high quality timeless homes, as well as commercial buildings. I will post photos upon completion.”

“Bill Went to the project and was in the new addition. Vernon was afraid he'd have to provide oxygen-I was so overwhelmed by the space! Thank you for all you have done and are doing To transform the random ideas that we presented you with in the beginning when we really didn't even know what we wanted to the house that is flooded with light and to be in the three dimensional area was beyond anything I had expected To say " job well done" does not do justice to your expertise It must give you a great sense of satisfaction to be seeing the light at the end of the tunnel after all you have had to deal with: famine, pestilence and the city Thank you Joanne”

“Claire was an absolute pleasure to work with. Her design was tasteful and accommodating, and she worked extremely well with my wife and I to come up with the best bathroom solution for our master bedroom. I would work again with Claire without hesitation, and I highly recommend her to anybody looking for a great architect.”

“Ben Miller has been our designer on a 5000 square feet contemporary house. He is a very creative person with an amazing envision for aesthetics and practicality.He is an easy person to work with.He being readily available for any queries makes it easier for the GC.We would highly recommend him.”

“SDS was very professional and knowledgeable with the needs of my project and got things done in a timely matter and on budget. I would refer them to anyone.”
