Goldberg Design Group, Inc.

Let me start by saying Steve is the third person I have ever written a review. I am writing this review because I am so grateful for how he has served us over the years. Steve has designed new homes, additions and renovations for us for the last 24 years. He had a unique ability to listen to us in terms of the functionality, budget and style we wanted and deliver great results in every case. In 2000, he designed an awesome English Cottage style home for us in the Village of West Clay. He designed a bar and wine cellar addition in 2005, which looked as though it had always been there, inside and out. A few years later he designed a pool house that we thought was spectacular in term of its beauty and functionality. We purchased a large property in 2020 that came with a large home that did not meet our needs in terms of style or functionality. We considered demolishing it and building a new home on that site, but the house had good bones and was built with great quality, so we hated the thought of demolishing it. Steve was able redesign the existing home and design additions to accommodate all of the spaces we wanted while recreating the facade into a classic European style we also wanted. This remodel/addition saved us 40% of the cost of new construction. We would have never guessed that this type of transformation was possible. We love our new home and it works wonderfully for us. We are now asking him to design an addition on our lake cottage. Through four projects over the past 24 years, Steve has always fulfilled his promises and delivered result beyond our expectations.

Goldberg Design Group exceeded expectations in designing our home. We were looking to build a modern residence on our rural/country estate. Steve was able to design a home that, while modern, harmonized wonderfully with the natural setting. The entire process was very collaborative. We had some very specific requirements and Steve worked with us to ensure those requirements were reflected in the design, while providing excellent advice and consultation based on his vast experience. His entire design process was very efficient and he was always prepared when we met. Putting that much focus and attention on the planning and design phase really paid off Now that we have lived in our home for the past 9 months, we can say that there is nothing we would change. Great job Steve!

Goldberg Design Group did an amazing job with our Chatham Hills Home design in Westfield, IN. Steve was excellent at understanding our unique needs, taking the time to get to know how our family lives, and really grasped what our tastes/preferences were—these all played out in a positive way when we saw the design. He is also great at asking questions that force clarity and good communication around decisions. I would strongly recommend Steve to anyone who wants to design their dream home!

We found Steve to be a skilled professional designer with good communication skills. His creative plan for our home encompassed all of our wish list items. In addition, the highly detailed plans were delivered at a reasonable fee.

Goldberg Design group designed our home and were pleased with the attention to detail throughout the process and the professionalism he showed throughout. He is extremely knowledgeable and will help give insight on important aspects of design you may not think of. We would highly recommend using the this company for your next design/build project.

I hired Steve with the intent that he would take plans that I purchased and modified, and prepare new construction drawings for me without expectation of much additional design influence. And while he gave me a very fair price with that plan in mind, his value actually came in some of his additional design input. He suggested some minor changes in the floor plan that solved a problem I wasn't even keenly aware of. He also made some valuable suggestions regarding things like garage door sizes that made a much bigger impact than I could have realized. Steve is excellent at what he does, and a true professional, and I would gladly recommend him. My only criticism is that sometimes it would take a little while to get some changes done, but I simply see this as a necessary downside of working with someone who is so sought after that he is very busy.

Steve and his team are at the top of their game. If you're looking for a quality plan with out of the box design , the Goldberg Design Group is who you should hire. Pricing is very competitive but detail and accuracy makes them a good value. I've been a home builder for over 30 years. I've worked with dozens of architects and I've designed hundreds myself. I hand draw but I decided to commit to using CAD. I've worked off and on with Steve for more than 13 years. All I can say is I knew Steve was who I wanted to align myself with. You get what you pay for. Why would you cut corners on a plan for the biggest investment of you and your family's life. All it takes is bad design or bad detail and it can cost you any difference that you pay. I would definitely refer Steve.

Steve re-designed a house for me in 2016 and did an excellent job. His outside the box design and attention to detail ensured a successful remodel and a beautiful before and after!

With great ideas, fantastic listening skills and recommendations/support of the additional structural changes we needed to completely transform a 1974 ranch-style home, Steven was outstanding to work with and extremely professional. We could not be more pleased.

My husband and I hired Steve Goldberg to design custom house plans. After one meeting where Steve listened to what we liked and didn't like regarding floor plans, he drew a rough draft that was nearly perfect. We made minor changes, of course, but he had incorporated all of our major requests on the first round. During the ongoing process, Steve made helpful suggestions and continued to listen to our preferences as he prepared the final set of plans. He is very professional plus made the process personally enjoyable. Update as of December, 2017: Now that we are approximately 70% of the way into the building process, I have an even greater appreciation for Steve's work. There are some unique features that required a great deal of detail and artful design from Steve. I am even more impressed now that I see the house under construction and realize that it takes a highly skilled architect to lay out the design as masterfully a he did. I have also heard our builder comment that Steve's plans contain all of the information they need. I highly recommend Goldberg Design.

Goldberg Design Group came highly recommended by both our builder and our design team and fully lived up to those expectations. We provided GDG with an online photo of the exterior of our "inspiration" house which Steve then tailored to our very specific inside requirements. Steve had several suggestions which we've only come to appreciate in hindsight -- now wishing we'd listened better earlier in the process! Several iterations were required before we thought it was "just right" and Steve proved to be a patient and tireless consultant throughout.

Steve designed exactly what we knew we were looking for as well as the elements that we didn't even know we wanted. He has a great sense of style and brought great ideas to the table. It has been fun watching his design become reality. The finished product was even better than we imagined it would be!
