Structural Engineering Companies in Rochester

“My husband and I have followed Michael Klement, the Principal at Architectural Resource, at the Ann Arbor home shows and remodeling tours for years. His passion for the work he does is evident in everything he does, and is delightful to listen to during his tours. We've visited every home that has been open for tours and no two are alike. His talent is so broad - from respecting a classic Italianate design, to creating a found-art energy efficient modern masterpiece. He excels at listening to what the customer is looking for and delivering perfection. He blends brilliant design with smart, efficient, architectural engineering. After years of dreaming of what Michael could do for us, we were finally in a position to consider hiring him. He met us at our home and talked with us about our "ultimate vision of living". We can see how this approach could lead to the perfect personalized homes that we had toured. He walked us through the design process and laid out an estimate for pricing. After the meeting I was so energized and excited that it took 2 hours to fall asleep (it was way past my bedtime!). Ultimately, we couldn't find a piece of empty property with the location / features we wanted for a price that would allow us to build new with Michael. So we purchased a home with "potential" and are saving up for the chance to do a remodel/rebuild with him on this property. We wouldn't dream of working with anyone else.”

“From the time we first met Scott in person, we felt completely confident in his abilities to help us design our first home. Scott was extremely personable and made us feel at ease throughout the entire process, which was no easy feat since we have little experience with the home design process. He is very knowledgeable in Michigan code and energy-efficient homes and made some great suggestions on how we could increase the R value of the house, which was very important to us. He offered advice about which type of insulation to use, what windows would be most cost-effective yet eco-friendly and how geothermal could be used in our home. He also pointed out some flaws in the floor plan we brought as inspiration and helped us design a well thought out, functional layout that will for our family for years to come. On the exterior, he offered many ideas on how to give a new build some character and make it feel inviting. Scott delivered our plans very quickly and when we had revisions, they were done promptly. When we decided to change the roof pitch to add more head space to the second story of our cape cod, he called to discuss truss design and potential increased home costs to ensure we were making the best decision. I would highly recommend Scott to anyone looking for a passionate, talented architect that has your best interests in mind. He is prompt, professional and detail oriented and his plans were outstanding. Our house will be built over the next 9 months and I cannot wait to see his vision come to life!”

“Joe's talent as an architect shines in his ability to create a aesthetically beautiful structure with comfortable and livable proportions. On more than one occasion, I have witnessed Joe's client presenting mixed signals in their tastes and budgets, yet Joe has been able to deliver a phenomenal design on the first draft. Equally as important, he treats his clients who are looking for marquis new homes with the same respect and thoughtfulness as those looking for a simple addition.”

“I thought Roger was very helpful and professional. He advised both myself and the builder throughout the project. He really puts thought into the clients personal message in each design assignment. I enjoyed working with Roger to complete my loft project . Due to his efforts the end result was amazing and I have received hundreds of compliments on his work!”

“TDG did an amazing job with transforming a non-functional 1950’s bathroom and closet to functional. They did a great job listening to our families’ needs and desires and providing us with options that would fit our families needs best. Phillip was very responsive and delivered great results!”

“MainStreet Design Build is an extremely talented and professional firm. That's our kitchen in the Baldwin picture. Our craftsman style house was built in 1922. We love it for all of the woodwork and charm inside. We therefore needed a company that would respect and complement the historic style of our home, but update the kitchen with more space and ammenities for the way we function as a family today (kitchens were very small back in 1922!). We got all of that and more. We have incredible cabinetry with custom wood work and we love our eat in area. The kitchen totally flows with the rest of our home, but really is our crown jewel. We still "WOW" friends when they walk into the kitchen - it is absolutely beautiful and timeless and I wouldn't change a thing. MainStreet's incredible vision and their attention to detail are their greatest assets. From the beginning of the project until the end, the MainStreet staff was engaged and focused on us as the customer. We highly recommend MainStreet and would hire them again in a second - they truly are experts at what they do! ”

“Brian has helped in creating my vision of my new "looks like your Grandma lives there now" home, into a "cool, contemporary, rustic and natural" personal oasis. I told him what I wanted and he listened to me, with consideration of my budget and making changes where they were most important. Brian is professional, kind, and extremely intuitive as to translating your visions into blueprint form, therefore working with the builder to make it reality. Pictures to come, when the projects done! Michele Varady”

“J.K. Janiga designed not one but two of the most magnificent homes that anyone would love to live in. He listened to everyones input and drew up two designs that made us speechless. There was no reason to redo any drawing. He heard us the first time around. Jerry was there from beginning to end. Supervised all building of his /our project. Made detailed suggestions that were well thought out and worked. IF I were to ever build again I would only turn to J. K. Janiga. Thanks Jerry again, Kelly and Geoff Thomas”

“We decided to remodel our front porch and we knew what we liked for style. When we consulted Designteam Plus, they spent time listening to our ideas and wants. Harold then came back with 3 drawings of ideas. We were able to work together and come up with the best plan for our home. Designteam Plus is professional, affordable and they really listen to their customers. I have referred them to friends, and will use them again in the future.”
