Universal Designers in Village Park

“We had a great experience with Phillip White, Laura Ayers and staff when building our new home in Manoa. They are professional, friendly, responsive to our needs as well as giving us superb ideas for the creation of our new home. They worked as a positive team, that really got along on all levels. Their working environment made us feel comfortable and welcome. We highly recommend them for any new clients/projects.”

“Katen did a fabulous job of staging my Mililani listing. We sold it at the first open house. We received multiple offers and it sold for the highest price in the neighborhood. I highly recommend Bloom Again Design.”

“There is nothing finer than building with a great team! We have had the pleasure of working together with Dian on a number of fabulous projects. Each of these builds have been complex and unique, she has been the key to the success of the project on every occasion. Dian listens and hears what our clients are asking for, she communicates well with our craftsmen so together we develop the best methods to construct & create. She is responsive and always alert regarding the importance of timely decision making and material purchasing, which helps us stay on schedule and budget. Dian is skilled with colors, textures and furnishings. She is an excellent designer who I can highly recommend.”

“I know how stressful it is finding and contractor, so I wanted to share my experience with others so that they can make a more informed decision. When we decided to tear down and rebuild our home in Kaimuki, we met with five contractors. All of them had great ideas but each were different in their approach – some more pushy, a few seemed too busy or apathetic, and only one was real down to earth and made us feel like they had our best interest at heart – Atlas. For example, the Project Manager (Nathan) was very concerned about keeping us within our budget so that our mortgage payments would be manageable as opposed to building a house that would maximize the contract price (it seemed that way with some of the other contractors). What also really impressed us were all the complimentary comments that were made by their clients during our site visit to other projects that were in progress or competed. Their vendors and subs thought very highly of them too! They accommodated every request we had, allowed us to build the home we wanted (not according to their specifications), and were transparent about the process, costs (no mysterious change orders or nickel and diming), and timeline. They treated our Project as if it were their own and provided us recommendations during the design AND BUILD process. To those looking for someone to build their dream home, my recommendation would be the same: Find someone you feel comfortable with because there are so many decisions to be made from beginning to end and you want a partner that you can trust that will help guide you and also be fair with you when the inevitable obstacles occur (which it will). We love the home they built for us two years ago and are glad we picked a contractor that was a pleasure to work with. Atlas built our home and a lasting relationship with my family as well. To this day, if I ever need any assistance or advice for my home (solar, new fence, leaking washer), I can pick-up the phone and call Bruce (the owner) and he sends someone right away to kokua.”

“Archipelago did an outstanding job designing our home. From the beginning of the planning, they were on top of things every step of the way. Their dedication, attention to detail and follow through far exceeded our expectations. They were worth every dime. I most strongly recommend their work. ”

“Redesign of living room by installing laminate flooring and new window treatment. Added accessories for existing furniture to enhance color in space. I really liked working with Joan. Joan has attention to detail. Her ability to listen to what I envisioned for my living room space and to quickly draw a floor plan was very impressive. The consultation and outcome of the project is definitely worth $400. I highly recommend Joan for any design project.”

“Brandie of Studio B Designs is nothing short of fabulous! She designed our dream space in a practical yet innovative way that has helped to organize my family! She is responsible, cost conscious, and client focused. She provided the perfect go-between our contractor and subcontractors and was available for advice and guidance the whole way. I couldn't imaging going through such a large renovation without her! Brandie is truly priceless!”

“Graham Builders was great from beginning to end. They were very informative and explained many things I had no idea about before I started to rebuild my home. Staff is very friendly and easy to work with. Overall, I am happy with my new home.”

The home was built in the 1950's and is outdated in style. It's a beautiful large 5 bedroom,/3.5 Bath/2,234 Living Sq Ft.. The home is well kept.
