Green Building Services in Victor, CA

“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”

“Impluvium listened to my spiritual desires to create a contemporary space that made guests feel instantly welcome while providing function for everyday life. I described a desire that my home subliminally feel like a space where East meets West. Many visitors comment on how "happy", comfortable, and Zen like my home is. Mission accomplished thanks to Tim Haley! The project involved an extensive remodel of my 3 bedroom/2 bath townhouse inclusive of footprint expansions (addition of ~75 sq. ft.), relocation of all plumbing and electrical, removal of demising wall, new windows, doors and skylights, and creative solutions designed to maximize space. In particular, Impluvium not only designed an aesthetically beautiful ceiling in the great room, but it also provides layers of light for multiple uses at all times of the day and night, functionally it is a chase which delivers the in-home sound system and HVAC system, and it masks the new structural beam required when the demising wall was removed. The accuracy and completeness of Impluvium's design and architectural drawings were instrumental in expediting HOA approvals and permits.”

“Being a Custom Home Builder, it is very important to have only the best team possible right from the beginning. Donald Joseph, Inc. is a firm that has done wonders for my clients and my company. Donald and Kevin understand how to design to fit their clients budgets and exceed their expectations. Kent Sciutto President Turn-Key Construction Group, Inc.”

“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.”

“Thanks to Justin. After our house burned down in the wild fires, Justin helped us move along ( as we still only had a vague idea of what we wanted but we knew we wanted to move back quick) and designed a house that fits our property and fits our living style with extra suites for when our sun & daughter visit. Can’t wait to have it finished so we can move in!”

“I own a three story building in northern calif. and Wade was very very detailed and very fair and hard working and had extensive knowledge on larger projects all aspects including landscape I would highly recommend him and His firm for all phases .”

“Elma Gardner is a very talented designer and a fun person to work with. We originally contacted her to help us with the kitchen and bathroom cabinetry design and install for our new home. She offers all the design help needed to complete a project. First, she presented a couple of different layouts for us to consider. The designs were fantastic. Then she scheduled appointments for us to meet with her at several different showrooms including: lighting, plumbing, appliance, and tile showrooms. She listened to what we wanted and helped us make good choices. She was available to meet at the job site during construction. Elma runs a great business; she is very organized, efficient and accommodating. She gets things done on time and she is easy to contact by phone, email or in person. The cabinetry company that she works with makes high quality, beautiful cabinets.”

“Drew is a great architect and pleasant to work with. He is very detailed oriented, organized and helpful. We have been working with him on an extensive covered porch structure. We have only good things to say about Drew and look forward to working with him on future projects.”

“Dave Ruffin was hired as a designer and architect to redesign our one of a kind unique house and add another 1000 sq f to the building. The project was challenging because of the location of the house on a slop. Previously I already fired two other architect companies, as they could not get what I needed. They either did not listen or did not understand my needs/vision. Then I found Dave. We spent few meeting where he allowed me to talk anything I wanted. He was making notes only. He told me that he'll need few days after our meetings to come up with a design. On our next meeting the basic design was done. There was nothing for me to change or modify. It was simply beautiful. Dave was hired full time with enthusiasm on my side - I finally found someone who is willing to listen, understand, convert crazy ideas into blueprints, and take care of the project implementation. He not only did a fantastic job of the new addition design, architect, engineering and construction, but also completely redesigned existing structure. His vision changed my mind. HIs ability to work with different clients is amazing. I'm one of very difficult customers to deal with because I'm a perfectionist and demand only the best. After all documentation was agreed and signed off, he completely covered the task of getting city permits (we had more than one including 120 feet long 6 feet tall retaining wall). It was a pleasant experience for me. I did read about a lot of issues related to getting a construction permit with the city and was prepared to worse. It went really well. Simultaneously, Dave helped to pick up a construction company for the project. He interviewed several and helped to pick a right one. And... he was hired as a project manager and acceptance engineer for our project. He also handled all communications with the city inspectors and managed general and subcontractors on the daily bases. What was expected to be a very difficult project to finish, turned out to be a great experience for me working with engineers and contractors. There were few situations where I was unhappy with some of sub-contractors performance/quality. Dave was in place to solve them gracefully in a very professional manner. Overall, Dave handled the project all the way from discussing the new design to the last city signature. I already recommended Dave to few of my friends who want to change their properties looking at what was done to our house. And... I would highly recommend him to anybody who needs an open-minded, intelligent, polite (at the same time strong) and very professional designer/architect/engineer.”

“Lezley Barclay is everything we were looking for in an architect. She listened to our needs and designed a spectacular family home for us in Tahoe. As a professional, Lezley is organized, responsible, skillful, creative and up to date on new architectural design trends, materials and procedures. She has been personable and respectful of our wishes and idiosyncrasies. She has blended seamlessly into a team of spectacular professionals we have hired to complete our home. We have subsequently hired Lezley for many other projects including three more custom homes and numerous home renovations. It is a pleasure to highly recommend Lezley Barclay for any architectural project you may be preparing to tackle. Amy C. Lake Tahoe/ Truckee”
