Custom Home Services in Sedro Woolley, WA

“I am a retired Interior Designer and wanted to work with an architect who was up on the latest improvements in HVAC and plumbing. I had a pretty clear idea of the layout of our new house but needed help deciding on a contractor to hire as well as some creative structural details to make our 1800 sq. ft. single level home work for us as we age without looking like an "old folks home". Haven Design was instrumental in helping us select a contractor and we have been very pleased with the results.”

“Gm Drafting does all of our work and has done so for the last 10 years. They are professional, innovative in their approach and can really deliver when deadlines loom.

“As a general contractor, I have worked with Greg on two historic restoration projects, and have found him to be knowledgeable, a great listener, and possess a high level of skill in assessing the needs of clients. Wholeheartedly recommended.”

“We have had the good fortune to have benefited from Nina LeBaron's expertise for nearly 20 years on numerous projects. Nina was responsible for our first extensive remodel 18 years ago and we have relied on her excellent taste, judgement and critical eye on various renovations. Nina has the rare ability of an architect to remain mindful of not only the client's vision but the budget and the impact her recommendations will have on multiple platforms. Her research is remarkably thorough, her attention to detail exceptional and remains a joy to work with from the start of a project to completion. We heartily recommend Nina LeBaron for all sizes of projects; from large to small.”

“Armentrout Residence Our home was roughly a 1560 square foot Cape Cod cottage on a large lot. Originally, we intended to enlarge our kitchen, that eventually led to a larger addition and a full remodel. Our contractor, Norm Ferkingstad, introduced us to Bruce, an architect he’d worked with on other projects. We enjoyed working with Bruce as he really listened to what we wanted, he gave us so many choices, and introduced options we didn’t realize we had. Our home is now approximately 2900 square feet, including a new master suite. We wanted the original feel of a cottage to be maintained. Bruce did a great job. From the street, the house doesn’t look any larger than it originally did. From the sides and rear, the addition blends seam-lessly with the existing structure. Bruce did an amazing job expanding our small home, blending old with new, while keeping the charm. During early design meetings, Bruce stressed that we should interact with our home, not just exist in it. Bruce insights and recommendations added so much to our family’s home life experience. We really enjoy his creation of a variety of spaces to fulfill a diversity of moods. We have a large extended family, so we often have people visiting during the summer. We always hear from guests how comfortable our home is. They say it has a flow that leads you through the home. Parties and gatherings are comfortable and people are never clumped in the kitchen, but are spread throughout our home. Everyone comments there is a great balance of private space and inviting public space. We can easily have 30 people in our home without it feeling crowded. Yet, when it’s just the four of us, the house still feels cozy and warm. The design of our deck and outdoor space is inviting and in constant use. As a result our home has become the “go to place” for family events and parties, including a small private wedding in our backyard. We couldn’t be happier with our home. We love how Bruce blended our traditional desires with contem-porary ideas. Many times we have stood on a small hill on our property at night, looking down at our home, lit up, and take delight in what we have. We are so very thankful for what Bruce created for us. From design through construction, Bruce provided great customer service. He is patient and very respon-sive. He charges fair fees for superior design service. Not only do we highly recommend Bruce; we also hired him again for our next project, a separate carriage-style garage and home office. For us, Bruce is clearly an exceptional architect. Paige and Doug Armentrout”

“Matt and Adina Brewster are highly competent in the design and building of green and sustainable homes. I worked with Matt and Adina during their recent expansion into their new commercial space in Bellingham, Washington. They were personable, professional and responsive during the process. I recommend them highly.”

“John is a very experienced designer with a lot of great ideas, and gets the job done quickly. i would recommend Jadan Design.”

“We had a wonderful experience working with Jen on the plans for our home addition. She took time to discuss our needs and wants; as well as discover our design preferences - all while working within the scale and lines of our existing home. Jen took that information and came back with three unique approaches. We selected one and refined it as a team. She had excellent ideas regarding room sizes and placement. Now that our addition has been built, we can’t imagine our home without it. It looks as if it was always there. We highly recommend Jen Jones and her work.”

“We used HKP architects for a total remodel of a mid-century house we purchased. It was important for us to keep the integrity of the original home, but update it to fit our needs and life style. HKP did an excellent job of designing the remodel -- providing structural expertise, incorporating our ideas, presenting options in the design and the reuse of original materials, suggesting new materials and finishes, and helping us visualize the completed project ; and of managing the remodel -- managing the contractor, monitoring the budget and timeline, and providing documentation on all decisions. HKP's experience with ways to make our home more energy efficient was also very important to us. The partner and associate who worked directly on our project were so wonderful to work with - - professional, knowledgeable, imaginative, detailed, and delightful. We wouldn't have the "new-old" home we love without them. (Photos of our home are included in HKP architects' home design photos - - "private residence, Mount Vernon".)”
