We had a great experience with Lisa's "Ideas & Concepts" level of service. Lisa had great ideas to offer and so much industry knowledge. Thanks to Lisa we now have a vision for workable solutions that we are excited to put into place. Small investment with a big payoff!

Lisa did a fantastic job in designing our new sunroom. She listened carefully, and had many great ideas. She was a pleasure to work with, and we are thrilled with the finished product.

Lisa With LKS Architects is a blessing to work with. I am a General Contractor in the Metro Atlanta area and she is one of the best Architects to complete a renovation with. She is always willing to go the extra mile to make sure that the client is happy. On call whenever needed and alwys wanting to make sure the job is completed on time and in budget. We at Frye-Moore Construction are looking forward to working with Lisa on many upcoming projects.

Thank you Todd for the review and nice compliments!
The feeling is mutual with respect for how you and your crews managed the jobsite, the timeline, budget and kept our client happily informed.
I have added Frye-Moore Construction to my personal list of Favorite Team Members!

Jessica Tweedy

Great work, super happy with how our plans turned out. Half of our basement was made into an investment property studio apt. and the other half a bar and entertainment area.

Hi Jessica! you guys were great clients to work with! Your ideas and 'wish list' were spot on; and the concept of a small studio apartment for income is FABULOUS!
Thanks for having Michael post the photos, he's doing a great job pulling it all together! I'm looking forward to when it's done and y'all can enjoy it!

Lisa is wonderful to work with and has great ideas and a knack for tailoring the work to what the client is looking for. She was able to make suggestions to meet our needs and budget come together. Unfortunately a fire right before the construction was to begin halted the process. No worries as she reconfigured the design to maximize the renovation based on the fire and now we have more than originally planned. As with good architects in today's environment, be sure to plan for sufficient time in plan completion since the process is lengthy to arrive at what you desire. While the project is still ongoing with the builder, the layout of the reconstruction is better that we could have ever imagined. Our original budget was around $250,000 and got a "soft" estimate from a contractor for over $350,000 prior to working with Lisa. Our final contract (pre-fire) after working with Lisa was just under $240,000 and we were able to accomplish everything we were looking for. Shout-out to Frye-Moore Construction as they also had a huge hand in getting the budget under control with excellent construction ideas. Will update this with photos upon completion.

Lisa listened to our vision and needs for our kitchen renovation, asked thoughtful and astute questions and created plans that yielded a kitchen that is just what we'd hoped for. A year later, I can confirm it continues to be beautiful and work very well.

Hi Jiffy! Thank you for the great review! I really enjoyed working with you and Howard and coming with the design solutions. I remember how excited you guys were to move to this part of town, and at the prospects of finding some great dog parks for your pup! Super happy you're still enjoying the lovely environment!

Lisa did a great job helping us figure out what we wanted to do with our house renovation plans. She carefully considered our needs and came up with some really creative solutions to our issues with space and layout. She is very multifaceted and has a very keen sense of how to make it all work.

Comment from LKS Architects Inc.:

Spending the time to understand the unique challenges of each house and the specific way a family lives in that how now, AND into the future is one of the critical pieces of the design puzzle. Thanks for the great review! Makes me happy!!!

LKS Architects did a great job of maximizing the space in the renovation, while keeping the look and feel of the original house. Lisa excels in turning the complicated projects into a smooth process.

Lisa of LKS Architects is an excellent architect and designer. She is very thorough and detail oriented in thinking of how a space will function. She is easy to get a hold of and works on projects in an efficient manner. From concept to construction drawings, she if very methodical in how she approaches the process. She is also very familiar with the City of Atlanta and its inherent nuances of permitting. I highly recommend working with Lisa.

LKS Architects, Inc. did the design for a major renovation we had done on our home in 2004. The scope of the project was a design for a master bedroom suite, master bath renovation, walkway to a screened porch with a utility room beneath. She listened to what we wanted out of the project and gave us several options to choose from for the job. The design was very creative use of space and was delivered in a timely manner. I would recommend LKS Architects Inc. for any renovation projects - large or small.

I love telling the story of your project "He wanted a place outside to listen to the Braves games without swatting mosquitoes and She wanted a luxurious new master suite". You have a wonderful wooded yarden to enjoy. It was my pleasure to work with you guys; Thanks for the GREAT review~!
