Architectural Design in Streetsboro.

“I have known Martin in a professional capacity since 2001. We initially worked as colleagues at two different mid-size architectural firms over a 2 year period. Martin first came to my attention as a highly skilled Drafting Consultant who was working on some of the more complex projects in the firm. When I moved on to a different company and was asked to recruit new talent, the first person I thought of was Martin. Martin eventually came on board at the new firm and carried a significant project load from day one, allowing his new employer the luxury and financial windfall of billing out a very large and complex luxury multi-family housing project with a modicum of actual manpower. After I founded my own firm, I again recruited Martin when I needed help to complete my own multi-family housing project on a very tight timeline. I gave Martin one of the most challenging technical tasks, that of cutting wall and building sections through this five story building. Martin rose to the challenge and delivered accurate, technically sound work on time and on budget. I knew from past experience that I could count on Martin and he did not let me down. It has been wonderful watching Martin grow his architecture firm into a highly-sought after practice. Martin's attention to detail and craftsmanship shows in all of his projects. His background as a Danish carpenter with many years of architectural practice gives Martin a unique design perspective that other architects simply do not have. I would welcome the opportunity to partner again with Martin in the future.”

“Franklin and Associates is a top-notch firm. Owner, Tim Franklin, is a continued presence on his jobs from start to finish. His design ideas are second to none, willing to stay within affordability yet explore the creative and unique side of design. He listens to his clients and incorporates their ideas into his own. I highly recommend this company.”

“Richardson Design is a team that get's it. They are thoughtful and right on. They have a perfect balance of business savy and forward, creative thinking. Working with Scott and the team is a pleasure.”

“We hired Karlovec and Co. to remodel our kitchen when we moved into our new house during the summer of 2011. I can't say enough good things about our experience. Everyone on the team was professional and reliable. The job was done on time and within budget. The craftsmanship is beyond compare. We love our kitchen and would recommend Karlovec and Co. to anyone!”

“This is a top-notch company. Mike and Jim are smart problem-solvers, creative thinkers and great people. They brought skilled artisans to work on our major renovation which resulted in a wonderful new kitchen, truly the heart of our home, in our beautiful old (1923) home. It was important to us to have the new kitchen feel appropriate to the period architecture of our house and it does. This was a very large project and could have been beset by frustration, delay and poor communication. Instead it was a smoothly managed project that gives us great pleasure everyday.”

“We used Mike from Artisans Design Group to remodel our kitchen, breakfast area and relocate the entrance from the garage. Mike is very creative, thinks out of the box, has very competent employees(which were great to have in the house) and above all, they are great craftsman. The work took as long as Mike originally stated, about two and a half months. Because Mike got me to move out of my comfort zone, the kitchen is really great! We even have a coffee bar in an unused space above the stair well! Grays, whites and antqiue chandeliers where never in my original plan. I had no question as to who I was going to use in the kitchen as we used Artisan for a back splash/hood in our previous home and Artisan rebuilt our neighbor's older back sun porch and when completed, looked like a major room in the house with so much more style The bathrooms are next!!”

“As a designer I work with several different builders and contractors, however working with J. Kapela Design & Construction is by far the most organized. I can always get in contact with Justin or Jared to answer any questions I may have.”

“On time, neat, friendly organized, professional. Most importantly, they love what they do and are passionate about getting the work done in a timely manner that is of the highest quality. They respect the family schedule during our major renovation that is currently taking place. a family business with a great reputation, they all work in tandem and are always over seeing the minute details. Communication is excellent -very real and down to earth.”

“I've now had Smartland handle three jobs, all big, at my home. They've previously restored my floors after a flood and rebuilt my garage after a neighbor drove into the back of it. Now they've also replaced all my siding, over the entire house. It was a tricky job, not least because, after the siding was damaged by my neighbor's accident, I had to deal with two different insurance companies over the cost and coverage issues. Smartland did more than contract for the job--they handled all the negotiations with the two companies. My house looks great!”

“They did a great job in our development on the landscaping. The neighbors came to the board a few times to compliment!”
