Over the years we have worked with architects and contractors on a number of projects, both residential and hospitality. What we came to appreciate with Ron is that his training and experience as a registered architect fundamentally changed how we approached our own projects. When we began our first addition, we were fairly certain we knew what we wanted. We had ideas about size, layout, and certain architectural elements. Ron did not simply draw what we described. He stepped back and asked better questions. How would the new space actually feel in relation to the existing home. How would light move through it during the day. How would scale and proportion affect the exterior. How would circulation really work once furniture and daily life were introduced. In several instances, what we thought we wanted was not what ultimately worked best. Ron had the ability to reframe the conversation. He helped us see the house as a cohesive composition rather than as an addition attached to a structure. The final design was not only larger, it was more balanced and far more integrated than our original concept.
Because Ron is also a licensed general contractor, those architectural ideas were never abstract. They were grounded in construction reality from the start. Materials were selected not only for appearance, but for durability and proper installation. Structural considerations were addressed early. There was no disconnect between vision and execution because the same mind that shaped the design understood how it would be built. That combination eliminated the typical tension between architect and builder. There was no interpretation gap, no finger pointing, and no dilution of design intent once construction began. Decisions were thoughtful, timely, and accountable.
On subsequent renovation work, we experienced the same process. We began with a defined idea of what we believed the project required. Through dialogue and careful study, Ron helped us rethink flow, light, and proportion in ways we had not initially considered. The result was not simply an upgraded home, but a reimagined one. What stands out most is not just talent, but perspective. Ron sees beyond square footage and finishes. He sees how a structure lives, functions, and ages over time. When architectural insight and construction responsibility sit with the same individual and team, the outcome is stronger and the process significantly smoother.

What started as a professional engagement became a lasting friendship built on trust, advocacy, and exceptional design build for the last 20 plus years. Over multiple residential and commercial projects, this team consistently delivered thoughtful design, technical excellence, and unwavering advocacy. From serving as Architect to the Architect on a commercial renovation—preserving the building’s historic character and a significant Purvis Young mural—to designing a custom aviation hangar home for three planes with integrated living, office, and conference spaces, their work reflects both creativity and precision.
They also led a complex, seven-figure flood remediation as our advocate with the insurance company, ensuring the property was fully and properly restored. Most recently, a major interior renovation transformed an existing Rio Vista home by reconfiguring living spaces and raising ceiling heights from 8 to 12 feet, dramatically enhancing light, scale, and livability. Across every project, their integrity, attention to detail, and commitment to our vision never wavered. We trust them completely and recommend them highly.

When we first began exploring a full-service design-build renovation, we thought we had a fairly clear vision of what we wanted. What we didn’t realize was how much more was possible with the right architect and general contractor guiding the entire process—from architectural design through construction and final finishes. From our very first meeting, their team took the time to understand not just our wish list, but how we truly live in our home. We knew we needed a complete interior and exterior renovation, including a thoughtful reconfiguration of our existing space. What they delivered was far beyond a typical remodel. Through strategic space planning and custom architectural design, they transformed a dated layout into an open, cohesive home that feels both contemporary and timeless.
The reimagined floor plan completely changed the flow of our house. Walls were removed, sightlines were opened, and rooms that once felt compartmentalized now connect seamlessly. The result is a light-filled, functional living space designed for both everyday living and entertaining. The heart of the home is now our contemporary custom kitchen. The oversized island has become the centerpiece—perfect for cooking, gathering, and hosting. Every detail reflects high-end craftsmanship and thoughtful design. The cabinetry, finishes, and layout feel luxurious yet practical, creating a kitchen that is as functional as it is beautiful.
One of the most impressive elements of this luxury home renovation is our his-and-her primary bathroom suite. Joined by a shared shower and soaking tub, the space feels like a private spa retreat. The sophisticated plumbing design allows each of us to operate individual shower controls with consistent, abundant hot water—something that required expert planning and execution. Their ability to integrate complex systems seamlessly into the design truly demonstrates their technical expertise as a custom home builder and remodeling contractor.
The exterior renovation elevated our home just as dramatically. The new covered outdoor entertaining area spans the entire back of the house and looks as though it was part of the original architecture. It blends perfectly with the existing structure while creating a stunning indoor-outdoor living experience. Large openings connect the new interior layout directly to the covered patio, allowing gatherings to flow effortlessly between spaces. The pool and pool deck renovation completed the transformation. What was once an underutilized backyard is now a cohesive outdoor living environment that feels like a private resort. The upgraded materials, layout, and design complement the home beautifully and enhance both property value and everyday enjoyment.
Throughout the entire design-build process, what stood out most was the seamless coordination. Having a single team manage architectural design, project management, and construction made the experience efficient and stress-free. Communication was clear, timelines were respected, and the craftsmanship exceeded our expectations. We began this journey looking for a home renovation contractor. What we found was a trusted design-build partner who delivered a complete transformation. The final result is not only visually stunning but perfectly tailored to our lifestyle. Our home feels custom, cohesive, and elevated in every way. The outcome truly exceeded our expectations—and we would confidently recommend their design-build services to anyone considering a luxury home renovation or custom remodel.

Transforming my original 1962 Harbor Isles home into a sleek, modern waterfront retreat required vision, precision, and the right team. Hiring a firm that provided both Architectural and Construction services made the entire process seamless. From day one, I was extensively involved, and they truly treated it as a collaborative effort. The project was a 2600 square foot complete interior and exterior renovation, including added square footage, major reconfiguration of the layout of the kitchen, living room, dining room and family room including raising ceiling heights from 8 feet to an impressive 12 feet. The result is a stunning open floor plan filled with natural light that washes across the polished concrete walls in the expansive great room. Every detail reflects meticulous workmanship—from the solid core doors with hidden hardware to the custom cabinetry and flawless finishes throughout. No detail was overlooked. The craftsmanship is remarkable. What was once a dated home is now a brand-new, custom-built modern masterpiece that exceeds everything I imagined.
