Hi, we are looking to build an addition to our home as well as do other renovation work like add a deck, etc. We are looking for a referral from anyone who has a builder they trust, that they have worked well with, and who does quality work. We are also looking for an architect or someone to draft the plans. It's scary to go with "just anyone" so thank you so much in advance for any referrals you may have!

What can I do next?

I have a GREAT contractor that we have used on several different occasions: to add a pool house, remodel a kitchen (in a rental), and gut and remodel our entire home. He is dependable (shows up or calls when he says he will) and honest (we gave him a key to feed our cats while we were gone one weekend). I also found his bids to be extremely competitive, and he is genuinely a NICE guy. He is Kirk Narowski at Narowski Construction (in Torrance). Phone is 310/283-7547 and website is www.narowskiconstruction.com Good luck! I'm sure you'll love him, too.

Hello, if you are still looking for an architect or builder, I refer contractors that have been referred to me by happy homeowners. I check them out, call additional references, check current license, insurances, better business bureau rating and then refer only the good ones. Depending on where you live of course. I refer in Conejo Valley, Moorpark, Simi, Camarillo, San Fran Valley. You can reach me at ____@____.com or meet me at www.hcc-ca.com .

Hi L.,

I am a young but experienced architect working for a practice in Laguna Beach. I specialize in custom home residential projects in my own time and completed 2 small new beach houses last year and have been involved in green building developments on the East Coast.
I offer a more personal approach, working closely with my clients to gain a clear understanding of what they would like to achieve, my fee's are very competitive and I will take on the smaller projects that a lot of the larger architecture firms don't want to get involved in. For more information, please feel free to view my profile and send me an email if you have any further questions or would like to view some of my work.

Kind Regards,

S.
