Norman Sanchez Architecture, Inc

Norman helped us transform our outdated and not very functional house into a home we will treasure for a long time. The project consisted of a master suite addition and kitchen redesign. Although the new construction added only a few hundred square feet, it completely transformed the look and feel of the entire house. Guests who visit consistently comment on how beautiful and open it is.
Norman is exceedingly good at his profession. He’s great at presenting a multitude of options, evaluating the pros and cons, and being open about his opinions. He’s a great listener and always took the time to make sure that he understood what we were saying and wanted. He has a talent for making complex issues comprehensible and we always felt like he supported us in making the hundreds of decisions that come up during a construction project.
Norman drew up very detailed and careful plans at each stage of our project. He works quickly, as does his team. He was great as our interface with the city for all the permits and even with our contractor when more technical issues arose that needed his expertise. We were out-​of-​state for a sizable portion of our remodel, and Norman made sure to visit the project frequently to ensure that everything was on-​track. During some of the more exciting phases (like framing up the walls), Norman videotaped a walk-​through and emailed us clips so that we could see our house taking shape. This was such a delightful gift, and it reflects Norman’s genuine care for his clients.
The proof is in the pudding, as the expression goes. Norman helped us totally transform our home into a very beautiful and functional space. And while I imagine no construction project is stress-​free, Norman’s thoughtful project-​management skills eased much of our anxiety.
We highly recommend Norman Sanchez Architecture for any new construction or remodel. You’ll be in the hands of a true professional during one of life’s more challenging phases.

Norman Sanchez is a skillful and talented architect. He stands apart because he didn’t just stop at drafting our construction plans to create our perfect space. He saw our project through to completion, managing every last detail with the engineer, contractor, and subcontractors, including their hiring. Throughout our second story addition and complete first story remodel, he was our architect, project manager, interior designer, negotiator, «translator» and last but not least important, friend and sometimes even therapist. Norman is creative with his ideas and solutions, extremely organized, and professional.
Right from our first meeting, he wanted to understand our lifestyle and home vision. He drew up our plans, adjusting them as the project required, worked with the necessary officials in our city for permits, and navigated us through the stressful process of choosing a contractor and negotiating a bid. He «translated» dialogue with our contractor’s men and helped us design and choose everything from the largest to the smallest of items (stair rail down to doorstops). He understood so perfectly the space, look, and feel of the home we were trying to create that we trusted his advice implicitly.
His firm is busy, but we always felt like his only clients when we communicated with him which was most days, multiple times. No conversations were rushed, he was readily available, he reassured throughout many a stressful situation, and was our willing advocate when necessary. His amazing team at his office allowed him to give his full attention and dedication to us. It was because of his tireless efforts for the last 20 months that our home, which we moved into two months ago, is close to perfection. We highly recommend Norman Sanchez!

Norman is definitely a top notch architect, something of a perfectionist (an excellent quality in this field!), innovative and creative, good listener, wonderful idea man and organized and professional all at the same time. Having worked with architects before, I can honestly say that Norman is among the best. We are in the midst of a giant renovation and he has worked well with everyone involved. I would highly recommend him.
