BellCraft Architects

Brian helped us design a garage and bunk room, patio space and integration onto an existing lot with a house already on it. He also had to deal with very restrictive building codes. He did a great job listening to our wishlist and needs and then designed something far more spectacular than we ever could have imagined! We have now used the space for 2 summers and it fits all our needs and looks really amazing. We are constantly getting comments from our family and friends and the daily pick up for lifestyle improvements is amazing! I would highly recommend Brian and BellCraft Architects and I would use them again!

BellCraft Architects did a phenomenal job on our large scale home remodel. From their sophisticated design sense to their impeccable customer service, I felt comfortable working with them from start to finish. They took the time to understand what we were looking for and developed a custom design that really fit our personality. The team was thoughtful in their approach and led us through the process like true professionals.

We just completed a second story addition on our home and could not be happier with the design work that BellCraft provided for us. Brian spent quite a lot of time listening to our ideas and keeping track of ever-changing details. He and Chris were always very responsive with updates to plans when we needed them. The construction phase of our project went smoothly thanks to the architectural design work that BellCraft did for us. We are so happy with our remodeled home and would do the whole thing again in a heartbeat.

Chris helped us with an addition to our home, adding additional closet space and a large bathroom to our master suite.. He gave us many choices on design, which was quite helpful. His work was timely, courteous, efficient and top quality. I highly recommend Chris and the BellCraft team!

Bellcraft just finished designing an outdoor living addition for our home and we could not have had a better experience. I wish we would have known Chris and Brian when we built our home a few years ago!! Working with Bellcraft was actually fun. The process was easy and efficient. Our ideas, questions and concerns were quickly addressed. We felt listened too and gently directed when we needed it. The resulting design is exactly what we were looking for.

We would use Chris and BellCraft Architects again in a heartbeat. They recently helped up with a major remodel (adding two bathrooms, a bedroom and walk in closet) and working with them was probably the best part of the project. They were great at listening to what we wanted and in places where our requests were a little wacky or not thought through they walked us through options and we ended up with a better finished product than we thought we could. Highly recommended (and we have recommended them to our friends).

We worked with Brian at BellCraft on our Master Bedroom remodel, starting with our first meeting in August of 2014. Brian immediately was interested in not only designing our master bedroom, but in understanding what was really important for us overall with the project, including selection of the general contractor, budget constraints, concerns such as noise, cleanliness, schedule, etc. Over the course of a few months, Brian helped us nail down the design for our dream master bedroom. He set-up and participated in interviews with several contractors and helped drive the discussion so the contractor was well aware of what was most important for us. Once we selected the contractor and the project began, there were some snags and surprises during the construction. Brian always made a point to meet onsite anytime we need to review issues with the contractor. Brian always represented our best interests during those sometimes heated discussions with the contractor, leading to the assurance that the project would be done per our design. Brian also made regular drop-in visits to check on progress and ensure the requirements were being met. In the end, the project was completed to our satisfaction. I can say that if Brian had not been assisting us throughout the entire project, it would not have been nearly as successful.

Bell Craft Architects designed a remodel and addition for my home, and I could not be more pleased that we found them. My husband and I consulted one other architect before finding Chris and Brian, and we thought his design would work for us. On the advice of a friend, we sought a second opinion and were SO glad we did. Meeting with Chris and Brian showed us what our experience with an architect should have been like. They were extremely creative and brainstormed solutions with us that made us feel heard and understood. After the initial meeting, they provided us with several potential designs - each was complete enough that we could really evaluate its pros and cons before making a selection, but we could also see the flexibility that remained in each. We did a little picking and choosing among the designs, and ended up with the most cost-effective option that met all of our long-term needs. Once the design was complete, Chris and Brian also walked us through the process of finding a builder that we could work with - they helped us figure out what questions to ask, and how to stay on top of the project throughout construction. Of course, they also provided input along the way to the builder, as needed. We are finally back in our home now, and will be thanking Chris and Brian for many years to come as we grow our family into this new space. If we ever needed architecture services again, I would look nowhere else.

Model Remodel is working with BellCraft Design Group on a second story addition project in Tangletown. Brian Palmberg has many wonderful qualities as a designer. He's a great listener; he understands the importance of aligning the design and budget; he has a huge attention to detail; he's creative; and he has a very calming disposition. We would not hesitate to work with BellCraft again and would definitely recommend the company to others.
