Dan with Residential Drafting Service was absolutely amazing. He was a pleasure to work with. He always responded in a timely manner and was considerate of all of our wants. We love what he did for us to say the least. Would definitely recommend and use his service again! Thanks so much Dan!
After giving Dan decisive directions, he continued to nickel and dime me. Then, I told him precisely what I wanted again, then he decided he wasn’t comfortable with my needs. It was clearly due to money. We didn’t need all of his services, and that’s when he decided he didn’t want to draft my house plan.Update:Dan is now arguing with me via email, which is very unprofessional. Again, I gave him very decisive instructions with no changes necessary. Then, when I told him I don’t need surveying, stamping, nor permits. That is when he felt that he couldn’t work for me. As for a negative review, his arguing through email, and poor customer service certainly warranted a negative review. I hope all see this and take this as a precaution. I have never wrote a bad review in my life and I was very hesitant with this one.
In an era when contractors and professionals don’t answer the phone, sometimes for days, I’m happy to say I had the exact opposite experience with Dan at Residential Draftsman Service. In the back and forth that’s necessary during the design period Dan always answered the phone and addressed my questions in a knowledgeable and friendly way. And the result of his work is top notch. You want to see what color awning looks good on your house? Dan’s CAD drawing show your actual brick colors in each drawing. Match the perfect color to go with your house. No guess work involved. That’s just one small feature that point to the attention to detail that is so important when choosing someone to design an addition to your home. Considering the personal service, and drawings that are art, I advise you to hire with confidence!
Dan has worked on our house plans. He took our cut outs from magazines and made it in to our dream home. He was easy to work with and reasonably priced! Would recommend him to my friends and family!
Dan was very easy to work with and delivered exactly what we needed. He always answered the phone and was prompt with email responses. Will definitely use him again on my next project.
Working with Dan was a seamless, easy and enjoyable process. Im very detailed oriented and knowledgeable about my project and Dan was incredibly respectful and knowledgeable to help guide our decision making process and procure drawings that we needed to go to contractors with quotes. As a women lead on this project I find that a lot of the draftsmen in the area spoke down to me or spoke over me and decided they knew what was best, stepping outside of what I asked them to do. I ended up choosing to work with Dan because of his professionalism and respect as well as his reasonable pricing and frequency of communication. His colleague Ann who helped along the way was a joy to work with as well and I would highly recommend them to my family and friends.
We would like to thank Dan, Ann and his team on how well they did for us. They were a big help. They explained it in detail, showed us the pictures, and even house plan layouts. When we had questions, they called and talked to us or even email. They helped us with everything that we needed to do. If you need an architect, I recommend them.
If you are looking for draftsman services. then look no further. Dan is personable, excellent at his craft and meticulous. He listens to your needs, clearly explains the project roadmap and keeps in constant communications. There is a very detailed collaboration with the client and you cant finish without feeling comfortable with the final product.
Dan is a total con artist, he has no design experience himself, he relies on experienced qualified designers to do his work, which he offers minimum wages. He hired me on terms, and refused to pay. He wants to pay professional designers only $20/hr to do $75+/hr work. He says he only charges clients $20/hr, but no way does that happen. If you want a quality company to represent you and what you want. Stay far away!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I found Residential Draftsman Service to be very professional, interested, and willing to provide great service for my garage project. Dan was in contact with me within minutes of my inquiry. I have recommended his services to several friends of mine already and expect they will have a pleasant experience as well.
We contracted with Dan to develop the construction and electrical plans for a recent home renovation. In a very short time, he produced draft drawings for us to review and modify. The final design package Dan produced was high quality and very comprehensive, enabling us to gain our building permit quickly. Dans willingness to share feedback and insight on our project, based on his extensive experience in construction and renovation, was a huge benefit to us. We will definitely use Dan again.
Mr. Dan Wentworth is very awesome architecture. He will explain and tell you what you should you do step by step before you sign a contract with him. He responded any questions when I asked him, quickly and fast. I was very pleased what he has done for me.Son Nguyen
Dan did great job designing our new addition. Everything was done through email and a few phone calls. Would highly recommend his services.
We recently used Dan for blueprints of our soon to be home. We gave him a very basic rough draft without even exact measurements. He gave us his rough/first draft in a very timely manner and then we worked together to make changes more than once due to us changing our minds. He was always willing and helpful and as fast as possible. We have worked with two other people on blue prints and our experience with Dan was the best!
We recently used Residential Draftsman Service and I highly recommend Dan to anyone considering these services. Some architects/engineers charge nearly $150 per hour so his rate is not only a great value but his help is outstanding. He is always quick to reply and obviously very knowledgeable and passionate about his craft. Dan even came out to the property to view the lay of the land which helped me to determine the placement of the house on the land. We also appreciated his communication and advice with questions and decisions that were new to us. We now have our final drawings and hope to start building this winter.
I needed architectural plans drawn for a house that I was building in Georgetown. Dan was experienced, knowledgeable and helpful, and created an amazing set of blueprints for the project. He was easy to communicate with, understood building codes, and offered suggestions along the way to help make the final design even better than expected. I highly recommend Residential Draftsman Service!
We recently used Dan for an addition project that we are working on. This was our first time using a draftsman as opposed to an architect so there was a bit of an unknown as to how things were going to go. In the beginning it went smoothly but then there was a communication barrier that we had to get past that I recognized presented itself to be a problem when trying to work with some one in an e-mail only format and clearly articulating what we wanted. As we worked though those things Dan reduced the hours, he had applied to the project to help financially on our end which was greatly appreciated. In the end Dan provided us with a great set of organized prints that we can now use for our project.Thank you, Dan
We brought Dan a project that had a tight timeline and some complexities. Dan shared with us that his goal is to manage his workload to ensure that the clients he accepts get his full attention. Dan was able to start our project, travel to our site and turn work product very quickly.
I was searching for an architect to create a blueprint drawing. I am wanting to build a three-bedroom two bath home on a slab. I found online, Residential Draftsman Service. They provide a Consulting Services, I paid them $30 for 30 minutes of consulting. I had lots of questions and they provided all the answers. I ended up using their drafting services to draft up my blueprint plans for my new home. I would recommend this business to anyone.
I was fortunate enough to find Residential Draftsman Service for my renovation project in Louisville, KY. Dan was a pleasure to work with and was extremely patient and helpful. He was able to convey my ideas into actual plans with accuracy and detail. I plan to continue to work with Dan on my future endeavors. Extremely trustworthy and reliable!!!
Dan is great to work with. Communicates promptly and is very honed in on his craft. 👍
Ive been collaborating with Dan for a few months. He has AMAZING design ideas and is very professional. You should check this company out for all your drafting needs!
Ive never previously considered writing a negative review of any company, and I work hard to not talk badly about others. So, Ive struggled with determining how to help others make an informed decision about hiring the right draftsman without talking badly about this company.I decided the best way to do this is to share the letters that were sent to me by this company. Youll see that the first letter agrees to refund me my money in full. However, after waiting for 3 weeks to receive that money, I received the 2nd attached letter that ignores his previous commitment to refund my money and threatens legal action if I speak about my experience with this company.There are many inaccuracies in these letters. However, I will not waste time refuting those (most of which I have written evidence to the contrary via emails), because I think it best to allow this companys own words help you make your own decision about whether or not you would like to do business with a company who talks to their clients and handles themselves in this manner.I hope this information helps you!
Thanks Dan for providing insight and ideas for my project. It was very helpful.
Dan is the man! I am the owner of AlphaOne Exteriors. We used Residental Draftsman Service to create a building plan for a storm damaged house we were rebuilding. The tornadoes in Dayton OH destroyed the house.I called many draftsmen services. Most never answered or returned my call. Dan answered on the first call and was ready to get to work for us.He had the plans back to to us quickly. He is a man of integrity. He charges a $500 deposit and works at a $50 per hour ratr. Afterwards refunded us $110 because he didnt use all the $500. I am very pleased with service and will be using them every time I need building plans.
