We called JCD for a design quote on a home addition. They came to our house for about 90 minutes to give an estimate, then sent a contract that was 50% more expensive than they just told us at that visit! I asked why the discrepancy and they simply said the job was going to take longer than they expected. So, I told them we werent going to move forward and they sent a bill for $500 for that short visit. I offered to pay for up to 2 hours time, but they wouldnt have it so I feel obligated to leave this review for others. I am sure they do great work based on other reviews but our experience was terrible. We asked a total of 5 companies to quote for a home addition design and theirs was the most expensive by a wide margin. The company we ended up using was roughly $4,000 cheaper (which wasnt the least expensive quote). Their quote for plans on a home addition (roughly 1,000sqft) was more expensive than a 5,000sqft brand new custom home design with the company we used.

Was looking on Houzz for ideas of homes with indoor Sport Courts. Thats when I found JCD Design and James. Looked at almost every home they have designed, and their designs were very functional and well thought out. Contacted them over the phone since I live in Ohio and hired James to do our custom design. Great communication and a simple process. My builder is extremely happy so far with the plans. Will post results when completed.Thank Todd

We worked with James Carrick to prepare plans for an addition to our home. The plans included quite a bit of remodeling to the existing home, to accommodate the addition. James came to our home and discussed the project, also taking measurements. He drew a proposed plan and then the refining began. Each time we met, we would bring a list of questions or concerns and potential changes. James would brainstorm possibilities with us to deal with our concerns, and begin drafting some of the possibilities on the spot so we could imagine how the elements would fit together. One time we even brought our builder with us to the appointment as we were finalizing the plans. At one point when I was very concerned about a certain area where a big beam would transition to the new part of the house, James had his father Joe join our meeting (with our builder there too) and they both talked with us about my concerns until we came to a decision. I always felt that we had plenty of time to work out concerns and ask questions, and we were very grateful for James creative suggestions. One especially great idea he had was to include a two-sided fireplace at the transition between the existing home and the addition. We would probably never have thought of doing a fireplace that way and now it is one of our favorite parts of the addition. Our project is now finished and we are so happy that we worked with the Carricks. We would highly recommend their services to anyone.

We hired JCD to design the house of our dreams. They were very easy to work with and were able to turn our description of what would be a dream house, into a design that ultimately became a reality. Throughout the process they continued to give us ideas on how to make the floorplan as functional and inviting as possible. In addition, our contractor commented that the plans provided by JCD were very easy to work with, helping the project move smoothly. I would use them again.

JCD Custom Home Design are fantastic. They are professional, provide a great architectural design and have the industry knowledge to provide a complete design package. I do not hesitate to recommend them to a client.

My wife and I could not be more satisfied with our entire experience with Joe Carrick Design! Joes vast experience, meticulous attention to detail and superior ability to orchestrate a custom home is unmatched in the valley. What we valued most was how JCD injected so many insightful suggestions into our original ideal home design. Joe made us feel comfortable, he communicated extremely well and we knew all along that the home he designed for us would be well thought out and would carry his trademark curb appeal. We cannot say enough about the professional product that JCD produces. We feel we have made caring, genuine friends for life and appreciate doing business with men of such high integrity. Thank you Joe and James for creating such a beautiful custom home for us! Cliff and Holly

Awesome, that is the only way to describe Joe and his staff. They were very patient with us, and helped us create a dream home. Their designs are so good, we have had random people stop by our home to see who designed and built it. Thanks Joe.
