Work was ok, but very unreliable and did not return my drawing materials after the job was completed. Basically does not care for people, only cares to get paid.

What a find! I've been unanchored and confused for many weeks, dealing with architects for an addition and remodel to my 1940s house. I decided that before I could do anything, I had to see my existing floor plan, on paper. I found Yakov by luck. In less than four days, I've got a comprehensive floor plan of my house, at a more than reasonable cost. He's not just a great draftsman, he's a trouble-free, totally buttoned up professional.

I needed floor plans for a remodel I'm doing and after calling multiple architects and draftsmen Yakov was the only one who put me at ease and promised prompt service. His quote was also far more fair than anyone else's, and you can tell Yakov understands the plight of someone navigating structural changes and the permitting process. I am so, so thrilled with the work he did on our proposal and his communication was excellent every step of the way. Not to mention everything was extremely quick. Highly recommend Yakov if you are looking for design help and need a kind person to talk to

My Uncle asked me to help him find someone who can get an ADU done on their investment property in West Adams, I found Yakov Design on google and after our initial consultation decided to hire him. Fast forward 1 month and my plans are done and everything is done EXACTLY like my uncle wanted!! Thanks to Yakov and his team we are months ahead of schedule for this project.
