Report
We picked Vadim for our home elevator project after reviewing several architects. He is not only knowledgeable but also easy to work with, courteous and willing to listen as to what we want. He is also thorough in his work, gathering as much background information as possible to start the project, and following through with designs meeting our needs. We also like that he is responsive, always prompt in replying to our questions. His is worth the fair fee he charges. We would not hesitant to refer him to any one for architectural services.
