Top Residential Architects & Engineers in Arlington, VA

"Cindy is the owner/founder/GC builder for Curtis Ventures and we met her through a spec home she built. What stood out from her built home was the quality, craftsmanship, attention to detail, absolute genuine care and we could tell a vested interest. She was responsive, picked up on what we wanted without question, has fantastic connections around Arlington County to get permits on time and inspections done.Her team of subcontractors are top-notch from landscapers to masons to electricians to the carpenters to tile guys and lighting specialists-- everything. It made everything go so smooth and so quick. We just moved in about a month ago. Cindy herself is on-site every day for the job which is unusual. She is not spread thin like most builders and works at the same time and makes sure everything is taken care of. How she treats her subcontractors is outstanding, for example she established a Friday tradition where she provides food, lunch, and treats for her team and everyone else on site -- makes a big difference in a detail job from top to bottom. She was here at 7 am and didn't leave until the last contractor left every day."

"Adam, from Structural Engineering Solutions, was thorough, meticulous, and professional. He took his time explaining the cause of the problem and the available options to fix the issue. Turns out my contractor had misdiagnosed the issue. Adam provided great advice on the parts of the project I could do myself and the parts that were best left to a contractor. Definitely would recommend talking to Structural Engineering Solutions before talking to a contractor. "

"The contractors were professional from the first interaction towards the very end. They advised the best options that fit the existing layout of our house and made it an easy process. They took care of ordering the exact materials, and provided high quality wooden flooring installation. Would highly recommend!! Due to our satisfaction with the first project, we used their services to replace a roof on our rental property as well. Thank you!!"

"We were purchasing a home and during the inspection a very expensive structural issue was discovered. The seller agreed to fix and hire a licensed contractor for the repairs.

6 Days before closing the seller's contractor performs the repairs. I arrive at the job site 90 minutes after scheduled start to review the progress and no one is at the site. To my surprised, there are a few cosmetic repairs to hide the damage and other locations no work was even performed.

I took pictures, a video and contacted my agent to ask what's going on. Late that evening I'm informed the seller and their contractor are saying all repairs are complete.

5 Days before closing, I'm scrambling for an experienced and licensed structural engineer to review the work performed and advise if repairs resolved structural issue.

After spending half a day googling, researching reviews and calling engineers, I come across Bob. Bob was already booked out till mid afternoon Friday (We are closing Monday). So I schedule an appointment.

Thursday morning, I reach out to Bob to see to see if there was anyway possible, if he could squeeze us in today. Lucky for us he had a cancellation and was able to make it out early afternoon.

Bob arrived a few minutes ahead of schedule and had a very professional demeanor. Our agent and the sellers agent was on-site while Bob performed the inspection and handled the bombardment of questions from the seller agent like an experienced pro.

Bob quickly assessed that the repairs were cosmetic and did not resolve the structural issue. He was able to communicate in common language what was needed to properly repair the problem and provided a written report a couple days later.

From start to finish our experience with Bob has been fantastic and would highly recommend.

FYI: The bids coming from qualified contractors to repair the structural problems are exceeding 20k.

Thank you Bob for saving us from a nightmare."

"Bill is very creative, thoughtful, and very patient to work with. He and his company are developing blueprints for the renovation of our basement. His company is then going to submit the plans for permitting. He is also helping my wife with the design of our bathroom remodeling. We could not be more satisfied with a companies work."

"Scott is very professional and a breeze to workwith."

"Ayad is very patient, professional and knowledgeable. He didn't rush things at all and really took the time to check the house and educate me and my husband. He checked the house throughout including the basement, crawl space, attic, foundation, outside, etc. and he answered all of our questions. We feel much confident and comfortable about our house after his visit and know what the problem is and even things to look out for in the future. Appreciate his service and his price is very good too. Highly recommend!!"

"We have been working with Todd Willoughby since early in 2018. We had purchased a piece of land along the Chesapeake Bay and wanted to build a small but thoughtfully designed contemporary garden cottage for our retirement. After speaking with a number of architects we chose Todd and we have been very happy with that decision. Over several months, we worked have closely with him through the several design phases, culminating in a very complete set of construction documents, that we are now using for bidding. Throughout the process, we have found Todd to be personable, smart, perceptive and creative. He has been able to translate our ideas into working drawings that one of the contractors noted was called the most detailed he has ever seen. Todd has captured our vision for an environmentally friendly house with solar and rainwater harvesting. We have met with him many times talk through the many details, choices, and constraints you inevitably face. He has done all the coordination needed with the other specialties the engineers, surveyor, and solar energy firm. Having enjoyed this first part of the collaboration, we are hiring Todd to help us through the bid evaluations and construction admin phases. The best recommendation would be our actual house, but until we get there we can say Todd has done an excellent and professional job getting us this far, and we look forward to working with him through to a completed project."

"I think that he was very thoughtful in his work. He was understanding about what he was doing. He does a lot of historic work."

"Ricardo Hendi is a very nice, patient, and highly customer focused professional. I recommend him for your architectural needs."

"Scott is one genius architect, super helpful, very knowledgeable, and easy to work with. He's always there for you. He designed a home addition for us which turned into a landmark by so many onlookers. It's not easy project given the existing awkward design of the split-level. But he made it possible inside out. He's super thoughtful and pays close attention to every single inch of details. We're super happy with Scott's work and can't speak highly enough about him and his work. We absolutely recommend. "
