My wife and I worked with Jon on an extensive renovation/remodel, and addition. A large, complicated project to say the least. Jon stuck with us through many, many, revisions... The entire time being patient and professional. Jon's expertise and knowledge in structure and engineering helped save the day when we had a large issue during construction. While I was completely panicking, Jon came to the house, calmed and reassured us, and presented real time fixes and solutions. I thank you Jon, for answering every text, phone call, and email (We have not been easy on him). I highly recommend this expert architect and wouldn't hesitate in using him in the future. Thank you so much Schultz Architecture. Sincerely, Joel and Melissa Hurst

Even when I had unannounced extra work for Jon he made it available to make sure that my job was finished and went above and beyond getting the paperwork done in a very timely matter

Jon Schultz and his team at Schultz Design + Drafting provided a very positive experience for my wife and I when we looked into ideas to build an attractive unattached outbuilding in a HOA community. Jon has great vision and a unique ability to hear all the desires of his clients and translate them into his design. Jon visited our site to help educate us on the possibilities we have along with what we where not able to do with our property having several set-backs and obstacles to work around. It was a great experience because of the communication and availability Jon gave us of his time. He worked within our budget and most importantly his work executed was done in a prompt manner. His team provides great service and the more personalized experience of a small firm. You will enjoy the process and the outcome if you choose Schultz Design + Drafting.
Response from Schultz Architecture
"Cliff and is wife were great to work with. The site was very challenging due to numerous setbacks (township) and restrictions (HOA) We developed a vey well thought out plan and submitted it to the township for approval. But the plan was rejected because of a little known local technicality. We revised the plan with little effort and have resubmitted."

We used Jon for drawing up plans and drawings for our home renovation. His was easy to work with, understood what we wanted done, and was very thorough in both his dealings with us and in his drawings. He is very good at what he does and we would recommend him highly.
Response from Schultz Architecture
"They were a great couple to work with. They are a retired couple from the Chicago area who purchased a small home near Paw Paw, Michigan. To make the home more livable they wanted to convert the existing 2 car garage into a family room. Major requirements for the renovation included: a large bank of windows in place of the garage door (with a matching set on a sidewall opposite a stone clad fireplace). A new side entry was also included. The exterior is to have stone wainscot and a stone clad chimney. Since the garage was converted to a family room, Tony contracted us for a new detached garage at the back of the property."

Jon and I worked through some very unusual design elements for my house remodeling. He was easy to work with and very accomodating and provided contacts on different topics such as live roofs. I believe the remodeling effort will add beauty and functionality to my home and the prints will make it much better to plan and budget with the general contractor.
Response from Schultz Architecture
"Nancy is a great person to work with. Since she is an engineer she has the vision of what she wants. But due to her very busy schedule she contracted with me to assemble her ideas on paper. Due to her busy schedule this is still an ongoing project."

Jon Schultz showed great knowledge and experience in building construction. He was willing to work with an existing foundation and to incorporate and approve existing structure like our rough-sawed oak beam. Jon's many suggestions helped us take our own plans and add more open areas and better traffic flow. During our project his company experienced growing pains in that a new subcontractor he started using was negligent in drawing the final blueprints in a timely manner. Jon quickly remedied the problem, took on the final drawings himself, and completed them. He came through with plans in time for us to begin construction that autumn.

Schultz drafting far exceeded my expectatons when it came to remolding our home. Jon was very professional and always willing to adjust his schedule in order to complete the job. He was able to provide us with three seperate rough drafts regarding the remodel, which gave us tons of options and new idea's. We will definately go to him again with our second edition we plan on adding on.

Jon Schultz at Schultz Drafting and Design was excellent to work with! He listened and took the time to really work with my dream on the rehab of my Mom's cottage. His thoroughness and creativity really came through in the project. The head building inspector in New Buffalo was also very impressed with his drawings and said they were "Complete and very thorough". He was early with the deadlines and communicated with me every step of the way. I highly recommend his company for all your architecture needs. I have nothing bad to say about his work.

Jon was a pleasure to work with. He carefully listened to our ideas, spent a lot of time measuring and taking pictures, and produced a fnal set of drawings for our lake cottage remodel that surpassed our expectations. He was very knowledgeable about local codes and contacted inspectors on our behalf. I would definitely recommend him to anyone who is seeking a professional architect!

John was a delight to work with. We searched for several architects before deciding on John. John was very flexible, listened to all our needs, and was able to take the abstract and turn that into a workable plan that was as near to perfect as we had imagined. In addition, he was very helpful when it come to future building costs and being �green�. He understands budgets and restrictions and works to deliver a functional plan that exceeds expectations. We had a somewhat difficult design being on a lake and designing on limited lot size with existing cabin being a shell. John�s design far exceeded our expectations and we are very happy with the results. I would highly-recommend John and we are excited to continue our relationship with John throughout the build process.
