"Paul filed for bankruptcy and kept over 17K in monies paid in advance to him. He was supposed to do permitting for a basement ADU conversion, but it dragged on for months on end so I ended up taking over permitting and it was completed in 6 weeks. Workmanship on other kitchen/bath remodel projects was shoddy at best... 7 months after painting cabinets, paint is chipping; things not done to code; took months to get work redone (some never happened) and to get unfinished work addressed. Had to make multiple trips from out of state just to keep work moving forward. Stopped all communication and filed bankruptcy. Having to start from scratch on major remodel project."

"Levcor has truly surpassed our expectations with its exceptional craftsmanship and commitment to bringing our vision of a dream kitchen to life. What began as a casual conversation a few years ago has now become a reality, thanks to their deep knowledge of kitchen functionality, and their ability to see what the end result can be throughout the design process. Their meticulous attention to detail and dedication helped us make the most of our space and create a design we could never have imagined. Working alongside Mike Sawyer has been a remarkable experience. He perfectly balanced our aspirations with our budget, making the entire process seamless. Mike's guidance empowered us to explore various design options, reimagining our space while staying within our scope and budget. His foresight even saved us a significant amount on kitchen cabinet costs due to an impending 30% lumber price increase. Despite their extensive experience, Levcor maintains the warmth and attentiveness of a family-run business. Their genuine care and responsiveness echoed throughout every interaction and made us feel valued and understood at every stage of the project. Furthermore, the professionalism displayed by both the business owner and the contractors was commendable. Their commitment to delivering outstanding results while maintaining efficiency was evident in the timely completion of our project. The attention to detail was truly exceptional, blending functionality with aesthetics to create a kitchen that not only met but exceeded our expectations, taking a disjointed space and helping redefine it. What started as a small, cramped kitchen, is now an expansive space for baking or a casual meal and a conversation. We went from a glass cooktop and single electric oven to a 5-burner gas range, double oven, and even a proofing/warming drawer. In summary, Mike's exemplary work ethic, expertise, and genuine care make him an outstanding contractor. For anyone considering a significant home renovation project, like a kitchen remodel, Levcor's proficiency and personal touch promise a transformative experience, resulting in a space you'll treasure for years to come. Trust me on this, as our remodeled kitchen has provided my wife with the perfect 9-foot island to launch her small gluten-free baking business."

Building design services FAQs
Most municipalities require a building permit before you put up a pool house. Rules and fees vary widely depending on where you live and the local regulations in your area. Check with your local building department or general contractor early on in your pool house project, so permit costs and timelines don’t catch you off guard.
If you’re building a custom pool house, you can expect the entire process to take two to three months from the design phase to the end of construction, or even as much as a year for very large or complex pool houses. If you’re installing a prefabricated kit or shed, the process is much faster, averaging one to three days.
A pool house is generally sized between 100 square feet and 800 square feet, which means its dimensions directly reflect its intended functionality. A compact pool house, measuring 100 to 150 square feet, serves as an efficient storage or utility space, while a pool house of 300 square feet or more offers a comfortable room for changing, relaxation, and socializing. The size you choose depends on the intended use and design of your outdoor space, ensuring that the structure meets your lifestyle needs.
The common types of pool houses include guesthouses, standard pool houses, and sheds. A guesthouse is a small lodge adjacent to the primary home that provides overnight accommodations with essential amenities. A standard pool house is built near the pool to offer storage, changing facilities, and a relaxation zone. A shed is a simple structure designed for storing pool equipment and garden tools. Each type serves a distinct purpose and enhances your outdoor living experience.
