Testimonials

  • A small, dark gray wooden house with a gabled roof at sunset, surrounded by trees and neighboring houses, with a gravel yard and concrete porch in the foreground.

    "I couldn't be happier with the ADU Megan designed for our property. She listened carefully to our ideas, then elevated them with her own creative vision. Her attention to detail and commitment to quality made the entire process smooth and enjoyable. Her positive energy and genuine enthusiasm for the project was the cherry on top! I would highly recommend Megan! ”

  • Modern house with large windows overlooking a mountainous landscape during sunset, with a stone fire pit in the foreground.

    "Working with Megan made our dream home become a reality. The knowledge and expertise she demonstrated through the first initial meeting through the design working with the engineer and helping to make the submittal process was a real pleasure. We look forward to adding a guest house later in the future and working with Megan again.

    "We had the pleasure of working with Megan Jost in designing how to install a spiral staircase into a small space. We have been dreaming of connecting our downstairs garage/storage space to the main house. We had little space to work with and had been discouraged but her construction savvy foresight and creative collaboration made it happen. She is professional and clear in her communication in all aspects of her service from design to process. She is highly personable, understanding and talented. Megan has also has helped us design plans to remodel and expand living space. We look forward in continuing to work with her in executing all future house remodel and addition projects and highly recommend."
