“It’s hard to say in just a few sentences how happy we are with what Patrick has done for us, other than to just say we are extremely happy.  Yes, he has all the skills you would want in a good designer like artistic, stylish, organized, prompt, professional, courteous, attentive, etc., but there was also something else that’s not so easy to put into words.  It was his sense of knowing how to transform our dreams into reality.  Right from the beginning, he just seemed to get what we were looking for, and within a few weeks, his preliminary plans proved that to be true.

 

The project itself went perfectly.  We took advantage of Patrick’s plan runner service and he handled all matters with the city permitting process.  That was money very wisely spent!  Once everything was signed off, he worked directly with our builder and the two of them made the construction seem almost effortless.  During that time, he called just about every week, checking if we had questions or concerns.  Knowing that Patrick was paying attention to all the little details really gave us a sense of calmness not always common with first-time homebuilders like us.

 

We have lived in the house for a year now (sorry it took so long for us to write this), and still get up every day happier with the house than the day before.  There is no doubt that Patrick was a huge part of making our dreams come true, and for that we will always be thankful to him.”

“When we met Patrick, we immediately knew that we had found the person who had the ideas, the plan, the expertise and the personality that would make our project “come alive”. Over time this assessment has proved to be absolutely correct. He’s very knowledgeable, organized, kept us informed and met the required deadlines – often giving us the necessary nudge. Even after fulfilling his part, he has remained in contact, offered valuable assistance and played a dominant role in successfully completing the project.

“Patrick has designed, what has been called by many (including the West Coast editor of Better Homes & Gardens), the most spectacular house on the West Coast for us. Located in Lincoln City, OR, it is spectacularly designed to get the best views of the ocean and we love it.

We were very fortunate to find Patrick as our home designer. We very highly recommend him.”

“Patrick is one of those rare designers who not only has vision, expertise and experience, but he displays something even more important to anyone building a custom home. Most designers only see their own ideas and just want to sell you their plans. Patrick has the ability to see your ideas and understands that each project has constraints from engineering needs to budgets that all need to work together. That's why after being a custom home builder for almost 20 years, I chose Patrick Schmitt to design my personal home.”

 

“Thanks Patrick, my wife loves it!”

“When working with Patrick, you can expect nothing but the best. From his unique plan style to his ability to adapt any plan to fit the clients taste. Patrick takes a true interest in each and every project, following it through until the end. I would recommend Patrick Schmitt to anyone looking for a variety of livable and unique plans, as well as, a designer with your best interests at heart.”

President - Lakeside Custom Homes

 

 

“We engaged Mr. Schmitt in November, 2006, outlining for him our ideas for a dream house on rural property which has been in the Pubols family for nearly 100 years.  From then until the final plans were completed in September, 2007, Mr. Schmitt worked diligently to provide house plans, undertaking several revisions as our ideas evolved.  His activities included working with a consulting engineer, visiting the building site and accompanying us to a meeting with the Washington County authorities.  In all cases he has shown a high level of professionalism.  He has been friendly, open to our often changing thoughts on what we really wanted and displayed a good sense of humor throughout.  As clients we recommend him highly.”

“Patrick and I have worked on several outstanding projects together. He is a talented designer who is highly knowledgeable in all aspects of residential design and construction. Patrick provides exceptional organization and planning skills with a strong focus on customer service, something I value highly. His final plan sets are very well prepared... they save me time and my clients’ valuable dollars.

 

I would highly recommend Patrick for all of your design, planning and project consulting needs.”

“Patrick Schmitt has been one of our favorite clients and collaborators going back to his Claremont days.  He has been a leader in the use of CAD in home design and has helped us many times with our own office system.  His houses are carefully detailed and our structural components are integrated with good understanding.  As a result, he has good relationships with sophisticated permitting agencies like the City of Portland and Washington County.”
