It is great opportunity to work with Open Remodel. People is really passionate/proactive to help us for any additional work and their system is well organized. Whenever we give some new idea, they always apply every single detail into new design and they provide better view using their great system. Also, each area needs some specific experience for processing permit, especially Palo alto area. They have enough experience to control it and I would like to recommend someone needs home construction in Palo alto area.

We are very happy with the architectural plan Open Remodel came up with for our kitchen project. Open Remodel is a branch of a realty company. (They also offer realty and construction services.)
We interviewed another firm before finding Open Remodel on Yelp. The other company's price estimate for architectural plans kept going up and up. It was like they were feeling us out for how much we could pay. It was a huge red flag. We are willing to pay a fair price but we don't want to be taken advantage of. The quote we received from Ashish (one of the owners of Open Remodel) was fair and
