3 Best Residential Architects in Joliet, IL

Craftstone Architects is one of Plainfield's best kept secret in my opinion. Mike, the owner, and Eric, the muscle - ha, are the most honest and hard working people you'll run into when building your new home. They're also really FUN to work with. Mike's a big teddy bear. At his core he likes to take care of people. He goes above and beyond with every project and you can trust that he always puts YOUR best interests first (which is SUPER rare in this industry, let me tell you). I turned to Craftstone Architects in March 2017 after having difficulties with my previous "design" (and I use that phrasing lightly) and build general contractor. My project was a hot mess. I was left with a partially built house, no plans, and I was out over $200K with nothing to show for it. If Mike was smart, he would have said no to helping me. But he didn't. He took on my project and handled it with finesse. I received frequent updates and quite simply - he made my wife and I's dreams a reality. Something the previous company totally failed at. Miserably. Craftstone has been with me every step of the way, always there to offer a helping hand, even when it's something outside of their scope/offering. I'm SOOO looking to having Mike and Eric over for a cold one so I can show them the finished product that they played such an important role in helping us build.

Craftstone Architects is a great company to do business with, I have worked with them on two corporate projects so far. If it wasn't for Mike we wouldn't have been able to get permit approval in a timely manner for our steel walk way that connects our two buildings to allow pedestrian traffic.

Mike was a pleasure to work with. We built a home and had Mike draw up the plans. He made our dream home come to fruition. As with all custom home building, there were some surprises that came along the way. But Mike helped us navigate through them. In the end, we came to finally having our dream home.
