ABOUT CRAIG HERRMANN DESIGN

Craig Herrmann Design is an architectural design firm with a focus on residential design and construction. We love bringing home owner through the design and construction process and educating them along the way. Have you ever wanted to do a construction project on your house but didn’t know where to start? It can be pretty scary.

I didn’t really understand the emotional side of home design and construction until I designed the addition for my own house. As soon as I saw the roof being torn off I knew there was no turning back. When you completely understand the design process and how things are being built, fear of the unknown will slip away.

That first night that I spent in our house after the project was completed is something I never want to forget. The transformation was complete and it was everything that we had hoped for. We all have dreams of what our house could be. That vision can make a house a home. If you have that vision in your head and in your heart, we would love to make that dream come true for you.

WHO IS CRAIG HERRMANN AND HOW DOES HE KNOW ABOUT THIS STUFF?

CRAIG

When I was a kid I was always building huts in the backyard or making things with Legos and Erector Sets. My love for building really fell into place when my mother had an addition put on our house. I was 9 years old and in awe of everything that was going on. From there I knew I wanted to be a builder and it was the path for me. I went to a vocational high school in their carpentry program. There were two groups of students. One group would be in classes during the week while the other group was in the field actually building a house. The two groups would switch off each week. We were truly learning to draw plans one week and building a house the next week. From there I went to college and got my degree in architectural engineering and started working for an architect and designing houses with him. Learning how to design and build in high school truly groomed me to better visualize how good design transitions into a better building.

What Do You Get out of Working with Us?

You work hard for your money, therefore we truly want you to get the best bang for your buck. It is crucial that we can design within your construction budget. If you don’t know how much your want to spend on the construction project, that is our starting point. We will not design something for you that you can not afford to build. We will walk you through each phase of the design process and will not proceed to the next step without making sure you are completely satisfied with our creation. Together, as we complete the design drawings, we will transition into the construction process. We will support you during building of the design and will not leave until you are satisfied with the finish product.

We have a list of successful projects and satisfied clients.
