Fernando is a very meticulous detail oriented draftsman. I would recommend his services to draft as-built drawings of existing structures.

I've worked with Fernando on several real estate rehab projects and I was able to get my drawings done for a lot less! I got my projects done right, on-time and on-budget - Fernando did a great job!

Fernando Suarez was very helpful in choosing colors for rooms in my new house. He tuned into the moods that I wanted for each room and also what was good for the house. Since I normally agonize over what colors to pick, he made the process much more pleasant and I was really happy with the results.
He also was excellent in helping me create design layouts for potential kitchen and bathroom remodels. He came up with quite a few ideas. I was surprised at how quickly he worked and I loved his solutions to small space problems.– Karen
