John was very reassuring when I called him in a panic about the balcony we are trying to build. We had already hired a contractor and found out we were not going to satisfy the codes of the village, and had to hire an architect in order to do so. I had never had to do that before, and thought it would too expensive. John came to meet us right away so he could get started on the plans. The village codes are very numerous and strict, and John found a way to help us get exactly what we wanted, without having to sacrifice any space to meet these codes. At the beginning of the process, I asked John if he could give me a ball park on how much his services would cost, and the final bill was pretty much spot on what said it would be. John is a very talented architect with a kind and knowledgeable disposition. It was our pleasure to work with him. I would use his services again, and highly recommend him to others. More...

I recognized quickly that John was very knowledgeable and was concerned about drawing a deck and stairway plan that would remain a safe structure. Very happy with his plan.

John is the nicest and most kind man! Very, very knowledgeable, honest, and giving. Although the project didn't work out, John took the time on the phone and in person to explain so many things about our area.

After my home inspection I had some concerns regarding the structure. I hired John to take a look at the home and give his expert opinion. He not only did a great job at that but went above and beyond and took a look at many other pain points I had from the initial report. He also spoke directly with the home owner regarding some repairs that should be made and instructed how the home owner could do so. The home owner ended up repairing the items John recommended saving me time and hassle in the future. Extremely impressed with John's work and would highly, highly recommend. More...

I am a general contractor and I used Hrivnak and associates on a fairly large (over $250,000) renovation project in Schaumburg Illinois. I have found John to be thorough, practical, and very approachable. I highly recommend him for any project you may be considering. More...

Dear John Hrivnak,
Just a note to let you know how absolutely pleased we were with the plans you drew up for our house additions and renovations.
After working with other architects and seemingly getting nowhere, you came in, listened to our needs and requests then added your expertise and talent. The results could not have been better - spot on!
Thank you - Thank you - Thank you
Sincerely,
Arthur & Susan Czer

We hired John to provide a set of drawings for the purpose of getting permits, and thoroughly enjoyed working both with him and Sue, who was well suited to draft our project. John's doodles and creative ideas showed that he really thought about our project and what we wanted the house to end up like. More...

John Hrivnak created a kitchen design for us and measured our entire house for future reference. In addition, he put together the plans for us to bring to our city to secure a permit for our kitchen remodel.
John was easy to work with and gave his thoughts about the design but also allowed us to be part of the creative aspect. Finally, he worked within our budget and created a great design. We hope to get the demo started soon on our kitchen update. It was a pleasure working with John.

John, came to my house in August 2013, to give me advice and help on some archectural and structural work in my deck house. It is all made of wood and started to show some weathering. John was very professional and give me great advice on how to proceed with all the repairs. He and some talented workers did those repairs. Fantastic work. The house looks incredible. More...

John and his team were perfect fit for our 60's ranch rehab in Elgin, Illinois. We needed someone who could make our creative ideas bloom and keep them realistic. This ambitious DIY project benefited not only from his vast design history but also his experience with building and zoning departments. He gets a special merit badge for navigating Cook County! He worked within our budget and allowed for in-the-field creativity. His strengths include listening, pulling out the essence of our desires, and interpreting that via exciting design options. We also loved his ability to bring an artist's heart to the architect's desk. More...
