TESTIMONIALS

“Jiri Hajek provided his architectural design services for our new house. Positive customer reviews made me select his services for our project. His attention to detail, professional knowledge and flexibility are some of the strengths that separate him from others. He is extremely accommodating and dependable. At times, we had to attend to family obligations that required extensive overseas and out of state travels but Jiri, very patiently, kept everything under control and on track. He values customer's unique needs and practicality. I highly recommend him.”

Qureshil

“I am a custom home builder and have used Jiri Hajek on multiple projects. The Hajek & Associates team produces exceptional work at a very fair price. Additionally the entire team is simply a real pleasure to deal with, customer service is clearly a priority for Mr. Hajek! For our building projects Hajek & Associates is our architect of choice.”

Brandon Currey

“Jiri designed our home. He took a rough sketch concept we handed him and designed a beautiful, very livable home. We've lived in the house for five years now, and it's still our dream house. He was very thoughtful in the design, making choices that add to the comfort the house provides. Things we love include an upstairs overlook on the foyer, a dining room and upstairs office that create an interesting angle on the home's exterior, the Victorian-esque exterior, the breezeway connecting the garage and house, the large master bath with separate toilet area, the open concept kitchen... I could go on, but I'll leave it with a very sincere recommendation for Jiri Hajek.”

Jenel Looney

“Jiri designed our home we built in 2012. Working with Jiri was a pleasure and his attention to our needs and requirements met and exceeded our expectations. I have been associated with the design and construction industry for over 30 years and I will say working with Jiri to design and adapt our house plans is one my top construction experiences.”

Charles Gault

“My name is Benjamin Feldt and I am a structural engineer in Austin, Texas. My company, Feldt Consulting Engineers, has worked with Hajek and Associates on numerous projects as a consultant designing foundations and framing. Jiri and his team are extremely professional and up to the task of any residential project. We see a lot of architectural plans come through our office and can easily identify the quality and Hajek’s are among the best. Having worked with Hajek on many projects I can verify many of the customer reviews posted here because I was personally involved with these projects.”

Ben Feldt

“As a retired custom home builder, we decided NOT to tell Jiri how to draw our house plans but rather TELL him what we wanted in a home. The resulting house plans were above and beyond what anyone could ever have asked for from any architect. That only comes from a firm that is not only very creative but one that actually LISTENS to what the clients want in their custom home.”

Alan Kinney

“We met Jiri Hajek thru Rostrata Builders and he designed our home in the Mera Vista subdivision of Round Rock in 2010. Jiri has a remarkable ability to listen to the client’s conceptual needs of the project therefore producing a very detailed unique design of the home. Jiri spends an enormous amount of time in the initial design meetings completely understanding the lot specifications, the functionality of the home, the orientation of the lot and its relation to the neighborhood and the conceptual needs for the home. Because of his complete understanding, he is able to produce a final product in a short amount of time. My husband I were extremely impressed and would highly recommend him to someone considering a custom home design.”

Steve & Terry McCord

“Jiri is a great designer. By listening to the client in extreme detail and studying the land, Jiri is able to create a home that is unique to each homeowner. His designs are functional and beautiful. I look forward to working with Jiri more in the future.”

Shawn Reaux

“Jiri truly does a marvelous job from beginning to end. Hajek & Associates [designed] a beautiful home on Lake Travis. Every attention to detail was there throughout the entire process. Jiri listens very well, is patient, and is creative. An all around star. We are extremely happy with our home.”

Jim & Sharon Clishem

“If you want to know about Jiri, just meet with him for an hour and we’re confident you will find him completely courteous, professional and knowledgeable on the design of your dream home. We give him our highest recommendation. Ask him for references and we will be glad to talk to you.”

Matt & Laura Mertz

“Jiri designed our home after listening intently to our wishes. The very first pass, we had very few changes. A testament to his ability to listen and discern the client’s needs and wants. We love the way our house turned out!”

Corky Barho

“Jiri’s understanding of our vision and his ability to translate that into a final working set of drawings has been amazing. My wife and I are very pleased with the final outcome and highly recommend Hajek & Associates to anyone who is considering a custom designed home.”

Dennis Donnatin

“Professional, well laid out plans, and an excellent eye for detail is what we think of when we think of HAJEK & Associates. As Home Builders, we appreciate the highly accurate blueprints that HAJEK & Associates deliver.”

Virginia Scott

“This is an excellent Home Design firm. Jiri has designed countless custom homes for an array of my clients. He listens extremely well and is super creative. I highly recommend him.”

Howard Kirk

“Jiri is a great designer with an eye for practical design and problem solving while still incorporating style and a unique flow to any design. I worked with Jiri on dozens of projects and was constantly amazed at his ability to deliver a design that exceeded the client’s expectations. I strongly recommend Jiri’s services to anyone looking for a unique custom design to their next new home.”
