I bought a house in Altadena and had a friend of mine who is a commercial contractor helping me with the remodel. Then the unthinkable happened… we were RED TAGGED by the county due to him not pulling proper permits! What a nightmare!!! For a 2 month period, my contractor and I went back and forth to the county offices to no avail. Then I called Miguel for help. Thank God I did! He is so knowledgeable about the process and held my hand throughout. At one point, I thought it was a lost cause… but with his persistence (as well as calming effect… he definitely talked me off the ledge a few times!) He helped me resolve the red tag issue… we were finally able to pull permits! I just wished I called him ahead of time! He also has a full team of contractors, electricians, plumbers, etc… a real one stop shop! Thank you Miguel for all your help and patience!

Miguel Alvarado is a very creative and competent architect. He has done a couple of mid size single family-​residential remodels for me in the past 2 years. He is easy to work with and has good work ethics. I strongly recommend him for architectural design work.

Miguel is highly competent architect suitable for complicated work. Also knows the nook and crany of delicate work of getting permit in Pasadena. We are glad that we used his service to do our fairly large project. Definitely the person to consult with before starting home project especially in Pasadena.

I’m working on a complex hillside project and have had a difficult time getting it going. Miguel Alvarado was recommended to me as someone who would be beneficial to my project and when he came on board, the project quickly began to take shape. Miguel is incredibly knowledgeable. It is amazing how he is able to work through really difficult problems and keep things on track. He is conscientious and reliable. He quickly responds to any issues that come up and is able to make in-​the-​field corrections that help avoid costly work delays. He and his team have made a significant difference in my project, and in my peace of mind. He has expertly handled the planning, design, engineering, permitting and management of my project. Miguel is easy to work with and very professional. I would recommend Giisamex Inc. without any reservation.

I started working with my Dad in the early 60’s. I received my general contractor’s license in 1977. I have dealt with a lot of people in the trades. Miguel is by far the best architect and expediter ever. He made it painless and was so professional at the permit center. I highly recommend him for any projects.

I have been working on a home remodel job with Miguel for the past year (the permitting process has taken this long, not Miguel). Miguel is super knowledgable, patient and competively priced. If you are considering any project, Miguel’s knowledge base really helps as you go through the process with confidence and professionalism. On top of that Miguel is just a super nice person!
