He was very quick to reach out, we met the next day to go over the project in person at the sight and seamed knowledgeable and professional. Had received a quote that same night and got to work on it as soon as we signed on with him. More...
Gregory Brooks
Architectural Services
Doug is a great architect and engineer and a wonderful person to work with. He spent a significant amount of time getting to know our house (with all its challenges) and understanding our vision for what we wanted to make it into. I was very impressed that he could approach the project from both an architectural perspective as well as the engineering aspect. Doug brought a lot of experience and creativity to the table which we really appreciated. I would strongly recommend using him on your project and look forward to using him again as we continue our ongoing work on our home. More...
