**★★★★★ — Markeeta Brown, March 2017**

> Tim Curry of Design Solutions is the best combination of creativity, practicality, attention to detail and professionalism that I have encountered in my extensive experience with contractors and designers.  (I’ve been involved in 9 remodeling projects in 5 towns.)     At several junctures of the project – beginning with my original idea to expand a small porch and later when we were working on details such as cabinetry and lighting – he offered suggestions that achieved my goals but were more cost-effective and better aesthetically.   In addition to improving the functionality of the small porch, he designed and built a cover for a large irregularly shaped portal/patio that neither felt cozy nor provided any protection from the New Mexico sun.   The finished result adds about 400 sq. feet of what feels like another room to the house.   He also managed various updates to the interior that fulfilled the potential of its already excellent “bones.”    The house’s previous owners had used him for a complicated drainage/foundation project, and he came to the real estate inspection on a Saturday afternoon just so that he could answer any questions I had and facilitate the sale for his clients.  His crew and sub-contractors were top-notch: skilled, respectful of the property and beyond patient with my dogs.   Tim truly is a Designer/Builder in the largest sense of the words, and I really envy anyone that hires him to build a house from scratch since I’m sure that would be an even more impressive display of his vision and competence.

> Tim has a great eye for design and is excellent to work with. His resume of successful projects and satisfied clients goes on and on. What Tim brings to the project is design, creativity, ease of communicating your ideas and reality when it comes to time frame and budget. Having met a number of his clients at receptions and open houses, I can say with certainty that Tim met and exceeded their expectations.

> Over the years, I have worked with scores of design and architectural firms providing design, documents, 3D models and renderings. Design Solutions has been one of the best firms that I have worked with.
