**★★★★★ — Les Viegas, Jan. 2016**

> My wife and I consider ourselves fortunate to have benefited from Lou DesRosiers’ brilliant architectural work on several of our renovations over the years. We are in awe of his creative design skills, his attention to detail, his pursuit of excellence in everything he does and his ability to remove any design barriers to satisfy his clients’ needs. There is no design problem that Lou cannot solve. He is a very honest, trustworthy, talented, energetic architect whom we are proud to consider a friend.
>
> Lou recently directed the complete renovation of our newly purchased condo which we totally gutted and rebuilt over an 8 month period in 2015. We are delighted with the end product of this renovation which we consider a showpiece. It includes a number of innovative design features including the use of “switch glass” for the custom front door, Lou’s signature tiered cove ceilings, Juno lighting, Lutron shades, strategically placed doors and windows that maximize lake views, a state-of-the-art kitchen and AV system, and several home automation features.
>
> We recommend DesRosiers Architects unconditionally and are available to elaborate on our assessment or answer any questions related to their work for us.

> Les & Chris

**★★★★★ — Usztan, LLC, Feb. 2014**

> Lou and his crew are absolutely amazing.  If you can dream it, they can design it.  We have worked with Lou on dozens of projects throughout Oakland County.  If you are looking for a high end Architect, look no further.

**★★★★★ — Grabill Windows & Doors, Dec. 2013**

> We have worked with DesRosier Architects on multiple projects over the years.  Their spectacular homes are always well designed with meticulous attention to detail.  The entire staff is always helpful throughout the entire process and are committed to building client relationships that last long after the project is complete.  We would highly recommend DesRosier Architects and looking forward to working with them again.

**★★★★★ — Linda Bull, Oct. 2013**

> We had a complete kitchen tear down. Kurtis Kitchen based in Michigan stayed on target and our kitchen was a storybook experience in less than 6 weeks!

**★★★★★ — Jonathan Merritt, July 2012**

> The very best architectural firm in the business. Very professional team and very good at expanding your vision into your dream home!

They have children and grandchildren who often stay for extended periods of time, therefore the home was also designed with the entire family in mind. The residence has a completely maintenance-free exterior made entirely of sto…
