### Reviews

**★★★★★ — Morley Contracting, Oct. 2023**

> Avery was very helpful and did a great job with professional drawings for two of my remodeling projects. When I have that need again, I will not worry to call anyone else.

**★★★★★ — Jody Kizis, Jan. 2023**

> After much searching, my wife and I found Avery’s Studio and hoped she could help us design our dream home. We sent Avery our expectations, likes and dislikes, and gave a lot of confusing references. However, she came back with everything we could’ve asked for and more!
>
> She always communicated quickly and helped make our dream home take shape. She was really easy to work with and was honest in her opinions; a really professional you could trust. When the design was finalized, she even drew a beautiful concept of the home that my wife fell in love with.
>
> Once the design was finalized and we started the build, she still made herself available for us. We needed assistance with engineering and her experience with them helped make the issue a breeze. She also quickly altered a basement layout a few days before the plumbers needed the update.
>
> We have dealt with other designers and Avery was by far the best! She is extremely knowledgeable, professional, and affordable! If you want someone to put the personalized touch on your dream home without being charged excessively, give Avery a call!

**★★★★ — User, Feb. 2017**

> Avery has worked with Atchison Heller for over 15 years. She is our go to drafts person. She has a unique way of taking someones ideas and forming it into an idea on paper. Her renderings are spot on and beautiful!

**★★★★★ — reachhouse, March 2015**

> I've used Avery on both residential and commercial projects. On residential design she first really gets to know the  client's personality and lifestyle- fortunately for me I'd known her for many years, and with commercial she digs to find the exact atmosphere or image you're trying to achieve. She then engages many conversations encouraging the client to expand on their vision before ever putting pencil to sketch. You are then presented with different sketched concepts that incorporates your ideas with hers and are well beyond what you could have ever imagined. These concepts provide options and feed back so that she can more accurately approach the designs finished product.

**★★★★★ — John Atchison, March 2015**

> We have worked with Avery on a continuing basis for more than 20 years. She is creative,efficient,thorough and timely. We have worked together multiple times per year and have developed an extensive portfolio of successful homes and remodeling projects together. It is easy for me to make an unqualified recommendation for her to anyone needing her drafting and design services

**★★★★★ — bcarter1999, March 2015**

> I have used Avery for small and large jobs for both my real estate clients and construction company. I have always found her work to be timely and a good value for the job performed. I would highly recommend her for any of your drafting needs.

**★★★★★ — dgoodnighe, March 2015**

> We had a complex design issue that required the negotiation of an excessive elevation between the house elevation and our pool.  This had frustrated us for years.  The builder of our home mislead us as to exactly how far we would have to descend to ground level so we were left with two expensive fixed anchors... the house and the completed pool.  We had redesigned it twice and were always left with steep steps to access our pool area.  Avery with her infinite talent came up with three options for us that would negotiate this problem with a wonderful, aesthetically positive solution.  I could not be happier with her amazing creative skills and ability to communicate with us.

**★★★★★ — schaeferhomes55, March 2015**

> We have worked with Avery's Studio on many projects -- from small renovations to entire new home plans, simple to very complex.  She has an amazing ability to sketch how things will look when complete, which is great for those of us who don't have the ability to visualize what's on paper.  Her pricing is reasonable.  Her progress/completion is timely and she's very flexible with meeting times.  We highly recommend her!

**★★★★★ — prestonstables, March 2015**

> Avery Studio's has worked with us on several projects over the years. We have always been impressed with her talent and skilled eye when it comes to our needs on design and layout.
> Always punctual, flexible when the plans change and willing to help in any way.
> We have hired her for multiple projects but I am sighting the largest one below performed at our farm in Paris Kentucky which was an office addition to the main house.
> We will continue to use her as our designer and planner in the future and highly recommend her.

**★★★★★ — The Lone Rearranger, March 2015**

> Avery is a joy to work with - she's very professional and informative. Her work is very detailed and she know her subject extremely well.

**★★★★★ — samarasays, March 2015**

> Avery has worked on many design projects between my partner and myself throughout the years: some to include remolding a kitchen and living space, major renovations to a log cabin, and something rather unusual redesigning a playhouse to have a tiny upstairs, a koolaide bar with short built in barstools, and a tunnel slide. She works excellent with the contractors, provides many solutions and insight to the vision of the project, always timely and professional and reasonable in cost. Would highly recommend her services for any depth of project.

**★★★★★ — dggridley, March 2015**

> Avery Buckman helped us make the best use of existing space to create a senior friendly health and wellness environment. The renovation is not yet complete, but already I can see the fruits of her labors taking shape and look forward to working with Avery until the project is complete. Avery was always responsive to our requests, and went above and beyond the call of duty to ensure we were satisfied. The visual impact of The Health Club for Seniors is going to match the programming....which means it will be phenomenal!
