**★★★★★ — Alicia Mills, March 2025**

> My husband and I contacted Reggie at the direction of a local builder.  We had a rough sketch idea of a floor plan, room sizes and style of exterior we were interested in building.  Reggie suggested meeting with us at our lot so he could get an idea of how the house would be positioned on the land. From there he scheduled our design appointment and completed the job timely. He kept in touch during the design period with status updates. When he forwarded over the first look of his design, it was beyond our expectations.  He was able to put to paper exactly what our minds eye had imagined and more. Reggie is a true professional, fantastic to work with and has integrity. We will absolutely recommend R. Allen Design to our friends and neighbors.

**★★★★★ — Melanie, Sept. 2024**

> Reggie was wonderful to work with!  He listened to all of our inputs, made great suggestions, and completed our designs in a timely fashion. We 100% recommend Reggie Allen and are thrilled to have worked with him!

**★★★★★ — cbcb00220022, May 2024**

> We are so grateful for a friend recommending Reggie to us when we decided to design our dream home. His diligence and attention to detail is amazing. Once he started our design, his attention to our project made us feel confident in his ability to design our dream home. He always made himself available to us to discuss our project. He was patient and a great listener to our vision and ideas to executing our final design of our dream home. He makes you very comfortable communicating with him. So easy to talk to! We highly recommend him. He is truly a nice guy and a pleasure to work with.
> Bill and Charlotte.

Reggie listened, advised, and executed exactly what we wanted. We absolutely love his diligent and expedient work ethic; his attention to detail is extraordinary. We felt we were in good hands with such a knowledgeable architectural draftsman and made a friend along the way!  Thank you Reggie!!  Ivy and John

**★★★★★ — Jeff T., March 2023**

> Reggie was very attentive to our needs and desires. He implemented our request and assisted us with any questions we had regarding the home design. He made sound suggestions when we had questions. We would definitely recommend Reggie for putting together a comprehensive home design for his clients. He is down to earth and responsive to you. He was a dream to work with.

**★★★★★ — Paul Bull, March 2023**

> We recently bought property in Jefferson County and were referred by a friend to a couple reputable local contractors.  Both contractors we spoke to recommended Reggie for any architectural work we might need.  Based on this information we contacted Reggie and he quickly met with us on our property to help us evaluate what might work best for a house design.  Reggie was able to transform a general design we found on the internet into a spectacular plan that we can now present to builders for the bid/build process.  Every step of the way Reggie worked to utilize every square foot of the plan footprint to give us everything we wanted while trying to maintain our budget.  I would highly recommend Reggie for any of your design needs as he has been very thoughtful and professional throughout the project.

**★★★★★ — Carl C., Jan. 2023**

> Great Experience.  If I ever need another architect, I wouldn't consider anyone other than Reggie Allen.  From the very beginning he set expectations and walked me through the entire process so that I would know what to expect and when and how the project would progress.  He made sure that we both understood how he and I both had roles in the process/design to keep the project moving forward timely.  He did everything that he promised and in many cases went above and beyond in my project design.  He communicated with me at every step and kept me abreast of where we were in the project timeline and was always available for a call, text or email.  Reggie is very detail oriented and was able to take my rudimentary ideas and drawings and turn them into reality.   I love the final custom house design that Reggie created and I look forward to starting the building process within the year.

**★★★★★ — K&W McC, Oct. 2022**

> My wife and I contacted a few local builders and they all recommended Reggie for designing our home. We’ll start at the end by sharing our reaction to the final plans Reggie delivered:  “Wow... just WOW!!  We love, Love, LOVE what you've done!!” Now let’s go back to the beginning: our relationship with Reggie started out great and got better and better… he impressed us from the moment we met and continued to over-deliver throughout the entire process- from advising us on how things work in our county to working with builders, recognizing obstacles and benefits of our lot and ways to best leverage all of that as we progressed towards making our slice-O-paradise a reality. Reggie’s decades of experience and proven results are evident in every interaction and the breadth and depth of his knowledge of the design and building process are remarkable… his authenticity, comfortable style, and good humor instantly put us at ease. He took our vision to the next level and provided solutions even when my wife and I didn’t realize there was a problem. Reggie’s communication and responsiveness is unmatched, and did we mention his performance and work product is fantastic? Can we give him a 6-star rating instead of just 5? My wife and I would hire Reggie again in a heartbeat and highly recommend him to anyone and everyone!

**★★★★★ — Steve G, July 2022**

> Reggie was very Professional. He designed the plans exactly as I asked. The process was fast and easy! I will use him again when needed.

**★★★★★ — House plans, July 2022**

> Reggie took a basic internet home layout and created a wonderful set of home plans. He helped us make decisions about design elements that enabled us to save cost in the build. He structured the design to best utilize standard dimensional lumber, windows, and doors and our lot size.
>
> He worked with us thru a couple of changes and everything in the process was painless. We were very happy with the outcome.
> Bob

**★★★★★ — Shane Foster, July 2022**

> Reggie has been a pleasure to work with during this process. He takes the time to get to know you and your project to ensure he understands exactly what you need.
