**★★★★★ — Brent Lough, Jan. 2017**

> I have worked with the firm for over 20 years and it continues to be a treat and pleasure to help them create wonderful projects and clients who become friends together. Projects have ranged in cost from $100,000.00 to over 6,000,000.00. Many good memories.

**★★★★★ — Build West, Jan. 2017**

> Buildco has worked in collaboration with Manchester Architects on many projects. Each and every project has been a pleasure and true testament to their dedication for superior design and project coordination. Manchester Architects has a staff of competent, knowledgeable industry professionals. Their attention to detail and thorough involvement in each facet of a project sets them apart from other firms. Working in conjunction with Manchester Architects has been inspiring, enlightening and fun! This team comprises a depth of industry knowledge that is all encompassing. Manchester Architects are true professionals!

**★★★★★ — Kevin Geiser, Dec. 2016**

> T. Michael and his team have a true gift. Their ability to listen, to create, to envision, and to sweat the details is extraordinary. Not only do we highly recommend them, we wouldn't think of using anyone else for future projects.

**Comment from Manchester Architects, Inc.:**

> Thank you Kevin and Ann. When are coming to visit?

**★★★★★ — Jeffrey Zander, Nov. 2016**

> I have had an excellent experience with Michael and his team.  This is our second project we have done and throughout our entire time working together they have shown the perfect balance of creativity and practicality.  They have the ability to hear the client and respect their ideas but then add elements of design that makes the project even more special and exceptional.  They also stay focused on the cost nature of the project and hold everyone accountable to those goals.  It has continued to be a pleasure to work with them!

**★★★★★ — Mark Elice, Nov. 2016**

> Manchester Architects have been great to work with over the years. I find them very professional, knowledgeable, inventive, communicative and hardworking team players.

**★★★★★ — DAVID WARD, Nov. 2016**

> Michael and his associates are experienced, knowledgeable and professional.  We have been pleased to have been with them throughout all phases of our design and build project.

**★★★★★ — cbald3rston, Nov. 2016**

> I did a major build out with Michael and his team. They were fantastic. Michael was easy to deal with- responsive to what we wanted and how we intended to get there. He hooked us up with a similarly very competent contractor. I've done many projects and was wary of using an "in house" contractor, but never felt marginalized. Juan, one of Manchester architects was especially terrific- he was the one to see the thing every one else had neglected. So I got the house of my dreams, when and how I wanted it. No tricks, just straight up professionals.
