### Featured Review

**★★★★★ — User, Aug. 2015**

> Rick Low helped us design and draft a fairly complicated set of plans for a major addition to our house. We were very happy with not only the service he provided, but also for the creative suggestions and open communication. We highly recommend Associated Development Services Corporation!

**★★★★★ — montecalvo, Aug. 2015**

> Rick has broad experience in all phases of architectural design and construction. He designed our garage addition with a second story and was able to include all of our wishes of what we wanted it to be. He took care of all of the paperwork and requirements the city of Morro Bay required to begin construction and continues to oversee our project. We look forward to seeing the beautiful and functional project that he designed completed.
