### Reviews

**★★★★★ — Tim Schichtl and Debra Gentry, March 2026**

> We can not say enough good things about DR Home Design & Consulting. I (Debra Gentry) am a real estate agent, and I am extremely picky to say the least. My fiancé and I our building an apartment with a 2 bay shop this summer on our 16 acres, and Damon turned our ideas into a realty. We can not wait to start building! He will definitely be our go to guy when we decide to build our forever home in a year or so.  Thanks again Damon, for all your hard work.

**★★★★★ — Jane Stewart, Dec. 2023**

> Damon is very professional and knowledgeable. I would recommend him to anyone in the area looking to design a home. He took a plan we “kind of liked” and modified it to be exactly what we were dreaming of. He offered his opinion when asked and gave reasons when something was questionable in the design. We really enjoyed working with him.

## Community Q&A

**Q: how do I search for a photo that I have labeled within my ideabook?** *(in Using Houzz)*

I would like to search for all photos I have labeled "kitchen" with a specific ideabook with many photos for different rooms

A: Did this ever get implemented?  There is a search option at the top of my Ideabooks but when I put a keyword in, nothing is returned.  This would be a very useful function for myself and clients.
