**★★★★★ — Bill Peck, March 2020**

> Michael was one of the best designers I have had the opportunity to work with in my career. We gave him the house design we wanted and he was done in no time. During the design time and the final stages, he had to make several changes on various parts we wanted. Again, he worked them out for us quickly for a reasonable price. Upon submitting the plans for for our permit, they were accepted as drawn with no items to be redrawn. It was a real pleasure working with Michael on this project.

**★★★★★ — HU-18567785, March 2020**

## Community Q&A

**Q: Perfect exterior color!  Anyone know the color?** *(in Photo Questions)*

A: Honestly we are unsure of exactly what color the exterior of this particular house was painted. But you can take a high quality picture of the house to a paint store and they should be able to help you match it. If you need higher quality images you can get them on our website.
