**★★★★★ — Greg Granato, July 2018**

> Blue+Alder was fantastic to work with on our home .This was a renovation that needed good design for the interiors and construction talent to get the job done.They were able to do both and achieve a beautiful result.We looked for their design eye throughout the project to enhance our interiors whether it was selecting unique tile for the kitchen and baths,wall coverings,window treatments or cabinetry,Blue+Alder just transformed our space to be more transitional with current design.They went above and beyond to make sure our home was functional and stunning.They were timely,on budget and so creative.

**★★★★★ — Alice Sackett, July 2018**

> We hired Heather and Kevin to develop a complete design concept to renovate our legal office which is located in an historic house.  This project was a complete renovation and was very extensive including 2 conference rooms, a kitchen, 2 bathrooms, a library, 2 reception areas and 7 offices. Heather was able to maintain the integrity of the house and give us all workspaces with today's modern conveniences and technology.  She helped select everything both inside and out including fixtures, furniture, flooring, carpet, paint, work stations, etc.  The transformation was amazing.  The project was completed just over two years ago and we still have people inquire who helped us with the design work.  Phenomenal design concept.  Very professional and easy to work with.  Did such a wonderful job I hired Heather to plan and design a large renovation at my home. Would highly, highly recommend.

**★★★★★ — Kevin Gillespie, April 2018**

> Kevin and his team were incredibly responsive and flexible. I am very picky about my design and the flow of my appliances, cabinetry, etc. Kevin took the time to understand my needs and alleviate any stress I had about the project.
>
> I am very thankful for Blue and Alder's attention to detail and willingness to go the extra mile to make sure I had the most beautiful kitchen I could have imagined - I recommend them to anyone and will be using them to complete my next project as soon as possible!

**★★★★★ — carbon fibonacci design, June 2016**

> After several jobs with Kevin and Joel, it has been clear that these guys are the pros they say they are. In my architectural business, I rely heavily on clear concise information so that I can put out quality and accurate drawings and renderings, both Kevin and Joel are exceptional at that, so glad to have them as clients, and close colleagues, looking forward to a long relationship with them!
