Can not say enough on what a great job they did on my new home. **★★★★★ — Brian Sass, Feb. 2019** > Ron was very helpful from the start of my project. I gave him a drawing of what I was looking for. As the project progressed changes had to be made. When I was getting frustrated with dealing with city requirements, he came up with ideas that made it easier to comply with what the city wanted. Very friendly and helpful through the whole project. I would highly recommend Ron to help with their project. **★★★★★ — Hobie Stamper, Dec. 2018** > Ron was great! He designed a 2,500 square-foot home for my wife and I and it turned out beautifully. Construction starts in the spring and we can't wait. > > The design process with Ron was much smoother than anticipated. He grasped our concepts and ran with the ball nicely. He even rolled well with the punches when my wife and I came in with changes at the last minute. The timing was as expected with no surprises. > > Thanks Ron! **★★★★★ — judystadler930, Dec. 2016** > We purchased our current home 6 months ago knowing we would be making changes. Ron listened to our wants and needs for both projects. Project 1 was a garage addition of 24 x 40 and a room connecting our house and existing garage. We now have a definite beautiful entrance to our home. Project 2 has recently been designed but not yet begun. The interior of our home had a poor layout. Ron has given us 2 possible reconfigurations that will make our home much more functional. We are having a difficult time choosing between the two designs! **★★★★★ — Tom McInerney, Dec. 2016** > We have been wrestling with how to modernize our 1955 Ranch within a modest budget since we moved in 5 yrs ago. We met and reviewed all our ideas with Ron and shared pictures of the Craftsman look we wanted. He accepted the challenge nail it! He was very easy to work with and had some great ideas which made the final design exactly what we wanted. > I would highly recommend him, and plan to recommend him to friends planning a new house. **★★★★★ — dsurdu2, Dec. 2016** > Ron has a keen eye for tasteful design and a healthy understanding of costs. This latter point was key since we had to design our house before getting quotes from builders. Although I am biased, Ron's exterior design also made our house the prettiest in the neighborhood. **★★★★★ — John Lotoczky, Oct. 2016** > I have worked with Ron for over 20 years. His creativity, attention to details of design and regards for projects budget are the main reasons I keep utilizing Ron in my business. Currently he has been involved in a complete home demolition and rebuild. **★★★★★ — joshleteff100, Feb. 2016** > Recently the spec home builder I work as a Project Manager for tasked me with finding a new architect to draw up a new spec home model. A colleague referred me to Ressler Design. From day one Ron Ressler was a consummate professional. He was always easy to get in touch with and very responsive both via phone and email. Ron worked within our timeline and budget, even adding on some extras and making consolations along the way. > Ron was a joy to work with, and I look forward to working with him again soon. **★★★★★ — scottrumely, Jan. 2016** > Ron was very through and even with design changes he would have the plans updated within a few days. I went Lawrence Technology University as an Architect but switched over to Construction Engineering so I've seen the good with Ron is one to toe other side. Anyone will be thrilled to have Ron help you with your design needs! > > Scott Rumely **★★★★★ — martyself, Jan. 2016** > Ron does a great job with the client I refer to him. I am a builder and have build several of Ron'so designs. **★★★★★ — Cadworks Consulting, Inc, Jan. 2016** > Ressler Design, Inc. are very professional and competent design company. I have worked with them on over ten designs in the last year. The drawings are complete accurate and very detailed. The drawings are completed in a timely manner. They are members of AIBD, a professional builders organization. Will continue to work with him for the forseeable future. **★★★★★ — gsteinmetz89, Jan. 2016** > I have been doing blueprint estimating for a lumber yard for many years. Ron's blueprints are well done,complete and very clean. It is a pleasure to see one of his drawings to come across my desk,i have very few if any questions for Ron. ## Selected projects - [Stamper Residence](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/stamper-residence-pj-vj~7162460) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 29 - [Nelson Residence](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/nelson-residence-pj-vj~6727690) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 4 - [The Rochester](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/the-rochester-pj-vj~393937) - Location: Rochester Hills, MI - Photos: 24 - Description: Now that's a great room!

Thanks so much! A: The builder is still working on what lot to spec the home on. Hopefully they will break ground this spring sometime. Thank you. **Q: What color paint are trim and siding?** *(in Photo Questions)* A: The trim what white, but I don't remember the siding color. They used Hardie Siding. You may want to try to match it there. Sorry I don't remember the color. The home is over 10 years old. **Q: Any interior photo's or photo's of the back of the home?** *(in Photo Questions)* Love this house! A: Your welcome. Do you need ant other assistance with this home plan. Can we give you price on any type of design. Thank you Ron **Q: LOVE the brick** *(in Photo Questions)* What is color and manufacturer of the brick? What color is mortar? Building a home and love it! A: Hello, sorry but I wasn't involved with the color choice and since the home was built, the builder is no longer building homes and I haven't been able to contact them. Thank you for your question and sorry that I wasn't any help. **Q: Do you know the color of mortor used?** *(in Photo Questions)* A: Hello, thank you for your question. This home was built back in 2007 so I don't have know the color choice on the mortar. It almost appears to be natural or maybe a slight charcoal in it to give a bit darker gray. I'll see if I can get in touch with the builder to find out. **Q: How big is this house in sq.ft.? Wanted idea for size of my new build.** *(in Photo Questions)* I am building a new home and wanted to see if I could get around this general size on the outside. I like the design and the use of brick and siding. A: Here is teh 4200 square foot version front elevation --- *Source: Houzz professional profile. Reflects the profile as of 2026-09-02.*
