### Reviews

**★★★★★ — Thomas Gambino, June 2022**

> We have been working with Ray Whitaker for over 25 years and Ray has provided us with excellent designs and customer service.  He brings years of experience and insight into the design and construction processes.  The quality of the construction drawings developed though Ray's interactive relationship with us results in an easy construction permit process and very few changes in the field. He uses a 3-D computer model for all of his designs which provides the client with an accurate visual representation of how the project will look when it is constructed.  He listens and is easy going making for a truly great working relationship.

> We highly recommend RS Whitaker, Inc. for the design for your next project.

**★★★★★ — Annie, March 2021**

> Cannot recommend Ray enough! He is so speedy, thorough, easy to talk to and extremely helpful.  We have used Ray's services twice now and each time, he has been the light in our renovation projects. He always responds back within a day, has great ideas and feedback and is always available to talk through the plans with our contractor.  I will continue to recommend Ray to anyone in need of drafting design plans for their project.
