His positive attitude and ability to think outside the box make working with Matt an absolute pleasure. **Comment from 925R Design Inc:** > Thanks for taking the time to review me and 925R Design Inc! Looking forward to future projects! **★★★★★ — DON SISSONS, Dec. 2018** > MY NAME IS DON SISSONS. I LIVE AT SILVER STAR MOUNTAIN. MY WIFE AND I WERE GIVEN MATT'S NAME FROM A WELL RESPECTED MEMBER OF THE BUILDING COMMUNITY. THE PROJECT IS A $200,000 GARAGE PROJECT IN AN AREA THAT PRESENTED MANY CHALLENGES WITH THE LOCAL PLANNING DISTRICT. MATT'S SITE VISIT AND MANY FOLLOW UP COMMUNICATIONS WITH THE PLANNING DISTRICT WAS ABOVE AND BEYOND EXPECTATION. WE LIVE AWAY FROM THE SITE AND MATT'S HELP WITH ADDITIONAL DEMANDS WHEN WE WERE AWAY WAS GREATLY APPRECIATED. IT WOULD HAVE BEEN IMPOSSIBLE FOR ME TO ATTEND TO THE ADDITIONAL DEMANDS WITHOUT HIS HELP. GIVEN THE SIZE AND SCALE OF OUR RELATIVELY SMALL PROJECT I WAS IMPRESSED WITH MATT'S KEEN INTEREST TO MAKE OUR PROJECT MOVE FORWARD. WITHOUT HIS INVOLVEMENT I THINK OUR BUILD WOULD NOT HAVE MOVED FORWARD. THE COMPLETION DATE FOR OUR PROJECT IS JULY 2019 **Comment from 925R Design Inc:** > Thanks a bunch for your kind words Don! Can't wait to see this project complete. **★★★★★ — HU-428087561, Dec. 2018** > Matt was easy to work with and prompt to commit changes in the ever evolving design of the new building. I would highly recommend his services. **Comment from 925R Design Inc:** > Thanks a bunch for the comment, keep me posted on progress of the project! **★★★★★ — Samantha, Dec. 2018** > Matt is great to work with! He’s helped design 2 homes for us, always accommodating to our last minute changes and tweaks. **Comment from 925R Design Inc:** > Thanks a bunch Samantha! It was great working with you guys! **★★★★★ — Scott Matheson, May 2017** > Matt has been awesome through the process on both occasions that I've used him. He has a solid understanding of the construction process which makes the design process a lot easier, and you end up with a way better result in the end. He is always quick to respond with any changes or questions you have. **Comment from 925R Design Inc:** > Thanks a bunch for taking the time for the review Scott! **★★★★★ — Stevenson Carpentry, Nov. 2015** > Matt Lunde was a pure professional that came to the design table with lots of fresh ideas. A great asset. Definitely recommend his services. **★★★★★ — B Kidd, Aug. 2015** > We are first time home builders that were referred to Matt by a previous client. We were immediately impressed with his positive attitude and eagerness to start the process of designing our dream home. Working long distance through emails and phone calls we were able to start the design process. Matt always responded quickly with updates and responses never taking more than a few days to make changes to plans. He listens to all your ideas and gives experience and ideas to project design. He never makes you feel like a bother and takes time to listen to all ideas and concerns. We will be highly recommending him to everyone we know. You won't be disappointed! Great service and reasonable design fees. We can't wait to see the final build. **★★★★★ — ryanbentson, Aug. 2015** > Working with Matt was professional and easy. Matt designed a duplex plan for us. He has great idea and very helpful. **★★★★ — ddobie, Aug. 2015** > I worked with Matt to design a spec house project. I plan on working with Matt again to design a 4-plex project in near future. Matt is professional and full of ideas. I highly recommend Matt at 925R Design Inc. **★★★★ — JSW Construction, Aug. 2015** > 925 Design Team has been a very helpful asset as part of our highend home renovations company.Their dedication and design concept ideas have been very helpful to us as we have worked thru some of our more extensive renovation projects. > Jim > JSW Construction **★★★★★ — Megan, Aug. 2015** > We are a new company and were thrilled with our decision to use Matt for our Duplex plans. Matt helped us along every step of the way and provided great tips and advise. The best thing was that he was just as excited about our project as we were! **★★★★★ — Adrienne Boots, July 2015** > Matt did a wonderful job for us with the plans for our duplex. He was quick and efficient plus captured our ideas perfectly. > We would recommend him without hesitation. **★★★★★ — Cindy, Oct. 2013** > Working with Matt designing our dream home is a wonderful experience. We allowed time for him to make changes in his design before construction begins and he has been terrific in incorporating our ideas with his. It is not always easy having someone interpret your verbal description to drawings but Matt got it right from the beginning. He is great at solving layout problems and his innovating design skills for our modern style house are excellent. Matt has made the project easy and fun and I highly recommend him to anyone thinking of having design work done. **★★★★★ — dtbarg, Oct. 2013** > Matt is AWESOME to work with! He drew up our floor plan from scratch with great expertise and insight. He listened to all our many ideas and managed to incorporate ALL of them into our house!
