HAASE DESIGN
Architects, Architecture Firms, & Building Designers in Gainesville
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsJanuary 24, 2013
“I have had the pleasure of collaborating with Ron and David at Haase Design on numerous residential projects over the past fifteen years. Not only are they immensely talented and creative architects, they bring a wealth of knowledge on southern vernacular architecture to the table, having literally “written the book” on the subject. Every detail is thoroughly studied and followed through from initial conceptual sketch to construction and it is evident in the final product, everything just looks and feels right. They also know how to create good relationships with their clients and help guide them through the process, making the project much more enjoyable. That really isn’t surprising; the guys are great fun to work with.”

Victor Raymos Architect Inc.
Architects, Architecture Firms, & Building Designers in Gainesville
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsApril 5, 2016
“Raymos designed a house for me and supervised the entire project during construction. The house has everything I looked for -- beautiful with lots of volume and light, really energy efficient, and very little maintenance required. People who visit are always impressed by the unique design and features of the house. Everyone says building a house is stressful, but I found it lots of fun, since he oversaw the design and construction details at a very reasonable price. I recommend him without any reservation.”

“Dibros Corp lead by builder/developer Luis Diaz has great passion for its customer's satisfaction. Customer's are continually amazed by the artistic vision Luis adds to each phase of his construction. Viewing every aspect of design from natural lighting to energy efficiency. Once said any builder is only as good as the team he surrounds himself with. Dibros Corp's team is always at the core of each home that is built. From architectural design and interior decor to quality control and pricing. They are simply the best. The pride this office demonstrates with each home is simply amazing. The process of constructing a home can be an exciting venture lead by this group of professionals.”

“As a General Contractor and custom home builder, I have recently had the pleasure of working with Jennifer Langford a few times. I was impressed with her relaxed, but professional attitude. She is knowledgeable and willing to share her expertise with others. Her ability to listen to what a client is saying, ask thoughtful questions, offer creative options, and then assist the client in making excellent design decisions, is wonderful. She is also easy to talk with and discuss project ideas.”

She brings her clients to Jackson Stoneworks granite counter top factory and stone yard and uses the displays in our kitchen and bath showroom to make color selections for counter tops, kitchen and bath cabinets, tile, glass and fashion plumbing fixtures and accessories.

Everything Earth
Architects, Architecture Firms, & Building Designers in Gainesville
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsApril 18, 2015
“I've previously had the pleasure of working with Amanda of Everything Earth, while building a custom home for a client. Her passion, positive energy, and commitment to her client, and to the project, are outstanding. She works tirelessly to develop her client's vision into reality. She was able to make important decisions as needed and in a timely fashion, usually almost immediately. Her "can do" attitude and charm are contagious, and she knows how to motivate those around her to perform at their best. I would welcome the opportunity to work with Amanda again and recommend her without hesitation.”

Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsFebruary 14, 2017
“Great experience with Jeff and his team. Very responsive in all matters. We would (and have) hired them again. In an industry where you hear about contractors leaving jobs unfinished and taking your money, you will not have to worry about that with him. They stand by their promises. They even came in under budget.”
