Edw J Shannon, Architect/Spirit Lake Studio
New & Custom Home Builders in West Des Moines
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsNovember 11, 2012
“Edward and I were neighbors in Palatine, Illinois and taught architecture together at Judson College. I have the highest respect for Edward's abilities both as a practicing architect and as an architecture professor. This combination of practicing architect/professor is respected in the profession as achieved by some of the most industrious and design savvy members of our field. Edward's photos speak volumes of his design sensitivity. His drawings are likewise works of art in a profession that has lost much of its hand drawn talent in 25 years of CAD prevalence. He clearly has the design maturity to know the disciplines of restraint, light and balance, harmony, forms and textures and can apply this maturity of design to multiple venues. Working directly with Edward I learned his quality of sincere responsible work ethic and constant self improvement motivation. He has excellent people skills and is a collaborative proactive problem solver. His continued professional advancement with LEED accreditation, professorship in Iowa, and his ever expanding portfolio are testaments of his commitment to a profession which demands lifelong learning to maintain excellence. Very glad to find Edward's page here and heartily recommend him to clients seeking a conscientious architect for their next project. Best Regards, Douglas Clark, NCARB Architect San Mateo, CA”

“Bobbie and Monty stopped out several times during the short project checking on things, seeing progress, etc. They did an amazing job following through, making sure I was happy as a customer and helpful when it came to making decisions! After I tried to complete my bathroom floors myself with peel and stick vinyl, I had to call in the pros. I decided have tile put in. While there, we decided to do the backsplash in my kitchen. They were able to demo and install very quickly. They did such an amazing job!”

“Jason with J & G Builders has done several jobs for us including finishing our whole basement, remodeling our laundry room, tiling our bathrooms and installing a new front door. He is very knowledgeable about all types of jobs and if he doesn't know, he is not afraid to let you know that and he will seek expert knowledge from elsewhere. He is very trustworthy and does a great job cleaning up after himself each night after his work is done. I would highly recommend J & G Builders and plan to use them again in the future.”
