“Kaufman Homes has used Doyle Residential Design Services in the past for design services. Jeff has building experience and understands design from aesthetic, practical as well as structural aspects. Jeff is a detailed designer, thinking thoroughly through his designs. I would highly recommend Jeff!”

“Neil Richardson. Nice gentleman, Experienced, Intelligent, and Listener. Our project from design to building completion unfolded beyond our expectations! The firm worked directly with our builder with any problems absolving us of the headaches. It was a pleasure to work with them. Did I mention that he LISTENs to the dreams and desires of the owner, while keeping with the theme and style of the project? Most important!”

“Nathan Good is an excellent architect. He is extremely experienced. He listens well and he explains well. He works well with other professionals because he has a broad understanding of all fields associated with building and remodeling a home and he is an excellent communicator. He has great taste for all styles even though he specializes in green architecture, but it is his judgment, his vision and his wisdom that puts him apart from other architects with whom we have worked. One conversation with Nathan and we knew we had found our guide.”

“I hold Jamin Aasum in the highest regard. Being my own general contractor, I hired Jamin and subcontracted most of the jobs required to strip down the rental home I bought, change the footprint, and construct our new home Jamin was instrumental in the design and construction of the interior and exterior of our new home. His vision of what we could do with what we had was outstanding. I do not believe we could have had a better result. We continue to get compliments on our home after ten years of living in it.”

“We hired Anderson Shirley Architects to design our new residence for our retirement, and work with our contractor during the construction phase of the project. John Shirley was the firm's principal in charge of our project. We first met John and Karl when they came to our rural building site to check it out and talk to us about the site and its relationship to the kind of house we had in mind. They talked about the land, how to design a home that would work with the land and surrounding countryside, about designing a house with both indoor and outdoor rooms that would bring the outside in, and ways we could ensure a light filled house, a plus for Oregon's grey winter days. They were reading our minds on these issues. We concluded they were not only anticipating our concerns, but that they would be open to the kind of participation in the design process we wanted. We were not disappointed. We worked with them over two years on the design for a modern 2,800 square foot home, with lots of light and real integration with the land. We were as involved as we wished to be. The design process took two years because that was our timeline, working with John and Karl from another state before we moved to Oregon, and we wanted to go slowly. Construction took another year. Our time lines and budget were met. We really enjoyed working with John and Karl. They have breadth and lots of talent, and their people skills helped us work through the inevitable challenges that arise during the construction phase of a complicated building project. We very much recommend them to others. Photos of our home are shown on the Anderson Shirley website under Northwest Modern Rural Residence.”

“Leah was phenomenal to work with for our kitchen remodel project. Not only did she capture our vision in her design, but she helped us re-imagine the space in ways that we hadn't previously considered. She is exceptionally professional and we highly recommend her services!”

“EXACTLY WHAT WE NEEDED! Ben designed an addition to our rural fire station which increased square footage about 25%. Our funds were limited and we were constrained by statute on how we could execute the project. After 3 years of trying to figure out how to make it happen, the fire board enlisted Ben's expertise to help move the project forward. He answered our questions, checked out our options, and negotiated the building contract. We weren't able to get everything we wanted, but we got what we desperately needed: a secure vehicle bay with good personnel access and sufficient space in an addition that blends in perfectly with the existing building. Ben dealt well with the various levels of construction experience of the board members. He provided a number of cost saving suggestions that were implemented in the final design. He responded promptly to emails and board questions and requests for status reports. He met with us at the site when requested. The fire board and the fire district residents are very happy with the new addition and we highly recommend his work.”

“I have worked with Brent for over 20 years on various projects, he is very knowledgeable, reliable and willing to put in the extra effort to keep projects moving forward. I would highly recommend hiring his company for any project.”
