"I want to personally thank you for all you've done for our state's citizens. We have accomplished a great deal in the last few years and none of it would have succeeded without your dedication and hard work. The profession should be proud of you and the public grateful. The board and its staff surely are."
Stephen P. Sands, Executive Officer BOARD OF ARCHITECTURAL EXAMINERS
"Your clients enjoy a unique advantage in numerous ways. Primarily, they benefit from your design approach due to the level of detail contained in your drawings and specifications. This ultimately results in a savings to them while constructing a higher quality, more valuable home. Because your firm so clearly articulates and specifies products and methods of construction with regard to the overall design concept, personal preference and budgetary constraints of your clients, our job as builder becomes much more focused. The plans and specifications generated by your firm preclude inferior substitutions and serve to protect the integrity of the project while affording your client the most competitive price."
Melissa Boyes, President BOYES CONSTRUCTION, INC
"...extremely competent and most importantly, reliable as to deadline and follow-up. We have been very pleased with the architectural integrity of his work. The portion that was completed prior to the 1994 earthquake withstood the tremor with no damage."
Frank W. Jobe, M.D.
"His timeless design of our house in Laguna Beach is just that. I am still happy with it 30 years later. Recently, my husband and I completed an early California / Mexican-style hacienda on our Temecula ranch ... with the help of Dick's office team and an excellent contractor, the house was finished reasonably close to budget and two months earlier than scheduled. A good working relationship has existed with Dick over the years. He is very conscious of keeping costs down and is timely with anything required of him."
Linda Irvine Smith
"It is truly a fun house and friends that visit us always compliment us on how comfortable it is to be here. With the need for handicapped accessibility, you were able to incorporate many features into the design aspects that proved most helpful. We appreciate your professionalism and you worked so well with our contractor. We were able to stay within the budgeted allowances. We are so grateful, after the fact, to be able to call on your for advice ... we look forward to working with you in a few years to building a smaller home with most of our children gone."
Dick & Nina Johnson
"Wow! I don't know what we were expecting but the elevations look incredible. Exactly what we had in mind, and more."
