“Always available, responsive, professional”

“Tony Richards was the best part of what turned out to be a beautifully built 1100sf cottage. Lucky indeed was I to find him. Through the entire process of plans, drafts, permit approval process, and construction phase he was always available, responsive, professional, and most of all, detailed and creative. Truly talented with an easygoing and calm demeanor.”

“Highest recommendation”

"I have hired Anthony Richards three times for extensive remodeling of and additions to my home: including Master bedroom bump out/ceiling raised/french door/new windows, family room addition/bathroom, and three added bay windows. He designs, he draws beautifully, and his work always gets approved. Tony has always advised me with full knowledge of the building codes, the approval and inspection process, as well as the construction, engineering, and materials. He works well with all parties to the job and will go that extra step to connect with busy people. As a woman I appreciate the respectful attitude he has towards my design ideas and I feel that he has educated me and provided explanations for every detail of the job. I look forward to working with him again as I imagine all his clients do. Anthony Richards Residential Design has my highest recommendation."
