Recent Client Testimonial

Peter, Alan, Sharon,

As you know, we have been in our new Hill Country Home for several months now.  We continue to love every aspect of it.  We think of the design process and three of you frequently.

We worked with an Architect years ago in California.  We have also worked with a number of home designers over the years. None of those experiences can compare with our experience with Barley & Pfeiffer.  This is true of the design process, managing expectations against budget, cost forecasting, breadth of knowledge, attention to detail and project management.  The combination of innovative design coupled with your knowledge of building performance (thermal envelop, mechanical systems, lighting, etc.) is the best I have encountered. Also, Sharon's inspection reports were the best I have seen.  It was truly a pleasure working with professionals such as yourselves.  

Would we do it again?  "You betcha."

Regards,

Mr. & Mrs. Rieken
