Client Testimonials

We enlisted Richard to help us with a major remodel in Mill Valley. He helped us to update our home which was originally built in 1906, and hadn’t been lived in for a number of years.

The project included redesigning a number of rooms to modernize the spaces and to make layouts more functional. Richard was an integral part of the project, and we were lucky to have his guidance along the way.

He was great at listening to our needs and gave us pragmatic budget friendly solutions. Always flexible when the needs changed, and was able to help us stay on budget.

He was a voice of reason dealing with zoning and permit issues, and helped us get through the frustrating parts of the renovation.

We are loving our newly updated home, and we don’t hesitate to recommend Richard any chance we get!

Richard is creative and sensible. I love it when he comes up with solutions that work and don’t cost a fortune. 

Coming up with a design that wasn’t a complete gut and remodel was a challenge, but in the end, we got a design which we absolutely love. Richard hung in there with us until we got it just right.

Talent and experience combined with a sense of humor. A stressful process? Not at allhe makes the job fun.

It was so easy to work with you remotely! Maybe even easier than locally because you were exceptionally responsive online to all of my questions and design changes. You got back to me immediately and responded fully to things that were unfamiliar to me which moved the design process right along.

Additionally, you communicated with my contractor as well as the City Planning Department to keep us all on the same page.

 It would be my pleasure to recommend you no matter where in the world you live!

I have had the great pleasure of working with Richard Esteb on several large projects.  

Not only does he have great design and architectural skills, he brings to the job a truly extensive knowledge and understanding of cabinetwork , how things go together and the design possibilities inherent in different products.  His ability to solve problems (how do you fit in both this and that and what way looks best) is fantastic.  

And working with him is a dream.  He listens to what you say – he wants to know what you want, what you like, what you need.   The projects are collaborative projects in the best sense of the word.  He’s calm and steady while I thrash around.  He is just the best.

I have worked with Richard on a couple of occasions and his work is always thorough and complete. He brings to the process of building and design an energy that is original and enthusiastic. He understands the breadth of the process and what it takes to carry a project from inception to completion
