It is difficult for me to give a bad review, unless it is truly deserved. This, I feel, is deserved.
Professionalism, is not hard to display, if it is there, at all. Many people, can perform a function. Professionals, should be able to provide the services advertised. When attempting to hire a local architect, I was able to find this one. Out of the five I tried to contact, three didn't return my call. One was too caught up about his image, to accept my request and needed way more money, that I was willing to pay, to "put his name on it". The last one said he could do what I needed. After years

As a contractor who has served the Delaware County, Indiana area since 1968, I understand the importance of having a professional and reliable architect. Bruce Everetts and Bob Taylor both meet and exceed these qualifications. Jud Construction, LLC has used them for numerous projects throughout the years and highly recommend Taylor Architects.
