We hired Kathy Shaffer to design an addition to our house, and redesign an outbuilding into an office/workshop. Kathy was proffessional, listened to our needs, and provided us with creative solutions. We would be happy to work with her again, and highly reccomend her.

In establishing my new business, one of the requirements for the business permit required architectual drawings of the location, prior to the business license being issued. Another set of drawings was required by the local fire department as well. Ms. Shaffer was extremely helpful and highly competent. She arrived at the appointments on time, and clearly took the time to learn the local government requirements for architectual drawings specific to my type of business. Her attention to detail expedited the issuance of my business license. The local government agencies complimented the completeness of the architectual drawings and stated it was highly unusual to not require a business applicant to resubmit three to four times. For my next business or residential architectual needs, Kathy Shaffer Architecture and Design is the first and most likely the only firm I'll ever work with in the future.

I worked with Kathy early in her career, before she started her own firm. She was professional and a pleasure to work with. I wish her the best of luck

Kathy was extremely helpful, talented, and very patient dealing with challenging clients (us!). We had a lot of requirements and tight space, and Kathy was able to deliver great solutions.

Commented: outdoor showerGo to your local tile shop and they should be able to help you find the right pieces. They may even be able to let you put your own artwork on custom tiles.
