REYNOLDS ASH + ASSOCIATES

I hired This firm to design the home I am building In Pagosa Springs, Colorado,I worked with Brad Ash. Brad was professional, friendly, and easy to work with. After meeting with him and exchanging ideas, he came up with a plan that was my dream, retirement, Vacation home in the mountains. I would highly recommend Brad to anyone interested in building a home.

I have worked with many of the professionals in our area, Reynolds Ash + Associates has designed a multitude of the homes I get to work on. The designs are easy to read, detailed & very accurate. I am always pleased to see the job when it has the Reynolds Ash + Associates Logo.

As builder in Pagosa Springs I have used Reynolds, Ash and Associates on numerous projects from small custom homes, to large commercial projects. They are truly a partner in the construction process and always willing to work together with the builder and the customer in order to achieve the best product for the lowest cost. They have to ability to do in house engineering and their designs have always been winners for us as the builder and our customers. I highly recommend them and they are the ones I turn to for all of our projects.

Brad did a great job designing my oversized detached garage, with restroom, covered porch and motorhome accommodations. The fee was reasonable, the plans produced on time, and they met all requirements for permit approval. The building is just completed and it is a definite enhancement to the property.

Brad Ash designed my home and created the plans. He was efficient, professional and timely. Brad helped in the placement of the house to take advantage of passive solar properties as well as design a zero waste build. I could not be happier with him or his work.

Before I started my project I had never met Brad Ash of Reynolds + Associates. I hired him around October 2013 as my architect for our 2nd home in Pagosa Springs, Colorado. This project was something I thought about for years. Financially, I could afford to build this second home but I definitely could not afford any major setbacks. I would simply not recover from that. I really don't think I could have hired a better architect. The property is unique- it is for a single residence but 60% of the lot drops down into a canyon (gradual 30% slope) and is unfit for construction. The set back requirements made this lot almost impossible to design on that fit my needs, budget, and building rules. Brad was the perfect architect to handle these difficult constraints. He placed the home far enough away from the canyon ledge and just inside the set back requirements such that it all fit exactly as it should. He captured the beauty of the canyon, kept it safe, and made the canyon feel like it's part of the house. My house is available for short term rentals and so far every single review emphasizes the simple beauty of the house and its canyon feel. He also angled the house so, should next door neighbors build, I will mainly see the canyon, not them. He also preserved large trees and framed one of the mountain peaks from a guest bedroom. These are but a few examples of the many details Brad captured in his design that make the house superb. His design is contemporary that likely will never go out of style. It's rugged and open. It's a textbook example of designing to fit the land, atmosphere, and client's preferences. I live in Texas, Brad in Colorado, so our design communication model was I sent Brad pictures of about how I wanted the house to feel and waited for his feedback. We did this several times and he quickly designed EXACTLY what I envisioned but with even better features. I don't think there's 1 square foot of wasted space. I heard that same comment from the builder, his sub contractors, inspectors, and most important, me and my friends. I was a bit nervous about this since I had never built from the ground up. Brad is very patient and thorough. I called him often, we talked through a lot of things. He also has a builder's background because his father is a very reputable builder. That helped in other building choices I needed to make later. He's also quick on his feet when he needs to be, as we made a few small last minute tweaks. Even when Brad was contractually done he took my calls, guided me through the process. He was both on time and on budget. To this day I talk with Brad on occasion. He is a thorough communicator. He's prompt. He's smart, logical, and will give you honest feedback so that you don't make bad choices. Several times I almost made changes I thought were "no brainers" and when I asked Brad about them I could tell by his answer that my changes were wrong. I'm glad I asked, I'm more glad he openly disagreed, and I'm gladdest of all I stuck by his opinion. In closing, Brad the person is versatile, conscientious, and trustworthy and these same qualities apply to Brad the architect. Brad recommended the builder, and those two, particularly Brad, made my project fun and relaxed rather than an anxiety fest. If interested in seeing the house simply ask Brad for my contact info and I will forward you links, pictures, or other info about our project.

Brad Ash drew the plans for our home and garage. They both were done in a timely and satisfactorily manner. We were very pleased with Brad professionally and personally. We completed our home in 2010 and are preparing to begin the construction on our garage this spring. We would highly recommend Brad Ash to anyone.

Brad designed a custom, mountain ranch home for us in Pagosa Springs. Brad worked closely with the builder during construction and resolved any design problems that arose. brad's work reflected closely our design preferences and ideas; we had spent months on the building cite and with the builder and architect, the experience was completely satisfying and our home is fabulous. the project came in on time and on budget. Brad has shown our home to multiple client prospects. Brad is imaginative, resourceful, hard-working and honest. we could not recommend anyone but Brad and have already done so many times.

I have had the pleasure of working with Brad on two different projects and cannot speak highly enough about his knowledge base, professionalism and attention to detail. He is easy to work with, thorough and fair. I have the utmost respect for his ability and recommend him without reservations.

As a custom log home builder, I used Reynolds, Ash and Associates for numerous projects in the Pagosa Springs area. Brad Ash was extremely helpful not only in the structural aspect, but also interior and landscape design. Sometimes designs look good on paper but don't necessarily work in the real world. Brad's common sense approach and background in construction made sure that everything met or exceeded stringent building codes without incurring needless extra costs.

We have used Brad Ash on our projects from the ground up. He is able to take what we describe and put it into proper drawings and he always brings bette changes to the table. Brad is a total professional and sees that his clients come first. I would highly recommend Brad for any size project with him your will meet every code and design detail.
