Testimonials:

"I believe our project was a little more complicated than most. Our idea was to take my childhood home and update it for the way my young family lives, without ruining the integrity of the home. During my initial consultation with Arlen, he was able to take the ideas I had in my mind and sketch them out on paper. I felt like Arlen and I were on the same page from the get-go and I immediately trusted him. During that consultation I knew I found someone who could make my dreams a reality. Within a short time our plans were completed and approved. Arlen was recommended to me by a friend who recently used him and was also very happy. I am so happy we found Arlen and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a designer."

"As a fire victim and as an owner-builder, we had a lot on our plate getting started rebuilding our home here in Escondido, CA, not the least of which was finding an architect. We interviewed at least a half-dozen people before we found Arlen Roper. He sounded organized, artistic, and capable of finishing his work on time. On all those areas we were not disappointed. While working with Arlen we were pleased at how often we were updated all through the design process, making it possible for us to provide input in order to attain the home we envisioned. His insight was not always understood initially, but later proved to be indispensable. We were glad we trusted his judgment.
And finally, not all subcontractors and workers associated with our project seemed to understand that this was ultimately going to be our home, and because of this we wanted their best effort. Arlen was part of that short list who exhibited genuine compassion for our dream and his masterful design shows it. Ironically, this all came with a fee that was more than reasonable compared to other equally qualified designers and architects we had considered. Working with Arlen was a five star experience."

"After interviewing several building designers for our historic 1893 home remodel, we decided to move forward with our project utilizing Arlen's expertise. It was obvious he was the right choice for us, not only because of his lengthy remodel design experience and professionalism, but also because of his high level of customer care. We wanted someone who we could communicate with well, someone who would understand what we wanted and was also willing to help us in developing our vision of creating a dream home. We got all of this and so much more with Arlen. He is attentive, communicative, fast, and his drawings were outstanding. We have friends and family jealous of the plans Arlen provided to us because they had paid so much more for far less impressive work. If you want excellence at a fair price and someone who is willing to go above and beyond for your project (as was the case for our historic home), then going with Arlen for your project is truly a no-brainer. You won't be disappointed, that is for certain."

"Arlen was a pleasure to work with. His ideas, designs, and direction really helped our major remodel project. We doubled the size of our home a few years back and we are still getting compliments from our family and friends when we entertain. Not only did our home not look like it had been remodeled, but we felt our home should have won awards!"
Greg & Cynthia M. – Valley Center

"On our recent addition and remodel Arlen Roper came to our home with our contractor and was able to come up with a design that was perfect for our needs and wants. Arlen had the insight on designing our addition to not just look like some one put a box next to a home. We now have a very functional kitchen and another bedroom and bath and a much more comfortable dining room, not to mention the huge living space that we can now enjoy with out feeling cramped and confined. Also, we now have a great library/office area that gives the kids a place to do homework and study. Thank you, Arlen Roper; you improved the quality of life for my family!" George A. – Vista

"It was a pleasure working with Arlen as he took charge in planning and applying for our accessory unit with the city. He brought forward many great ideas and was very quick in putting the plans together for approval. His detailed designs and know how allowed us to get our approval to start construction ahead of scheduled time. I intend on using him again on future projects"
