Customer Testimonials

Hattie C. Christie

John –

Working with Design Depot for my house drawings was a wonderful experience. I can’t thank you enough for taking the ideas in my head and turning it into a true home! John, your attention to detail and talent made it a pleasure to work with you. I would like to continue our professional relationship by offering the services of C & M Insurance. I will call you the week of May 7th to discuss the insurance needs of Design Depot.

Cheers

Kate & Pete

Absolutely amazing guy fast and affordable

James Barnhill

John has been excellent in the whole process. He sat down with me and sketched what I wanted for a design and sent it to me. Couldn't believe John came up with exactly what I wanted. I highly recommend him you won't be disappointed! Thanks so much John.

Linda Gambino

Professional workmanship, attention to detail, easy to work with. John is an expert in his field. He is knowledgeable, precise and pays attention to his clients needs and wants and produces top quality designs and drawings. I highly recommend him.

Samantha Joan

Hey does a fantastic job. He goes over and above for his clients. 

Jennifer Standerfer

John worked really hard with us to design the house we wanted. He was great at offering suggestions but always deferring to our wishes. Very knowledgeable about building code requirements. It was a great experience for us.

Chris J

A lot of hate on this site. We had nothing but a good experience with John. He came out to our property a number of times so he could get the drawing perfect. Awesome attention too detail. I don't just give complements often. But John has his stuff together. He works 13 hrs a day . And his drawings speak for themselves. I would recommend him to other people.
