Client Testimonials

We wanted to express our sincere thanks to both Ashley and Mike. It was a fabulous experience getting to work alongside both of you. You made a very ‘scary’ process for us, simple and enjoyable. We appreciate how easy communication was, and the efforts you went to, to truly ‘listen’ to what we wanted.

- Myles & Lindsay

Client Testimonials

We wanted our home renovation project to deliver a more modern look and feel that would vividly complement the original design of our home. To achieve this we felt we needed the help of professionals. We saved time and gained valuable guidance by going through Robinson Residential. In the end, we felt the costs of getting design advice as a percentage of the total price of a renovation was a good investment.

- Helen & CJ

Client Testimonials

The process was made very easy with the help of John & Stephanie. They listened carefully to what we wanted and came up with some great ideas and suggestions. All which resulted in a beautiful plan! We were very happy with the excellent customer service and the end product.

Client Testimonials

While discussing our desires for the house plan and working on our changes with Robinson Plans we found the company to be very accessible, prompt, helpful and economical.

- Gerrit & Barbara

Client Testimonials

The level of customer service, speed, and ability to produce an outstanding design exceeded my expectations. I have shown the cottage plans to others and received nothing but compliments. In fact I have had others ask who I worked with, to which I’ve had no hesitation recommending your company and sharing your company’s contact details.

- James

Client Testimonials

I just wanted to let you know some of the comments I’ve had about the house plans that you drew for our new home. Our builder says the blue prints are awesome to work with. He just can’t believe all the detail you put into the house plans and it makes his life very easy when building the house. The truss builders said they really like building truss systems from Robinson Residential Designs because they are always right and have lots of detail.

- Randy & Sheila

Client Testimonials

Thanks for being speedy, concise & available with all of our questions, additions/deletions and last minute requests for house plans. The service from you has been the most beneficial investment we have made.

- Kathy

Client Testimonials

Mary and I want to thank you for all of your help and patience as we progressed through the house design and building process. It is a dream come true. Throughout the process, I feel we have developed a unique working relationship, actually more of a friendship as we talked, emailed, faxed, and “FedExed” drawings and ideas back and forth. With your help we have a new cabin that fits the lot well and blends in with other cabins of varying ages and designs on our beach.

- Doug & Mary

Client Testimonials

Susan and I have been impressed with John and his team at Robinson Residential Design.

- Brad & Susan

Client Testimonials

We really enjoyed working with Robinson Residential. John and his team were enthusiastic, professional and took time to consider our needs and design a house plan that works for us. Great experience from start to finish.

- Wade & Danielle

Client Testimonials

We are building a cottage in PEI and were looking for a cottage plan that would encompass all of our requirements. We found the right floor plan and the right look, but we needed some changes. We contacted Robinson and worked with them electronically and voila! We ended up with exactly what we wanted and, at an excellent price. We have worked with a number of designers and architects in the past and the cottage plans that Robinson produced are by far the most detailed and the most comprehensive. Our builder joked that he didn’t have much to do other than follow the blueprints. He had never seen such magnificent work either. Thanks Robinson. We will send pictures when we are finished to add to your online photo gallery.

- Anna

Client Testimonials

We were extremely fortunate to have engaged Robinson Residential Design to help with the design of our condominium. We relied heavily on their expertise and experience to successfully complete what for us, as first time builders, was often a difficult and bewildering experience. John has been creative , experienced and professional in every aspect of design and construction. More importantly for us, he was always available to help answer and solve the questions and problems that often seem to arise in these projects.

- Nick & June

Client Testimonials

My experience working with Robinson Residential Design has been excellent. They listened carefully to my ideas and opinions and did their best to incorporate them into a house plan that met our goals. John’s expertise and knowledge was beneficial in many aspects of my project beyond just the house plan. I would highly recommend the services of Robinson Residential Design. I found them to be honest, approachable and they gave me a very good value for my money. The cost I incurred was a great investment in providing me with the house that we wanted.

- Shaun & Gaylene

Client Testimonials

What an amazing house you have designed for us. I honestly have to admit that I really never ever thought we would actually move in. It seemed more like a really fun dream. My husband, who really didn’t have a lot to do with the designing and always was skeptical especially about the size (he thought too big), has done a complete 360 and loves the house I think more that the rest of us. I just wanted you to know we are truly happy and that you did a fabulous job.
