 Curtiss has designed three different projects for us on two different
homes. We have always been very impressed with his work. When you are dealing
with the local municipalities you need an architect like Curtiss who is very
detail oriented and is familiar with the codes and regulations. Because of
Curtiss, our project was approved quickly by the subdivision and the county
which saved us time and money. On every job our builders have complemented
Curtiss for his work. Curtiss receives the stamp of approval from the Todaro
family.
