His attention to details & our needs, his connections with the county/city, and the resources he provided helped us get through without much hassle. His fees were fair and the work was outstanding. We now have a beautifully remodeled rental thanks to David & his team's vision. We would hire David Wright Associates again in a heartbeat. It also didn't hurt that he reminded us of John Hammond from Jurrassic Park

We had a wonderful demo-and-rebuild opportunity on the upper Sacramento River in Shasta county, and…read moreDavid become an invaluable collaborator. We would never have thought of the "modern rustic" design he created, but the house turned out to be both dramatic and easy living. The county made the approval process unbelievably difficult (seems their idea of "protecting the river" -- which we are all for -- is to make construction near it as disagreeable as possible!) but David persevered and we are thrilled with the result. We especially appreciated how David struck the balance between taking our input and providing his own guidance, including a clear nudge now and then when we needed it! Our family-legacy house is light and airy, space efficient, very well insulated, fire-resistant, and a lovely place to be in the woods.

There were some concerns with a home we were looking to buy. We asked Jon to check out the place for deck repairs/replacement, foundation repairs, sufficient grading, and drainage around the home.

Highly recommend at least calling Shea Building for a consultation or estimate.

Robert Wallis of Wallis Design Studio designed our award winning home in Redwood City. Look under…read morehis news section. He worked tirelessly when any issues came up, is very kind and easy to work with. One big issue that came up that was very difficult for Robert to navigate, that no architect should ever have to face, was helping us identify and fix serious issues after we terminated our original builder. He didn't charge us his five hour each way travel on October 8, 2013 to attend a meeting with Brian the Structural Engineer, a member of the Redwood City Building Department, our replacement builder, Tony of Castillo & Company (see Robert's photo credit of Castillo & Co.), Dave Ross of David Ross Associates and others who graciously attended to help us that day. Robert and Brian were able to fast track the calculations and retrofits to fix the code violations and issues that were not built to the original plans. Thank you, Robert, we are forever indebted to you for your kindness and sympathy, understanding, and also for giving credit on your website to Tony of Castillo & Company, our replacement builder, by listing him as the contractor. I will load a photo of our brown shingled Craftsman style finished SIP structure to show your fabulous award winning design of our home. You deserve all the credit for your creativity and ability to create a design worthy of capturing the city's annual award team's attention. A big heartfelt Thank You! Suzanne Zucker
