Letters of Recommendation
Residential Only

The Deck House Armstrong Residence
To whom it may concern:
My wife and I were first introduced to Greg LeFler in late 2019. He came highly recommended by our general contractor as an architect with decades of experience. We spent the next four months working closely with Greg, and we cannot overstate how pleased and excited we were with the finished product. Greg went above and beyond in his efforts to communicate with us throughout the design process; he effectively managed our expectations while weighing design options with impact to budget; and he delivered a final product that incorporated hours of conversation and disparate ideas and wants into a one of a kind home.
Our unique circumstances forced us to collaborate virtually throughout the design process as we were living in the Middle East at the time. Greg availed himself to us regularly through video chats, and he provided regular updates via email. His use of Pinterest proved invaluable in understanding our vision, which we could not easily articulate.
Greg’s experience as an architect and builder was critical throughout the design process. Greg actively sought and highlighted opportunities to save money. This ability directly led to savings greater than Greg’s design fee, effectively paying for his services.
The final product well surpassed our expectations both in design and the timeline in which he delivered the plans. Since finishing plans, Greg had continued to work closely with our contractor and remains an integral member of the team.
We highly recommend Greg and we are happy to discuss our experience as needed. We can be reached via email - patrick.k.armstrong@gmail.com

Re: Letter of Recommendation for Greg Lefler, Architect.
To anyone considering a Greg Lefler design…Congratulations! In my opinion, you’re about to be delighted.
Greg spent considerable time getting to know me and the way I lived. He spent a great deal of time surveying the property and its surroundings and backdrop.
He worked with a very skilled builder for the first time on my project. A builder who has high standards and expectations. This builder likes to work with architects who can actually build their own designs which is something I have come to learn is unusual. Greg can and has done this.
Greg met and exceeded my expectations, and continues to work with the builder of my home. That says more, in my opinion, than my limited experience working with architects.
If you are reading this, I hope you are also viewing the photos of my home. It fits me and its environment. It is practical AND a work of art. It has soul. It is difficult to describe in words.
Greg Lefler earned my highest recommendation. I hope someday I get to hear about and see your project that Greg Lefler designed!
Respectfully,

Dear potential customer,
My husband and I would like to write to you about Greg Lefler and his skill as an architect. My husband first met Greg while building another custom home where Greg was the Architect. Neil was so impressed with Greg’s finished product and professionalism that we decided to hire Greg to design our new home here in rural North Idaho.
Greg has been very easy to work with since day one. As we worked together, he clearly communicated his vision for our home and was able to listen to, and fully incorporate, our ideas as well. We liked that Greg used printed and digital sketches at every stage in our design to help us visualize the finished house.
Since we decided to build a smaller home, there were a lot of considerations in how to fit the needs for our family of four into a smaller space. Greg met with us many times to understand what we needed and what we didn’t and always followed up with e-mail communication. It was a lot of back and forth at first, but Greg was patient and creative during that process. He answered the numerous questions we had, and pointed out potential problems that may arise during construction.
The final plans are what we dreamed about, a rustic and elegant home, In the end, Greg made space for everything we needed. More importantly, he built upon our requests to design a home that is even more beautiful than we imagined! His architectural style is unique and practical, elegant and modern.
We wholeheartedly recommend Greg’s work as an architect.
Sincerely,
Amanda Knapp and Neil Howard

To Whom It May Concern:
It gives me great pleasure to write this letter of recommendation for Greg Lefler. I have had the pleasure of knowing Greg for the past two years.
Greg is a gifted architect and builder who takes great pride in his work. From the smallest detail to the largest job, Greg gives it his all. He genuinely cares about the projects he is creating, and more importantly, he genuinely cares for his clients. Greg is always courteous and professional, arriving to work on time and not leaving until the job is completely, thoroughly finished. He is respectful and gracious to everyone on a job site, and, at the same time, has a great sense of humor and is able to bring a lightness and humor to his colleagues.
Greg has the ability and vision to solve any problem that comes his way. While working on a remodel job for me, I never once heard him say, “I can’t do that,” or “It can’t be done.” Greg can make even the most intricate and tricky details happen. He would always remains cheerful and polite, even when I would change my mind in midstream, requiring him to undo work he had already completed to accommodate my fickle decision making.
Lastly, Greg’s work is plum, quality, and beautiful. He has such an amazing sense of design that he can offer suggestions to improve anyone’s vision of what a room/home/deck, etc. might look like. He is impeccably honest, committed to staying within a budget, and a pleasure to work with. I cannot say enough good things about Greg!
It is without hesitation that I recommend Greg for any position for which he applies. Trust me, you won’t be disappointed with Greg’s work and artistry.
Please don’t hesitate to contact me if you need further information.
Sincerely,
Annie Faggard
