Andrea Hughbanks

Homeowner // Master Suite Addition - Portland, OR

"My husband and I worked with Don for an addition to the back of our house last year. He was easy to work with and created the perfect plan for our home. After living with the finished construction for several months now, there isn’t anything we dislike or would change. We loved our house before but now it’s our dream home."

Carlos Baca

Homeowner // Two-Story Plus Basement Addition - Portland, Oregon

“A few years ago I had a crazy idea that I would add 1,800 sq ft to my house as a DIY project. Don was one of the first people I hired to help me create the plans needed to do this massive undertaking. I had zero construction experience! Don played an important role in helping me succeed at designing a plan that worked for my family and getting those plans approved through the permits the city required. As the project progressed I worked with many different contractors, some that tried to take advantage of my inexperience and one succeed for a $5,000 loss on my part. The one thing I appreciated about Don when my project was all said and done, he was very honest, trustworthy, and worked hard on my behalf. That kind of peace of mind is priceless!”

Cody McCausland

Homeowner // Custom House Design - Brush Prairie, WA

“Don was great to work with on the design of our custom house. We worked with him on two different projects and both were completed on time and on budget. He was easy to work with and we ended up with just what we wanted in a house. I would recommend Don's services to anyone!”

Ed Gray

Homeowner // Laundry Room Addition - Gresham, OR

“I now feel like we have the most profound laundry room in all of North America!”

Whitney Peterson

Principal Broker // Farrell Realty

“Around June of 2010, my business partner and I contracted with Don to help us design an ADU (Accessory Dwelling Unit). Don promptly dove into the project and within a period of time that was quicker than we expected, he presented us with several design options and answers to our questions. Don was professional, responsive, knowledgeable (if he didn’t know something he would say so, but he always had the answer for us within a day or so - I always appreciate this) and fun to work with. Don did a great job. I would highly recommend him for your design project and would not hesitate to use him again should the opportunity present itself.”

Reid Martin

Homeowner // New House Design - White Salmon, WA

"I had gone through the entire design process with another architect to the point of permits two years prior to meeting Don Titus. I ended up feeling like the house that was designed was "the other architect's style" not necessarily what I wanted. Project shelved! I started over and looked around for another architect who was more open to working with my ideas and design; I found Don from a Craigslist posting. Don responded immediately, we met to discuss the project and I found him to be polite, a good listener, prompt and respectful. He has been on time and kept exactly to the bid he proposed. The construction has started and Don has been completely available for my questions and I look forward to his input as the project moves through construction phases."

Brad Thomason

Homeowner // Dormer Addition - Vancouver, WA

"We added a four window dormer to our house, Don completed his project on time and on budget. He was always courteous, punctual, and professional. I would highly recommend Don to anyone needing remodeling plans drawn up."

Jarred Isch

Homeowner // Porch Addition - Vancouver, WA

"Don Titus was hired to design the final layout of our addition/laundry room on the south side of our house. We have lots of windows to allow light in, as well as 2 skylights, which we love. He also designed a porch cover that frames our backyard BBQ area. Both turned out great!"

James Brown

Homeowner // Brown Addition

"Don helped us design a perfect addition to our house and was a pleasure to work with. He was very professional and took the time to explain everything so that we were all on the same page. The design was great, and the new music room is more wonderful than we'd imagined! Thanks again, Don!"

Guy Therien

Homeowner // Therien Addition

"I worked with Don in spring 2009 on drawings for a three-car garage addition to my home in Washington County. Don did a superb job and role-modeled “attention to detail”. He followed up with the plan reviewer after submission, and no plan changes were required for approval. I recommend Don for this kind of work without reservation. His work is of high quality and comes at a very reasonable/competitive price."

Dick Hartung

LHL Homes Inc.

"As a remodeling contractor, we have worked with more than a few designers. We lucked upon Don a number of years ago and now partner with him on all of our design-build projects. Don is a good listener, provides creative design, and is a great value. As builders, we most appreciate Don's build-ready plans that are well thought out and very buildable!"

Andrew Leith

Homeowner // Leith Home Addition

"Don was great to work with in designing our family home. He was very responsive to what we wanted while at the same time providing input into what was realistic. He went the extra mile helping us to find an engineer for our project as well. I would recommend Don for your project."

Webb Smith

Homeowner // Shed Dormer Addition - Portland, OR

"Don did some blueprints for me while we were doing a remodel on our house; everything came out perfectly. GREAT JOB!"

Nate Klauer

Homeowner

"I contracted Don to continue developing construction documents after the current drafter had become unavailable. Don was quick at getting up to speed on the project, and offered great suggestions on some areas which needed improvement. He was usually available quickly via phone and email to discuss project details. We eventually waded into difficult requirements from the City of Portland regarding wetland remediation issues. It was new territory for both Don and myself, but we bounced many ideas off each other and finally created a solution the City was willing to accept. I would recommend Don for drafting and design projects."

Dave Derting

Homeowner // Derting Addition

"I was pleased with Don’s Work. His work was thorough. He was timely. His communications were good. The plans that he did were accepted by the city planner’s office without difficulty."
