Logos, portraits and project photos from firms' websites
Each item below is shown to identify a firm or to show what the firm presents as its own work. Each was saved from the firm's own website on the date shown, and the source page is linked. We have not yet asked any firm for permission to show them, so the rights remain with the firm and every one is a draft. Showing a firm's logo, photo or owner is not an endorsement, and we did not alter the images other than changing size or file format.
No logo is shown for AMEK Design + Build, College City Design-Build, Executive Remodeling, Garvin Homes, Higgins Construction, Ispiri, J. Carsten Remodeling, Knight Construction and Design, Lecy Bros., McCall Construction Company, Murphy Bros. Design | Build | Remodel, Revision, TWS Remodeling, Welter Construction, Woodcrest Homes LLC, XPRES Kitchen & Bath, because we did not find one on that firm's own site that we could attribute to it. 16 of 16 firms have no owner portrait or project photo here: we only took a portrait where the person is named beside it, and photos only where the firm's own page presents them as its work.
