Client Feedback  |  January 6, 2018

"Mark did the design work for the company that will be building our new home.  We found Mark to be the consumate professional always willing to listen and help us to create our vision for the house. This has been a challenging project as we are creating a separate dedicated space for a family member with special needs and another space for an elderly parent. Mark has been with us every step of the way including a redesign to satisfy our desire to shrink the footprint to allign more to our budget for the project. He has been a joy to work with, talented, personable, willing to do whatever it takes to get the job done. We highly recommend Mark as an excellent designer!"

When we first contacted Mark Beard about designing our custom home, we had a lot of ideas.  And then, once Mark was able to show us the layout ideas we had asked for, we realized that we actually wanted to make major changes; it wasn't a problem at all for Mark.  He was a good listener, and he was able to make suggestions that ended up being closer to what we actually wanted.  Over several iterations, with changes in some major and some minor details, we got to the layout where we couldn't think of anything more we would want to change!  We are so excited to have the final blueprints, and are looking forward to the construction phase.  Mark has been so easy to work with, professional, calm, and very competent.  I hope we can invite him over once our home construction is complete.

I cannot say enough wonderful things about LifeStage Home Designs!  As a local custom home builder, we take pride in our home designs, whether it's for a spec or pre-sale.  Partnering with Mark and his team encompasses a seamless and collaborative experience.  They communicate throughout the process, set up meetings as necessary to review ideas/changes and always meets or exceed their delivery timelines.  There is no design that feels too small or large for LifeStage and it's always exciting to see their floor plans come to life.  I will continue to recommend LifeStage to other builders and clients!

Mark and his team were incredible to work with. We started from scratch in designing a home and Mark was able to compile all of our wishlist items and inspirations into our plans with perfection. We would recommend LifeStage to anyone and everyone. We couldn't have imagined a better design experience.

The level of expertise and service meeting our desires and expectations was excellent!

- Rich & Annette C.


Many companies provide plans but how many provide complete plans with services that also help the builder in sales. Lifestage Home Designs does just that. Their detail sheets are 2nd to none which eliminates many of the calls I would otherwise get from trades asking how I want something done.  Also the offering of renderings that are done with the topo of the lot and colors that I plan to build with are great marketing tools.

Mark patiently listened to all  our unique requirements , from the rough sketch drafted to  the final plan design of our new home. He is a thorough professional and was always very willing to accommodate and make any changes required and give us suggestions when we had any questions. We had many meetings and sessions to finally design our dream home. We are very happy with our final home design and plan and would highly recommend Mark Beard for all your home design and plan needs. Thank you so much Mark again, appreciate all your help.
