THUMBS UP

a.  For Worry Free Construction:
Blake Gage of Desert Rose Development,  Info@desertrosedevelopment.com,   has been overseeing several projects for us since we bought our Casa last year.  We could not be happier with the results of both the work that was done and the communication with Blake during the projects.  He consistently stayed in touch throughout, sending us pictures regularly, sometimes several times a week.  The work was beyond our expectations.  Having Blake there to oversee things gave us peace of mind.  We have heard horror stories from many people about having work done while they are not there, and we just want to suggest that if you want a worry free project, Blake is the guy.
