Testimonials

“Erica was the lead designer/engineer for our 4,000 SF, high-end, luxury home on Shark Key, FL.

She was a positive and critical factor in all aspects of the design and construction of the home…from structural & concrete to landscaping to room layout to pool design to interior design…she did it all and did it well.

I found her to be a knowledgeable and experienced Architect/Engineer; she was especially adept at dealing with the regulatory authorities.  She was able to quickly and creatively resolve jobsite issues and was instrumental in dealing with the general contractor and the various trades.

I have known her for 7 years and would highly recommend her and her firm for any construction project.”

“As a General Contractor working in the Florida Keys for 10 plus years, I would like to take this opportunity to thank Erica Poole for being a breath of fresh air. In addition to being very time efficient she is also very pleasant to work with. The ease of communication and rapid response to Reefside as well as our customers questions and concerns is deeply appreciated.

I highly recommend her service to other General Contractors and homeowners because of her ability to balance a strict Florida Building Code while aesthetically capturing the client’s vision. She takes pride her designs and is always concerned with giving the customer what they desire in the most cost-efficient way. Her knowledge of the ever-changing codes and building requirements makes her plans much easier to get through the permitting process, which is very big asset. I look forward to our business relationship for years to come!”

Erica designed our dream forever home and we couldn’t be happier. She listened to our  requests and ideas in order to get a sense of our style. She also had great suggestions to make  the house functional for entertaining and living the Keys Lifestyle. She took both our ideas and  her suggestions and molded them together to make into exactly what we wanted. The design  was gorgeous from the very start. She paid great attention to detail to think things through to  make the home not just beautiful, but functional.  Erica was also very cognizant of our budget. She understood our goals and constraints and  was able to make a design that had all the features we want and design the structure in a way  to keep the cost in line. 

All in all, the experience was absolutely wonderful. We have a home that is more beautiful than  we could ever have imagined.

In March my wife Kelli and I went to Erica Poole with a concept, more of an idea for our backyard pool.  Erica was attentive to our ideas and plans.  She used her expertise to guide us in the right direction and help us develop and visualize ideas.  When we finally decided on a design Erica produced plans and drawings that blew our mind.  We may have spent a little more money with better material and construction designs but it has all been worth it.  When your building inspector tells you, your plans and designs are done well you know it’s true.  Imagine all the designs and disasters inspectors see.  Every step of the way when I had a question or concern Erica was right there with an answer.  From the first day we sat down with Erica our pool was completed in six months.  I have a neighbor who contracted with a different designer/builder two months before us and they still have not broke ground, as we swim in our pool and relax in our spa. Thank you Erica
