“John Edwards, Ed Grant, Bill Kriete and the rest of the Baybutt crew are now gone, but the beautiful work they have done stands as silent testimony to the whole firm's professionalism and high standards. It is also testimony to the intense caring that Ed and Bill displayed throughout this project, and their attention to every little detail. We could not have asked for a better experience, and will happily provide recommendations to anyone who asks.”
