To Whom it My Concern:

By this I would like to convey my great satisfaction with the Lucas Company. I engaged their services to construct twenty-eight additional apartment units at 420 Smilax Road in San Marcos, California. I found their services and personnel to be professional and highly knowledgeable. They helped to develop cost-cutting measures, performed as planned, and took extra care not to disrupt my existing tenants. I would have no qualms in using their services again in the future, and would highly recommend them to any who ask.

Yours very truly,

Stuart Frye
President
