"Congratulations on having passed the baton and completed your presidential year of huge accomplishments and warm relationships. Your leadership as president of the Remodelors Council was truly second to none. Your commitment and sacrifice for your industry and peers has been remarkable and, above all, tireless. You brought to the challenges not only a work ethic but a vision -- and you successfully passed that vision to others in a way that they absorbed it as their own and helped 'carry the flag.' Sincerest congratulations and thanks. You are indeed a pleasure, visionary, leader, wonderful friend, and a huge asset to your industry."       ~ Warren Clark, BMC SELECT Building Materials "Allen is very honest and dependable. His bids are very detailed and his follow through is excellent. He is easy to work with and won't 'take the money and run'."       ~ Valerie Smith, Loan Officer, HomeTrust Mortgage "I enjoyed reading your Builder Profile in the May/June issue of Texas Builder. I learned things about you that I had not known. It is nice to see the recognition for your hard work and the integrity you add to our industry. And it was great that you mentioned two other respected Houston builder/remodelers, Stephan Hann, and my good friend Russell Bird. Thanks for all that you do to add to the respect and dignity of the Greater Houston Builders Association and the industry in general. I know that you give a lot of yourself to others through your work in the association, and you are such a tremendous role model for those just entering the business."       ~ Lee Kirgan, vice president - Cabinet Division, Slone Lumber Co. "I am very impressed with Allen's level of organization and management without losing his creative love for his work. He is very committed to his craft and is able to manage all aspects of any project."       ~ Peggy Fuller, Owner, President, Lead Designer, By Design Interiors Inc. "It was such a great pleasure working with Gryphon Builders that I would refer them to anyone and everyone I know"      ~ Collyne Smeraldi "Thank you so much for all your hard work ~ and all the little extras you did along the way. I truly love my "new" home!"       ~ Pamela Landry "It is such a relief to know you have someone you can trust for all your remodeling needs - Thank you for the beautiful kitchen"       ~ Maggie Dietert "Our friends comment on the master retreat we now have: "it looks just like a resort" ~ thank you for making my wishes come to life"       ~ Deborah Byers "I never thought our remodeling project could be this exciting every step of the way"       ~ Joseph Smeraldi After experiencing a fire, Jack insisted on Gryphon Builders rebuilding their home stating "you don't understand, Allen Griffin is my builder"       ~ Jack Hart
