"Our relationship with Mark and Candelaria Design began with a home renovation back in 1993 and developed into a close friendship... At CDA, everyone shares responsibility for making the company work. Mark has proven in these past five years that success is a fun journey, not a destination."

"Working on a project from the beginning with Candelaria Design allows us to give the client exactly what they want and even suggest things they would have never even thought of. It allows us to create a truly custom home of their dreams. What a great opportunity. Plus, Mark is so fun to work with. Every day is exciting."

"In 1982, we hired George Christensen to design our home in Paradise Valley.  George involved Mark Candelaria, as well as others, on our project.  We were very pleased with the skills, understanding, creativity and quality that they exhibited.  They had our absolute confidence.  The result was a home that was so well designed that we have not found the need to remodel or change it in over 20 years. Mark carries on this tradition of excellence, quality and caring.  We are delighted that Mark was an integral part of designing our beautiful home."

In regards to Mark Candelaria being named Master of the Southwest 2005 by Phoenix Home & Garden Magazine in March 2005: "The well-written, fabulous representation of the Mark Candelaria we have come to know and love was a pure delight.  They captured the real you both in the written word and delicious photography.  But they really 'nailed it' with the shot of you atop the fireplace, wine in hand!  So 'you'!  Heartiest congratulations."
