Our first project was a 6,000-square-foot new build, which Jana fully designed from the foundation up—she designed and drafted all custom cabinetry, designed the two-story fireplace wall, selected all fixtures, finishes, and furnishings, and even managed white-glove furniture delivery and installation from Texas to Colorado seamlessly. Early in the project, Jana pointed out potential construction issues during framing that saved me time and costly mistakes. I stay quite busy professionally, so after seeing her depth of knowledge, I also asked her to serve as project manager on site. She flew up to Colorado monthly and sent me detailed construction updates during the entire project that were invaluable. > Throughout our first project with Haven, I also got to know Armando very well, too. When our tile installer struggled with how to install large slate panels on our two-story fireplace, Armando stepped in to engineer a solution and source the exact technical components needed to ensure the installation was perfect. Our completed home is absolutely stunning, and we truly love living there. Jana thought of every single detail, Armando’s technical knowledge and insight was so helpful, and we’ve received so many compliments on how beautiful our home is. > > My friend and neighbor was so impressed with Jana and Armando’s work, that she hired Jana to design and furnish her new construction home, too—it’s also stunning! > > Last year, I engaged Jana again to update an existing home in my neighborhood to personalize it for my elderly mother so that she could move closer to me. Jana also furnished her home beautifully and carefully incorporated special family pieces into the design that were important to her. > > Haven’s professionalism, creativity, and attention to detail over these projects—and their willingness to travel back and forth between Colorado and Texas—have been remarkable. > > I’m now so confident in their expertise and integrity that I’ve invested with them on the construction of a custom luxury home in the Terrell Hills area of San Antonio, which they are currently designing, building, and furnishing. I wholeheartedly recommend Jana and Armando to anyone seeking a top-tier, luxury design-build experience. Their talent, problem-solving, and dedication are unmatched. **★★★★★ — Elaine Doyle, Aug. 2022** > Highly recommend Haven Design and Construction. They not only offered competitive rates, they provided a high quality design and results that were better then anything I could imagine! **★★★★★ — Alex Anderson, Jan. 2021** > I have been working with Jana on a new home construction project since March of 2019. I called her after seeing one of the kitchens she designed. I took a chance as I live in Iowa, which is a long way from San Antonio, Texas. After speaking with her, I felt as though she could make my dreams come true...and she did! > > She has designed my family room, main kitchen area, pantry, master bathroom, powder room, main laundry room, mud room, my office, staircase, basement kitchenette with wet bar, basement rec room area, and my children's individual bathrooms. In addition, she has provided input and suggestions on other areas of the home. I entrusted her with designing the previously mentioned areas and she has done a magnificent job. Never in my wildest dreams could I have ever imagined living in such a beautifully designed home. She has by far exceeded my expectations. Jana is tremendously talented and has an eye for decor. She genuinely cares for her clients and really focuses on bringing to life what they dream of. I am so appreciative for what she had done for myself and my family. Honestly 5 stars isn't enough for Jana Valdez and Haven Design and Construction!! **Comment from Haven Design and Construction:** > Alex, thank you so much for your kind words and for trusting me to bring your home’s design to life...even from states away! What a thrill it was to visit you in Iowa to finally see the project in person and to collaborate as we selected the final finishes. You are such a wonderful person and I truly have enjoyed getting to know you as we created your dream home over this past year! I’m so excited that you finally get to move in soon! May 2021 be a wonderful year of new beginnings for your family in your beautiful new home! **★★★★★ — eo822eo, Dec. 2020** > Not only are Jana and Armando insanely talented, but they are wonderful people as well. We have worked with them on several projects and their quality of work, honesty and professionalism are second to none. What impressed me most about them, and was the primary reason we chose them for our first project, is the way the work together and compliment each other. We were walking the kitchen and there were some obstacles that impacted the design. Armando said to Jana something along the lines of “Well if I extend this here and you can shift that in your design we can make it work.” The design and construction go hand in hand to make the most functional, beautiful design possible. Sadly we had to move from our house that they so beautifully remodeled (kitchen, butler’s pantry, laundry, master bath, secondary full bath, hall bath and refreshed other areas too). When we landed in our new city, guess who I hired for the design in my new house?? There was only one person I would trust with that - Jana. **Comment from Haven Design and Construction:** > E & E, I cannot express how much Armando and I have enjoyed working with your family over the past three years! It means so much that you have trusted us with two remodels and now the design (finish selections for lighting, tile, paint colors, countertops, etc.) and furnishing of your new home in your new city. It's always the highest compliment to have a repeat client and we could not have asked for a more wonderful working relationship with you both! I can't wait to show you the new furniture presentation soon and to get started on our next endeavor! Thank you again for your trust and loyalty over the years! We appreciate you so much! **★★★★★ — Charisma Machado, Dec. 2020** > My boyfriend and I moved to Texas from out of state in pursuit of buying our forever/ dream home. I found Jana and Armando Valdez on Houzz and so glad I did! We had an amazingly positive experience, and outcome, with Jana and the entire team at Haven Design and Construction. From the beginning, Jana had an open line of communication with me and orchestrated the process flawlessly from start to finish. We provided her with a clean slate since we wanted to start from scratch. The project included furniture, artwork, rugs, lamps, and accessories -- for my office, dining room, entry foyer, breakfast area, living room, master bedroom, master bedroom entry foyer, and an upstairs living area. We also replaced light fixtures with chandeliers in the entry foyer area, living room, breakfast area, kitchen bar, master bedroom foyer, master bedroom, and upstairs living area. Jana picked out the most beautiful tile for our kitchen backsplash and hardware for the kitchen cabinets and downstairs bathroom. From fabric selection to furniture to artwork, I couldn't believe how she just nailed it on the options she provided me for every room we were doing. I loved everything she picked out! She made this process enjoyable, fun, smooth, and best of all -- she helped us create our DREAM HOME. Our place looks AMAZING! Like MTV Cribs amazing! I highly recommend Jana, Armando, and the team at Haven Design and Construction. Trust them. Trust the process. You won't regret it! \#happy **Comment from Haven Design and Construction:** > Charisma, you were an absolute joy to work with and I’m so glad I met you and James! It means the world to me that you love your home and that the design is all you’ve ever dreamed of! Clients like you are what motivates me to do what I love. Thank you so much for trusting us with your project and I hope you enjoy your home for many years to come! **★ — Amanda Laub, Dec. 2020** > I loved Jana's designs. I reached out on Houzz to find out if she could take on my project, she responded by saying she could take on a Design project in February. Then followed a series of emails back and fourth. I sent a detailed email with what we want to accomplish and then told me that a project of "my size" (a total master bath remodel, laundry room remodel, pantry remodel and entry way remodel) was too small for their company. This confused me because I thought we were just doing a design project- not construction. I then asked her what budget she was looking for to make it "worth it". She responded by saying that if I included furniture in my order then that might make it work for her. I replied and told her that I did in fact need furniture. At this point we set up a phone consultation. She asked about our timeline, I told her want to move-in at the end of summer. Then she told me that they wouldn't be able to start construction for 8 months, then she said oh wait your in Dripping Springs- we don't do that area its too far (1 hour away). So then I brought up just doing a design for us and she said she doesn't do that because we are in an area thats her competition. HUH? Either I am in your catch area and you want > the job, not your competition, or I am too far away in which case a design project would be a good option. Not to mention all design ideas are photographed and available online- no copy-right. She's unorganized, unprofessional and too slammed with work. **Comment from Haven Design and Construction:** > Hi Amanda, > Thank you for taking the time to provide constructive criticism. We are always open to growing and improving as a company and as individuals. I would also like to thank you for your kind words regarding my design work and we certainly do appreciate you considering us for your remodeling project. However, there definitely seems to be a large miscommunication here and I apologize for the misunderstanding. I am so sorry that we were not the best fit for your extensive construction project in Dripping Springs due to it being outside of our service area for an in-depth construction project. Per our email conversation on Houzz just before Thanksgiving, here is the exact email that what I wrote to you when you contacted us: > > Hi Amanda, > Thanks so much for reaching out to us and I apologize for the delayed response. It is our busiest time of the year right now. We are not able to take construction projects in Dripping Springs, but we do offer interior design services there and "light construction" such as replacing light fixtures, plumbing fixtures, etc. Logistically, we just can't take large construction projects there, unfortunately. If we can assist you with a design project, please let me know. We would love to schedule a phone consultation with you. Thanks so much for considering us! Happy Thanksgiving! > > So, in regards to design projects in Dripping Springs, we do offer design service as long as it as not through another contractor. We are able to provide furniture, replacing lighting fixtures and plumbing fixtures, etc. in Dripping Springs, just not major construction. The reason that we cannot offer major construction services there (ie. ripping out a bathroom, rearranging a floorplan with plumbing in the slab, and reworking electrical, etc). is that it takes 1.5 hours to drive from our office in San Antonio to Dripping Springs. It would not be productive for you to hire us to drive three hours a day and only work five hours a day on your job. I wanted for you to have the very best service for your project, even if it's not logistically possible for our company to do it. So I recommended that you hire an Austin or Dripping Springs contractor who is closer to your service area. It was certainly not because we did not want your project or because your project did not meet our project minimum at all, it did. It was just outside of our construction service area for large projects. I always strive to be honest and up front with potential clients on initial phone consultations and that is why I offer them free of charge, to make sure that we are a good fit for your needs before you pay us anything or make any commitments to move forward with a project. > > Since we did not charge you anything and I set aside an hour of my time (even though I am quite busy, as you pointed out) to discuss your project free of charge, I am a little perplexed by why you felt a one star review was reflective of our limited interaction, but you are certainly free to write a review of your choice. I am very sorry that you felt that it was a negative experience. That was certainly never my intention. I pour my heart and soul into our projects and I pride myself in having positive and professional interactions with our clients and potential clients like yourself. I am not perfect, for sure, but I can certainly say that I tried to help you in the best way that I possibly could. > > I am not sure why you brought up our work being copyrighted, but I wanted to address that briefly, as well. It is not possible to copyright "design ideas" and if other designers copy our work, I truly do not have any legal recourse, unfortunately. However, I have learned to consider it a compliment that they love our style. All of our work is professionally photographed and the photos are, in fact, copyrighted and may only be used with the photographer's written permission or to advertise for our business. All photos are taken with client permission and I never share their personal information. > > In closing, I want to wish you all the very best with your move to Texas and with your remodel project in Dripping Springs. I hope that you find a wonderful fit and collaborative partner who can design and execute your project perfectly and that you enjoy it for years to come. Happy New Year and all the very best! > > Jana Valdez > Principal Interior Designer > Haven Design and Construction **★★★★★ — lisaleemaldonado, June 2019** > Haven Design and Construction design/build team performed a full remodel on our home. We can’t say enough good things about Jana, Armando and their entire team. They were professional, detail oriented, and efficient. Jana’s design work is beyond what we could’ve expected and made the vision of our dream home come true. Armando and his construction team were true professionals and their craftsmanship shows. We enjoyed working with the Haven team and appreciate their communication, patience and dedication involved in our project. We would highly recommend Haven Design and Construction! **Comment from Haven Design and Construction:** > Lisa, it was such a pleasure to work with you! Thank you so much for trusting our vision for your beautiful home. Totally remodeling, designing and furnishing your entire home was really a magical experience for us! We hope you enjoy your "new" home for many years to come! **★★★★★ — Cathy Pottorf, May 2018** > I have worked with a few contractors but working with Haven Design was nothing like my other experiences. This was an experience I hope to have again with them. First of all, Jana has amazing taste and Armando's work met all my expectations. My master bathroom has become the prettiest and nicest room in my house. Everything about Haven Design was top notch. They were dependable. did quality work and I look forward to working with them again. **Comment from Haven Design and Construction:** > Cathy, we loved working on your project and getting to know your family. Thanks so much for the kind review! We look forward to working with you again. It was an absolute pleasure! **★★★★★ — Paper Moon Painting, Nov. 2017** > Haven Design is fantastic!! As painting professionals, we work with a lot of contractors, remodelers, and homebuilders. I wish they were all as meticulous, thorough, and design-savvy as Jana and Armando. Their projects come out beautifully and we've seen first-hand how delighted their clients are. We'd highly recommend them to anyone! **Comment from Haven Design and Construction:** > Lisa and Peter, we always love working on projects with you! There is great peace of mind in knowing that the project will turn out beautifully, correctly and on time! You guys are true pros! **★★★★★ — Brittny Kimball, April 2017** > We had Haven Design and Construction help us choose paint colors, flooring, and totally renovate our kitchen. We could not be happier with the results, and enjoyed working with Jana and Armando so much! I cannot say enough good things about them and the amazing job they did. We will definitely be using them again, and recommend them to anyone looking for a skilled designer and contractor team. From conception to completion the whole project ran so smoothly and stress-free. They are very knowledgeable and skilled at what they do. I loved the kitchen design that Jana planned for me. She listened carefully to what I wanted and with great attention to detail made sure everything turned out beautifully. She managed all the many moving parts of this project with ease, and was a pleasure to work with. Armando's expertise and craftsmanship was excellent. The quality of his teams work was outstanding. Five-stars from me! **Comment from Haven Design and Construction:** > Brittny, our day is officially made! Thanks so much for the wonderful review and for trusting us with your project. Your family was such a joy to work with and we are thrilled that you love your kitchen! We are so excited to photograph it soon and share it with everyone! Thanks again for the amazing review! **★★★★★ — Abbie Francis, Dec. 2016** > It was such a relief to find a company who does design and construction in one. They were respectful of my budget and I was extremely happy with the design details that made my kitchen truly a functional, beautiful space for my family and friends to enjoy. Very respectful of pets and property while onsite and they were always easy to get in touch with! I was so happy with the quality of work, ease of communication and follow thru that we hired them to do a commercial remodel for our business. Super sweet people and very professional at all times! **Comment from Haven Design and Construction:** > Abbie, > Thank you so very much for taking the time to write such a wonderful review for us! We loved working on both of your projects and I can't wait to post pictures of your beautiful kitchen on Houzz when we get them back from the photographer. Thank you for trusting in my design selections and for trusting us with both of your projects. We were truly honored and you were such a joy to work with! **★★★★★ — litttledye\_west, Sept. 2016** > We built our home in CA and were spoiled by the team we worked with who taught us to recognize quality. After moving to Boerne, we embarked on a remodeling project, not knowing really who to work with. Our cabinets were a major disappointment. We contacted Todd Glowka, premier Hill Country builder who referred us to Jana Valdez. Jana and her husband and contractor, Armando, were hired to replace all of the kitchen cabinets. We could not be more pleased. Jana has an excellent eye for design and she worked closely with the cabinet maker to assure custom details we wanted were incorporated. Most importantly she has excellent planning and follow up skills. The design was developed in a short time and work begun on the cabinet boxes. Armando and his crew removed the old cabinets and the next day the new boxes went in. Within a month we had a brand new kitchen. Jana was excellent at scheduling other involved subcontractors and kept us informed as to when they would come on site and how long they would be there. Armando was invaluable in reinstalling the sink and appliances, necessary floor tile repair or replacement and saving the backsplash tile. We are so pleased with the results we are planning the next phase of cabinet removal and replacement. Haven Design and Construction was professional, efficient, worked within our budget and everyone on the project was enjoyable to work with. The results speak for themselves. **Comment from Haven Design and Construction:** > Charlie, Thank you so much for the great review! We truly enjoyed working with you and are so glad that we could replace your home's existing cabinets with new ones that you love! We are thrilled with the beautiful results and we look very forward to working with you on the next phase! ## Selected projects - [Cibolo Canyons Project](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/cibolo-canyons-project-pj-vj~7729084) - Location: San Antonio, TX - Photos: 23 - Description: We were thrilled when our sophisticated long-time client hired us to furnish her elegant new home.

The original kitchen layout consisted of a breakfast room and a small kitchen separated by a wall. There was also a very small screened in porch off of the kitchen. The homeowners dreamed of a light and bright new kitchen and that would accommodate a 48" gas range, built in refrigerator, an island and a walk in pantry. At first, it seemed almost impossible, but with a little imaginatio… - [Raintree Woods](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/raintree-woods-pj-vj~7104153) - Location: Fair Oaks Ranch, TX - Photos: 8 - Description: Our young professional clients desired sophisticated furnishings and a modern update to their current living room, dining room, primary bedroom and gentleman's "speakeasy lounge".

They desired a more practical kitchen layout and a splash of color. Previously, the cooktop was located in the small center island with a very limited prep area on each side. In addition, there was not a focal point and the unsightly refrigerator was on the main focal wall. The designer completely reconfigured the space by placing the range on the main kitchen wall, topped… - [Wine Cup Hill Kitchen & Living Room Remodel](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/wine-cup-hill-kitchen-and-living-room-remodel-pj-vj~6810620) - Location: San Antonio, TX - Photos: 10 - Description: Our clients desired an organic and airy look for their kitchen and living room areas.
