Communication was seamless, and deadlines were consistently met. What impressed me the most was his commitment to ensuring client satisfaction. He went above and beyond to address any concerns and make necessary adjustments, ensuring the final result was nothing short of spectacular. **★★★★★ — James Smith, Jan. 2024** > I cannot express enough gratitude for the exceptional work that JWB Architects has done. My dream house is now a reality, and it exceeds all my expectations. If you're seeking a dedicated, talented, and reliable architectural firm to bring your vision to life, JWB Architects is the clear choice. Thank you, John, and the entire team, for making my dream home a breathtaking masterpiece. **★★★★★ — david lee, Jan. 2024** > I had the pleasure of working with John from JWB Architects, and I couldn't be happier with the results. John's expertise, attention to detail, and creative approach truly brought my vision to life. The entire process was smooth, and the final outcome exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend JWB Architects for their professionalism and exceptional design skills. **★ — HU-76444731, July 2022** > NEVER HIRE THIS COMPANY! THEY ARE THE WORST! After they got our money they did not deliver the service they promised after 3 months long wait. They promised a world before we signed up. Excuses and excuses after we signed up. Everyone is extremely rude after they got our money. You should NEVER hire them and in my opinion if you do you are making a terrible mistake and you will be regretful! **★★★★★ — HU-422284600, June 2022** > Mitch Powers was absolutely outstanding! I reached out to several architectural companies and no one returned my call. Mitch called me back and came out to see our space the same week. He and his team not only created the plans needed for our business but they were also available for follow up. I appreciate JWB Architects so much! They helped to make our dreams come true. **★ — Richard Ptachcinski, March 2017** > BUYER BEWARE! > When looking for an architect, stay away from JWB architects. We were referred to JWB to provide architectural drawings for an outdoor kitchen and patio project. > Their workmanship was wrought with errors that are still being addressed and are costing us thousands of dollars to rectify. Response times, except for sending invoices and asking for payment, were slow requiring multiple calls and e-mails prior to receiving a response. Deadlines were regularly missed and when the product was provided, there were mistakes. There was absolutely NO creativity in designs provided in spite of us providing multiple examples of the look and feel we were trying to achieve. > Finally, their fees were approximately double of what we subsequently have learned it the “going rate” for similar projects. > If there were negative numbers in the rating scale, that would be our rating. **Comment from JWB Architects:** > Thank you, Richard, for your review as we look for every opportunity to improve our customer service and company standards. In regards to your comments, we provided you with a design concept and drawings you were fond of, however, your Homeowners Association would not approve the modern design you preferred. We spent several weeks, providing you and your HOA with various edited drawings to comply with both your needs and the rules of your HOA. We can understand your frustration with the project since you brought in a new builder, who could not fully understand how to complete the project even after designs were submitted and approved by you, by your HOA and by Orange County. Regardless of all the change requests, we continued to provide you with support and consideration beyond our contract to help the new builder bring this design to life without request for additional compensation. From the start of our participation in this project, communication remained constant between the original general contractor, our company and yourself. Again, while we can understand your frustration with the project and the many required revisions due to several road blocks along the way, we provided you with service above and beyond the scope of work complete with site visits and financial considerations. > > We do wish you all the best and hope you enjoy your new outdoor summer kitchen. **★★★★★ — tati\_guilloty, March 2016** > I have to absolutely give JWB 5 +. They are very professional and they care about their customers. I have dealt with various gentlemen working for JWB via telephone and in person and they all been very helpful with my home issues. Mitch Powers, you are the best. Thank you for sending over your team. I will be more than happy to refer anyone to you. > > YV **Comment from JWB Architects:** > Thank you Yolanda! you are very kind. we love you too! I will be sure to share this with the team as it will make their day to know their hard work and determination has been much appreciated. > -John Burt > President JWB Architects **★★★★★ — Lynne Brewer, June 2015** > John designed a very custom 4 bedroom 4.5 bath 3800 sq ft "coastal style" two story lake house for us in Kissimmee, FL. John did an excellent job and we are very pleased with his work. His many suggestions and his architectural vision were instrumental in converting our rather general ideas into something that is one of a kind and really beautiful. The way he positioned the house on the lot to preserve the many oak trees and to also take advantage of the lake view is just spectacular. He was very tolerant of our changes and patient with us when when we were indecisive. He paid close attention to our budget. Thanks to John showing us the possibilities we have a 1,000 sq ft rear upper deck, a 4 car garage, an elevator, and 1800 sq feet of unfinished storage space available for future build-out. Working through a project like this in the uncertain 2008 real estate market was difficult. John was a stabilizing influence that gave us the confidence to press forward with our dream. He is absolutely top notch. **★★★★★ — gochisushicafe, May 2015** > Jen is very professional and very punctual. They will work with you and your time frame which is important to have when projects need to be done. **★★★★★ — Florida Quality Construction, Inc., May 2015** > John Burt provides a detailed set of construction drawings, which we can effectively use as General Contractors. Educated in Chicago with a solid understanding of what is germane to Florida, he is a very good architect that uses both an diversification and practicality in his approach to architecture. **★★★★★ — tberger7, Aug. 2014** > John and his team are great to work with. They are very professional and provide top level work. I Would highly recommend there services. **Comment from JWB Architects:** > Thank you so much for taking time out of your busy schedule to write a review of our services. We do strive to exceed our client’s expectations and very grateful to you for acknowledging publically that we were able to do so for you. **★★★★★ — fatherphil5, July 2014** > This company designed a church building with a school for us. It was an attractive building, as well as functional. Unfortunately, we never got past the permitting phase of this project because of drop in our funding. The service rendered by JWB Architects was always friendly and professional. **Comment from JWB Architects:** > We are happy to hear that you were pleased with the overall outcome of the design. We are holding out on hope that one day your dream will become reality. Thank you again for your kind review. ## Selected projects - [Ocean Club](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/ocean-club-pj-vj~1019500) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 9 - [Blue Spring Reserve](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/blue-spring-reserve-pj-vj~1019471) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 10 - [Tolan](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/tolan-pj-vj~1019483) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 17 - [Quinton](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/quinton-pj-vj~6364514) - Location: Windermere, FL - Photos: 25 - [Wyland](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/wyland-pj-vj~1047328) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 13 - [Pendio](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/pendio-pj-vj~1212732) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 14 [See all 6 projects](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/architects-and-building-designers/jwb-architects-pfvwus-pf~1796204690) ## Ideabooks - [Lake Home Ideas](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/124240808/list/lake-home-ideas) — 21 ideas - [Miller House Ideas](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/76596408/list/miller-house-ideas) — 149 ideas [See all 2 ideabooks](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/users/jwbarchitects) --- *Source: Houzz professional profile.
