**★★★★★ — Nanci Price, Dec. 2018**

> Jeff is super creative and talented and never failed to surprise us with ideas that would make our new house a beautiful and functional home. He has an eye for simple and different ways to finish a home to suit ones aesthetic spirit - like the light that pours into the middle of the house from skylights in a light well designed to suit the unique roofline. From customized non exotic wood/sustainable LVL baseboards and Formology specialty laminate surfaces, custom designed front door, custom designed gutters to accommodate the roof design (the roof design was created specifically to satisfy our 'green' goal of solar power), he really listened to what we wanted and needed in our 'age-in-place' home overlooking Drayton Harbour. His plans are incredibly detailed and show the depth of thought that has gone into designing the house.

**Comment from jeff alan gard architect:**

> Hello and Thank you for your kind words. Looking forward to seeing your artwork line those walls.  It has been a pleasure and hope to be back on site in the near future.

**★★★★★ — Jeff Oakes, Nov. 2015**

> We hired Jeff to help us freshen up a 20 year old project in Hayes Valley by Dan Solomon. It was clear from his portfolio and hearing positive reviews from his clients on a few projects in the SF Bay area that he listens to his clients and guides them in directions that nicely compliment project parameters.
>
> Our goal was to improve on an already marvelous and well designed three story town house in the middle of San Francisco. Jeff helped us squeeze every possible square inch of possible space to improve living, sleeping and cooking. This remodel project included a new bathroom, kitchen and new doors to every room to improve how we moved through the house and the quality of the different areas.
>
> Project meetings, initial ideas and a full set of construction documents were completed in a timely manner. Jeff is a great communicator, understands budgets, time constraints and has a fantastic network of colleagues and craftsmen/women to bring a project to life. We had a great experience working with him. We even hired him to design and make beautiful coffee table to compliment our collection of art and furnishings.
>
> Jeff Alan Gard gets an A+++ for his talent, integrity and services.
>
> Sincerely,
> Jeff Sidell
