Jennifer Howard founded JWH Design & Cabinetry in 1996, in Rye, NY.  Her expertise in creative space planning have transformed hundreds of tricky layouts into stunning rooms with maximized flow and function. 

Every JWH Client works with Jennifer on the initial design process, working through the critical decisions that set the path for the entire project.  Jennifer remains involved with each project, and provides her stamp of approval on all decisions.  Every JWH Team member has their own specialized skill, from technical drawings, plumbing selections, and tile design, all the way through the final paint colors and installation supervision.  The JWH Team all works together on every project to make sure each Client is handled expertly and efficiently from beginning to end.

Jennifer and the JWH team offer dedicated, personalized services with meticulous attention to detail.  In addition to creating innovative, functional and unique custom cabinetry, we offer a range of design services that include architectural design, space planning and furniture layouts, full cabinetry design, custom millwork design, plumbing and electrical design and selections, tile selection, as well as full General Contracting services in NY and CT.  We understand how to pull all the decisions together that reflect your needs, offering our honest and unbiased advice, while always respecting the overall budget for the project.

Jennifer’s design and planning expertise is not just a product of her work experience, but also her personal experience.  She lives and works in Rye, NY with her husband, Rob, who handles the construction side of JWH, five children and dog.  She has moved 30 times in 38 years of marriage and has learned first-hand the importance of creative design, careful planning, and efficient execution.

**★★★★★ — robbie marcus, April 2022**

> Had an absolutely outstanding experience with JWH for my kitchen and bar renovation.  From start to finish, the entire team (design and contruction) is professional, easy to work with and very hardworking... and the final result is perfect!  The cabinets are fantastic quality as well. I give them my highest recommendation!

**Comment from JWH Design and Cabinetry LLC:**

> Thank you for sharing your feedback!  Your new spaces look fabulous.  Jennifer

**★★★★★ — Kara O'Brien, Feb. 2022**

> We recently worked with JWH on a kitchen and family room renovation and highly recommend them. From the design phase through construction, the entire team was creative, responsive and always incredibly professional. Our space is absolutely beautiful and just the right fit for our house and family. We look forward to working with them again on future projects!

**★★★★★ — Sveta Matayev, Aug. 2021**

> Jennifer and her team designed and built our kitchen cabinets as well as our 2 bathrooms.  Jennifer is incredibly talented and was able to deliver elegance and functionality to each space.  The team was incredibly patient with us, demonstrating the highest level of professionalism and craftsmanship.  We wood hire them again in a heartbeat!

**★★★★★ — HU-665783001, Nov. 2020**

> I’ve done 3 projects with JWH, kitchen, master bathroom and mudroom. With each project they have exceeded my expectations. It’s hard to live through a construction project but the JWH team Are always professional and very respectful when it comes to keeping a clean work space.

**★★★★★ — HU-717300203, Nov. 2020**

> I live in a JWH home and it is the best! I love them and all of their work.

**★★★★★ — Jennifer DeMarrais, Feb. 2020**

> The JWH team was a pleasure to work with on our kitchen renovation -- they worked hard to realize our ideas about what we wanted, but also called on their experience and expertise to incorporate design elements that made our vision so much better. Having design, millwork, and construction all under one roof made the experience smooth and resulted in a construction time that was shorter than I anticipated, without sacrificing quality or detail. We could not be happier with our new kitchen.

**★★★★★ — HU-727065257, Jan. 2020**

> JWH installed the kitchen in my new home and didn’t just exceed expectations but made me feel like a king. The quality/workmanship of the cabinets were top notch, the design services provided the exact look I was trying to achieve and incorporated all of the efficiencies anyone would ever need in their kitchen. The service/installation/post install follow up was white glove.  I would hands down recommend them to anyone looking for the perfect kitchen.

**★★★★★ — HU-511096053, Dec. 2019**

> From the initial estimate to the completed job(painting/refinishing kitchen cabinets) this company has been an absolute pleasure to work with.  The quality of their work is outstanding!  They are professional, courteous and very skilled. I highly recommend JWH Design!

**★★★★★ — Marc and Peggy Alimena, Aug. 2019**

> We worked with JWH Design and Cabinetry LLC on the design of our new kitchen and we are very happy with the results.  We especially appreciated Jennifer's patience in presenting options that enabled us to finalize our dream kitchen design. In the end we moved and pushed out walls to allow us to include a large island and a double oven.  We are very pleased with both the form and the function of our new kitchen.
>
> It was a pleasure to work with Rob Howard and the JWH construction team on the construction of our new kitchen and the knock on effects that our new kitchen had on our first floor. We love the work that they did in our kitchen, powder room, family room, dining room and hallways. It almost looks like a new house.  Rob was very approachable, listening to our comments and concerns.  We valued how respectful the team was of the fact that we were living in the house during the construction.
>
> We highly recommend the JWH team who made our dream kitchen (and our first floor renovation) a reality!!

**★★★★★ — lesliewortmann, Aug. 2019**

> JWH designed and installed new master bedroom closet, storage and master bath. The entire team was a pleasure to work with. Wonderful ideas and thoughtful problem solvers.

**★★★★★ — Julie McGlynn, July 2019**

> We were extremely pleased with JWH from start to finish.  They really listened to what we wanted from our renovation and designed our kitchen, mudroom mater bath room and laundry room to fit our family’s needs. Jennifer and her team provide tons of insight and guidance in the design process. When we ran into unforeseen construction issues they went back to the drawing board so we did not loose any of our wish list items.  Their installation team was incredibly responsive,  professional and helpful.  We could not have done this renovation without their help.

**Comment from JWH Design and Cabinetry LLC:**

> Thank you, Julie.   We are very excited to have your home photographed so others can see the remarkable transformations of your spaces!

**★★★★★ — Paul Gencarelli, July 2019**

> Jwh built and installed my kitchen ten years ago and it still looks like the day they finished.  Jens creative design was amazing and her ability to think outside the box to create a highly functional space  was like no other. Jwh’s team are a pleasure to work with from the delivery to the installer

**Comment from JWH Design and Cabinetry LLC:**

> Thank you!  It's so nice to hear from past clients.  I hope all continues to be great with your JWH Kitchen.  We are here when you need us!

## Community Q&A

**Q: natural wood used in project?** *(in Photo Questions)*

I love the grain & color of the wood. Which wood species is it? How did you achieve the 2-tone look in the built-in bookcases?

A: I’m so glad you like it! These cabinets are built in furniture-grade rift cut white oak. We use a natural protective finish only so the shade variations are part of the wood. And please keep in mind that the colors in photo itself may appear slightly different on your computer. Hope this helps! Jennifer
