The remodel of our home was a daunting task due to structural and space limitations. Danielle has an amazing talent to listen, gain insight from her clients then respond with a plan that includes ready made choices, logical assumptions while still open for amendments. Danielle has the ability to condense multiple styles and choices into a beautiful, logical progression for her clients. If you feel overwhelmed and don't know where to start with you remodel; Danielle is the answer and will make your dream house come true! **★★★★★ — Brian Beatham, Dec. 2018** > Danielle is nothing but a pro. Extremely easy to with. I wish all my designers were as professional as her..Every project we work on goes absolutely smooth and flawless. Highly recommend her for any of your designing needs...Brian **★★★★★ — Jack Thompson, Nov. 2015** > Danielle is the consummate professional! On the one hand, she has all the technical skills to guide you through the design process (that's a BIG deal!), and translate that into the plan you had envisioned, on the other hand, she is gentle within our discussions that revolve around design choices and technical challenges. She is also a pleasure to be around! Our project involves a ground-up construction project, and she has been SO helpful. My wife, so detailed oriented and focused (she's the boss ya know!) , has commented so many times that Danielle feels like a friend who has guided her through some of toughest decisions design-wise, but also with product choices. She is a Great choice for all types of projects; she will be a great help from start to turn-key. > Jack and Kim Thompson **Comment from Danielle Grenier:** > Thank you so much, Jack & Kim! I really enjoy working with you both and your home is going to be amazing! :-) **★★★★★ — Plumbed Elegance, March 2015** > Danielle is thorough. She is very detail oriented. She flies under the radar in that she is not defined by her projects but rather, she bonds with her clients and each one of their dreams becomes beautifully realized -- yet even better than they dreamed-- because of her quiet and astute nature. She sees what her clients need often before they do. She designs livable, practical and beautiful spaces. She is comfortable working with so many different design aesthetics because of her intuitive gift of listening and learning about each client. We feel very lucky to work with her because she dots every "i" and crosses every "t" making our job easier. We highly recommend Danielle Grenier. **★★★★★ — bondawhite, Dec. 2013** > Danielle Grenier is a California State Registered architect with 12 years in the local architecture and construction industry. She is also a Certified Green Building specialist. > > Danielle has a "can do" attitude when it comes to design. She designed and prepared architectural drawings for our kitchen and bathroom remodel. She made the kitchen and bathroom extremely functional while creating a feeling of much more space. > > Where Danielle made a significant difference was in the bathroom redesign. She created a bathroom that allows us to "age in place". While keeping the bathroom aesthetically pleasing she designed it to accommodate our needs as we age. The bathroom is safe with non-slip floors; there is a no curb shower to avoid any trip hazards and handicapped accessible if needed; and easy accessible and ergonomic bath fixtures. > > The kitchen is a beautiful and happy place to be. We now have an incredible amount of storage and everything is within easy reach. She gave us a timeless, bright and cheerful kitchen within extremely functional space. > > The project came in on time and on budget. > > All in all Danielle is the total design professional. She is client centered and an excellent listener. She designed the kitchen and bathroom of our dreams. We would not change a thing. Danielle takes dreams and transforms them into reality. Thank you. **Comment from Danielle Grenier:** > Thank you, Bonda! It was such a pleasure working with you, Bob, and Mason! It means so much that you love your new space and enjoyed the experience! Hope to see you all soon! **★★★★★ — Carla Carstens, Nov. 2012** > Danielle supports my office by supplying all needed > plans and elevations for interior design projects. She is always > on time, comes up with great ideas, and is a dream team member! > Danielle hears the needs of the designer and/or client, and responds quickly > efficiently, and respectfully. **★★★★★ — b\_jacobson, Oct. 2012** > Danielle worked with us and designed the excellent remodel of our living room, kitchen, and one bathroom. She wasted no time helping us to clearly define our aesthetic preferences for styles, materials, and colors, and she was brilliant at redesigning the spaces so that they are warmer, more comfortable, more humane, more beautiful. She is a very kind, intelligent person and we feel very fortunate at having had the privilege to work with her. > Danielle works with a design/build company, and they laid out a timeline that they adhered to, to the day. The subcontractors were top-flight. The relationships between architect, project manager, and us were excellent. We recommend Danielle Grenier without reservation. **Comment from Danielle Grenier:** > Thank you Brian! Working with you and Ann was a fun adventure with color, texture, and space! I love that your home now reflects your personal style! Just let us know when you're ready to attack the master bath! ;-) **★★★★★ — User, Sept. 2012** > Danielle was the architect/design consultant for our whole house remodel. > Danielle is the best! > > Her energy, creativity, thoughtfulness, design talent, relentless search for the best of whatever we needed for our remodel, her patience with my at-times indecisiveness, her ability to listen carefully and well, her most appropriate candor delivered with kindness, and in every aspect, her counsel skills, ability, and knowledge are of the highest order. I can't speak highly enough of her. > > She met deadlines and worked extremely effectively with others. **★★★★★ — Tawni Santee, July 2012** > Jeff Talmadge and his talented crew replaced all the floors in our home. Because of health reasons, we needed to replace our mexican tile floors with smooth wide plank hardwood floors; while we stayed in our house. - Everyday, the crew arrived on time - worked hard all day - left for the day after all scraps and dust was taken out. Our floors turned out beautiful - Jeff was wonderful to work with and he made us feel as if we were his only clients - even though we weren't. ## Selected projects - [HIDDEN BEACH GETAWAY](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/hidden-beach-getaway-pj-vj~5964622) - Location: Aptos, CA - Photos: 6 - [Westside Rejuvenation](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/westside-rejuvenation-pj-vj~5650965) - Location: Santa Cruz, CA - Photos: 32 - Description: Years of wear and tear required a modern freshening up.
