### Reviews

**★★★★★ — User, Dec. 2021**

> Nothing says elegance, comfort, function and respectful engagement than having Janis touch your dwelling to make it your home. Janis was always cognizant of presenting options (rather than 'musts') from which to choose and presenting those after researching what we wanted and needed - research time about other parts of our lives rather than just materials and colours to put together.
> Approachable and warm, Janis gave pros and cons not only with her suggestions but when we participated ourselves by either asking questions or searching online ourselves to try and answer our own 'What ifs?'!
> But that was us more important to ensure success was Janis' hands on the other part of the project puzzle whereby our contractor, sub-trades and even building inspectors were willing to discuss with her and her team what made both design sense and common sense for three timeframes; during the build, the short term as we moved in, and the long term as we progress through life's stages with family and friends.
> Working with Janis has been like having a friend and objective professional alongside us since day one and even now after completion. We couldn't thank her more every day for her guidance, including with random sms text messages proclaiming how well things continue to flow, work and look!

**★★★★★ — BC Granite, Feb. 2020**

> Janis Gosbee is wonderful to work with. She can turn a space into something not only beautiful but functional. She has a great eye for color. I would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone.

**★★★★★ — Linda Vo, Jan. 2020**

> Hiring Janis has been one of the best decisions my husband and I have made with building our dream home. Janis' expertise, advice, eye for design, and connections in the industry have been vital to our project.
>
> She worked within our budget and understood what we wanted (and when we didn't know what we wanted she gave us options that worked with what we were looking for). She showed us where we should spend our money and where we could save.
>
> Janis & Megan have been absolutely lovely to work with. I can't imagine our entire 2 year process without them both. 100% recommend and would hire them again.

**★★★★★ — Vera Vlaovich, Dec. 2019**

> This is the 2nd time I have hired Janis. Previously in 2002 to design and oversee a large home renovation. Based on my experience with Janis then, I decided to hire her again including not even considering another designer. I knew Janis would deliver as promised. Janis is extremely creative, client-centered, professional and simply a delight to work with.
>
> This year she helped me redesign my kitchen, 2 bathrooms and most of the main floor in our home. This included choosing all the materials for the kitchen, bathrooms, furniture, light fixtures, paint colours and access to the other professionals she works with and referrals to suppliers. Janis easily tunes in to her clients’ design and lifestyle, needs and cash flow for projects. She is a stickler for details and deadlines. I am honoured that she was available and returned to help me. The results are beyond even my own vision. Just thrilled with all. Thank you Janis.

**★★★★★ — Pam Hossack, Nov. 2019**

> Janis and her team helped us with the original renovation of our 1912 house. At the time, we left 2 rooms in a basic state. Recently, we realized what we wanted to with those spaces and immediately asked for Janis' help. We couldn't be happier with their great service and design! They considered all of our needs and wishes...highly, highly recommend!

**★★★★★ — Neil Piller, Nov. 2018**

> Janis did a great job helping us to overcome some challenging space planning in our home.  Her team came up with a great layout that meets our needs and created permit level drawings.  They also helped us with a selection of finishes that echoes our lifestyles and tastes.  We were very happy with every aspect of working with janis and fully recommend her and her team.

**★★★★★ — Hilary & Alexis Davis, Nov. 2018**

> We hired Janis & Megan to help us reconfigure our small character house to make the space more functional. They were very helpful listening to all of our ideas and managed to make most of our wish list happen on a tight budget. They also recommended a contractor for us who could make the project possible and he did an amazing job. We love our new house which is so much more open and modern now - the space feels twice as big now!

**★★★★★ — Sherry Scoular, Nov. 2018**

> I have known Janis for over 10 years now and worked on multiple projects of varying sizes.  Her ability to assess a clients needs, provide planning options and costing is amazing.  She has been a key attribute to the success of my projects.  I often reach out to her to help me with projects knowing she will always be a huge asset to me and my clients.

**★★★★★ — Marguerite Mousseau, Oct. 2017**

> I approached Janis about updating my condo after seeing her refurbishment of the condominium building where I live.  She was very positive and professional in her approach and quickly came up with an overall plan that I liked.  When we started looking at the details and how much work should be done, she was very creative and flexible in developing options that were within my budget. Once we had decided on the final plan she coordinated the contractors and kept me updated on the progress of the work every step of the way.  She and her team were always approachable and friendly and made the whole process so much more enjoyable than I had anticipated.  And, I'm very pleased with the final result!

**★★★★★ — Michael Thouin, Oct. 2017**

> My experience with the team at Janis Gosbee Design Inc. was great…again! I worked with Janis years ago on a commercial project and recently retained her again for my residence. At my request, she was able to increase the number of bedrooms and bathrooms in my upper floor with creativity and provided a few different options to choose from. We worked together to find the best solution. It was a very successful process and I am thrilled with the result: large bedrooms and full second bathroom. We also completed a full reno to the kitchen and updated the entire main floor. JGD Inc. also sourced the furniture which was a huge help as it is very time consuming, so narrowing down the options out there was great. The space is inspiringly contemporary yet timeless, and I would highly recommend JGD Inc. to anyone looking to renovate or build new.

**★★★★★ — gnt73, Jan. 2017**

> "We recently hired Janis Gosbee Design Inc. after a strong recommendation from our architect, Al Diamond (Alan Diamond Architect), to partner in the design of our new "forever home".
> Being new to the Architectural and Design process, their involvement was invaluable. From our first interaction through to the completion of the project, Janis, and team inspired us with their passion for design and responsive, professional service. Ultimately, it was the creativity and confidence lead by Janis Gosbee Design that resulted in the creation of a wonderful family home that is reflective of our lifestyle vision and values. Thank you Janis, Megan, and team!"
> G & J

**★★★★★ — Marian Reid, Jan. 2017**

> Janis and Dorothy staged my home before putting it on the market. They utilized many of my own items, added a few key pieces with ease and expertise, and created maximum impact and effect.
> I am looking forward to having the JGD Inc. team design the interior of my new condo in 2017.
