James Wentling/Architect

I've used Jim as my architect for over 10 years. I was first building single family houses in DelCo PA and Jim did all our houses. Then when I need an architect for my own Zero Energy Ready Home I went to Jim. He's never had done a Zero energy home but was interested in the project. He's easy to work with, is very cost effective.

My husband and I just built our dream home and James Wentling was our architect. He was extremely helpful in making our wishes a reality. James had good ideas, responded to our emails quickly and was extremely professional. We highly recommend James if you are in search of an architect.

We hired Jim Wentling and his team to design a new home for our family. Jim did a great job on the design and incorporated everything we were looking for. Project was completed on time and very close to budget! Thanks Jim

We hired James Wentling/Architect to design plans for our new dream summer home after the house was completely destroyed by hurricane sandy. James and his staff did an excellent job. They listened to what we wanted in our new home and designed plans that addressed our wish list while capturing the character and charm of the homes in our small quaint beach community. This was truely a challenge with all of the new FEMA codes. We would recommend using James Wentling/Architect.

I have the Greenfield home you designed. I love the floorplan. We have been in our home for 10 years now and I'm glad I used this house plan from you.

I have worked with the Firm of JAMES WENTLING/ARCHITECT for over a decade now. This is because in every way they meet my expectations, I am very involved in the process, the plans I receive at the end of the process are accurate, function and creative and in this are en excellent value when applied to my design developement and working plan budget. What is significant in an accurtate and functional set of plans is that I recived excellent bids from the subcontractors because they know exctly what they are providing and not guessing or filling in the blanks [$ $ $] and once in construction there are very few changes [$ $ $]. What is significant about the "functional" is the fact that once built the house "Works" everything necessary is planned out, the interior is pleasant, the kitchen laid out well, all the systems have their place, the exterior is well balanced and appealing, there is a distinct architectual "story" in the street view, not a mix and match from various periods in time because aspects are "trendy." The Arcitecture is classic and representative of a particular period. In addition to this the homes are designed and specified to be energy efficient with upto date materials and drawing details to achieve enrgy efficiency. Jim is there 100% of the way. He is always concerned with your budget, so he is not delivering a "gold" set of plans when you only have "brass" in your pocket. Jim and his associates are ultimately professional, and Jim is ultmately a wealth of knowledge and a really great individual as well. It is always a pleasure to work with him and his firm.

I've known Jim's work and reputation for over 20 years, from when he designed an apartment campus for a close business associate. When my family and I moved to Davidson, NC; we chose to live in McConnell, an early generation neotraditional neighborhood designed by Jim and his firm. Jim modified the design of our house to include a wrap around porch and circular drive to the detached garage on our corner lot, which was adjacent to the McConnell Green. (Our porch is one of the images used on the James Wentling Architects website profile of McConnell at Davidson.) We no longer live in North Carolina, but we truly enjoyed the house and neighborhood. I've remained in touch with Jim, who has provided residential design consulting services to our firm. Jim is a talented designer who understances the nuances of residential planning and design, knows how to translate an Owner's goals, budget and schedule into a successful project and is a genuinely nice person to work with. I would highly recommend Jim Wentling.

We engaged Jim to design our dream home. We told him what we were looking for and he delivered what we love to call home. He met all our deadlines and the cost was very reasonable. He designed an efficient house to build (contractors had no problem reading his plans) without sacrificing design. Since moving in, we have had many compliments on the look, feel and flow of the home. We highly recommend Jim and his firm.
