Jeannette Architects

The very best decision my husband and I made was hiring Jeannette Architects for my whole home remodel. We worked directly with the very talented and creative duo Jeff Jeannette and Stefanie Haering. They helped us discover all of the potential our home had to give and provided many options to create space and functionality that we had not considered. From start to finish, Jeannette Architects listened to us and provided suggestions and plans that reflected our best hopes and needs. I always felt informed and respected. Our project moved forward throughly and quickly, especially considering the technical work that was required to rebuild every aspect of my home. My husband and I are so grateful that Stefanie and Jeff helped us throughout the entire project and even all through construction. I felt supported, I could always ask questions and get accurate, timely answers on even the smallest details. Jeannette would routinely check in on us as the work progressed and celebrated with us on the day we got to move back in. Jeannette Architects designed a beautiful home organized for utility. They created a new floor plan that flows elegantly, is functional and spacious for the homeowners with a sophistication that welcomes friends and family. They were extremely creative with a window plan that maximized the outdoor and indoor symmetry and welcomed natural light throughout my home. Stefanie was an absolute genius in how she found room in my floor plan to expand the primary bath. She added features like a wet room, which allows me to live like a spa queen. I have already recommended them to friends and family. Because of Jeannette Architects, our home is reborn for longevity, enjoyment and to preserve as a family asset.

We had a good experience with Jeannette Architects and a great experience when we were working directly with Jeff. The only reason the rating is 4/5 stars is that our initial project manager underperformed and Jeff and a more senior person had to rescue us. They did so happily and we ended up with a great outcome. We relied on Jeannette's experience with contractors to guide bidding and GC selection. Jeff checked-in regularly throughout construction and we would work with him and the firm again without hesitation.

We reached out to JEANNETTE because we were referred personally to them from previous clients! They had wonderful things to say and so do we: Jeff and his whole team are very professional and completely capable of taking on our project. We had a 1923 Spanish bungalow 2/1 on a very tight lot. We wanted to keep the Spanish style but completely remodel and add on a bed and a bath.. Charlene along with us worked through all the tight tolerances and set backs. We got exactly what we sought after: a completely remodeled 3/2 … throughout the project they reached out to offer advice and checked in on our progress. We had to make city changes in the 11th hour and they were on in to keep the project flowing. We very pleased and would highly recommend JEANNETTE and his team @ Jeannette Architects !

It was a fantastic ride working with Jeff @ Jeannette Architects for the past couple of years from conception to realization. His professionalism, combined with his heart and passion for designing a forever home for us, will never be forgotten. Jeff would take the time to listen to us, spend time to help us understand if there was ever a difference in opinion, and encourage us to think through design complexities when our patience outran our passion. His expertise weaved our budget and desires into a lovely pattern of thoughtful functionality. He paused when we rushed, and he rushed when we paused, thereby creating the symbiotic balance of a creator and consumer, leaving us with beautiful memories to cherish forever. The organizational details and thoroughness of his record keeping and note taking took us to a whole other level of satisfied completion of the project. Jeff was asked to step in when we wanted a second opinion during the construction phase, and he never shied away from letting his thoughts shine through. His after-construction visit to the site for a final walkthrough was so valuable that we would have missed out on details that no one otherwise would have thought of or cared for. It is rare to find talent, and heart together in the potpourri of passionate service these days. Jeannette Architects gets two thumbs up from us. Jeff helped us realize a forever home that was so long embedded in our dreams. 4 stars for the maestro only because five stars would not give him any room to grow, and we know in our minds and hearts that the sky is not even the limit for you, Jeff!

Friends recommended Jeff Jeannette to us, and we’re very happy we decided to have him design our accessory dwelling unit. From the first visit, he listened to our ideas and understood what we wanted. He never tried to shoehorn us into a preconceived plan. He came back with preliminary sketches and options that clearly helped us see what would work best for us. In addition to his skills as an architect, his knowledge of the city’s ADU process was invaluable in ensuring that the project would be approved quickly. Jeff’s team also was great in walking us through what we would need to do to in terms of fees & permits to get the project off the ground. Everything proceeded in a timely, professional way. When it came to the plans themselves, the level of detail was extremely helpful to us—and the contractor and subs—in seeing that construction was carried out as we wanted it to be. Jeff also recommended a great interior design company to us and they were a tremendous asset in turning our vision into a reality. Jeff and his team were there to answer our questions any time and checked in regularly to see how the project was progressing. We’re more than delighted with how the ADU turned out. In short, Jeannette Architects was great to work with and we’d happily recommend the team for any project.

Jeff has a great eye for detail and is very communicative/responsive. He worked exceptionally well with our contractor. Just an overall talented and extremely nice person. We had to navigate many challenges during Covid on our project and Jeff really stepped up and was helpful in numerous ways. Under the best of circumstances a remodel is stressful and we truly appreciated Jeff's expertise and kindness. We are thrilled with our home.

We had met with a few design-to-build contractors and architects prior to meeting with Jeff and the Jeannette Architects team, however, at the first meeting we knew we could trust JA to design our forever home. Jeff was so knowledgeable and we were blown away by his expertise. We had a general idea of what we wanted and right away Jeff understood us and laid out plans better than we ever imagined. The JA team was always helpful and great communicators. They listened to our concerns and incorporated all our needs into the concept of our home. Because of COVID we put our project on hold for a bit, however, when we were ready to pick back up, JA did not missed a beat. We are absolutely in love with our beautiful home and thank Jeff and the JA team for making our dream home come to life.

We enjoyed working with Jeff and his team. Jeff took the time to listen and understand our needs and wants. He did a great job at asking clarifying questions for clarity. His team was also very helpful throughout the process. Making sure they communicated what we could expect next. Jeff made himself available during the construction phase as well, and was helpful with pointing out some things we hadn’t thought of. Overall we are extremely happy to have worked with Jeff and his team for our home remodel. They exceeded our expectations!

Thankful to Jeff and Roy for coming up with a beautiful design of our Spanish 1920s home exterior. It was renovated with a mansard roof and we hoped they could reinvision what it might have looked like originally. Very happy with the outcome! We especially love the new enlarged patio that makes up for the lack of a backyard. Jeff and Roy were always available to answer questions. Highly recommend Jeanette Architects for your design needs!

We are absolutely thrilled with our remodel! Our experience with Jeff Jeannette has been 100% positive. When we first sat down with Jeff in our living room, we felt understood and accepted. Our home is modest and our style is quiet, and he totally "got" what we wanted. We love the final result! We've adjusted immediately to the new flow because the addition feels like it has always been here. It looks beautiful, but it also feels like the original 1940 house, which is what we wanted. We get so many compliments from our neighbors, who love how the house looks from the street. Because of our soil, we had structural problems that were more than challenging, and the Covid lockdown happened just as we were starting work. Jeff and his staff were incredibly kind, supportive, and attentive during this terrible time. He was reassuring, patient, and positive, and he walked us through every challenge. His knowledge and experience with the City were invaluable as we navigated several challenges on that front. He offered solid referral choices for every professional we needed (survey, structural, contracting), and he worked effectively with the professionals we chose. I honestly believe I had the world's best team behind me! Because of Covid and our structural challenges, construction took longer than we anticipated, but Jeff stuck with us throughout, long after the architectural plans were finalized. We absolutely recommend Jeff Jeannette!

The team at Jeannette Architects was really helpful through our entire process. We decided to go with JA because they specialized in residential remodels, and that’s the expertise we got. They were responsive, thorough, detailed oriented, and really open to hearing our thoughts and taking it all into consideration. We love our new home, and the space is both beautiful and much more functional than before. Our entire process ended up being really smooth, and we know great plans and prep work made that all possible.

We had a great experience with Jeannette Architects from start to finish. Jeff and his team were extremely professional, knowledgeable, and responsive. Throughout our project, we felt as if our needs were consistently met and what few concerns came up were addressed immediately. Highly recommend Jeff and his team if you value quality work and your sanity, we could not be happier.
