We had Jim create plans for a new entry addition to our home. The end result was incredible, transforming a very plain cabin entry into a stunning, unique entry with a Scandinavian vibe. Not only is the exterior and interior design beautiful, but highly functional as well and very well thought out. I highly recommend Jim Nancekivell for any home renovation project.

My husband and I have sought Jim’s advice with multiple projects. His creative solutions, to difficult problems, have always improved the design details and often saved us money. I would love the opportunity to collaborate with Jim on a future project, should the opportunity present itself.

We wanted an addition that would complement the rest of our home. Jim carefully listened to our needs/wants and designed an addition that will work wonderfully for us. He incorporated ideas to use space efficiently yet not be crowded. Jim has extensive knowledge about design, materials, color palate, etc.... I cannot imagine going forward with our project without Jim’s expertise

My husband and I met with Jim to design a remodel of our kitchen, living, and dining area. He is a great listener and was able to select materials and finishes to create a design to fit our budget. I would highly recommend!

When we decided to do a complete renovation of our home in Novi, MI we hired Jim Nancekivell as our project manager. Honestly, we don't know how we could have completed this project without him. He was extremely professional and gave us confidence that our project would be done exactly the way we pictured it or even better. He was detail oriented and knowledgeable in all areas of design and materials. We have a hard time making decisions, and he had a lot of patience with us. He was very quality conscious and we trusted his judgement every step of the way. Hiring Jim was by far the best decision we could have ever made.

Jim did a phenomenal job for us! He designed the remodel from the beginning, picked all the materials for us to consider and worked with us to pick the footprint, materials and functionality that we thought best reflected our dream master bath. This project was further complicated by the fact that we tied into our Geothermal system to extend it to heating in the floor as well as a stand alone geothermal heating/cooling unit hidden in the closet. The design to accommodate this was quite complex. Jim worked hand in hand with our contractor to make sure everything fit in perfectly. We highly recommend Jim for his professionalism, creativity, and attention to our every detail.

Jim Nancekivell has impressed me since the day I met him. I have had numerous opportunities to see Jim in action and I cannot say enough positive things about his design expertise. As a Design/ Build firm owner it is great to see other professionals that truly impress and Jim is one of those people. I highly recommend working with Jim Nancekivell for your professional needs in design.

Jim was referred to us by a friend. He listened to our ideas and discussed his vision for a complete restructuring of our kitchen layout. He returned very quickly with several options for us to evaluate. We chose the one we thought was right for us and then executed the plan. His drawings were accurate and detailed. Our other contractors had no problem with his dimensions. It could not have been a better experience. The proof is when our friends rave about the transformation. It was money well spent. We would never have had the kitchen we have now without Jims creative designs.

Nancekivill home planning and design is a pleasure to work with. We have had very positive experiences working with Jim. We were thinking of changing some design feature of our kitchen; Jim provided fresh and creative ideas on innovative and updated finishes and colors, how to streamline the kitchen counter to hide appliances, as well as, better positioning of the Mircowave. Instead of remodeling the kitchen we are now thinking of building a small home. Nancekivell home planning and design will be top on our list for engaging a professional to help us with our planning and design. Jim and his team are enjoyable to work with and have creative ideas with cost in mind.

Jim did an excellent job giving our 1980 home a new attraction look. His ideas were great and he was a great listener.

Jim is an excellent home designer. He took the time to assess our needs and the scope of our desired remodeling project. He worked closely with our general contractor. Jim was able to show us options that were cost effective but accomplished our remodeling goals. I would highly recommend him for any home remodeling or new construction project.
