Zimmerman and Associates

We broke ground today on a custom spec house designed by Jeff Zimmerman and his talented protege, Austin Montanari. We can't overstate how absolutely delighted we are. It's been a pleasure to work with this very creative and highly professional team. Under Jeff's leadership, we benefited from a blend of skills rarely encountered with talented architects. Jeff blends an artful and skillful eye with a nose for business, enabling his visions to become a reality and within budget. Thank you for your patience and care throughout this process. Now let's go watch this modern masterpiece get built :)

We regard Zimmerman & Associates as the preeminent modern residential architects in California wine country and their work on our Napa project totally proves it! Their team is a delight to work with; great concepts, flexible, cutting-edge design and graphics skills, responsive.

To anyone searching for a qualified and talented architect, I highly recommend Jeff Zimmerman of Zimmerman and Associates. I had the pleasure of working with Jeff recently on a very complicated transaction involving out of area buyers, and multiple parcels with multiple sellers. His perseverance, professionalism, and creativity were paramount in overcoming obstacles, and giving the clients exactly what they wanted. The clients came to me with a very clear vision of building their dream home in Sonoma Valley, and Jeff was the perfect choice to bring into the project. Not only are his architectural designs beautiful and well thought out, but he also has a warm demeanor that makes him a pleasure to work with. The buyers agreed, and we worked closely from the beginning, assessing an attractive but challenging site, and dealing with the county, tradesmen, and sellers on various issues. His knowledge and confidence kept the new owners from feeling overwhelmed by the details and enthusiastic about the outcome. As a realtor in Northern California’s wine country, helping clients create the lifestyle they envision for themselves is one of the most rewarding parts of my job. Having an amazing architect like Jeff Zimmerman on my team is a huge asset, and makes the difference between an elated client and a relationship that falls flat. The purchase transaction is now complete, and Jeff is currently in the final design phase of creating two gorgeous estate residences on a lovely view parcel on the western edge of Sonoma Valley. Building can be a positive experience with a skilled architect that can translate your ideas into reality. I have no doubts you will be exceptionally pleased if you hire Jeff. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me. Sincerely, Terry Crisler Sotheby’s International Realty Wine Country Branch, Sonoma California 707-509-9533 terry.crisler@yahoo.com

Jeff Zimmerman had designed an earlier project for me in Evergreen, Colorado so, when the time came for my wife and I to build our dream house, we immediately thought of him. We considered local architects as well but decided we'd opt for a more contempo firm and he provided us with an amazing design, on a very tough site, that met our spacial, budgetary and artistic needs. We would not hesitate to engage him again and have also forged a personal relationship that has endured for years.

I am a general contractor that has worked with Jeff Zimmerman of Zimmerman and Associates in the past and I can honestly say that he and his firm are great to work with. Jeff seems to always meet the clients vision and expectations and as a contractor I respect the fact that he approaches the job from a "Team" approach with all parties having a common vision for a successful project.

I'm a General Contractor who has worked with Jeff and his firm on multiple projects. Jeff's ability to listen to a clients ideas and wishes and to incorporate those into a design that falls into the clients budget and schedule is exemplary. He believes in the "Team" approach where designer, builder and owner work together to achieve the desired goals. As such the entire project becomes an organized and enjoyable experience for all involved. I would highly recommend Jeff and his firm for any project you may be thinking of doing.
