Jill Finn of Tangerine Designs is a creative professional. She develops designs for her clients to make the space work significantly better. She brings positive energy to all her clients and it is always a pleasure collaborating with her. Her clients love her as expected. We collaborated recently on a high-end Danville remodel and everything went flawlessly. The finished product matched her initial design well and the clients were very pleased with the results. I highly recommend Jill Finn of Tangerine Designs if you want a fun creative designer to work with. You will be very pleased with the result.

Comment from TANGERINEdesign, Jill C. Finn Assoc. AIA:

What a pleasure to work with Thomas from Eagle Peak Builders on this Danville home. The Master Bathroom & Family room were very dated, and my new designs required a Top–Notch Contractor to hone in on the details. Eagle Peak was the perfect fit! The project flowed effortlessly, even during the shelter–in–place, to the complete satisfaction of the Homeowners. When TANGERINEdesign has a project needing that extra touch, I recommend Eagle Peak Builders without hesitation!

Jill was my designer for a bathroom remodel. She was instrumental in working with the subcontractors in measuring and ensuring work was done correctly. She spent extra time working on the tile position in the shower. I don't know how this project would have ended up if it were not for Jill's expertise and design capabilities. I am so thankful for her advice, knowledge, and ability to design my waterfall theme shower. My bathroom is lovely and I owe it to Jill. Thank you so much.

Happy to have been a part of this exciting project, and so glad you're getting the steam shower of your dreams! Communicating, directing and working with the many subcontractors involved is what puts TANGERINEdesign above the status quo. One has to talk the talk in order to walk the walk!!

Fantastic! This was a VERY tricky design project where we needed to get very creative with how to make 2 undersized and poorly planned bathrooms not only big enough and functional enough, but also do so while optimizing the other spaces they touched. Jill was exactly the right person for this job - we ultimately saved a ton, and she did what no other desing-build folks would do, which was COME to the house and look at the space, then actually put some options down on paper before we went forward with thousands on architectural drawings. Which was KEY given we couldn't even ENVISION how it would work. She came up with EXCELLENT options, listened to our feedback and suggestions, and was super responsive. The project is on hold for now due to other conflicts, but we would definitely use Jill again!

Comment from TANGERINEdesign, Jill C. Finn Assoc. AIA:

This was a VERY tricky and particular layout that needed some out-of-the-box thinking to incorporate all your needs and wants. Designing for function takes more then designing a style. TANGERINEdesign focuses on function, since you can always dress up a space. Hope this project sees the light of day, because I know it will be GREAT!!

Jill was amazing! We bought a 1930’s house with character that we loved but it lacked in function (no dishwasher!). Jill provided multiple design options both utilizing the existing footprint and pushing the boundaries by recommending a completely new first floor layout to improve the function. She gave realistic timelines about what to expect with the remodel, provided resources to help with permitting, and recommendations for suppliers and contractors. It’s still a work in progress, and I can’t wait to see the final result! I’m so happy we met with a Jill- I never would have come up with these great ideas on my own!

Comment from TANGERINEdesign, Jill C. Finn Assoc. AIA:

Designing your remodel was a joy! Not only is the house a treasure of history, you were open to suggestions that at first may have seemed far-fetched, but now you're getting MORE than you thought possible, and that's great! I know there's value in giving homeowners insight to the entire process, not just the 'fun' part, as the true reality includes everything. Glad you're into the next phase and excited to see the fully-functioning space when completed!

I work for Duro Design, a cork flooring manufacturer and called Jill one day to promote cork flooring. I was amazed how much experience she possessed and how knowledgeable she was about residential project, highly recommended if anyone wants to start their next Reno project.

I needed help in learning about what would be involved in planning and sorting up an interior remodel. Jill Finn did the perfect job. She gave me a complete run-down on what I would be looking at in terms of scope and pricing. She explained how she can help me going forward, if I choose to do so. There were helpful handouts that covered everything we talked about and even many areas that I hadn't thought about. She is a complete professional. She was doing everything to inform me; she was not there to sell me. What I contracted for was a two hour consultation. She communicated ahead of time with me about what to expect and was on time for our consult. The printed material were a bonus that I wasn't expecting, and they will be very helpful.

We hired Jill to advise us on converting our existing loft into two bedrooms. We really had no idea what was possible with the space or where to start with codes, permits and contractors. Jill provided an initial consultation which was enormously helpful and provided us with a wealth of information on all of the questions we had. On the back of that, she drew up the floor plans that we were able to show to potential contractors and also submitted to the city for our design review. Since then she has responded to our many, many questions and has been enormously helpful throughout this entire process.

I received a consultation but have not hired them yet

Jill was highly recommended by a friend who helped remodeled her kitchen. We were very impressed with her vast knowledge and really great ideas to remodel our kitchen that we have never thought about. She also design other living spaces. We also had consultation with our family room. During the initial consultation, she gave us very valuable tips to save money and hiring a good contractor. She is very easy to work with and not pushy. We highly recommend her!

I received a Skype consultation

I needed to take down a wall between the kitchen and dining room. We easily set up a Skype session. I was asked many questions about what I needed and how I planned to use the space. I was given several recommendations based on style and cost. Jill is an excellent listener and and is very responsive and professional.

Just needed a consultation on how to proceed with contractor hired..

Jill is great! She was kind enough to fit us in to her schedule for a consultation since we were desperate for her advice and needed help fast. Unfortunately we had already signed a contract with a local company for our remodel project and we had problems from the start. During our two hour consultation, Jill gave us tips on how to proceed with our contractor. She also gave us advice on colors and on our bathroom layout. We were given some useful handouts which included a list of recommended local resources, contractors and examples of what different jobs cost on average in the Bay Area. We were very grateful for her advice and certainly wished we would have found her sooner! Don't hesitate to call her, but do it BEFORE you hire anyone else or start your project. It will be money well spent.

As a fellow designer, I've had the opportunity to work with Tangerine Designs on several occasions. What I'm most grateful about their services is the way Jill sets realistic expectations with clients right from the start. Although designing, redesigning, remodeling often begins with inspiration, designing, permitting, and construction all take considerable amounts of time, energy, and financial commitment. Jill recognizes the importance of educating her clients so that they can make good aesthetic, functional, and financial decisions, including asking such questions as, "have you budgeted for having to rent another place during the remodel." When realistic expectations as set, both the designer and client can move forward confidently, knowing what to expect and how much things are going to cost. Thank you Jill for your high level of service and integrity!

We're going to be selling our home soon and we needed information on both interior and exterior improvements in order to put our home on the market. We contacted TANGERINEdesign through the internet and decided to take advantage of their expertise. We were more than pleased with the suggested improvements that fell within the range of our budget.
