Hired Jamie back in 2012-2013 for our remodel. Great job with the blueprints, design and renders. House is holding up nicely!

Jamie was the architect for the complete rebuild of our house. From the very beginning, he and his staff were responsive, pleasant and professional to work with. They were also patient with the changing nature of the project and its iterations. I had been worried about getting the permit and plan approval, as I'd heard that can cause delays and hassle, but they made that process very expeditious. We feel lucky now to be living in a beautiful, light-filled house designed just for our family.

I hired Jamie last year for a remodel where I was partitioning a new bedroom in my condo. His cost was very reasonable and he was just easy to work with. You immediately get a sense that he's a good trustworthy guy that's great at what he does running a small business. After using Jamie's services, my contractor had a screw up which required immediate response from Jamie, and Jamie was kind enough to update some blueprints with corrected info from contractor on a Saturday, so construction can complete in time for inspection. Great work ethic and customer service. I would definitely

My initial phone call to Jamie B Myer Architects was good. The phone was answered by someone on his staff and he, accordingly asked me some questions about my property: what it was I needed done, and my contact information and I received a prompt call back from Jamie later that day... So far so good. Jamie asked me to briefly describe what I wanted done and with very little information, declined the job. I was disappointed and a little confused that he could make such a rash decision with little to no information, when I asked him if he would meet me at the property to see it and do a more accurate

Iam a local Los Angeles realtor and Jamie designed 2 homes that I recently had the pleasure of selling. Jamie was proactive and a pleasure to work with. His work was very well received by buyers in two high end locations which made my job so much easier. During negotiations I asked Jamie to draft up a quick sketch of a guest unit/studio for one of the projects. I fully expected to pay him for his time but he offered to do it for free in order to help me sell the house. He also had the sketch ready within a day. I could not be any happier with his services.
