We have been living in our home for over 8 months after a complete remodel of a 1970s home into a modern contemprorary home with aview of a balanced indoor outdoor living space. JDR's team of professionals delivers on the vision, the process and completion with the utmost professionalism, friendly staff, and continued support long after the project was complete. Thank you JDR!

Just got off the phone with them - just an FYI they told me right off the bat without knowing anything about the size or scope of my kitchen that their kitchen remodel work starts at a minimum of 75K so if your budget or scope is below that no need to check this company out. Their Houzz price range & averages are way off/inaccurate from that so don't trust that either. At least the woman was honest and I didn't waste time going into the showroom.

We could not be more happy with our kitchen remodel. From our very first interaction in the early concept and planning stages thru the last finishing touches, we had a very positive experience. Our collaboration with the JDR team was very interactive, they listened to ideas and visions and then assisted in finding practical solutions. The professionalism and quality of their services is outstanding - from the design through the material selection and actual construction, we always felt that in JDR we had a partner who was looking our for us and ready to go above and beyond to ensure we were satisfied

Jackson & Design built our Casita in the backyard They did a phenomenal job! It was a slow process to start with permits and all (why the 4 star), but when they saw the frustration my husband and I had, they held a meeting with the city, included us in it, and our work finally got started. When they started, there were workers there everyday, non-stop. It was built so quick, I couldn't believe. We will use them again for future remodeling needs because they are dependable.

I did an extensive condo remodel. Needed a designer to improve the small space kitchen for 2 people and flow and added a 3rd floor office, library, & exercise area loft within the vaulted ceiling area among other improvements. It was a difficult job with limited common area parking & need for trash removal. Hired JDR as heard they were excellent in small space design & construction. I was not disappointed! Pamela is an outstanding designer along with her assistant Jennifer who changed drawings while we were meeting so we could see them on paper rather than wait and have another meeting or call
