Interior Design in Napa

“Review of Jackie Mendez DesignWe needed design ideas, drawings, and recommendations for submitting plans for a permit to build and ADU in the basement of our house in the City of Napa. We were so fortunate to be referred to Jackie Mendez who has been exceptional in responding to our requirements and especially helping us navigate the rules and requirement for development within the City of Napa.Jackie worked in close collaboration with us, visited the site to take all necessary measurements, then drafting a plan that perfectly positioned the ADU within the available space. She was very responsive to all of the comments from the city planning and building departments, responding in the appropriate fashion to meet the requirements of the city departments.I would recommend her without hesitation for providing design and drafting support for any ADU project. The quality of her work was excellent, her availability was outstanding, and her fee was very reasonable for the amount of work performed.Michael and Madeline Rogers“

“I was looking for a high quality one stop shop for my extensive home remodel in Napa, CA. Being aware of the difficulties coordinating a design team and drawings with the actual builder, I wanted someone who could handle both seamlessly. JS Design Build was that company.I initially visited their website, which is elegantly designed and left a strong impression upon me with the work they have done. Then I reached out to Judy Schindler (the JS in the name!) and she promptly called me back. Our initial conversation was great, I could tell she knew how to both design the home I wanted and then build it. She was also very honest about the timeline from design to build, as well as the costs. She let me know right away what I was getting myself into, no surprises!The design phase was great. Judy is an excellent communicator and she knows how to extract the answers she needs out of you, a rare talent! Once the design was set, we moved in to the build phase. JS Design Build took care of everything including permits. The fact that they were the designer and builder allowed them to handle things quickly in the field as they popped up. When you demo an older home, surprises can pop up which then lead to design changes. This was the reason I wanted a design build firm to do my project.The communication was great throughout the entire process. Before construction began, Judy personally visited my neighbors and left them her contact info. My neighbors told me how nice she was and gave them all her number to call if there were any issues at all during the construction phase. Most contractors try to hide from your neighbors so that you can field the complaints instead of them.The construction phase went by as scheduled, with a lot of great communication and photos being sent to us. More importantly, JS Design Build made the process fun and enjoyable. Aside from her great eye for design, Judy has a charisma about her that puts you at ease and you just know that you are in great hands. Her company and all their employees are very professional and talented. The experience was first class. I hope I can buy another home one day just so I can have Judy re-design it.“
