I spoke with Jeff about designing an addition to our home and he was extremely helpful. Jeff took the time to talk to me about the details of the project and potential solutions. He was very thorough and his expertise were obvious. Due to some setbacks in the project, I was unable to hire Jeff during our first call. If the project goes through, Jeff will be the first person I call to hire to design our addition. I highly recommend discussing the design to any of your projects with Jeff before pursuing!

Jeff is true to his word and his guarantee is the real deal! He designs on a budget and creates the most value out of a space as possible. I work in the industry in Traverse City and I can attest to his dedication, passion, and straightforward approach to designing a home on a budget. When it comes to designing your dream home and making sure the dollars go to the correct places, I haven't seen any better! A+
