JS Design + Build

I highly recommend Judy and her team. She did a tremendous job remodeling the bathrooms in our Napa County home.
She took us from a one full, one half bath to two fulls and one half bath — remodeling two bathrooms and adding a half. Throughout the process Judy was an incredible communicator.
We first met at the house where we talked through our goals, style and potential design ideas. She provided quotes and — once agreed on a scope — managed much of the process digitally, making the process very seamless for us. Judy took in our Pinterest design ideas and used them to help in her designs.
When we first had concerns with code compliance, Judy took the time to visit the County, getting written assurance that the plans would pass code.
I trusted Judy so much that over the three month process we relied solely on her pictures and email updates to keep apprised throughout the process.
While there were some hiccups along the way — everything from a former builder using OJ boxes for ducting to surprise rot — Judy kept up the proactive communication and helped us along the way.
The end result is incredible, and Judy’s attention to detail shines through. Everything from perfectly aligned subway tile to little things like motion sensitive lights help to make our bathrooms a space to admire.
I will definitely use Judy and team for our next remodel.

Judy and her team remodeled the bonus room in our home and did a fabulous job. They are a pleasure to work with, and are detail-​oriented. We are extremely pleased with the results, and it has changed the way we live in our home. We would like to hire her company again to redesign a different part of our home!

I love my new kitchen. It is my favorite room in the house. The team at JS Design were professional and smart. They helped us with our ideas, zoned in on what we wanted, what would fit and what would look great in our Napa home. They were professional and kind. I enjoyed having them here in my home doing their work. I have recommended her and her team to several people already. Did I mention I love my kitchen.

I can’t recommend Judy and her team enough. Our project was a second home, with a restricted budget. She has been fun to work with, with a positive, problem-​solving attitude, lots of great ideas, and comfort with our choices when they differed from her suggestions. She listened carefully, and really used our tastes in the design. Of her many great qualities, I’d say that her design eye, problem-​shoving ability, and the superb craftsmen she employs are high points-​as well as being great fun to work with.
She and her team were organized, on-​time and on-​budget. The construction and finish work are exquisite. Her and her team’s finest moment occurred at the outset, though, when a water main was discovered in a location completely different than was indicated in the blueprints. I despaired, it looked like the linchpin of the remodel was impossible, but she just said «don’t worry, we’ll figure this out», and called me back within an hour with the solution. She appreciates her team, too-​very important.
Every time I walk into our gorgeous home, I thank Judy. You should see what she did for us!

I emailed pictures and details to Judy Schindler last summer and inquired about the possibility of her doing our kitchen design/​build project. After a phone conversation, we scheduled a preliminary meeting. Before that meeting occurred, she called to say she was too busy and couldn’t meet with us until December. Because of her good reviews online, we agreed to wait. Our meeting was scheduled for today, December 5^th. When Judy did not show up for the meeting, I called her to see whether there had been a misunderstanding. She said, «I’m going to do something really scuzzy… I’m going to bail on you.» She apologized but said she didn’t want to drive all the way to Santa Rosa and back to work on our project. One star.
Follow up the next day: Judy called me with references to a designer and general contractor in Santa Rosa, emailed their details to me and emailed my information, including my kitchen pictures, to the designer and general contractor. She also apologized again. She gets a second star from me for the follow up.

Judy and her team of people are very professional and organized. I would recommend them to anyone that is considering design services and remodeling.

Judy and her team are amazing! They remodeled the master bathroom of our home in Napa last May (2012), and did an excellent job. They did both the design plus the construction, and we are very pleased with the results. They worked within our budget as best they could, and were responsive to our requests throughout the process. They are fair and professional in every aspect of their business. Highly recommended!

Judy is one of the most brilliant persons I have ever worked. I had her work on my house in Napa and then on my apartment in San Francisco. She did a great job with my kitchen and did the job at a price I was very comfortable with… Very attentive and makes sure the job is done right!
