Decided to visit their showroom to look at their work and consider them as a candidate for a major 3 phase remodeling project we are undertaking. The showroom has lots of ideas and areas specifically for planning, so we were happy when one if the staff came out and asked if they could take our information. Received a call from Jim Groen an Architect Jackson and he spend an exceptional amount of time discussing option for our project.
We appreciated the professionalism shown to earn our business. We will definitely consider Jackson design when we proceed with our project. We encourage anyone considering a home renovation or addition to make an appointment to see their showroom or drop by.

My wife and I bought a home last year and everything but the kitchen was great so we decided to remodel. After speaking with various local companies we decided to work with Jackson Design because of the attention to detail they gave us. Communication is fluid and honest, and our experience has been very personalized and realistic. A true partner throughout the entire process and now our kitchen is exactly what we envisioned.

I spent over $300,000 with this company. Almost a full home remodel. I personally believe that I was overly patient and respectful. Design was decent. Project manager was repeatedly unresponsive. Project completion date was at least 5 months over the original estimation. Reaction time to numerous issues was unacceptable and typically took weeks/months and multiple follow up, requests and escalation. Electrical issues lasted for more than a year and a half to resolve. The owner was verbally insulting. I would never recommend this company to anyone. Perhaps they cannot handle larger jobs?

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.
