We had a good experience with Jeannette Architects and a great experience when we were working directly with Jeff. The only reason the rating is 4/5 stars is that our initial project manager underperformed and Jeff and a more senior person had to rescue us. They did so happily and we ended up with a great outcome. We relied on Jeannette's experience with contractors to guide bidding and GC selection. Jeff checked-in regularly throughout construction and we would work with him and the firm again without hesitation.

We used Jeff when he first started out about 13 years ago. We really liked his work and style so we called again for our phase 2 (kitchen and living space). He and his team were really good at listening to our needs and making recommendations based on their knowledge. We are really happy with the outcome.

We hired Jeff and his team to design a complete remodel of our home in Seal Beach. Our initial consultation was with Jeff on site and walked the property and he gave us a run down of the process. Unlike most architects Jeff will give you a detailed breakdown of the entire timeline from conception to plan completion as well as transparent pricing. Throughout the design process which took approximately 11 months we met multiple times and working together were able to design our custom home. Additionally out project manager Laura was extremely responsive and helped troubleshoot any problems that arose. We were able to get city approval without too much difficulty and they were available throughout construction as needed. Overall we are extremely happy with the finished product and would recommend Jeanette Architects for any remodel or custom home project.

We first met with Jeff Jeannette, & Danielle Zunzunegui, on June 28, 2018, to discuss what we felt was our dream home. We decided to remodel our home after living in it for over two years. We had done a major remold to our previous home without the aid of an architect. However being new to Long Beach area we were overwhelmed and the Jeannette Architect was highly recommended by several friends and acquaintances. We were very impressed after our first meeting with Jeff and Danielle on how they listened to our ideas of what we wanted our home to look like and on our needs for now and into the future. Jeff “got” our vision and he was able to quickly put a preliminary plan on paper. Between the both of them they managed to design a clear plan that met our and desires. They explained clearly that the architectural process which included several meeting and design changes. They also included service to assist in recommending contractors, appliance distributor, construction supervision, and that they would follow through from the beginning to the end of our project. Their knowledge of construction and ever changing City and FEMA requirements was exceptional. Jeff and Danielle worked closely with our contractor and held him to their high standards. They worked out a time line and budget for our project and with their assistance we managed to stay within the time frame and budget. We met Jeff and Danielle for about one year before we even started our project. We developed a family friendly, respectful, and professional relationship with the Jeanette Architectural team. Jeff and Danielle were our closes contacts but there whole team was just as supportive and friendly. We appreciate all that they have achieved for us and recommend them highly.

This is a long overdue review for Jeannette Architects, who 10 years ago completely redesigned our craftsman bungalow in Long Beach (Belmont Heights). During the 7-month project, we had one baby in diapers and another one on the way...probably not the best time to do a whole-house remodel. We charged ahead anyway. And even though there were stressful moments, those moments were always moderated by the calm stewardship of Jeff, his wife and business partner Roberta, and the rest of the Jeannette team. They knew what they were doing, and we clearly understood we were in good hands. The positive impression developed quickly, in our first meeting with Jeff, when he carefully listened to our thoughts and then sketched several design options he thought would work for us. These on-the-spot sketches were super detailed and creative, and one of them ultimately served as the basis for our remodel. To us, what makes Jeff so good at what he does is that he is an excellent communicator as well as a great architect. As a result, he is able to talk to you, pull from your words an optimal project vision, and then carefully put that vision into an official plan. Jeff and the rest of Jeannette Architects gave us a house that we love, and for that we are eternally grateful. We are not alone in these feelings; most of our neighbors who have renovated their homes have used Jeannette Architects, and all of them, like us, sing loudly their praise. I can't recommend more highly this company.
