Testimonial #1
My husband and I found us in a situation with our 50-year-old
bathroom.  It had a small hole in the floor, and when we were able
to investigate it further, we found it to be a HUGE hole, which
needed to be taken care of immediately.  We were planning on
remodeling the bathroom in about 2 years, but because of this
problem, we decided to get it done at the same time as fixing the
hole in the floor.  

I had known Jackie for the past year.  We happened to be talking
one day about our hole in the floor.  I was making a joke about
being the first “tub hill racer”, as I pictured myself taking a bath,
falling through the floor, and racing down the hillside.  She started
to ask me questions about the bathroom.  And I then realized I
wanted to hire her to take a look and give me some
recommendations.  
recommendations.  
recommendations.  

So Jackie came over, took a look, asked a lot of questions about
what we wanted to do, and then started making some suggestions
about things we never even thought about.  For example, it had
never occurred to us to consider putting in grab rails in the tub area
for when we get older.  She explained how to reinforce the walls
now so we can eventually put those in when we will need them.  
She suggested alternative door ideas for the bathroom so we could
then have more cabinet space in our small bathroom.  Those are
just two ideas she suggested, there were many more.

My husband and I love to remodel together, and we have great
ideas of our own. We were not quite sure about our ideas on tile
size and shape in our bathroom, and how to accomplish what we
were looking for. Jackie ended up changing our thoughts on what to
do with tile design.  And I was so glad to finally get a clear
direction on that issue, especially since tile is one of the more
expensive issues we faced in the design.

Jackie also keeps herself up to date on the latest fixtures needed
for the bathroom.  After our initial consultation, she met with us
again and told us where we could get the fixtures we would like to
purchase for our bathroom.  That cut down on quite of bit of time
and energy for us, as we both work and are unable to do the
research ourselves.  

We would highly recommend Jackie to anyone who would like a
consult on a bathroom.  I understand she also does kitchens, as
well as other areas in the house, and specializes in barrier free
designs.  She is very sharp, has a great eye for detail, and can
guide you into making wise decisions about rooms you would like to
remodel in your home.

Thank you Jackie for all your great ideas!  We will send you a
picture when we finish the work.

Thank you for your prompt response to my recent request for some
ADA design help.  I was asked to remodel a bathroom for a client
with one leg and your advice on grab bar locations and sizes helped
accomplish that.
