Lincoln's Experienced and Quality Driven Residential Design Firm

Jennie Leigh Jones Designs is a Residential & Small Business Building DESIGN specialist, with a 30+ year track record and portfolio full of hundreds of delighted clients who appreciate an enthusiastic focus to their custom needs & desires. WHO YOU ARE, WHO WE ARE, AND HOW WE CAN WORK TOGETHER: Our typical Design Clientele tends to be families, builders and small businesses who need very customized design services, but whose budgets do not quite allow for a state licensed architect. Our Residential Building Design services fill an industry void between that of a basic draftsman and an architectural firm - in detail and cost; and we pride ourselves on distinguishing our personalized & targeted services and pricing from those of Architects, who might actually be more than you really need. We feel, the systems we have developed over the last 3 decades set us apart from others in our industry: We delight in catering to the needs, wants, lifestyles & budgets of clients across all income brackets & places/stages in life. We create custom construction drawings and a multitude of color 3D renderings to help you "See" your project before the first wall is demo'd or nail hammered. We can help you plan "phased construction" so that you have a Master Plan for your ultimate needs & dreams, but a "Plan of Action" that can be broken up into stages that suit your budget, lifestyle and current living needs. The goal in these Master Plans is that you have the "end result" on paper ... so everything you do (regardless of the phasing that might take place) is headed in the right direction. Every job is custom and personal to us - because every family's needs is unique. And we "get" that. And we LOVE that! Jennie Leigh Massey Jones 205.296.4357 jennie@drawing-girl.com

Jennie Leigh is a true professional but is also super easy to talk to. She broke everything down in a way that I could understand and provided multiple options for me to consider when I was unsure. She surpassed our expectations and truly helped guide us during our renovation as she is familiar with both design and the construction process. 10/10 would invite to dinner!

As I’ve seen old walls torn down and new walls put up in my small remodel, it is apparent that Jennie is a great listener, who really understands what her clients are trying to do with their projects. In my experience, Jennie fully explained anything that I may have had a question about, helping me reach the right decision on my project. She considers, both flow and function in her designs. She is a great person, and some one who really enjoys her work!!

Awe! Thank you so much! I am seriously eager to see this transformed space! I know it is going to serve your parents WELL!

Brenda Shaw

Jennie is a true creative! She designed a remodel for me and presented numerous options that I would have never dreamed up myself. The process was smooth, her responses timely and her enthusiasm contagious. The final product exceeded my expectations. You will not regret working with Jennie Leigh Jones Design.

Jennie did a great job designing our house plans! I’m excited to begin building our new home. She took time to discuss with us what we were looking for and she drew just what we asked of her! Thank you Jennie.

My husband and I were pleased with our overall experience with Jennie. She was able to listen attentively to our ideas and design our forever family home. Jennie was patient, insightful, and receptive to our input and suggestions throughout the whole process. She is extremely talented but most of all an absolute joy to work with.

Comment from Jennie Leigh Jones Design:

Thank you so much for your kind words! It has been FUN! And guess what? It's going to be MORE fun as you see it come to life!!!

OH! And guess what else? I used images from your project (kitchen and bath) today in a presentation I did ... and Boy did the WOW's and WOAH's echo when they flashed thru! :) I think everyone loved it! :)

We were looking for a professional person to help design our vision. Jennie was awesome to work with. We found her to be professional, personable, and very knowledge in design. We highly recommend Jennie.

GC Construction Group, LLC

Jennie is an awesome designer. She provided us with a beautiful floor plan for one of our best selling homes. Love working with her. She will definitely go above and beyond for any of your project needs.

Our house burned to the ground, so Jennie had to completely start from scratch to design our house, the way it WAS, from the ground up. What a challenge! She was an excellent listener and seemed to be able to take my words, envisage them, and put them to paper. We are over the moon with her work. In the end, I asked her to make some changes to it from my imagination, and she grasped what I wanted immediately. Beautiful job. She was so patient and made sure that we had plenty of time to look at her drawings and change things as we thought of them. She has a really good personality and is funny and patient, which helped me so much in my traumatic situation. I highly recommend her work.

My husband and I moved into the house I grew up in and I wanted to see what could be done with this diamond in the rough. We are so thankful we found Jennie! She brought my vision to life in the potential I saw in my childhood home. Jennie provided us with 3 beautiful designs of the inside as well as 2 outside designs. My mouth literally dropped when I saw the renderings. All inside and outside renderings were spectacular options and we really had a hard time choosing which to go with. She put ideas on paper that we had never thought of before to make this house the best it could be. We will be forever grateful for Jennie!

Aweeeee! Leah! You sweet thing you! Your's was SOoooooo much fun! And you KNOW I have a special place in my heart for "Childhood Home Projects!" Thank you!

AnnMarie Stokes

Love Jennie. Designs are creative and she listened to what we wanted. The Design process took a little longer than anticipated (just by a week or two) but was worth the wait. . We are now looking for a contractor to help us build the bathroom she designed. This is our first remodel and she has invaluable insight and has been so very helpful. Her input at this stage is sure to save us some money. She is also working with us as we try to keep cost down. Willing to work with our budget and I don’t feel she is pushing for any specific product or price. I know she is very busy but is very responsive to return messages and calls. I would highly recommend and am looking forward to completing the project with her at our side!!

Jennie was exactly what i was looking for!!! She has by far been the best investment we made into our remodel. She is timely, professional, easy to work with and truely a visionary! I will absolutely use her in the future!

AWWWEEEE Thank you! Yours was a FUN one! And it is going to be an incredible "new" look! You know what I loved the most about yours? Making a new friend! Thanks so much for everything! And I can't wait for the next project together!

lisajoneil

Jennie was a pleasure to work with. We were able to complete everything online, which made it very easy and convenient for us. She worked well with our contractor and was able to accommodate their requests for information, and now we are on to the building stage of our project.

I can't say enough about the professionalism and her knowledge to know exactly what we wanted even though we didn't. Ideas were brought to the table that we had not even thought of and they were perfect. Our plans came faster than we imagined. I can't wait to get our work started and see the finished product. I know it will be amazing because this company went above and beyond to make sure we got everything we wanted plus more.

Cynthia Alexander

My husband and I had so much fun working with Jennie designing our house. We made many changes and she was always there without compaint and very supporting. I loved Jennie's many idea's on our floor plan. We could not have done this without her. I do not believe that I could have found a better designer who would have worked as hard as she did with us.

Babs Tickner

We hired Jennie when we began the process of an addition to our home. (After talking to 4 others) She listened to our ideas and ran with them! She gave us several plans to choose from with some options we would not have imagined. She hit the nail on the head and I got a bonus remodel of my kitchen and didn't exceed our budget of $175, 000. We waited a little longer than we expected on the plans but in the long run, it was so worth it! I'd certainly recommend Jennie for your architectural needs. We ended up using her husbands company, Harmony Remodeling as well. (Also after meeting with a couple other builders and getting estimates) Thanks Jennie (and Mike :)) for a job well done! We have more than we expected and are so excited with our final product!

Jennie worked with us to design a home addition and a renovation to an existing part of the home. She was very easy to work with, friendly, and gave great advice on our ideas. Our blueprints were easy to read, ready in a timely manner, and she followed up to make sure all our concerns were addressed. Jennie took the time to discuss decor ideas with me even after construction had begun. I will definitely work with her again on future projects and recommend her to anyone in need of top-notch design services.

Jennie was great about coming out to our site, reviewing it with us, talking about exactly what we were looking for, and then helping us design the best deck for us! She stayed with us throughout the whole process, and was very helpful for first-time builders!

Jennie is one of the most talented designers I have ever worked with and I have worked with many.. Working with her is a pleasure. She has great ideas and will work hard to achieve exactly what you want and in addition, she can think out of the box to create something that fits your personal goals at a price you can afford. She has seemingly unlimited knowledge and contacts with other professionals to assist in projects. The project we are currently working on is in excess of $1 million.

We had a less than pleasant experience when working with Jennie Leigh. After 3 months of waiting and telling us on several occasions she would have drawings to us next week, we sent a strongly worded email asking for drawings within the next week or a refund of our large deposit. After a week or two she finally provided us with drawings. However, they were preliminary drawings so nothing was to scale and we weren't please with the overall look. We decide to work with someone else going forward to avoid the unnecessary stress and wasted time. We lost a rather large deposit and wasted 3 months. If you work with Jennie Leigh I would ask to speak with builders she has worked with on past projects and add specific timelines to the contract she makes you sign.

3 September 2017Last modified: 4 September 2017

Comment from Jennie Leigh Jones Design:

While I do value Ms James' perception of the events - my assessment of the project/relationship is a little different than she is portraying. While I do agree that the timeline was not as speedy as It normally is - as she stated, there were no commitments to time made in the contract. However, with regards to the drawings that were delivered for the preliminary phase - these were presented just as described within the contract & with the mutual understanding that the next step was for her to critique & resubmit to me with the changes she desired. (See attached). Per the contract, and per feeling that I had indeed submitted drawings that were appropriate for the phase (upholding my end of the contract) - I felt that a FULL refund ($810) was not quite warranted.

I am saddened that I have a client who is less than ecstatic with our working relationship - and I agree & concede with Ms James that establishing a design calendar for the project is a great idea. I believe that if it had been implemented on their project, it might have eliminated the frustration that I believe fueled this review.

I can only learn from each experience and commit to do better with the next. And I do encourage potential clients to converse with builders & other clients I've worked with; i have a very long list of happy both. Below, I've also attached a copy of the 1st page of contract that defines the scope of the project as well as 3 of the initial drawings that I provided for the prelim phase - just to illustrate that the prelim phased drawings were not merely simple line drawings but additionally full color renderings - and that there was a product delivered that could be used as a spring board for their project. (Houzz limited me to 4 images total here, tho there were 20+ more pages delivered to client - including all drawn elevations of house before & after)

Jennie was very easy to work with! We would certainly use her again. Her work ethics ....excellent! Her work was fast, efficient and communication level great!!

Jennie is a very imaginative person and it was a true pleasure to kick around ideas to finalize the plans for our tiny lake house. I very much enjoyed our interactions during the process and I am truly happy with the final product.

Jennie did a magnificent job, in a timely manner of a very large, complex, new home construction job. Jennie made the necessary changes to the project, as needed, without delay. I highly recommend Jennie Jones to draw or design your new construction or renovation!

Being out of state buyers and soon to be remodelers of an older(80's) home we needed someone from the Birmingham area to work with getting some plans together to tackle this job. Looked at several architect, designers and decided to contact Jennie. We set a time and met at our lake house doing a walk through of the existing home and ideas and plans of what we had in mind. She had a challenge in our minds to increase the required living space we wanted within the existing square footage(interior)also an add on room/porch and new exterior covered porch and revamp look of the home. Jennie worked with us to meet the needed requirements for permitting with the local municipality. She provided exterior plans different looks/ 3d drawings until we were happy with the plan. With the interior, she took our ideas/plans, listened to our needs, gave suggestions on improving floor plan, did 3d drawings and helped us to finalize a plan of action for interior living space. We also had Jennie incorporate a freestanding garage plan on our limited acreage for the building and permitting process. Thanks to Jennie for her great knowledge of design and listening to the clients needs. She was really a pleasure to meet and fun to work with.

Oh My Jamie! YOU were the FUN ones to work with! And such an incredible project to watch transform! I absolutely CANNOT wait to see the End Result! We'll add pictures here to show off your new Showcase! Thanks so much and Merry Christmas! Hope to see you soon!

Jennie Leigh is the Best!!!!!!!!! We were referred to her, and we are so lucky that we were. We had a remodel/addition project of a 1935 craftsman. We have 3 small kids so we had lots of needs for space and storage and function, and she addressed them all. She is more than helpful and is always open for suggestions. If you have a vision she will put it to paper, and at the same time enhance details that will make your project something beyond your expectations. We ran into some bumps with the project being a remodel and she fielded my emergency phone calls and has helped tweak the plan as needed. My family and I can't thank Jennie enough.

Jenny was given the task of merging a 100 year old structure with new construction to produce a functional residence. From the beginning, she appreciated our commitment to maintaining the essence and the integrity of a home which has been in my family for 80 years and she has consistently been completely on-board with my vision for the house. She really listens and is always open to making changes and hearing new ideas, even those which did not arise until she was well in the design. She also incorporated into the plans her own ideas for features and amenities which will enhance our enjoyment of the house in addition to adding value. Jennie has been a pleasure to work with! She consistently shows up with a smile, a great attitude, and a real commitment to the project. She's responded to messages promptly even though she has experienced family crises during our project. Jennie was my first choice for an architect for this project, and knowing what I know now, she would still be my first choice.

We have been so busy enjoying our Family Room that I almost forgot to thank Jennie for an outstanding job. We have a large L shaped basement that we needed to make a family room. Jennie made it so comfortable that we spend almost all of time there. Our family loves the atmosphere, it's so cozy. Thank you!!!!!

Enjoyed working with Mrs Jones. She worked with us on putting our dream home onto paper. Jennie was nice and worked with us through all of the changes that we kept coming back with. She did not disappoint and made sure everything was just as we wanted before finally printing our blueprints off.

I have used the services of Ms Jones for several years. She has great insight, merging her Design and Architectural expertise with her client's individual ideas. She offers alternatives and suggestions, that enhance and improve the plans. She anticipates problems, and verifies structural plans and potential issues. She recommends finishes, trim and details that enhance the beauty of her plans. She is an excellent Designer.

Jennie was a pleasure to work with and did a wonderful job on our plans. I actually had quite a few contractors ask where we had them done. Great ideas and pricing was also better than some of the large architecture firms we checked out. Plans were complete with electrical, roof pitch, notes and everything else you could ask for amd were professional and timely. Thanks!!

Jennie designed a kitchen for my husband and me in 2008. She took an eyesore of a kitchen in our one hundred year old home and turned it into a beautiful, functional, relaxing area. She should be called a Miracle Worker. Her design gave great attention to each area of the small space she had to work with. I love it all, especially the lighting. I would highly recommend Jennie Leigh Jones for any project.

My wife and I hired Jennie to prepare us some design plans for a house expansion and we were extremely pleased with her work. She prepared three different options and they all incorporated things the we asked her to include. Jennie was very polite, professional and prepared our designs in a timely manner. I would highly recommend using Jennie and we would certainly hire her again.

Jennie provided prompt, professional service on our project. We were extremely pleased with the end result and found Jennie very accessible and easy to talk to. She really listened to our wants and needs and offered good solutions for sticky problems. I would use Jennie's services again in a heartbeat!

Jennie designed an architectural "facelift" for the front of our house, which transformed it from a boring dated split-level ranch to a beautiful multi-level craftsman. She listened to all of our needs, and implemented every design element we wanted. To this day, I continue to receive many complements on the redesign, along with requests for her information! We could not be happier with the results!!!
