Testimonials

Jerry was great to work with and patient with us as we had two different consultations over a span of 18 months as we considered how best to add on to our house. His eye for design is one of the best and has helped our addition look like it “always belonged” – thanks to all the staff at JWR!

“We have used other firms in the past, but the quality of stock plans is not the same. We have built about a dozen homes using JWR Stock Plans and they are the most complete stock plans I’ve used…easy to build, all the numbers are there through all phases, very thorough. You are never left guessing and don’t have to figure things out. JWR plans are buildable from a builder’s standpoint, and visually appealing…always look nice…never saw one that looks bad. Sometimes you see stock plans being built and you say, What happened there? Their Stock Plan price is good. As house prices go up, you have to save wherever you can. People are trying to save $5,000 where they can. JWR Ready to Build Plans are a good idea!”

“We were able to get a custom home by purchasing a JWR Stock Plan and having it modified. JWR revised it a bit, changed a few things for us, and we’ve had so many comments. We see people pulling off the road to take a picture and ask us about it! We’ve used JWR Stock Plans five or six times for our own home and spec homes we build because of the ideas, finished product, and usability. We’ve seen homes where other plans seem to work, but you open the door in the laundry room and can’t get to the dryer. JWR is thorough and if we need to change something they work with us. JWR knows what spec buyers buy, and you want to build something people like. Who wants to build an ugly house, right? We are happy with JWR. Their plans are more affordable, they are great people to deal with, and are honest.”

“As first-time custom home builders, we had an idea of what we were looking for – a contemporary home that still had warmth – but we did not have a design. Jerry made it come to life as he incorporated warm woods, a rock entrance, single sloped roof, and beams throughout which give it that warm, homey feel. He was eager to listen, ask questions you never think about asking, sketched out ideas as we talked, and hit it right on the spot. His patience and vision were amazing… It feels like we have something we have envisioned for many years.”

During the stressful and often overwhelming process of building a home, working with Jerry at JWR has been an absolute relief. He and his staff are positive, creative, efficient and complete deadlines early. As you can see from this page Jerry’s designs can be amazing and fabulous but I appreciate that he put just as much effort and attention into our small, simple, affordable home. Everyone who sees our plans says first, “Oh JWR, they are good.” This makes everything easier because the plans are done so well that contractors have an easy time building your home. Huge strong recommend for JWR Design!
