Jace Architecture

My husband and I are so happy to recommend Jace Architecture. We worked with Jace Levinson and his team to remodel the kitchen and bath in our small home in Burlingame. Jace came up with the idea to open our small kitchen to the living room by removing a structural wall, and to enlarge the size of the windows to the exterior. The rooms now feel big and spacious and we can entertain our guests in comfort! The folks at Jace Architecture were responsive to our needs and on time with their work. Construction can be challenging, but Jace helped smooth out the rough edges and make the process fun. We love our new home!!!

Jace Architecture did a fantastic job with my victorian remodel in Noe Valley, SF. We discussed the plans at regular intervals and Jace was flexible in understanding my budget and timing constraints. He had imaginative ideas to maximize interior space and tucked in a much-​loved little library that gives me great pleasure. His cost projections were on target, he billed only for time actually expended on my behalf, his construction advice was valuable, and he worked smoothly with my contractor and the permitting agencies to ensure that the project would be built on time. The wood, fixtures, and lighting that he recommended are lovely. He made suggestions, I made all of the actual decisions, and I am delighted with the result. My contractor recommended Jace intially, and the two of them were an excellent pair. The whole experience was great.

My wife and I selected Jace Architecture after interviewing several firms. We strongly believe, now that our remodel is complete, that we made the right choice. We were attracted by Jace’s beautiful and impressive portfolio of work but we were won over by his easy going, confident nature. Our home, a mid century rancher, was cramped and needed to be modernized. We re did the bathrooms, the porch/​entry and the kitchen, opening it up to our outdoor areas. Jace and his team provided us with great design ideas and a smooth construction phase. The firm was professional and well organized. Both my wife and I love our new home.

I own a flat in SOMA and I wanted to remodel my kitchen and bathroom and improve my exterior deck. I was referred to Jace Architecture by a friend. We started about a year ago and the project is now complete and I love the finished product. They were great to deal with. Jace is accommodating and insightful and funny! His associates were also a total joy to work with. I would recommend the firm without hesitation.

I contracted with Jace Architecture recently for consultation on a small condo remodel. Jace Levinson, the owner and principal architect went out of hiw way to be helpful, working patiently and carefully within my limited budget. He has a great but subtle eye for colors, fixtures and overall design and great interpersonal skills. I would gladly use his services in the future and confidently recommend him to friends and family.

Unilocal! we need NO STARS
There are certain qualities’ one should look for in a professional architect. Unfortunately, Jace Levensen possesses none of them.
Jace promised our project would be within budget. His idea of within budget was 130% over budget. He never delivered what he promised. Made lots of excuses and claims of expertise in areas which he has none. Jace does not listen to his clients. And will argue his point, even when he doesn’t have one.
Jace’s incompetence costs my company over $ 12,000 in unnecessary expenses, and nine weeks of delays.
The stink of bad karma is all over this firm.

This firm is unprofessional. They took plans which we paid $ 5,000 to have drawn and now refuse to give them back. They claim they threw them away. We haven’t moved. No one from JACE ever contacted us about the plans. They refuse to return emails which I am assuming violates ethics rules.
I would avoid this firm. They don’t act with professionalism. If something goes wrong, you will be left hodling the bag. (and will undoubtedly lose money.)

And she’s nice, too!
