I offer my
highest recommendation for James Fenton of JAF
Concepts. I've had the pleasure to work as
colleagues with James from 2004 - 2006. Since 2006,
I have had several opportunities to contract James
for both my home and business. Working with James
is awe-inspiring. James possesses the unique
ability to ask the right questions and draw out
important details that translate directly into his
designs. He listens intently, gets to genuinely
know his clients and works to make each space
unique to the client's needs. He's a team player
that can be counted on to see the specifics that
can turn negative details into positive outcomes. I
look forward to any opportunity to use James'
unique skills and talents to allow me to see the
possibilities from the blank canvas of a basic
floor plan.

One of
the many benefits of using James Fenton
(owner/designer of JAF Concepts) is
because he uses 3D design. This allows
clients to see and better understand new
kitchen or remodeling project before
beginning construction. It helps people
envision colors and textures, as well as
resize and move windows, doors, lights,
and even adjust ceiling heights. 3D
designers help people better imagine
projectsby seeing colors and textures
close to real life before buying, helping
get the most out of their budget.

My husband and I
were referred to James Fenton by our builder to
assist us with the design phase of our custom home.
We already had a strong vision of how we wanted the
finished product to look, but of course, needed a
designer to bring that vision to
fruition.
|
We had
met with another designer who insisted on
expressing his preferences (and using his
previously implemented designs), while
pushing ours to the side. The contrast
between this experience and James'
approach was incredible. James met with us
in our home, so he could get an idea of
how we lived. After each meeting at our
home, the latest draft of our plans would
reflect some convenient design element
based upon what James observed during his
visit. He took everything, including our
daughter's safety and the special needs of
our pets, into consideration.
|
|
James was able
to introduce many unique and practical aspects to
the home, all while preserving the overall
aesthetics of the project. He was also easy to
reach and always made time for our questions. We
would highly recommend James to any friends looking
to build or remodel their homes. We not only think
of James as the accomplished
professional
who designed
our beautiful home, but also as a
friend.

Regional
Director
FastBucks
James Fenton has
served as our company's architect for the three
past builds in the city of Albuquerque. During the
past builds he designed and oversaw construction of
our branches in Albuquerque and Rio Rancho. He is
not only very thorough and worked with us during a
few changes, but also made design changes quickly
and communicated the new changes to both the city
planners and contractors.
James took care
of every detail, many times well beyond his
responsibility, which helped me greatly. James was
always available, day or night, for consultation. I
would definitely call him a hands-on professional
as opposed to those who rely on draftsmen or
computers.
I strongly
recommend James and will contact him with future
designs.
If I can answer
any questions, please don't hesitate to call
me.

We
worked with James on the remodel of our
kitchen. While we had a basic layout in
mind, James was able to put the concept
into a tangible form with his skills. We
wanted to reuse our cabinetry but didn't
have much idea of how that might be
feasible.
James
came to our home, took some photos, and
within days had our layout back to us with
computer generated pictures of what the
finished room would look like. We tweeked
these ideas a few times and James was
always willing to come by to discuss
things with us, and then follow up
promptly with revised floorplans and
pictures. He was a pleasure to work with -
most professional and knowledgeable. I
would recommend him highly.

We were
faced with a daunting project…design
our own "Dream-of-a-Lifetime"
building…we had many ideas, but had
only done small potatoes projects up 'til
now. When we started working with James,
it was great…he sensed our passion
for the concept and adopted it as his own.
He translated our ideas into reality,
making changes within the state-of-the-art
software that made our project come to
life right before our very eyes.
Not
only did he help our concepts materialize,
but he came up with some of his own ideas
that we loved. Many of his ideas became
some of the focal points and center pieces
of the whole concept…without his
input the project would have been nice,
but because of it, the project became
fabulous! It was a pleasure to have worked
with James and we owe him much for his
efforts.
At the
same time James was helping us with our
Project, he was designing some Lofts as
part of the development on our property.
After seeing them in their near-finished
stages, I was amazed at what he did with
the fairly limited space available for
them. I would feel very comfortable in any
of them, and the features offered in them
were those of typically larger
lofts…nice job!

Jim
O'Leary
Our
contractor recommended James for a major
remodel of our house. James has a great
sense of practicality and attention to
detail in his designs and had ideas for
important things we had never even thought
of. What we most liked about James is that
he really listened and cared about how we
live and our lifestyle when coming up with
his designs.
Like
most projects we made many changes from
the initial design and James was
professional and patient with us while we
worked through the evolution of our
project. Once we finalized our designs JAF
delivered finished drawings on the date on
which he promised. We would recommend JAF
concepts to anyone doing large or small
projects. Thanks James!

We
loved that we could visualize what our new

tour.
I would
highly recommend James, he is truly the

Said, M.S., EMG (ACE)
Working with
James and his business (JAF Concepts) was the best
thing ever that my family and I had. I was
introduced to him through my contractor and I was
lucky to meet him. I wanted to expand my house from
the north side and I have an idea about how to do
it, but when I showed the house to James, he gave a
way better idea than mine and as a plus he built
the model on the computer and made me walk through
my new home, it was great, my family and I kind of
got the feeling how it will looks like.
As a plus too, I
got a friend now, every time I have something to do
with the house or any problem, I call him and take
his advice, and he is always welling to help me or
fined some one that could help me.
Strongly
recommend James and JAF Concepts for your projects
and if want to see how your dream house might looks
like.
A happy
customer.

Our first
meeting with James Fenton, the owner of JAF
Concepts was supposed to be a quick introduction
and short discussion of our ideas for a custom home
design. The short discussion turned into an
interview . James wanted to know all about our
hobbies; what issues we both have about storage;
closets and other storage; ideal kitchen set up;
and other space needs for our new home.
|
We
already have the land for the new home,
and it is an odd shape. We also had a
basic design that we liked, but...... we
wanted and needed more customisation to
support our hobbies, meet our needs, and
fit on the property. James probed and
listened. He listened vary well. His
design for our new home ratained some of
the basic look that we brought to our
first meeting, but his design exceeded our
dreams.
Our new
home will be spacious, have ample storage
space, take advantage of a gorgeous view
form all of the primary living space,
maximize our desire for privacy, and
accommodate our individual and shared
retirement activities. We met with James a
couple more times to refine small details.
When we finalized the house design and got
the plan drawings and detailed
specifications for construction, we were
thrilled.
|
|
Our first
steps toward retirement were pleasurable, and we
gained a new friend. We will recommend James to
anyone looking for a custom home
designer.

What makes James
a good designer is not only his talent and vision,
but also his caring and open-minded approach to his
Clients. We appreciate how hard he worked in
putting together our house plans to serve our
family, our life style, and our preferences. He was
pleasant to work with even though he had to re-draw
the layouts to fit all aspects of our desires
within the budget we want. His 3-D images were
incredibly well-presented and were very helpful to
us in visualizing what our new home would look
like.
We would
recommend James to anybody designing a home.
