If I could give 6 stars for this design consultant, I would. I worked with Jeanine when she was at Lamont Bros. for a large kitchen remodel/refresh. It was my first remodel experience and I had a few major concerns: budget, storage, and quality/longevity. I am naturally indecisive and perfectionist, although I knew my general desired aesthetic and wanted to save some old features. Jeanine helped me from the pre-visit consultation all the way to beyond the finished product for trouble shooting. She was incredibly flexible and generous with her time, and given my busy work schedule, she never made me feel like I was intruding when we texted or conversed at odd hours. We met in person frequently during the design phase to pick tile, counters, etc. She was great at following up on little things like my pendant light choice and is a major stickler for staying on budget. We did a lot of back and forth, trying to save my old cabinets, and she was able to get multiple different options budgeted for me, which ultimately ended up being better with a modified pull and replace approach. She knows and has connections with countertops and other suppliers like no other and she loves innovative details like dog stations, faucet and sink upgrades, and cabinet rolling shelves. Most of all, I trust her judgement and am planning to pursue more projects with her in the future. Thank you, Jeanine!

As a Solar developer/contractor, I am able to build and renovate my own projects but time is my enemy, and so a friend recommended, I hire Jeanine. We worked out an hourly rate to create a plan for 2 rental properties and a barn that needed major rebuilds. I hired a GC, and then Jeanine to do the design and budgeting for the projects. She has created renderings, a schedule and detailed budgets which are shared with my GC online. She lives 3000 miles away and is able to run this project seamlessly from her computer. The scheduling software and selections process was really useful. One of the units will be an AIRBNB and needs to be furnished, which J9 Designs can do – I was impressed with the amount of Hats Jeanine wore and the quality of work was terrific. I spent more than I planned on because it was so easy to hand off projects, knowing it was going to be handled properly. I would recommend her to anyone who needs reliable help with a variety of renovation projects.
I reached out to get some Design help with my Kitchen and Bathroom. I must say that I was not expecting all the extras we decided to go for with J9 Designs. A detailed budget and help finding the right contractor for the project. By the way the upfront budget was extremely accurate and came in within a 3K variance on a $142K project. My husband and I are so grateful for the guidance we received. There were several things that came up during the renovation and Jeanine was able to help us sort it out, quickly and efficiently. We were also prepared for certain pitfalls which – one of them came true. Jeanine recommended opening all the boxes on arrival to double check parts for plumbing fixtures and appliances. Well – we received the wrong faucet and it was missing a weight. We were able to send it back for the correct one, in time for the day of installation. Saved the plumber from a second trip to come back again! Thank you Jeanine we will certainly use you again for our next project, it saved us a ton of stress and money.
Exceptional Kitchen Remodeling Experience with J9 Design I recently had the pleasure of working with Jeanine from J9 Design to remodel my kitchen, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. Jeanine provided invaluable guidance in areas where I truly needed support: the overall kitchen design, finding reliable contractors, and understanding the project’s total cost. Her expertise in design was evident from the start. She brought fantastic ideas for color combinations, particularly in cabinetry and granite selections, which completely elevated the look of my kitchen. Additionally, her recommendations on paint colors, hardware, and lighting added a stylish and cohesive feel to the space. Jeanine’s knowledge and professionalism made the entire remodeling process smoother and far less stressful. Her suggestions were not only creative but also practical, addressing both aesthetics and functionality seamlessly. I would highly recommend Jeanine and J9 Design to anyone seeking an experienced, insightful, and dedicated remodeling professional.
I reached out with a request for specific design help. I’m updating my kitchen and keep getting stuck with what colors to do ALL the finishes! It’s so overwhelming. Jeanine was exactly what I needed. She’s personable, fun and has a great eye. After our phone call she came to my home with so many ideas, color samples and finish options that it was fun to imagine what my kitchen could be! She took all of my anxiety away and now I have a color palette for walls, cabinets, hardware etc that I’m really excited about.
We started our kichen remodeling and Jeanine was very helpful. She did all the measurements and brought in countertop samples. Her ideas about colors to blend with our existing wood cupboards helped us since these were not being replaced. We were advised where to shop for cooktop, sink, and faucet . We are very pleased with Jeanine’s knowledge and I highly recommend her for your next project. Rosemary and Phil Morton
