Below you will find what a few of our clients think about Palladio as their designer.

"Working with Palladio was a great experience. He was very prompt with communication. He worked quickly and efficiently. His fees were very reasonable and we were really happy with his service. We would use John again."

"When you begin a new home project you have to be sure you can communicate effectively with your designer. John listened to our ideas and provided effective feedback including new energy efficient products that will provide savings in the long run. We already had a strong idea about what we wanted and he frequently made suggestions that fit into our design concept without taking us away from what we wanted in our home. He also remembered we were trying to keep the design concept within our budget. John made the best use of our time by using on-line meetings at any time (and I do literally mean any time) to keep the progress of the work moving along. The big question that has to be answered is would I make the same choice in designers and I would have to say yes. John is easy to work with and produces a very good end product. Your builder will have a quality set of plans to work from which reduces complications in the building process."

John and his staff are great to work with, they listen, have great ideas and very caring. We hope they will all be our first guests."

"John is prompt, courteous, detailed oriented, and knowledgeable. He was a builder prior to Palladio Designs, as a result, he was able to give us cost effective suggestions that an architect could not. John listened to our ideas/concerns and was able to execute the plans accordingly. We also liked the fact that John held online meetings where he made changes to the designs instantaneously. Through John, we were also able to use a software that enabled us to see the designs three dimensionally. I personally submitted the plans to the Building Department in San Jose for an Express Permit/Over-the-Counter Permit and was told by the plan reviewer that the plans Palladio produced were clean and thorough. John is great. He was a pleasure to workwith. We only have wonderful things to say about him."

"Very pleased with my experience working with John. He was available or responded quickly to messages I left. Within the scope of time originally estimated for my project work on my project progressed rapidly. When I ran into changes required by unusual zoning laws that caused floor plan changes, my original estimated time was far exceeded. John continued to work on myproject and make steady progress, even though it was clear he had other priority work he had to attend to. He did not change his price due to these changes, and his original price was competitive with other bids I received. I would recommend John to a friend."

“Our project was different than a standard remodel because the house is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. It was important for us to find a designer who could work in collaboration with the Historic Preservationist, the Interior Designer and the General Contractor. John fit this bill exactly. His attention to details was above and beyond our expectation. He was excellent at listening to our needs, and communicating his design ideas. As a result, we now live in a beautifully restored, historic home.”

"very helpful, flexible and consistent on follow up. My excessive travel and dynamic project plans and finances made it difficult to finish project. I expect to return to the area and finish the project with him later."

"John was extremely prompt to respond to our (emergency) needs, was beyond helpful with his suggestions, and gave us many tips to help us to save money. We would use him again and recommend him to anyone

"Palladio has completed the first floor of our new home and he and we are very excited. John listens very well and expresses his thoughts and ideas. He has provided us with sage guidance and we look forward to the completed project so we can begin the build."

"Working with John was great. He's very knowledgeable, offers a builder’s perspective on issues, prepares options to resolve problems, and is willing to work through issues rather than just hope they go away. When he had questions he called to seek info prior to putting a design on paper. His approach minimized re-work and reduced the overall time line to completion. "

"I enjoyed working with John Harper. He was professional, and his final product was impressive."
