Now my project is finished and I love my new "great room" which includes the kitchen, dining room and living room. My friends call my house "a party house." Which it totally is! Everyone loves hanging out in the kitchen but now there is nothing separating the 3 rooms so parties are a blast! One of the best things is the garbage pullout which is directly under the prep station. I would highly recommend Jerry for any design work.

I engaged Obie Bowman in early August 2019 to prepare permit submission for a pre-fabricated metal…read morebuilding to replace my fire destroyed metal building in Napa. This would have been my second such building replacement. Unfortunately, the Architect who handled the permit process for my first building retired and closed his offices, thus I reached out to Obie Bowman. My first building received the necessary permit within 45 days of submittal, and the building was erected and completed within 5 months total time. After 11 months of monthly invoices from Obie G Bowman, I have nothing to submit. I have expended some $50K plus on his services which should not have exceeded $16K by anyone else. He continually made repeated errors, wrong mark-ups and continually "forgot" our conversations, never writing anything down. He knew zero, absolutely nothing about permit submission requirements. The pre-fabricated building manufacturer finally sent me a notice of non-interest to supply/sell me the building due to Obie Bowman's amateurish and erroneous drawings. I reached out to Obie and requested that we part ways and that consider refunding a portion of the fees I've paid him (over $50,000.00) and that I would leave it up to him to propose an equitable resolution. His response was to send me an additional invoice for over $1,500. I would not recommend him to anyone, not even someone I seriously disliked. It's obvious that he intentionally caused this year long delay so as to continually invoice me and bilk me of my monies. Run away, don't walk.

Sadly, we gave him 50% down and never received the finished product. He was constantly missing deadlines, always had a crisis (sick mother, ill son, etc.). And then a few weeks into it he asks for more money. He then fails to show up to work and then refuses to take our calls. We had to literally go to his shop, retrieve our doors that hadn't even been touched and find another cabinet maker. We lost our deposit as he refused to return any portion of it. We should have taken him to small claims. He also did this to a friend on a bathroom remodel. He is bad news, do not use him. P.S. last time I heard he was doing business out of Cloverdale,.

We loved our experience and wholeheartedly endorse Winder Gibson to anyone looking for a full service architecture firm. From the outset, Geoff and his team demonstrated an exceptional understanding of our family's needs, which they transformed into a beautiful house design that resonates with our aspirations and lifestyle. We are currently transitioning to the construction phase, and are excited to raise our family in such a thoughtfully designed space. Also, Geoff and team are true experts at navigating the San Francisco permitting process. They efficiently moved us through permitting, both reacting to feedback from the city and helping us manage our neighbors. Honestly, we could not have permitted the house without their guidance. In a city where building homes can be difficult, the one two punch of beautiful design + the knowledge and skill to get it across the line was invaluable. We are so appreciative of Geoff and team.
