JPS Designs + Build

My experience with JPS Designs + Build has been nothing short of exceptional. What truly stands out is Jim's positive approach to whatever project we have thrown his way, his knowledgeable and helpful team, and the innovative approach to store builds. I would highly recommend JPS + Build and I am already working with them on our next project. Their commitment to customer satisfaction, innovation, and quality is truly commendable.

JPS Designs + Build are simply incredible to work with. Professional, experienced, creative and meticulous about the details, which as a long-time designer of retail and commercial space project, are essential qualities for our key vendors to embody to ensure the successful execution of our retail store design and subsequent build out Jim and the entire team at JPS are amazing partners, that delivered our project on time, on budget, with clear communication and flawless execution. Myself, my team and our client could not have been happier with the results and we truly look forward to working with the JPS team again soon on future projects.

JPS has been an incredible partner for all of our projects. Their team consistently goes above and beyond, ensuring every detail is executed to perfection. From start to finish, their professionalism, creativity, and dedication shine through. It’s always a pleasure working with a company that genuinely cares about delivering top-quality results. Highly recommend!

We have worked with JPS on a number of projects. As another design and fabrication company ourselves, most people would look at us as competition, but JPS has put that aside and put in meaningful effort to go above and beyond to work together on projects. This has went a long way with us, and you can tell that it is the culture have built within their team as well. One of the most impressive and reliable companies around. Highly recommend.

I recently worked with JPS Designs & Build Inc. on a home renovation project, and I was blown away by their creativity and attention to detail. From the initial planning stages to the final touches, their design ideas consistently impressed me and brought my vision to life. Moreover, they completed every milestone right on schedule, which made the entire process stress-free. Overall, their blend of artistry and reliable execution truly sets them apart.

At the beginning of 2024, I was preparing for the most significant undertaking of my team's history. Our watch and jewelry business had outgrown its quaint 800 sqft footprint in Fashion Island, Newport Beach. My team and I decided that if we were going to move, it would be our forever home, and it needed to be done right the first time. Once we had settled on the location after a few months of searching, our next task would be the most daunting one: who would build the store of our dreams? Over the subsequent weeks, we met with a few builders and designers who offered all the right stuff on paper but always left our meetings feeling like we were missing that warm and fuzzy feeling, and since our lease has options for 25 years total, we wanted everything to feel just right. Thanks to a chance referral, we were introduced to Jim and his team at JPS Designs and instantly felt like our values and enthusiasm for our project were reciprocated. We unanimously decided to entrust them to our store, and we could not be happier with that decision. Some comments on key people: Patricia Z. Mansour, the JPS project manager, was an absolute pleasure to work with. She was highly responsive, courteous, and mindful every step of the way. She took the time to understand our design intentions and offered key insights into the project's critical points that proved indispensable to us in our day-to-day operations now that we are moved in. Her creativity, technical know-how, and kind nature went a long way throughout the 8-month build, and our only complaint is that we don't see her as often now that our project is completed. Jim P. Smith, the founder and namesake of JPS Designs, is an exceptional designer, engineer, businessman, and person. If I sum my experience working with him in one word, I would use 'attentive'. Throughout the process, he tried to listen to any and all input, ideas, concerns, frustrations, opinions, and so on. You could not throw Jim off from his attentive and kind demeanor. Calm, cool, and collected all the way through, even when the project presented challenges outside of anyone's control. He bobbed and weaved remarkably and kept us content through the whole thing. It would be relatively straightforward to give a raving review when you have a blank check and a decent team, but Jim and his team indeed went the extra mile in maximizing every dollar in our budget towards crucial parts of the store. We did not have an unlimited budget nor a small budget, but we certainly knew it would still be a task in and of itself to get to the fit, finish, and aesthetic that we dreamed of. JPS Designs made our dreams come true, and we experience the fruits of their labor every day. We can proudly say that we have one of the best retail locations in Orange County thanks to them. - The Greenwich Time Team

I have had the tremendous pleasure of partnering with JPS while at a multitude of brands throughout the years - they are truly masters of design, creativity and bringing physical activations to life, and will always my first call when I have a retail or event need. Their teams ability to continuously, and without fail, execute on time and on budget, while maintain excellent consumer service, is un-matched to any other firm I have yet to engage with in my professional career. You have a true one stop shop with these guys - and am certain you will enjoy the design and production process along the way! - LM

I highly recommend JPS Designs. They do exceptional work, and have an impressive lineup of clients that displays many of their creative design layouts. They are customer focused, knowledgeable and helpful in assisting you with your vision. They are attentive to details and committed to getting your vision realized. Jim, the design team and sub-contractors are a professional team needed for a project well done!.

I would highly recommend Jim and his team at JPS Designs. We experienced a pipe burst at our house in Huntington Beach. After filling a claim with our home insurance we started the process of finding a contractor to help us rebuild our home. We contacted contractor after contractor, some came to the house, walked the job, and assured us they would follow up with a bid. Some set appointments and never showed up, no call to reschedule, nothing. This must have happened 4-6 times. Luckily a friend recommended Jim and JPS Designs. After an initial phone call to discuss scope, Jim showed up to the house as scheduled. He then followed up with multiple phone calls, and emails, had his design team out within a few days taking measurements, and scheduled job walks with sub-contractors. Jim and his team have been extremely professional and honest with us. If you have been in a situation where contractors are not following through with you, or not showing up, save yourself some time and call JPS Designs. They will treat you as a customer should be treated. I recommend them highly.
