"I have used James Byrnes Architectural Services for over 30 Years. Jim is smart, well-schooled, attentive, creative, caring, a good listener and mindful of deadlines. I have asked Jim to attend meetings and give presentations at public hearings and open forums. Together we have designed, built and closed both new and remodeled residential single family, multifamily and commercial structures... over 300 properties! Jim has never hesitated to produce projects both large and small even when constrained by budget concerns, handicap accessible issues, size or community and neighbor constraints. I have recommended Jim to other builders who have used his services I'm told with excellent results. My wife and I recently moved into a new home that Jim designed for our current needs... our family and guests are very impressed."

"Our family has known Jim for over a decade. He has designed architectural plans for two projects near- and-dear to our hearts. The latest project is a re-creation of the architectural "blueprints” for a 110-year-old home in downtown Crystal Lake. IL. The original blueprints were most likely lost or discarded decades ago and to see Jim's architectural designs brings new "life" to this home. Jim is thoroughly professional, personable and has tremendous listening skills (cue the details involved with architectural drawing and design). Our family highly recommends James Byrnes. Architect."
