Jared was very professional and responsive when we were in the process of rebuilding our detached garage three years ago. Our new garage has worked out great.

Extremely pleased with our architect, Jared Smith. He handled our project with the utmost care, and professionalism. Everything was a breeze with him by our side, and that makes all the difference. Would use him again and again, and I highly recommend him to anyone on the hunt for the best. Thank me later.

We had the pleasure of working with Jared after receiving a city summons, and his expertise was exactly what we needed. He promptly visited our property, assessed our current setup, and reassured us that everything was in full compliance with city codes. Given the layout of our property, he confirmed that our existing system was the only viable option. Jared’s professionalism and clear communication put us at ease and significantly reduced our stress during a challenging time. We highly recommend Jared and Architect Owl PLLC to anyone in need of knowledgeable, reliable architectural guidance.

Recently consulted with and hired Architect Owl PLLC to assist with removing DHB violation for a property in Yonkers, NY. Jared is very responsive, pleasant to work with and most importantly very well versed and knowledgeable in the field and came to the table with a myriad of ways how the property could be modified in order to fulfill compliance requirements for our city's housing and buildings laws. A sort of cost stratification for the various options was provided by Jared which incorporated both property owner's desires/budget and his architectural expertise. Very transparent and desires that his customer is well educated and versed on their property, scope of work and project they are embarking on. The updated architectural schematic for the property created by Architect Owl PLLC was modern, professional and proved a fitting replacement for the old one on file with our city that resembled a grade student's attempt to draw. Very pleased and grateful to have connected with this company! Will definitely be using this company for future property investments as there is value in having an architect at the beginning of the property purchasing process to mitigate certain property related risks/costs; particularly in westchester county with its charming 'vintage' houses that most often are not 'up to code.' Highly recommend Jared and Architect Owl PLLC!

Outstanding Collaboration with Jared from ArchitectOwl I had the pleasure of working with Jared from ArchitectOwl on a recent project, where he played a crucial role in executing construction documents, coordinating the project, and assisting with the permitting process. From start to finish, his professionalism, expertise, and attention to detail were evident in every aspect of the work. Jared’s ability to navigate the complexities of documentation and approvals ensured that the project moved forward smoothly, efficiently, and on schedule—without any unexpected setbacks. His proactive coordination and clear communication helped streamline the process, making collaboration effortless. It’s rare to find someone who combines technical precision with a solutions-oriented mindset, and Jared excels at both. His deep understanding of the architectural and permitting landscape of Bronxville, NY was instrumental in keeping everything on track. I highly recommend Jared and ArchitectOwl - from one architect to another - to any family looking for a reliable, skilled professional to support their projects. I look forward to working together again in the future. ~RLSE, AIA, NCARB, CSI, NOMA

After she had been waiting for 30 years, I desperately wanted to give my wife a new kitchen! Thankfully, we found Jared and with his help and guidance, we were finally able to accomplish this goal, and more! He also helped us complete some other well needed upgrades to our home which were necessary to make it safe and compliant with local codes. Jared helped us put together a plan with realistic cost estimates. Then helped us refine it, get all the necessary city permits, hire good contractors through competitive bidding, and identify all the right resources and materials needed to do the job. Jared was always available with expert guidance and helped us work out any issues that came up during the project to our complete satisfaction. We are now living in what feels like a brand-new home, thanks to Jared. To say he's worth his weight in gold would be an understatement: “Happy Wife, Happy life!” 😊

We hired Jared to take on our single family addition/full renovation. As homeowners we were unfamiliar with the whole process, but Jared helped guide us with diligence, patience, and professionalism. Jared did a phenomenal job as our architect but also as our project consultant, helping guiding us through difficult decisions. I would highly recommend his services and will hire him in the future if needed.
