Haven Design and Construction

Interior Designer

One of the first things that you notice about Armando and Jana Valdez is that they make a great team, but this builder husband and interior designer wife each had separate careers before they met each other. It’s always more interesting to know the backstory, so here’s a little snippet to explain how Haven came to be.

"I remember the night we met," Jana said, smiling, "It was at Matamoros restaurant and we were there for the birthday party of a mutual friend. Armando walked up to me and asked me to dance. I nervously accepted because I don't know a thing about how to salsa!" she laughed. "After the dance, we sat and talked for hours. I couldn't believe everything that we had in common! Armando explained that he was a builder, remodeler and realtor. I shared with him that I was an interior designer and the conversation just flowed," she remembers. “He really won my heart the following week when he rescued me from a dead car battery. That’s just the kind of guy he is, always looking after everyone else.” Read more

    It was such a relief to find a company who does design and construction in one. They were respectful of my budget and I was extremely happy with the design details that made my kitchen truly a functional, beautiful space for my family and friends to enjoy. Very respectful of pets and property while onsite and they were always easy to get in touch with! I was so happy with the quality of work, ease of communication and follow thru that we hired them to do a commercial remodel for our business. Super sweet people and very professional at all times!

    Our kitchen was frozen in 1954 when we bought our house and we needed someone with a vision and passion to help us make our renovation a reality. Jana was absolutely wonderful to work with and her work speaks for itself. We collaborated on the renovation from conception to reality and the final product speaks for itself.

    After working closely with Jana Valdez for over 5 years, there is no one I trust more with design and business decisions than her. She has a great eye for design and her commitment to customer service is unparalleled. I could not be more excited for Jana, Armando, and Haven Construction and all of the possibilities that lie ahead. I would recommend them to anyone seeking professional, detail-oriented, and reliable designers/contractors for their next remodel or new-build project.
