About

Jerry exceed expectations throughout our project. He balanced his feedback and expectation setting with our GC and interior designer maintaining high morale. His balanced approach and commitment to our shared vision was important to navigate the difficulty of a large project during the pandemic. Most importantly, Jerry’s vision incorporated his perspective with ours. As a result, the finished product respected the history of our house, (built in 1890) while adding enough of our own style and preferences to make it feel like our home. I recommend Jerry highly and look forward to continue working with him on new projects.

Jerry is a true artist who takes great pride in his work. He helped us with a small addition of a master bath and closet and brought really nice design options, extending beyond our addition to add character to our home. He helped us navigate securing a variance and was very interested in how our project was going. He genuinely cares about your vision and his work! We would hire him again in a heartbeat!

I first worked with Jerry in 2006 to renovate our 1890 Victorian from the studs up. I was impressed by his technical knowledge (his drawings leave nothing for contractor interpretation) but mostly by his ability to listen and then produce stunning architectural design. A transitional open plan kitchen in a Victorian? No problem. I have since had Jerry draw up plans to add a garage to our home, to renovate a 3 bed investment property, and to add a first floor bedroom to my parents’ home. On additions, his designs are sympathetic to what’s already there—I often hear “you’d never know.” I have recommended Jerry to many friends, and all speak highly of his work. Can’t recommend more highly.

We hired Jerry Bruno to design a full redevelopment of the interior and exterior of our house. We chose Jerry for his attention to details, his passion for design and his vision. We could not have been more pleased with our choice. Jerry designed a beautiful house, produced extremely detailed drawings allowing us to get comprehensive bids, helping us to ultimately come in on budget, and was a problem solver as the inevitable construction issues came up. Based on our experience and his portfolio, Jerry takes into account the existing character of the home and looks to come up with a design that matches the home. We would highly recommend Jerry for anyone looking for a creative and fitting design delivered with the highest standards of professionalism.

Jerry is a terrific architect and a wonderful person to work with. Easy to communicate with about design matters large and small, he's sensitive to cost concerns if they arise and always finds an elegant solution to any problem. We have worked with him on three different houses and wouldn't think of using anyone else.

Jerry was an absolute delight to work with. Some highlights of our experience: He was consistently EARLY in meeting deliverables. He held our hands through the process and made sure we understood exactly what he was doing, why he did it and what the costs would be. He was exceedingly thorough and made sure his designed aligned to our goals (and budget) for the space. He not only delivered the designs but helped connect with and interview contractors to do the work.

Jerry Bruno not only posses the highest level of architectural expertise, but is also a problem solver, quick thinker and responder, professional and dedicated to his clients. We have worked with Jerry to re-design the outside of our home, had him come up with solutions for our indoor hallway project that are highly functional and simultaneously beautiful, and most recently had him assist us with a very quick turn around project for an outdoor swim spa in our yard. His attention to detail, honesty, reliability and superior work ethic make him our first choice architect for any project at our home. Most importantly, Jerry is a pleasure to work with and truly one of the kindest human beings we have ever had the pleasure of working with.

We knew we had the right architect during our first meeting with Jerry Bruno. Almost immediately, Jerry understood our vision for a substantial renovation and addition to our 60-year old Cape Cod style home. Our goal was to modernize and enlarge our home, but most importantly we wanted the final result to appear as if it was the original house design, and not just look like a large box was tacked on to the rear of the house. Jerry’s insight, skill, and experience were instrumental in accomplishing all of our objectives. Through the creative use of flying gabels, a unique dormer concept, innovative window trim and other features, Jerry’s design and comprehensive construction plans turned our vision into reality. In what could have been a very difficult process, Jerry’s focus on detail, guidance on construction issues, and overall dedication to our project was invaluable. We highly recommend Jerry Bruno.

We loved working with Jerry. He did our mudroom/porch addition. He did a wonderful job. Our house is 120 years old and Jerry made it all look seamless. He is a joy to work with and we highly recommend him. I would use him again.

Jerry was a godsend to us. Unhappy with the first architect's plans we obtained, Jerry designed our dream kitchen. A skilled and passionate professional with a keen sense for both aesthetics and functionality, Jerry, after meeting with us and listening to our thoughts, prepared detailed architectural plans that addressed our needs and desires and far exceeded our expectations. He also worked seamlessly with our contractor throughout the construction process. Highly recommend

I have had the absolute pleasure of working with Jerry on multiple projects. He is creative and professional and his attention to detail is astonishing. I could not imagine working with anyone else on any future projects. We are so happy with how he transformed our boring ranch into a creative, well constructed family home. In my opinion, there is not a better architect in the state of NJ.

We have had the pleasure of working with Jerry Bruno on a few projects on both personal and professional levels. His eye for architectural detail is outstanding. He is insightful, knowledgeable and is receptive to his clients needs. His dedication to his craft is reflected in the quality of the finished product. He is a delight to work with and is a true professional. We highly recommend him.

Great experience from start to finish. Jerry is an exceptional talent who produces great design to fit the homeowners needs as well as a clear blueprint for any builder. Honest, and trustworthy, Jerry comes with the highest recommendation !

We hired Jerry to draw up some plans for a bathrooom addition to our Queen Anne Victorian. He came up with some great ideas and provided us with the plans on schedule as promised. We were very impressed with his knowledge, experience and attention to detail. The project went as smooth as can be, and Jerry went above and beyond taking the time to answer any questions my contractor had. We look forward to working with him again. Highly reccomended!

Jerry redesigned our entire home while thoughtfully taking into account all of our concerns and wishes. Once the designs were finalized, Jerry continued to guide us through the entire remodeling process. He made sure we were well prepared for our meeting with the zoning board to have multiple variances approved. He provided a list of contractors to interview, and he continued to visit the house throughout the entire remodel to track progress and answer any questions. Jerry’s attention to detail in his drawings ensured that the project was executed per the plan with minimal deviation. We are extremely pleased with our forever home and would gladly work with him again.

We feel so lucky to have found Jerry for this project. We had a high level vision for combining two bedrooms to make a master suite but had no idea on the possibility. Jerry provided us with three options and made better use of the space than we ever could have thought of ourselves. He was incredibly responsive and professional to work with. His attention to detail was impressive and his thorough workmanship was appreciated. He guided us through the entire process from design through contractor selection. As new homeowners we were overwhelmed by the prospect of this project but Jerry’s guidance made it all seem manageable. Thanks Jerry!!

I could not be happier with having Jerry as our architect. When I first started looking for an architect I was apprehensive, worried about finding someone that was trustworthy and that would do a great job. Upon meeting Jerry, I knew that he would do just that. Jerry is kind and earnest, something that almost immediately comes across. This was the first time that I was having a renovation done and knew very little about the construction and architectural process. Jerry walked me through it step by step with patience, helping me to feel comfortable throughout the entire process. Furthermore, Jerry's ability as an architect is second to none. His execution of our plans were perfect and he completed each stage promptly. While looking for contractors, every one of them had such positive things to say about Jerry once hearing that we were working with him. One even went as far as to say that he's the best they know in the business and that they've never seen such detailed and precise plans; that he makes the contractor's job so much easier. Overall, I could not recommend Jerry enough. He is a superb architect and a great person, who makes the process as seamless as possible. I will certainly be using his services again should I require an architect in the future!

Working with Jerry Bruno was a fantastic experience from start to finish! He is not only highly skilled but also super personable and approachable, making collaboration seamless and enjoyable. His attention to detail is exceptional; Jerry thought through every aspect and was on top of every stage of the project. He kept us informed, made sure timelines were met, and provided invaluable guidance that brought our vision to life. Highly recommend to anyone looking for an architect who combines expertise with a truly great client experience!

Jerry was an absolute pleasure to work with! His ideas and attention to detail were fantastic and his turnaround time with drawings was impressive.! Every question or idea we had was addressed and thoroughly explained as to why it would or wouldn't work in our space. He gave thought to every detail and how the space would function and because all the details were addressed in his drawings, our building process was extremely smooth. We would definitely work with him again

We engaged Jerry to design a renovation for our home that converted a screened porch to a year-round living space. Jerry was great to work with and we could not be happier with the final result. Because the plans Jerry prepared were explicit and comprehensive, we got a solid bid from our contractor and there no unknowns and we didn’t need to deal with extra costs. We’re enjoying the new space so much, and spending so much time in it, that I’m thinking to ask Jerry for plans to demolish the rooms we don’t use any more (LOL).

Jerry came highly recommended and after engaging him for our garage renovation I can see why. He was professional, thorough, accessible and extremely easy to work with throughout the project. It’s a joy to work with somebody who not only does excellent work but is also just a pleasant person to be around. I could not recommend his services more and hope we have the opportunity to work with him again!
