My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Ellen (principal) at Dew Design and her team turned our ugly duckling 1964 split level into a diamond. She brought elegance and sophistication to our home and neighborhood. The team was so easy to work with and respectful of the budget. She provided ideas that I never would have thought of. Her professionalism is outstanding!! She understands your concerns and always finds creative solutions. Although, a whole house renovation is a lengthy and expensive process, I couldn’t have done it without Ellen and her team. She made it so easy and seamless. Thank you Dew Design and team for helping transform our house into our forever home!!!

I work as a subcontractor for Ellen and the DEW Design team. I have seen behind the scenes how Ellen and her team turn their clients dreams into reality. They are true professions and creative thinkers. I would highly recommend their services!
