Greg and Jake were great communicators, easy to work with, hired quality sub contractors/craftsmen, and produced a fantastic overall project. I would not hesitate to use them on future remodeling/build projects. Highly recommended!!! **★★★★★ — Creative Concepts & Design, LLC, Jan. 2018** > I have had the please of working with Greg and I am most impressed with his character. First and foremost he is open & honest. It is easy to see Greg takes great pride in providing a level of quality that is hard to find in the construction these days. Being a professional in the construction industry myself, I can say with great confidence I would recommend his services to my closest friends and family. If quality and character is paramount look no further. **★★★★★ — Greg Pasley, June 2017** > Greg Rothers and his team did outstanding work on our whole house renovation. Greg and Matt worked closely with us during the initial design phase, listening to our interests and concerns while giving great suggestions along the way. We were struggling with moving our main floor laundry to an upper level, and their ideas and suggestions unlocked new possibilities for the spaces considered. > During construction, their project manager, crews and subcontractors were conscientious and did excellent work. The craftsmanship was truly top notch, and gave us exactly what we were looking for. > Overall, Greg and his team kept their commitments and delivered a project that far exceeded our expectations while working closely with us along the way. I recommend Rothers Design Build wholeheartedly for anyone considering design-build work in the Kansas City area. **★★★★★ — Jill Bray, Jan. 2017** > We had Rothers Design/Build build us a house from the ground up. After discussing style and a few stipulations, we just sat back and watched what Greg and Matt came up with. Wow! These guys are brilliant! The house turned out way beyond what we had imagined. The care and craftsmanship is evident throughout. Greg's crew and sub-contractors are all people you could be friends with. We had three sets of neighbors (even the disgruntled neighbor!) go out of their way to tell us how impressed they were with Greg's operation. As the house began to take shape, I started writing down all the comments passers-by would offer. Two of them sum up our experience: From a retirement-age utility inspector, "I've been in every house in Kansas City. This one is the best." And a UPS guy, "You guys architects?" No, but we know some really great ones - Greg Rothers and Matt Berislavich! **★★★★★ — Debra Ryan, Jan. 2017** > My husband and I worked with Greg Rothers and Rothers Design/Build on two separate renovation projects at our first home, and then hired Greg to build our current house. The first renovation was an addition to add a large master bedroom and bath, and the second was complete modification of our basement which required structural work to raise the ceiling height. The design and craftsmanship of our new home is award winning (Contemporary category award in KC Homes). Extremely professional, very pleasant to deal with, our house was done on time, and within budget. Great custom work - highly recommend. We've used for 3 major projects, and would use again! **★★★★★ — sarah\_hoffmann43, Dec. 2016** > Rothers Design Build constructed our energy efficient home in Weston, helped to construct buildings for our farm business and built out our retail shop. We have returned to use the company again and again for our building and design needs because we know we can rely on their integrity, honesty and building expertise. **★★★★★ — lnstonecipher, Dec. 2016** > We hired the very talented Architect/Contractor Greg Rothers to design and build our beautiful Old- World European home. The challenge > was how to build s house with relatively few straight corners. There's hardly a 90-degree edge to be found from the walls, to the woodwork, to the very high ceilings. Soaring above > the Hearth room and Kitchen is a an immense patterned brick barrel vault. > Spectular! The theme of this luxury home is in the details, which is featured in the 2015 issue of > KC ( Kansas City Magazine). You will see a stunning winding staircase with medallion inserts on the custom stair handrail. The beautiful Emperador marble adds personality to this sprawling 6000 foot square home. > Lighting, of course, was key in every > room, especially in the gallery! Mr. > Rothers is a very unique designer/builder. He's service minded, > he's a perfectionist, and he has a very loyal crew. We highly recommend him. **★★★★★ — bgillcrist, March 2016** > I needed to add a small Laundry Room/Mud Room/ Pantry. My house is over 100 years old and I wanted the finished product from the outside to look as though it had always been there. Rother's Design/Build did the work and it looks fantastic. I am an Architect and the quality of their work is as good as I have ever seen anywhere. Their price was very reasonable and they did the work in a timely manner. The crew assigned to my project was incredibly professional, skilled and pleasant to work with. **★★★★★ — shaneric1, Oct. 2014** > Rothers Design/Build added onto our existing home and completely remodeled the rest of the house. We were out of the house for 7 months during this renovation. Greg, his crew, and sub-contractors were creative and yet budget conscience. They were courteous and prompt. And they gave us the house that we hired them to design/build/remodel. ## Selected projects - [Riverside Retro](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/riverside-retro-pj-vj~5947651) - Location: Riverside, MO - Photos: 16 - Description: Designed to appeal to a variety of lifestyle stages, this 2,050 square foot, 4 bedroom, 3-1/2 bath mid-century modern style house offers a modern floor plan for entertaining with light-filled vaulted living spaces.
