If you could see the quality of the framing inside the walls you'd be impressed. The Moores are detail oriented, use the best products and techniques and take pride in each house they build. Then once the job is complete, they stand behind It. We are very pleased with our building experience! **★★★★★ — donodoc, Oct. 2016** > Unlike most people, we had no idea what we wanted when we went to Moore Designs to design and build our new home. We had lost our old home to a fire. They took us through the whole process, from looking at our property (and demolition), to planning the home with their architect, though all the product selections, and then through the whole construction process. They were amazing and made the whole project exciting. Everything was done with unbelievable care and quality. And we love our new home! **★★★★★ — treymanl, Sept. 2016** > We researched a few local builders as our plan was to build a sport-court/rec-area within our home that required detailed construction beneath the floor and sub-floor level, (20 foot ceilings). Dave and Lisa Moore have extensive building and design experience and were able to share multiple examples of gym/basketball courts they have designed for other customers. In addition, we still wanted our home to stay close to a moderate budget, be spacious, yet have an overall modest/ranch feel.(We call it a "3-story ranch") They accomplished all the above and more. They are meticulous and detailed oriented with strong working relationships with other local/Milwaukee businesses. Their architect works with clients closely and makes adjustments according to the clients' needs. Their expediters and other staff members are incredibly organized and professional. They stayed true to their time-table and our budget and we moved into our new home according to the date set on our initial contract, less than 1 year from the start of construction. Lisa and Dave Moore are great people, they work as a team and care deeply about the quality of their work. We are highly satisfied with the outcome and would recommend the Moore's without hesitation. **Comment from Moore Designs Inc:** > Thank you so much for taking the time to provide a review of our company. We sincerely appreciate the fact you chose MDI to design and build your family's new home! It was a pleasure working with the both of you both during design as well as construction. We look forward to seeing the place once you are settled! **★★★★★ — Patsy Ellsworth, Sept. 2016** > We are in the process of building a large, extremely detailed custom home. We were lucky enough to find the right builder, Moore Designs, Inc. (Dave and Lisa Moore). They are amazing to work with and have not missed one detail in our home. As well, their foreman on the job is equally as detailed and they have all been a real pleasure to work with over the last couple of years during the building process. And i can also say the same about the sub-contractors they have hired. They even question if something doesn't look right (down to the grout color) and speak up before moving ahead. We couldn't ask for better people to work with. I guarantee that you won't regret hiring them for your home construction project because there is no one else better at what they do! **Comment from Moore Designs Inc:** > Thank you for the taking the time to review us Patsy. David and I as well as our entire staff are honored you decided to move forward with MDI on the construction of your new home. We have enjoyed working with you and your design team and look forward to wrapping up your project in the coming months. Thanks again! **★★★★★ — jpj\_eichenseer, Sept. 2015** > Thank you Dave and Lisa for your guidance throughout our entire building process. We have a beautiful custom home to share with family and friends. We look around and marvel at the workmanship, the attention to detail, the quality and, most importantly, the feeling of warmth and charm upon entering our front door. How inspirational it must be for the two of you, plus you staff, to feel the sense of accomplishment as you take a vision and create a masterpiece. Wow...what a reputation to admire. Thank you again for listening, for moral support, for all your acts of kindness, for getting us through the snags, for all the laughter and for celebrating with us from ground-breaking to move-in day... **Comment from Moore Designs Inc:** > Thank you for your thoughtful review of Moore Designs, jpj. We appreciate your taking the time to post this to our Houzz page. It was a pleasure working with you both through the new home design and construction as well as the lower level remodeling most recently. All the best...as always....Lisa **★★★★★ — User, July 2015** > Moore Designs built us a house several years ago. I cannot say enough about their company... top notch, personable, creative and unbelievable quality while staying within budget and an acceptable time frame. They build your home as if it were theirs. Amazingly talented! **★★★★★ — pegschrader, June 2015** > Exceptional custom designer and builder. Highly responsive and ethical. Built the house of our dreams. No regrets and no hesitation to recommend Moore Designs for your project. **★★★★★ — dcfroun, June 2015** > Moore Designs deserves a ten star rating in our book!!!!! We are building our third home with them. Building with Moore Designs is a pleasure. They take care of everything! They are attune to every detail. From the home's footings to the inside decor, no stone is left unturned to build a quality home exactly to the clients wishes. All their subcontractors are top notch professionals. Lisa Moore is very knowledgeable and helpful in guiding clients with color and other design selections. David Moore and Lisa, their entire in-house staff, and, all their tradesmen, are amiable persons with great communication skills and work ethics. Documents are generated for all aspects of the project from bidding amounts to a step by step outline of what choices the clients need to make in a timely fashion - i.e. flooring, plumbing. You couldn't find a better contractor to work with to build your home! **★★★★★ — peter7337, June 2015** > I hired Moore Design to help design and build our home on Big Cedar Lake. We worked with Lisa Moore and Dave Moore on the initial design. We had already had architectural drawings by another firm, and Moore Design help change the design to make a better home. Moore Construction then constructed the home. We worked with many of the employees of the firm while in the construction phase and found them to be diligent, professional and knowledgeable of their respective duties and tasks. > > The whole process - design through occupancy - was well run by the Moore's. Any problems were resolved quickly and within budget. Dave & Lisa have many years of experience which was evident in the design and construction process. Their suggestions were always the best. > > If we were to do this again, Dave & Lisa would be the ones to do it. **★★★★★ — bellhuffy, June 2015** > Moore designs built my home 5 yrs ago . The commitment to quailty and to my project was outstanding! Lisa and Dave left no stone unturned (pardon the pun) and absolutely exceeded my expectations both in design and craftsmanship! Five years later I know I can call Dave or Lisa and get the kind of service most other companies only talk about. I cannot wait to build again with MDI. **★★★★★ — gearint, June 2015** > Moore Designs Inc. truly is just that: MORE!!! They delivered Moore than we expected, which was/is a very high bar. Having been an interior designer for 16 years and having the experience of working with numerous builders and remodelers, I can sincerely state that their product (our gorgeous home) and their service is second to none. > > If in doubt about the 100% accuracy of this statement, just contact a few of their clients or ALL of their clients. We've not yet run into any client of theirs who doesn't share this same opinion. > > Lastly, we've been in our home for almost 7 years now and it remains as perfect as day one. When minor issues or questions arise, Dave or Lisa respond to our call within hours. Who else would provide this kind of service for a 7 year old home? **Comment from Moore Designs Inc:** > Thank you for your positive feedback! it was a pleasuring working together to design and build your beautiful new home. Your interest in combining reclaimed materials with new made your home amazing and unique. We are happy your are still pleased and satisfied. Thanks again! **★★★★★ — diji1214, June 2015** > Moore Designs built a custom lake house for us in 2010-2011. Dave Moore was very knowledgable about building regulations on lakes & was able to provide all that we wanted in a house. He was accessible at all times & able to quickly solve any problems that arose (which were very few). His staff was very professional & adept at their various jobs, & the house was built in a timely manner. We are extremely pleased with our beautiful home and recommend > Moore Designs without hesitation. ## Selected projects - [Exteriors](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/exteriors-pj-vj~837892) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 42 - Description: Exterior photos of our homes. - [Kitchens](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/kitchens-pj-vj~837891) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 21 - [Living Rooms](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/living-rooms-pj-vj~841037) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 21 - [Entertainment Areas](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/entertainment-areas-pj-vj~841044) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 29 - [Entrances and Staircases](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/entrances-and-staircases-pj-vj~841048) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 20 - [Dining and Eating](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/dining-and-eating-pj-vj~841049) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 11 - [Bedrooms](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/bedrooms-pj-vj~841052) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 16 - [Bathrooms](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/bathrooms-pj-vj~837893) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 23 - [Studies/Quiet Areas](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/studies-quiet-areas-pj-vj~841056) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 7 - Description: A selection of Studies and Quiet areas that we have built in our homes over the years. - [Miscellaneous Rooms](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/miscellaneous-rooms-pj-vj~841060) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 14 [See all 10 projects](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/design-build-firms/moore-designs-inc-pfvwus-pf~1291857529) ## Ideabooks - [Kilian, Remodel 2021](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/142889519/list/kilian-remodel-2021) — 2 ideas - [ABK Fireplace and Steel](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/140903568/list/abk-fireplace-and-steel) — 5 ideas - [Tomsicek Cabinetry](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/132271397/list/tomsicek-cabinetry) — 23 ideas - [Kil Recroom](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/124383668/list/kil-recroom) — 4 ideas - [Burow Front Door](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/128054521/list/burow-front-door) — 14 ideas - [MOR Lighting](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/118593989/list/mor-lighting) — 127 ideas - [La Macchia Ideas](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/122826062/list/la-macchia-ideas) — 6 ideas - [MOR Fireplaces](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/118594269/list/mor-fireplaces) — 23 ideas - [Timm Bar](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/77854613/list/timm-bar) — 23 ideas - [GJS Idea Book](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/90369629/list/gjs-idea-book) — 9 ideas [See all 10 ideabooks](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/users/mooredesigns1707) ## Community Q&A **Q: Where do you get the tiles for the floor?** *(in Photo Questions)* I love the tiles in this floor in the picture. Where do you get the tiles? I love the patterned border. Where do you get the border tiles and the rest of the tiles for the floor? A: This home was built in 2014/2015. The tile materials were from Artistic Tile -- out of Chicago. **Q: Can I use your image on my blog page? Thanks** *(in Photo Questions)* Can I use your image on my blog page? Thanks A: You may use it if you give our company the design and construction credit :-) **Q: spancrete lights** *(in Photo Questions)* hello. I was wondering what lights you used in the spancrete area of this gym? Any details are greatly appreciated. Thanks A: Hi there: The lighting is LED panels. This project was done quite some time ago so technology has changed since. LED panels are much slimmer now than they used to be. You should be able to find LED panels on line easily enough :-) **Q: Love this!** *(in Photo Questions)* Can you please share this vanity color? I realize it is custom, but I am trying to renovate my bathroom exactly like this and am struggling with the color ! Appreciate any help you may have A: BENJAMIN MOORE OC-13 SOFT CHAMOIS SATIN FINISH **Q: Chandeliers and sconces** *(in Photo Questions)* Where can I find the light fixtures Also I’m interested in knowing where to find the towel rings A: Sorry my phone did that. Painted finish on walls 😊 **Q: What is the floor made of?** *(in Photo Questions)* I would like to know what the floor is made up and where I would find it in a store A: The floor is a herringbone, mesh mounted, mosaic marble tile. I believe the color was Calcatta. I'm not certain where you live but you can get the material from almost any tile store. Maybe just print it out and tell them you're looking for a herringbone, mesh mounted, mosaic marble or stone tile as seen in this picture. --- *Source: Houzz professional profile.
