**★★★★★ — HU-59432447, Aug. 2025**

> Therese and Katlyn are top notch! From the beginning quote to the design and all the way thru construction they were amazing. We were updated thru every step of the process and when something went wrong or there was a setback, Therese and Katlyn were there to get us right back on track. I will recommend Therese DuBravac Design Rebuild Remodel to anyone who needs work done!

**★★★★★ — nszapucki, Dec. 2024**

> Therese comes to your home a stranger, and when project is complete, she leaves as a friend. We had a small half bath upstairs, she was able rearranged it to fit a full size shower. The kitchen was gutted, and now we have a beautiful period appropriate remodeled kitchen. She didn't mind when we'd add jobs, as she works very closely with all the contractors.

**★★★★★ — shellycbuchanan, Nov. 2024**

> Working with Therese on home projects big and small is always productive as well as being loads of fun. Therese is an amazing designer and builder. She has the art and science of working with people and their spaces on lock.  She's a great listener and asks all the right questions to support homing in all the look, feel, usability, and features of a desired space, taking all the time necessary to make the all right things happen on time. To say the least, we will continue to turn to Therese for all our future home remodeling projects.

**★★★★★ — Alisa, June 2024**

> Therese and her team managed a complete residing, painting and roof repair project in the home we purchased last October. Her design skills are amazing and we love how beautiful our home looks now. Her project management skills meant that our project was completed on time and on budget. We definitely recommend Therese DuBravac Design Build Remodeling.

**★★★★★ — Marcia Wood, April 2024**

> We have worked with Therese on several big remodel projects in the past and embarked on a complete makeover of a townhouse in Portland with her this past year.  Bottom line: she is fantastic.  She is creative, energetic, organized, cheerful and responsive.  She listened to what we wanted and then came up with ideas, over and over again, that were often even better than what we'd hoped for.  She works tirelessly and we are thrilled with the end result.  Would highly recommend her and we will definitely work with her again if the need arises.

**★★★★★ — Scott D, Dec. 2023**

> As a graduate architect, I am glad I contacted Therese to do a number of projects around my house this past year. She had designed my kitchen in years past, so I knew what a treat it is to work with her. In these more recent projects, we added a solar array and battery wall, replaced the roof, designed and installed an additional cabinet to match the existing kitchen cabinetry, and made impressive updates on a screened porch to make it more functional and attractive, among other improvements. I also like that she does not try to do cookie cutter responses to the design program. Therese is knowledgable and works with top notch trades people to get the job done right. She is responsive to my concerns and is very attentive to detail. Her fees and the cost of my projects were substantially more reasonable than when I have used another premium contractor in the past. I'm a little 'house poor' right now, but I'm already dreaming with Therese about some future projects.

## Community Q&A

**Q: Bathroom faucets-big chain home stores vs "plumbing" supplier** *(in Design Dilemma)*

I am getting ready to begin a remodel project on our Master Bathroom with a great remodeling company.  As I look at possible sink faucets and showerheads, I'm wondering if there is a benefit to paying extra at a fancy "plumbing" store.  Specifically, I have looked at Delta's Victorian faucet line in Oil-rubbed bronze.  It seems places like Lowe's sell my model for around $150 less than the same model number at the fancy store.  I know the fancy store sales people like to say that the big stores sell an inferior product.  But if the model number is EXACTLY the same, is there really a difference?  I don't want to put all this money into a remodel project and then put in lower quality faucets, but if there truly is no difference I'd sure like to save some money.  Thoughts????

A: Go purchase two plumbing items & then dismantle them. You will see the difference. It’s in the internal parts. Plastic vs brass. I’ve had clients not believe me in the past. I’ve told them to go purchase one from HD & I’ll buy the “same” one at a professional manufacturer. Once they touch, feel & dismantled them they understand the difference. The plastic parts don’t last as long & you can often not get replacement parts. Ive experienced this in my own purchase for my house as well as spoke with many plumbers over the yrs who see it too & won’t warrant the item. The cost of a plumber to come replace a faucet, toilet etc is far greater than the price difference in any fixture. You really do get what you pay for!
