After finally deciding a design/build company was best for us, we went with Gordon Reese Design Build. The design phase of the project has just been completed and it has been so easy for us. > Our designer, Johanne, shopped with us for stones, lighting, tiles, shower fixtures, sink, etc. She was knowledgeable about design and materials and guided us from making mistakes in our choices and offered design suggestions that I hadn't even considered but liked. She was patient with us changing our minds and making design changes. > The communication with GRDB using their online tool CoConstruct was efficient and important as changes and questions were logged, acknowledged and read by everyone involved in our project. This lessened the chances of miscommunication which can happen when details are only verbally communicated. > I could go back and see every message sent between us and GRDB regarding the project. > During the design phase, we had meetings in our home with Gordon and trades people like the cabinet maker, tile guy, plumber, electrician, project lead and project manager. Everyone could see what they needed to do, took measurements and answered all our questions. > I was very satisfied with GRDB and the design phase of our project. I'm confident the construction phase of our project will proceed just as well too. **★★★★★ — Darlene Davidge, Sept. 2023** > Our kitchen renovation completed by GRDB turned out better than we could have imagined. We loved the design process and appreciate the suggestions made to us for colors and design aspects that we had never even heard of. The entire team was a pleasure to work with, and the communication was excellent with quick responses to our questions. Clean up was done quickly and the entire project was managed professionally and went more smoothly than we expected. We feel like our new kitchen transforms the entire ambiance of our home. Thank you so much to the Gordon Reese Design Build Team and their trade partners. We are delighted that we chose you for this project. **Comment from Gordon Reese Design Build:** > We're truly grateful for your wonderful review! Your kind words inspire us to continually strive for excellence in every project we undertake. Thank you for entrusting us with creating your dream space, and we're here to serve you anytime you need us! - Gordon Reese Design Build **★★★★★ — Tandrima, Dec. 2022** > Overall, a good experience. No surprises, they deliver what they promise. The regular updates provided by them was a plus point. Thanks to Tim, Diego, Paul & Steven for a job well done. **Comment from Gordon Reese Design Build:** > Tandrima, Thank you for your kind review. We hope you enjoy your dream space for many years to come. - Gordon Reese Design Build **★★★★ — nmbzho, Nov. 2022** > We worked with GRDB on a home remodel which included a great room addition, kitchen remodel, and updating other areas of our house. Gordon and his team were very professional and responsive throughout our entire project and made themselves available whenever a discussion was needed. He uses an online tool CoConstruct to keep us informed of progress, budgeting and general communication throughout the project. GRDB provided full services (engineering plans, demo, construction, finishes), which was a key reason that I selected them. The project took 8 months and today, we are truly enjoying our new forever spaces. Thank you, GRBD! **Comment from Gordon Reese Design Build:** > M & N > > Thank you for taking the time to share your remodeling experience and for having our team over for a project completion celebration. > Our team enjoyed the challenges in creating your amazing spaces. > > Enjoy > > Gordon Reese **★★★★★ — Diana W, Oct. 2022** > Gordon Reese Design Build was fantastic to work with on our large project! We remodeled our entire kitchen, raised the ceiling, converted part of our garage into a laundry and office, redid our entire master bathroom, and replaced all the flooring. Throughout the process, the GRDB team was professional, communicated clearly, addressed our concerns and worked with us to resolve project challenges. The project was made more challenging by the COVID-19 pandemic's affects on logistics and scheduling, but GRDB minimized disruptions. > > We interviewed 3 other companies for this project. While GRDB was the only one to charge us for the initial consultation, the GRDB analysis was the most thorough and accurate. Gordon covered the small details that were important to us that other companies forgot about. > > We wish we had learned how to escalate an emergency with the GRDB team earlier in the project. Our air conditioning was accidentally disabled over a hot weekend while we were still living on the property throughout the construction. They were prompt and apologetic on Monday after we talked to our construction lead. It was also important to for us to be persistent with project issues, we weren't satisfied with how our shower was completed and we ended up escalating to the GRDB construction lead where our issue was resolved. > > Given the complexity of the project, we were very happy to have worked with GRDB. We would definitely work with GRDB again for another large home project! **Comment from Gordon Reese Design Build:** > Diana > > Thank you for your detailed review and constructive feedback. > > Our whole team enjoyed working with you and Andrew to create your wonderful spaces. > > Gordon Reese **★★★★★ — Murray Lampert Design, Build, Remodel, April 2022** > I have been meeting with Gordon Reese regularly and I can attest to his attention to detail, quality and integrity. If you are considering design - build home remodeling or construction, you are in good hands with Gordon and the Gordon Reese Design Build team. They handle everything from conceptual design, architectural plans, interior design, building permits and project management. **★★★★★ — HU-757051675, Nov. 2021** > We recently had our fireplace updated and the two bathrooms remodeled by Gordon Reese Design Build. It took two and half months to get everything done. The result is stunning. It's easy to work with the team who does everything for us. We don't have to lift a finger. Johanne, the designer is very resourceful, patient, and she knows all the materials in and out. I relied on her a lot, to tell the truth. Paul, the foreman is also easy to work with. He keeps open communication with us on a daily basis. I'd recommend Gordon Reese Design Build to anyone who plans to do a house remodeling job. > > \- Mabel and Walter Liang **Comment from Gordon Reese Design Build:** > Mabel and Walter > > It was a pleasure to assist you from design through finish of your 2 bathrooms and fireplace projects. > > Thank you for the opportunity to create your dream space. > > Gordon Reese **★★★★★ — Mariska, March 2021** > Gordon Reese and his team were wonderful from design to making our dream kitchen a reality. They also did a good job preparing us for the remodel and made the whole process as comfortable as possible. They were always available when we had any questions or concerns. We highly recommend Gordon Reese Design Build. We love our kitchen! **Comment from Gordon Reese Design Build:** > Mariska, thank you so much for sharing your remodeling experience, we're eternally grateful that you and your family are loving your new dream space! It was a pleasure to work with you and we're very glad you feel the same. Please don't hesitate to contact us if you need anything, we hope you continue to love your space for many years to come! :0) **★★★★★ — nopool, Dec. 2020** > The scope of our project was to keep the same footprint in the kitchen and family room but replace the cabinetry, countertops, backsplash and fireplace surround. The design process was superb! Invaluable input and selection process made painless by the guidance from the designer. > GRDB uses exceptionally skilled trades people such as the cabinet-maker - our cabinets look like fine furniture. The refinished hardwood floors are stunning. > Prompt attention was given to fine tune touch up requests. The job was not considered completed until we were completely satisfied. > In this day of Covid, care was taken to remain compliant from beginning to end of our project. We felt secure living in our home while work was being done. **Comment from Gordon Reese Design Build:** > Thank you so much for sharing your experience, we greatly appreciated the opportunity to work with you to create your dream space! We hope you two and little Flickie are relaxing and enjoying the wonderful new spaces in your home together during the holidays and coming new year. Please don't hesitate to ask if you need anything else from us! :0) **★★★★★ — Sarah Camera, Nov. 2020** > We worked with Gordon and his team for a complete remodel of our late 1960's kitchen, and we could not be more thrilled with the process or results. It was a true pleasure working with them! > > Gordon really listened to us from the very beginning so we were able to work within our budget. His scope of work was so well-defined that there were really no surprises along the way; any surprises we had were related to us being in an older house with work done by the prior owners, and his team was able to remedy those issues in a timely and efficient manner. > > The designer on our team was amazing - from the 3D renderings to the flawless paint color selection to the suggestion of particular design features that we now absolutely love - the importance of having a skilled designer on your team for your kitchen remodel cannot be understated. The project management and construction staff are also really unmatched in terms of professionalism. A kitchen remodel can be very disruptive, but with Gordon's team we always knew exactly what was going to be happening when (thanks to the Gantt charts his team prepared and the near daily communication with the Project Managers). Gordon's team is by-the-books and doesn't cut corners. We've seen other remodeled kitchens in homes nearby, and you can really tell the higher quality workmanship of Gordon's team. > > We've now lived with our new kitchen for two years, and there's no doubt in our minds that Gordon and his team were the right choice! **Comment from Gordon Reese Design Build:** > Sarah, thank you so much for your fantastic feedback! We strive to make your remodeling process as simplistic and stress-free as possible. Thank you for the opportunity to transform your kitchen into your ideal living space, we're so very glad you're continuing to enjoy it after all this time! :0) **★★★★★ — Me, Nov. 2020** > I cannot say enough positive things about Gordon Reese Design Build. Gordon helped us to update our 1970’s kitchen into our dream kitchen and living area, and turned a poorly structured window into a beautiful picture window that provided us with a view of Mt. Diablo. I’m extremely satisfied with all of their work. > Project management support – EXCELLENT! > They did a fantastic job of keeping us informed and answering all of our ongoing questions. > Professional/skilled contractors – EXCELLENT! > In addition to their build expertise, their prep, cleanup and safety standards were very impressive > Design – EXCELLENT! > Gordon’s architect and designer was absolutely fantastic. > Friendly service – I love the whole team!! **Comment from Gordon Reese Design Build:** > Patti, thank you so much for your shining review, it was such a pleasure to work with you. We hope you continue to enjoy your dream space for years to come! :0) **★★★★★ — Marlene Baird, Sept. 2019** > Gordon Reese Design and Build helped make our dream space come true. They are professional and listen to what you want. As all construction projects go, when things don't go according to plan, the entire team is right on it to make things right. The team felt like family! We love our new kitchen. **Comment from Gordon Reese Design Build:** > Thank you for the kind words. We are so happy you are enjoying your new space. ## Selected projects - [Dazzling House Remodel](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/dazzling-house-remodel-pj-vj~6430711) - Location: Walnut Creek, CA - Photos: 18 - Description: A stunning redesign of a traditional California rancher home, complete with remodelled master bathroom, kitchen, family room, dining room, living room, front entryway, and back porch.

Porcelain? A: Hi Mary - We used the following wall tiles and grout: Walls: Calcutta Natural 12x25 Grout Bostik Silver Bullet (Epoxy) Happy remodeling! Gordon Reese **Q: Thickness of shower glass?** *(in Photo Questions)* Hi there - gorgeous shower!! Can you tell me how thick the glass is? I am trying to do a center door with two side panels like this and my contractor is telling me I have to have a metal header across the top. A: Thank you for your kind words! The glass we used for this shower is 3/8 inch thick, and we completed the project 9 years ago with no issues since. It’s possible to achieve a center door with two side panels without a metal header, depending on the design and structural support. I recommend discussing different options with your contractor to ensure both stability and the clean look you're aiming for. Let me know if you have any other questions! Happy Remodeling **Q: how high is roof beam off the ground** *(in Photo Questions)* Need to know height of roof beam off the ground A: 10 feet to bottom of beam. Hope this helps :) **Q: what is the dimension of the shower?** *(in Photo Questions)* Looking for multi function shower w dual shower heads A: I looked through our files and can't easily find the dimensions (it's from 2015). If you want to have a call with Gordon to talk about your project, you can sign up at www.gordonreese.com and click on the link at the top right that says "Schedule Consultation." We also offer monthly seminars where you can learn about remodels, if you think that could help you. Sorry for the late response on this. Click here for our Website **Q: Backsplash** *(in Photo Questions)* Can you please tell me the name of the backsplash Thank you A: Thank you for your inquiry. Here are the tile specifications: Glazzio Westminster in Friday linen, WM774 Gray linen backpainted glass large mosaic, tile size 2 x 6 mesh is 11.74 x 12 inch We purchased from ProSource Good luck with your project! **Q: Finishing wood?** *(in Photo Questions)* Hi there, just curious what you use to finish this wood when used for something like an outdoor shower so that it holds up. Thanks A: Thank you for your question. We used redwood for this shower enclosure at the client's request. Teak is the best outdoor wood for long term. There are a variety of different finishes for redwood, like Penofin. Your local paint store can answer your specific questions for your situation. --- *Source: Houzz professional profile.
