Most importantly they delivered a very high quality remodel on budget. I would highly recommend them to anyone wanting to do a remodel. **★★★★★ — Gregg & Kathy Kuehn, Dec. 2020** > An excellent company to work with. Came up with very creative design options and really listened to us. Excellent communication throughout the project. The subcontractors they use are all top quality. Highly recommended. **Comment from Fein Design:** > Thank you Gregg & Kathy! You were a pleasure to work with as well! **★★★★★ — Cottage - complete first floor remodel, Dec. 2020** > We had a fabulous experience with Fein Design. Rory and his team presented a wide array of design ideas and worked with us to narrow them down and choose the best, most cost-effective approach. The Fein team are extremely responsive, reliable, and fun to work with. I recommend Fein Design without reservation! **★★★★★ — Brakefield Design Collective, May 2018** > I've now worked with Fein Design on several projects and I continue to be delighted with their skill and professionalism. As a designer I rely on their team to bring my ideas to life, care about the details and communicate openly. Fein Design knocks it out of the park on all of this. I look forward to more projects together! **Comment from Fein Design:** > Thanks Megan! We really enjoy working with you as well! **★★★★★ — Andrew Abrams, April 2015** > Rory and Catie at Fein Design have remodeled three of our houses now. Not only has Fein Design done a fabulous job designing the changes, they have project managed the entire process and procured all materials and fixtures needed to complete it. I highly recommend the Fein Design team for your next new home or home remodel. **★★★★★ — evegene, Nov. 2014** > Fein Design was referred to us by a General Contractor to design a new bathroom. Our Michelson Home has a 40+ year old small upstairs bathroom. We met with Rory at are home to show him the existing bathroom and explained our "needs and wants". Within in two days Rory was back at our house with his Designer Katie to measure the existing bathroom and adjoining rooms. Within two weeks we met at Fein Design's offices to review not one but six different design renderings. After selecting a final design they provided us with a complete set of Construction Documents. > > Final Thought: WOW! Fein Design, Rory and Katie, thought out-of-the-box and designed us a new larger bathroom and incorporated the surrounding rooms. **Comment from Fein Design:** > Thank you for your kind words! You were great to work with....can't wait to see the final pictures! **★★★★★ — jfroe, Nov. 2014** > Rory and his Fein Design Team took our "charming" 1950's English cottage and turned and updated our living spaces into a modern, warm and welcoming home. Gone are the knotty pines and outdated light natural wood tones. Rory melded our Fein design remodel/construct great room and kitchen project of 2003 creating an entire home that lives as one. Our master bath remodel is exquisite. Rory, Catie and the Fein Design independent contractors were great listeners and respectful artisans, allowing us to function during the construction process. Kudos to Rory and his team! **Comment from Fein Design:** > A good remodel helps with great clients too! Thank you for the opportunity to service you again! Cheers! **★★★★★ — karengodin, Nov. 2014** > Our selection of Rory and Catie of Fein Design to design and remodel our master bathroom was based on their reputation for high quality work and their excellent group of skilled craftsmen. We were not disappointed. We loved their superb communication and rapid response to every concern. It became clear to us as the project proceeded that Rory and Catie intended to exceed our expectations in every detail. Whether it was the cabinetry or the in floor heating system or the tile work time after time it turned out better than we anticipated. Through their efforts our dream for our master bathroom became a reality that we love and enjoy every day. **Comment from Fein Design:** > It was a pleasure working with you both! You had a beautiful vision of what you wanted, and we are happy we could be a part of that! **★★★★★ — Susan Miller, Nov. 2013** > We hired Fein Design to design and renovate our 40-year old kitchen. We were nervous about embarking on such a large project. However, Rory walked us through the steps, and we quickly became comfortable with proceeding with the designs he created. Rory suggested that we "bump out" our kitchen in order to accommodate the island we wanted. The price was reasonable, and in retrospect we are very happy that we listened to his suggestion. The sub-contractors were detail-oriented, professional and responsive; it is obvious that Rory has a positive working relationship with these tradesmen. The help we received from Rory's assistant was invaluable in terms of following up on details promptly and communicating often to answer any question we might have. Catie and Rory kept in touch with us daily to ensure that we knew the timetable, logistics and construction costs, so that there were few surprises. They exceed our expectations, and as a result, we have recommended Fein Design to several other friends who are considering remodeling projects. **Comment from Fein Design:** > Thank you for your patience to work with us through a kitchen remodel! > Living without a kitchen can be rough, but you were great to work with! Your project turned out amazing! **★★★★★ — richheimer6, Nov. 2013** > Fein Design met with us and subsequently and efficiently came up with plans for our new kitchen. They listened to our desires and stayed within our budget, all within a timely manner and a great attitude. **★★★★★ — lipske01, June 2013** > When we decided to update our home a friend suggested contacting Rory Palubiski of Fein Design in Mequon. He was the architect and construction manager of their beautiful home 10 years age. At our first meeting with Rory, we knew we had made the right decision. He was easy to talk with , encouraged our participation in the planning, was mindful of our budget, and offered interesting creative ideas. > > The quality of the workmanship of the people working with Rory is very profession. Many have worked with Rory for years and seem to understand Rory"s high expectations. During the bathroom remodel and interior modifications we were contacted daily by Rory or his staff to check on the day's progress. > > By removing a wall in the kitchen a good flow pattern was created between the kitchen, dining room, living room, and sun room. At Rory's suggestiion we kept our existing cupboards only adding new hardware. His cabinet maker made a 9 foot island matching the stain and style of the cupboards perfectly which added much needed storage space. > > The bathroom remodel and design are terrific. The shower area was made larger and a Thermasul package was installed. It features chromotherapy, aroma therapy, build in speakers, body jets. and steam. The tile work is outstanding. Bathroom video of our shower available at feindesign.com > > Rory prides himself on being very fair and strives hard to make sure you are happy with your home when he is finished. Over all a nice experience. **Comment from Fein Design:** > It's easy to do good work when you have good clients to work with! Thank you for working with us! > You can view photos and video here: > http://feindesigns.com/bathroom\_11.html **★★★★★ — brockmanroofing, Jan. 2013** > My comapany provides roofing and gutter services for Fein Design.

I’m considering something similar. A: Thanks for your question! The room is about 7'-0" wide and 13'-0" long. Hope that helps! **Q: Love the paint...is it green?** *(in Photo Questions)* Rainwashed is green but it says in the photo it's grey... A: Hi, thanks for your inquiry! We did not select the paint colors, the client did, so unfortunately I don't have the info on what color that is. **Q: cabinets** *(in Photo Questions)* Who is the manufacturer and what style. Love how light and stylish A: Thanks for your question! These are custom cabinets made locally. **Q: What size is this (total width)? Can you tell me the price?** *(in Photo Questions)* A: thanks for your question! the total length of this vanity is about 9'-6". the depth of the two vanities is about 22", and the middle linen base is about 24" deep. This was a custom built cabinetry for the homeowner, and I don't have a cost. Give us a call if you have any other questions. Might be easier to chat. 262.238.0774 **Q: Who is the manufacturer of the vinyl siding?** *(in Photo Questions)* A: Hi! Thanks for your question. We didn't do the build for this house, just the design, but I remember this isn't vinyl siding. It was a fiber-cement product I believe. James Hardi or CertainTeed. Hope that helps! **Q: what is the exact color of the roof and which metal supplier is it?** *(in Photo Questions)* A: We actually didn't build this house either, but the roof is a mill finish. Don't know the exact color. If I were you, I would contact a roofing company and start asking questions on what metal products they can get, and colors available. --- *Source: Houzz professional profile.
