They make the entire process so easy. They are routinely on site making sure work is done correctly and on time. Not to mention, they are two of the most friendly people I’ve ever worked with. > > If I could give them more than 5 stars I would. > > Before and after photos of recent exterior work are included. **Comment from Distinctive Homes, LLC:** > Thank you Chad! Bob and I both enjoy working with you and Emily! Thank you for choosing us again!! **★★★★★ — Jorge Miyares, Feb. 2026** > Our grandson is a wheelchair user, and for some time we'd been contemplating adding a ramp to our 70+ year old home for when he comes to visit. We wanted something that would feel like a natural part of the house. While we were at it, we thought about adding pavers around the back so our grandson could easily get back to the porch. We've never done a renovation on this scale. > We called Bob and Melody and they guided us through the entire process - choosing an architect, helping make design decisions - and they made our vision come true. They worked with us so that we could get the most from our budget, and we are thrilled with the result. The project was complete right on schedule. The subcontractors who they used were always on time, reliable, respectful of our property, and they did incredible work. We couldn't be happier. I recommend Distinctive Homes without any reservation. **Comment from Distinctive Homes, LLC:** > Thank you Jorge! Bob and I are so happy your grandson will be able to enter your home on his own!! We also love the fact that he can now easily garden with you and Lisa!! What a blessing. We loved working with you and Lisa and appreciate your kind review. **★★★★★ — MARK HUBAND, Dec. 2025** > Bob and Melody were a delight to work with on our project. From our initial discussions and vision, through design and architecture they listened and provided feedback. The drawings, planning and budgeting were always reviewed and discussed in great detail. Once the work began after the permitting, the schedule was adhered to perfectly and with each phase and work day, the subs arrived on time and completed their work. And the subs were great craftsmen and were a pleasure to have working on our home- and they seemed to enjoy our dogs! The project schedule came in on time and the budget was dead on...no surprises. We're so pleased with our addition and I have to say, it turned out even better than I had envisioned. We highly recommend Distinctive Homes. A truly great experience. **Comment from Distinctive Homes, LLC:** > Mark, Thank you for your kind words! We loved working with you and Robin. Your outdoor space is going to be well used! So glad we could help. **★★★★★ — Melanie Evans, Aug. 2025** > Distinctive Homes was the perfect choice for our kitchen and bath remodel. They worked with us every step of the way to make decisions that worked for our home and budget. Bob and Melody kept us in the loop with daily communication regarding subs and scheduling. They were onsite throughout to oversee work and address questions immediately. Their subs provided quality work and were extremely considerate of the fact that we were living in the home during the project. From planning and initial design decisions to the finished project, we couldn't be happier with the professional service provided by Distinctive Homes. **Comment from Distinctive Homes, LLC:** > Thank you Melanie! Bob and I thoroughly enjoyed working with you both and are so happy you are please with all your renovations!!! Thank you for your thoughtful review. **★★★★★ — Meaghan Hamilton, Aug. 2025** > We worked with Distinctive Homes on a full renovation of one bathroom and the addition of a brand-new one. Bob did a wonderful job keeping everything on track and on time, and the subcontractors they used produced high-quality work. Melody was a huge help in guiding the design, and her input made the process so much easier. Communication was excellent throughout, and the project stayed within our expectations for budget and timeline. The finished bathrooms have truly improved the livability of our home. I would happily recommend Distinctive Homes to anyone considering a renovation project. **Comment from Distinctive Homes, LLC:** > Thank you Meaghan! You and Henry were a delight to work with and appreciate your kind review. So glad you love your new bathrooms!!! **★★★★★ — kittycren, Jan. 2024** > Bob and Melody are a team like no other I have ever worked with! They are wonderfully kind, creative, fair, responsive, well-organized, efficient, professional, and dependable-which is no doubt also why they attract and retain such wonderful subs. They made a normally challenging time a joy. **★★★★★ — Jennifer Friday, Sept. 2023** > I am so pleased with the work that Distinctive Homes did for us. We have two small bathrooms that needed cosmetic renovation, as well as some foundation, plumbing and septic issues that we were unsure about how to address. Right from the get go, I knew we were in good hands. While our existing septic company was trying to tell us we needed a full septic overhaul, Bob brought in some additional experts who were able to verify that our tank and field were just fine, and our issues were strictly in the plumbing line. $20K saved right there! We also uncovered some crumbling floorboards upon demo of the bathrooms. While that's never a pleasant thing for any homeowner, I had such a peace of mind knowing that they knew exactly what to do and would get it fixed right. They did, and onward we moved with the renovation. Just 8 weeks later, our bathrooms have now been fully rebuilt and are absolutely gorgeous. I can't sing enough praises about working with Bob and Melody, as well as the contractors they brought in to work on our home. Every one was professional, courteous, and highly detailed. Several of them came back multiple times to check and recheck that things were done just right. Overall, I am THRILLED that we chose Distinctive Homes for our project, and would recommend them without reservation. **Comment from Distinctive Homes, LLC:** > Thank you Jennifer and Eric! That was very kind of you. We thoroughly enjoyed working with you two. I know it's never easy not being able to live in your house during renovations. You two were troopers! So glad you are happy with the results and are enjoying them. > Melody and Bob **★★★★★ — Natalie Rosander, Feb. 2023** > Bob and Melody are an incredible team to have on your side. They work to finish your project on time and in budget. We gutted our entire kitchen and it took 8 weeks from demo to punch list completion. All of our friends were jealous of the amazing work AND the timeline! Bob and Melody complement each other so nicely. It's so hard to make all the decisions that need to be made over the course of a renovation, but Melody and Bob have a lot of experience and will offer opinions to help you make the best decision for your style and budget. I cannot recommend them highly enough! **Comment from Distinctive Homes, LLC:** > Thank you Natalie! It was a pleasure working with you and glad you have a new kitchen to fit the needs of your family. Enjoy! **★★★★★ — Deborah Shannon, Nov. 2022** > Kitchen, bathroom and fireplace wall renovation with new flooring and complete interior condo painting. > Although we did not live locally at the time, Bob and Melody were onsite daily to supervise all the renovations. Melody was very helpful in design and all fixture selections. Distinctive Home contractor, Bob Bachman, is experienced with condo regulations which helped to keep the job moving without any issues. They were receptive to our requests and completed the job beautifully. **Comment from Distinctive Homes, LLC:** > Thank you Deborah! We had so much fun transforming your condo into your Florida dream! It's a beautiful space and we're so glad you are enjoying it! We appreciate your confidence in us and trusting us to renovate your condo! **★★★★★ — ammorrill, Nov. 2022** > My husband Steve and I couldn’t have had a better experience with Bob and Melody during one of the most difficult times. Our first floor townhome and garage area was completely destroyed during Hurricane Irma. They helped us navigate the insurance paperwork, stay within budget, design selections, timeliness, quality workmanship, all with kindness and professionalism. We couldn’t be more pleased with our beautiful unplanned renovation. Thank you! Thank you, you all are the BEST! **Comment from Distinctive Homes, LLC:** > Thank Anita and Steve! We enjoyed working with you even though it was a hard time for you. > The result was beautiful due also to your flair for decorating! **★★★★★ — dawkins30, Nov. 2022** > We had such an amazing experience with Distinctive Homes. We had a huge project: complete remodel of our kitchen and master bathroom. We were very apprehensive about choosing the right team to do the job for us, but we could not have made a better choice. Bob and Melody made time to be at our home, at some point, every day to make sure that work was being done correctly. > > Highly recommend! **Comment from Distinctive Homes, LLC:** > Thank you Chad! We really enjoyed working with you all and loved your family! **★★★★★ — Teresa Cooksey, Oct. 2022** > Distinctive Homes is absolutely top notch. They have completed extensive renovations for us to include 4 bathrooms, 1 kitchen and a complete conversion of an old single car garage into an absolutely wonderful guest cottage. The knowledge and professionalism is superb. The subcontractors that they work with are very well qualified. The team that Bob and Melody provide is so helpful. I will not consider any other contractor besides Distinctive Homes for any future work. **Comment from Distinctive Homes, LLC:** > Thank you Teresa! You are always a pleasure to work with! I still love that guest cottage!
