Transforming the finest homes in Cincinnati...one room at a time! But willing to travel the country to "Transform" your home as well.

Transformations Custom Wood Design exists to use my God given talents, skills and abilities to beautify and increase the value of the homes I "Transform" while concentrating on integrity, craftsmanship, quality and professionalism.

Ever since the 8th grade, when I made my first step stool in Industrial Arts class, I have had an appreciation for wood.  With my ability in Math and a subsequent Bachelors degree in Mathematics, that appreciation grew into a passion particularly in the area of detailed finish carpentry.  I enjoy creating dramatic details in a home and making it more functional by utilizing unused spaces.  Quality is important to me and I make sure that projects are done well and correctly.  Perfection is impossible, but I strive for it on every transformation.  My desire is to create something that lasts a lifetime and increases the functionality and value of your home.  During the entire Transformations process I will guide you from the first consultation to the completion of the project.

### Featured Review

**★★★★★ — shifty\_61, Feb. 2025**

> Doug is as professional as it gets. Very organized, shows up exactly when he says he’s gonna show up and is thoughtful of all ideas and very easy to work with. His craftsmanship was A+. The table he made for us was a very difficult piece.. It was a lift top table that we could not find anywhere in the market to fit our specifications and style. Sent progress photos often and delivered the table exactly when he said he would. It’s a high-end piece so it’s not super cheap but worth its weight and gold. This is a piece that could be handed down generation to generation. And to top it all off, he brought us root beer floats when he delivered the table with authentic A&W vintage glasses. Can’t go wrong with his work.

**★★★★★ — Scott, June 2026**

> Doug helped us with the design, woodwork, and construction of our basement speakeasy.  He demonstrated thoughtful creativity, detail, and precision in his work, and was very easy to work with.  We are super pleased with the end product!

**★★★★★ — Ryan May, Sept. 2025**

> I would highly recommend Doug.   He was extremely professional and made sure things were done the right way.   We would use him again in a heartbeat.   When others see his work in our home- they are very impressed and always ask "who did your work?"

**★★★★★ — jspillman, Sept. 2025**

> If 6 stars was a thing, I would give them all to Doug Roth, owner of Transformations! :)  My husband and I worked with Doug on a kitchen remodel project for our historic home in Middletown, Ohio.  We thought we knew exactly what we wanted, but after our first meeting with Doug, we realized we needed sooo much help!  Doug was there to guide us from step 1 to step 2...explaining how the process worked, the quality of his products, what to expect from him, and that he wanted me to love the remodel.  I liked that best, because I wanted to LOVE my new kitchen too.
> Doug is an amazing carpenter and project manager. I saw him analyze our project with precision, from all perspectives, which wasn't easy in an older home where there are no straight lines and lots of surprises, and build us a kitchen that exceeded my expectations (which is rare for me).  I also discovered that Doug has a very high work ethic and moral compass.  Doug came to work on time every day, kept us informed and handled minor setbacks with ease.  He's miles ahead of most people in his field.  My husband and I highly recommend him for your next project, especially if you want to elevate your home with quality workmanship at a reasonable price and he just might exceed your expectations too!  I am wondering though, if he also excels at teaching people how to water ski....

**Comment from Transformations Custom Wood Design:**

> I have to admit I cried after reading this review. I work sooo hard to do my best and don't always know if it is enough. I humbly thank you Spillman family from the bottom of my heart for the opportunity to "Transform" your home. I'm glad you LOVE your kitchen.

**★★★★★ — Shannon Hoyer, Nov. 2024**

> Doug is one of the best people we've ever had the pleasure of working with.  His communication is top notch and his work is ever better.  He has absolutely transformed our builder grade living room to a masterpiece with a beautiful coffered ceiling and custom trim detail on the walls.  We will be calling him for all future projects and would not hesitate to recommend him to family and friends.  Thank you Doug!

**Comment from Transformations Custom Wood Design:**

> Wow Shannon and Ben! Your Living Room turned out fabulous! Thank you for letting me "Transform" your home.

**★★★★★ — Melissa, Sept. 2024**

> Doug did amazing work adding wainscoting to the back wall in our bedroom and trimming out all our windows. Very professional and on time! I highly recommend Doug!

**Comment from Transformations Custom Wood Design:**

> Trim can do so much for a home! Thank you Melissa!

**★★★★★ — Matt Wagner, Aug. 2024**

> We hired Doug to build some custom built-ins for a room we were converting to a home office. From initial reach out to the end of the project Doug was communicative, transparent, professional, kind, and extremely helpful and thoughtful. His quality of work and attention to detail is fantastic. We will most certainly use Doug again for other home projects we have planned down the road. Thank you, Doug!

**Comment from Transformations Custom Wood Design:**

> What a huge change for your office area. It definitely made a statement! Thank you Matt!

**★★★★★ — Leslie Lyte, Aug. 2024**

> We couldn’t be happier with the work Doug did on our kitchen renovation! From start to finish, he was professional, attentive, and incredibly skilled. He built us a stunning custom island and matching hood that have truly become the centerpiece of our kitchen. The craftsmanship is top-notch, with every detail carefully considered and beautifully executed.
>
> In addition to the island and hood, Doug replaced our countertops, and the transformation is nothing short of amazing. The quality of the materials and the precision of the installation exceeded our expectations.
>
> Throughout the entire process, Doug was a pleasure to work with. He listened to our ideas, offered valuable insights, and made sure that everything was completed on time and within budget. His dedication to customer satisfaction is evident in every aspect of his work.
>
> If you’re looking for a company that delivers exceptional quality and service, I highly recommend Doug and Transformations. They turned our kitchen into a space we absolutely love!

**Comment from Transformations Custom Wood Design:**

> Your kitchen turned out great! Thank you for trusting me.

**★★★★★ — redoakcourt, July 2024**

> I have had the pleasure of allowing Doug Roth to transform my home for 15 years. My brand new home needed trim around all windows, and that is where it all started. I soon had beautiful crown moulding throughout the home, including laundry room and bathrooms.
> The current project was to add decorative moulding to main living areas, as shown in first 3 Photos. Photos 4&5 were my inspiration for the latest project.
> There were occasions when I needed a small wood project done and I was too impatient to get on his schedule. I regretted it 100% of the time.
> Doug is very pleasant to work with, punctual, professional, a perfectionist. What more could you need?

**Comment from Transformations Custom Wood Design:**

> Wow, what kind words. One of the many houses I have been fortunate enough to have completed several projects. Thank you.

**★★★★★ — marathek, Dec. 2023**

> Doug did an outstanding job from start to finish! He was on time, thorough, did not pressure, came with suggestions, completed the job to the highest standards, and left the site perfectly clean. He created custom bookshelves with some nice touches such as built-in lighting and brass grommets. The finish of the wood is beautiful. I could not have asked for a better product. I highly recommend!

**Comment from Transformations Custom Wood Design:**

> This project really "Transformed" your room. The decorations just topped it off. Thank you for trusting me.

**★★★★★ — William Hamilton, Oct. 2023**

> Doug Roth installed built in bookcases in just a few days.  Absolutely beautiful.
> Quality of work was impeccable.  Easy to work with from estimate to completion.  Master craftsman.
> Made sure we were happy with the results. I would highly recommend him for any custom job.

**Comment from Transformations Custom Wood Design:**

> Bill you were great to work for as well. Just to clarify for those reading this review, what Bill meant was that I was only in their house for 3 days. I built all of the cabinets off-site in my shop and then installed everything in the house over a 3 day period. Thanks Bill!

**★★★★★ — Tiffany Allen-Zeuch-Sibcy Cline Realtors, Sept. 2023**

> This is our 2nd time working with Doug for a kitchen remodel/update. For this project, Doug completed the following tasks:
> 1\) Kitchen: Installed new wood vent; installed backsplash; painted cabinets; installed new crown molding on cabinet
> 2\) Master bathroom: new drawer and door fronts; painted cabinets; painted mirror frames
> 3\) painted cabinets in 4 full bathrooms.
>
> Everything looks amazing. Attention to detail is high. You cannot tell that the cabinets are painted. They look like they would in a custom home build. Doug is timely, works hard, and the end product looks amazing. As as Realtor in the local market, I see a lot of homes and a lot of remodels, so I am very picky on who I choose to work on my personal home. I have recommended Doug for years and will continue to do so.

**Comment from Transformations Custom Wood Design:**

> Thank you Tiffany. That means so much. Repeat clients are my favorite. I have done work for 7 different clients in 2 houses. Early next year I will be doing a job in someone's third house.

**★★★★★ — Tom G., Sept. 2023**

> Transformations by Doug is by far the most outstanding Contractor we have ever used. He has completed four large projects at our home. After the first project, we knew we never wanted anyone else to work on our home. He completely transformed our Family room with the first project. He designed a one of a kind shelving/cabinet display around our fireplace in our two story Family Room. It is stunningly beautiful and unique. The second project he did for us was a Fabulous L shaped cherry bar in our basement. He designed a fantastic full length bar that we use constantly. The third project he did for us was a White Display Cabinet so we could show off our Sports Memorabilia. He built it so that it sits in a perfect spot in the lower level and added lighting to attract attention. The fourth project he just completed was a complete Laundry Room Renovation. He customer built the cabinets and even added a drawer above our dog's eating space for additional storage. Doug is incredibly talented and he has outstanding design ideas. He is a perfectionist so you will get a tremendous finished product. He has our Highest Recommendation!

**Comment from Transformations Custom Wood Design:**

> Wow Tom, thank you for such kind words! I remember when I asked you why you hired me to build that first project and your response was, "You 'Wowed' us with the design"! That built-in is still in my top 5 favorite "Transformations". I'm thankful for all of the people that keep asking me to do more projects.

**★★★★★ — Gail Davis, Sept. 2023**

> Doug craftsmanship is superior he takes great pride in his work . He gives great advice and communicates and keeps you well informed .

**Comment from Transformations Custom Wood Design:**

> I am grateful to the people that notice. I work hard to not only be good at what I do, but take care of all of the little things as well. Thank you!

**★★★★★ — Terry, July 2023**

> My job was small compared to many that Doug has done (one lower kitchen cabinet and cabinet door replacements), but he gave it the same care and attention I’m sure he gives to complete remodels. His approach is professional with clear communication throughout.  He paid attention to the existing millwork and fitted the cabinet perfectly. Highly recommended.

**Comment from Transformations Custom Wood Design:**

> With an historic home such as yours, details are the key. I wanted to make sure that you didn't lose that integrity. Every job, big or small, gets the same 100% attention. Thank you.

**★★★★★ — kimberlyaadams, June 2023**

> Doug completely transformed my kitchen!  He was honest, hardworking, punctual, and detail oriented.  We found some major surprises during demolition, but Doug didn't bat an eye and tackled each obstacle without hesitation.  Doug was very thorough and cleaned his workspace every day.  He met every deadline as promised, even with the surprises that we found behind walls, under floors, etc.   Doug is very professional and reliable which is hard to find.  My entire family loves our new kitchen!  Thank you, Doug and Transformations!

**Comment from Transformations Custom Wood Design:**

> Sometimes things are not easy. Thank you, Kimberly and family, for being flexible as we navigated all of the difficulties. Your kitchen turned out great. Here's to many a meal and get together.

**★★★★★ — Eric K, May 2023**

> This is the second project we've worked on with Doug. Our first project was a beautiful wine bar in the dining room of our old home. When we moved to our new house, we knew we wanted to work on another project with him. Our basement had a completely open wall that was in need of a more effective use of space. Doug helped design and build a custom entertainment center to fill the space and allow us to maximize our use of the space.

**Comment from Transformations Custom Wood Design:**

> Thank you Eric! It's always a good feeling to be able to do something in a second house for the same client. I know you probably aren't moving anytime soon but...maybe a third? : )

**★★★★★ — HU-900006756, April 2023**

> My kitchen was severely showing its age and starting to fall apart.  A friend of mine who was a home remodeler recommended Doug Roth with Transformations Custom Wood Design stating that he was one of the best cabinet guy he has ever worked with.  I contacted Doug who came out and patiently listened to my concerns and ideas.  We then discussed the pros and cons of my ideas and gave solutions to any issues.  He then helped me through all the steps from various orderings of materials to installation.  Some examples of his "global" involvement in my project included suggesting I use a under cabinet microwave oven that was only 10 inches tall so that it did not interfere with countertop space and making a kitchen island that had door on opposite sides that allowed us to more easily access our cook wares without having to reach so far in it from one side.  He also added locking wheels on it so we could easily move it around when necessary due to the size of our kitchen.
> Doug installed the cabinets, backsplash, under cabinet lights and appliances.  Due to age of the house (40 years old) and issues with my last remodeling job (that I did on my own), he had solutions and made one heck of a beautiful kitchen.

**Comment from Transformations Custom Wood Design:**

> I am so glad that you saw the value that I brought to the table. You and Deb were great to work for. Thank you Norm!

**★★★★★ — Jeff Herman, Nov. 2022**

> Absolutely, worth the wait!  Doug is the real deal, a true professional.  His attention to detail is remarkable.  He turned our plain kitchen island into a masterpiece.   He took care of all the coordination between his work and the granite supplier.  Doug was very much available throughout the process and communicated well ahead if there were to be any changes.  He was there when he said he would be there.  Doug is a super trustworthy. No issues with leaving the house while he worked. He was always patient and courteous if any changes needed to be made.  We are so happy to have been able to work with him.

**Comment from Transformations Custom Wood Design:**

> Another great project with a great outcome. Thank you Hermans!

**★★★★★ — Curtis/Penny Corbett, Oct. 2022**

> Doug has done two jobs for us, master bathroom and kitchen. We love working with Doug on our projects and will continue to use him for any future projects we might have. We can walk him through what our ideas are and after hearing them he then will make suggestions. We have typically taken those suggestions as they made sense and would often times save us money. Doug is a very detailed oriented person which has made him a good fit for us.  He does what it takes to get the job done right and to his client’s satisfaction. I would and have recommended him to numerous individuals.
> Penny

**Comment from Transformations Custom Wood Design:**

> Your kitchen turned out amazing! So glad you love it!

**★★★★★ — Dawn Roth, Oct. 2022**

> Doug Roth is a perfectionist and professional! The custom woodwork he does is amazing.
> He put custom wood feet on the bottoms of my fireplace mantle (which hid the floor tile mistakes I created). There were so many cuts he made and it looks perfect. He was so quick, I was amazed.
> Doug recently painted my builder grade cabinets white, an oak 1/2 wall top white and replaced terrible plywood (swollen, broken, unclean, didn’t match white baseboards) with white shoe molding for a beautiful, seamless transition.
> I would highly recommend Doug for ANY project you have! He truly is exceptional and excellent at his craft. I will definitely be using Doug again for projects in my home.

**Comment from Transformations Custom Wood Design:**

> Thank you Dawn! Details are my thing. Thank you for noticing.

**★★★★★ — HU-870398063, May 2022**

> I was very pleased with Doug’s expertise and craftsmanship. I had a design idea I found online and he took my ideas and made them reality. He was very respectful and professional. He was on time, communicated well, and was very thoughtful and respectful of my home. Each day he worked he was sure to thoroughly clean that area of the house. I would highly recommend Doug for any project
> Thank tons we love are new look Beth

**★★★★★ — Humberto Garcia, May 2022**

> Doug did an outstanding job at renovating our kitchen. His passion to tackle every detail, anticipate our needs and listen to our request were above the expectation. His flexibility to "shape fog" in the early stages of the project while we were developing design concepts as well as his intuition on what is needed are highly valuable. Quality on everything he does is his signature and what really differentiates him from the rest is his ability to connect with customer. My wife and family are really happy and amazed by the work that he was able to complete. Thanks so much for the great work and partnership!

**★★★★★ — ppigram0807, Dec. 2021**

> Doug Roth was the best contractor we’ve ever had to work in our home! Our two week project started on time, and the completion was before the time given to us. Each day when we returned home, the area he was working was left clean and undisturbed. Our design was exactly like the drawing given to us. We are ecstatic over our ceiling makeover!!! Thank you Transformation’s Custom Wood Design‼️‼️‼️

**★★★★★ — Catherine Burns, Nov. 2021**

> Doug is phenomenal. From the very beginning, he listened to what we wanted and he dreamed our vision with us. He gave us the freedom to make our stylistic decisions but also helped guide us with his knowledge and expertise in the industry on what styles, trends, and features were most cost efficient and timeless. His attention to detail is unmatched, his work ethic is exceptional and you can tell that he loves what he does. He even gave us tips and tricks on the parts that we wanted to DIY in the renovation.
>
> The project was completed in less than 2 weeks and gives our house just the upgraded touch that it needed. Doug truly transformed our kitchen and we couldn’t be happier.

**Comment from Transformations Custom Wood Design:**

> I am so glad that you are happy. We made a pretty good team! Here's to many years in your "new" kitchen.

**★★★★★ — HU-770532033, Aug. 2021**

> Doug built bookcases for my wife and I around our brick fireplace.  His ideas, workmanship, and attention to detail was the best.  We could not have wished for a better outcome.  I highly recommend Doug!  My only issue came after the installation.  I now cannot get my wife out of her chair from in front of the bookcases.  She loves to sit and read now more than ever before.

**★★★★★ — Willis, July 2021**

> Doug is an incredible craftsman. He is professional and very detailed oriented.
> We asked him to do the impossible, and he took it to the next level and far exceeded our expectations. Doug took all of our ideas and thoughts and improved on every one. We are more than satisfied and delighted with our kitchen cabinets. We highly recommend Doug for any woodworking project. His high quality work, expertise, and professionalism make him a leader in the business. Thank you, Doug!

**Comment from Transformations Custom Wood Design:**

> Willis family thank you! This project is at the top of my list for detail and job satisfaction. The challenges were many but the final product came out amazing! Thank you for the opportunity to build your kitchen!

**★★★★★ — Aaron .B, July 2021**

> We contacted Doug to design and install wainscoting in our dining room and crown moulding around the majority of our first floor. From our initial consultation to the quote to rhe completion of the project Doug was precise, professional and prompt. His design was beyond what we could envision and he over delivered in execution. Not only did he arrive exactly when promised each day but he treated our home with respect and always left everything as he found it at the end of the day. We can not recommend Doug highly enough and look forward to working with him on our next project.

**Comment from Transformations Custom Wood Design:**

> Thank you Aaron. Wainscotting really can dress up a room! It turned out great

**★★★★★ — Peggy, July 2021**

> Doug did an amazing job adding wainscoting to my dinning room walls and Foyer.  He is very easy to work with, honest, and dependable.  He left the work site clean every day.   He is an excellent carpenter with a knack for planning and a keen eye for detail; which shows in his work.  I am extremely happy with the end result.  I highly recommend him.

**★★★★★ — Peggy Robbins, July 2021**

> I am extremely happy with my decision to go with Trsnsformations, Doug did an amazing job installing wainscoting in my dining room and foyer.  His work ethic is top notch and he is a great carpenter.  He thoroughly thought out the space for best design based on what my vision was.  All I can say is, he nailed it! I loved what he did

**Comment from Transformations Custom Wood Design:**

> Thanks Peggy. I see what you did there..."he nailed it!"  Nice touch! Your dining room turned out fabulous!

**★★★★★ — Robbin Coffman, May 2021**

> Doug did an excellent job during the remodel of my kitchen and living room. He is a true professional and takes pride in his work. He is respectful and kept my place clean and tidy throughout the remodel. He even did a few extra projects that were outside the scope of the remodel job. I would highly recommend Doug with any remodel job one is looking to have completed.

**Comment from Transformations Custom Wood Design:**

> Thank you Robbin! You were very easy to work for. Sometimes that makes all the difference.

**★★★★★ — Gary Kaiser, Dec. 2020**

> Doug did a wonderful job from drawing up the plans to the finished product.
> He was professional and took extra precautions while in our house during the Covid 19 pandemic.  The supplies were top of the line in quality and he did an exception job with the carpentry all the way to the finished product.  I highly recommend him for any project big or small.

**Comment from Transformations Custom Wood Design:**

> Glad you like it. I know Jan is happy with her drawers and extra storage.

**★★★★★ — Jeffrey Dice, Nov. 2020**

> Doug is the best! His attention to every detail is unmatched. He is able to creatively design solutions to whatever project idea you have. And he uses the highest quality wood and hardware. My wife and I couldn’t be happier with the results of our little project. Thank you, Doug!!

**Comment from Transformations Custom Wood Design:**

> Thanks Jeff! It turned out great. I hope that you enjoy it for many years to come.

**★★★★★ — Leann Blanchet, Nov. 2020**

> Doug helped remodel our master bathroom, he took our vision on paper and turned it into exactly what we wanted in real life.  My husband did the demo and Doug tiled the entire shower, (Flooring, walls, niches, and benching), and it turned out absolutely amazing. He took his time and made sure everything was perfect .  He will definitely be called when we go on to remodel other rooms in our home.

**Comment from Transformations Custom Wood Design:**

> Thank you Blanchets! And my favorite plumber will be called when I am ready to do my own bathroom!!

**★★★★★ — Kitchen, Sept. 2020**

> Doug is great! He is very professional and a perfectionist down to the tiniest detail! If he says he’ll be at your house at 8:00 he will be sitting in your driveway at 7:55! We are thrilled with the kitchen remodel he did for us!

**Comment from Transformations Custom Wood Design:**

> I try! : ) Enjoy your new kitchen and we will see you on the lake next summer.

**★★★★★ — Chuck & Mary Richardson, Sept. 2020**

> Doug recently renovated our kitchen and it is absolutely beautiful, truly stunning. The quality of the work is outstanding, great value for our investment. His expertise and attention to detail made all the difference. Doug was easy to work with and communicated clearly with us every step of the way. He coordinated expertly with our flooring and granite contractors for timely transitions. We were impressed with his professionalism and craftsmanship. We always heard that renovations are hard and take forever, but Doug made it a truly pleasant experience and everything was done in a timely manner.

**Comment from Transformations Custom Wood Design:**

> Your kitchen did look great! I should be getting to your mantle here in the next couple of weeks.

**★★★★★ — Lauren S, Oct. 2019**

> Doug did an amazing job from start to finish.  We had several people out to give us an estimate, but only Doug noticed several issues and came up with a perfect plan for the space. While working in our home, Doug was respectful, tidy, and dependable.  The finished project is even more beautiful than we imagined!

**Comment from Transformations Custom Wood Design:**

> A year already!! Sometimes those little issues cause problems but not if I catch them up front. I try really hard to make sure everything goes as smooth as possible.

**★★★★★ — Kristin Sams, Oct. 2019**

> We could not have been more satisfied with the process and the final product in the building and installation of our built in cabinetry.  Doug was professional, detail oriented, RELIABLE, communicative,  kind, and reasonably priced.   He took my inspiration picture and made it a reality for us.  The final product blends beautifully with the rest of our home.  We highly recommend Doug at Transformations!!

**Comment from Transformations Custom Wood Design:**

> Thank you Doug!

**★★★★★ — Neil Dougherty, July 2019**

> We worked with Transformations Custom Wood Design (Doug Roth) to remodel our kitchen. Doug was awesome to work with. He designed our island for us and then when we wanted to make changes to it he worked through those with us. Doug also replaced the cabinet doors, painted the cabinets, installed a backsplash among a few other things. The island was the center piece and he built that from scratch. It has a number of cool items in it that we would never have thought to include that we just love. Doug was very easy to work with and has really good ideas to help move the project along. We had another contractor onsite that was doing some demo work and floors and Doug worked with him to make sure everything ran smoothly. Everything ran smoothly and on time. We could not be happier with Doug and the work that he did. Our kitchen look fabulous and everyone is very happy with the end result. One last thing that I liked about working with Doug was that he communicated very well through the entire process. Whether that be sending text messages or pictures of the work he was doing offisite. I also knew his schedule and when he was going to be at the house. I never felt like I was in the dark or wondering where he was or what he was doing. Great experience and could not be happier!

**★★★★★ — HU-864428612, March 2019**

> Doug completed a kitchen remodel for us. He built custom-made cabinets to replace our dated desk with a modern bar and increased storage by the pantry. Additionally, he painted our cabinets, upgraded the countertops and added subway tile as a backsplash.
> Doug was beyond professional with his estimate, drawings and contract and all the way through completion. He was respectful of our house and met all agreed upon timelines. Additionally, he has such an eye for detail and no short cuts were taken throughout.
> We highly recommend Doug and Transformations Custom Wood Design for any work.

**★★★★★ — Brian Calkins, Jan. 2019**

> Doug's work is a reflection of his character, high integrity and world class.  In April 2018, Doug created and installed custom lockers for our kids, and they are one of a kind.  Everyone that sees them takes notice, and of course, they make organizing all of the kids stuff beautiful and clean.  Doug also transformed an old-style TV entertainment system into a beautiful modern one that we can use with the flat screen TV of today.  Also, a wonderful transformation to our 4-seasons room.  If you're looking for the best, you owe it to yourself to have Doug design your next home project.

**Comment from Transformations Custom Wood Design:**

> Wow! Thank you Brian. You guys were great to work for. It was certainly my pleasure "Transforming" your home!

**★★★★★ — Cara Winterringer, March 2018**

> Doug does excellent work at a reasonable price. He is a perfectionist as well as professional. We are very pleased with the quality of the custom kitchen cabinets he built for us. He was willing to build to our custom specifications. I'd definitely recommend Transformations Custom Wood Design for any kitchen cabinet project.

**Comment from Transformations Custom Wood Design:**

> Thank you Cara. You and Darin were great to work for. Enjoy that kitchen!

**★★★★★ — biederma66, Feb. 2018**

> I hired Doug to transform a very dated bar area in my condo. He came to my home with multiple samples of cabinets and stains to incorporate my existing cabinetry into the new project. He offered suggestions when I got stuck, and LISTENED when I wanted to incorporate my pretty glassware by building in shelving to display them. He went over and beyond by talking to the firm I was purchasing the refrigerator from, to help me with the dimensions and style. The final result was as promised (beautiful) and before the time agreed on.

**★★★★★ — Curtis/Penny Corbett, Dec. 2017**

> Came up on Doug and Transformations Custom Wood Design by way of his wife, Stephanie, who I had just met. In our conversation she mentioned Doug did renovation work. After having had 3 other company's come look at our project (master bath renovation), not one of them reconnected with us to give even a quote. Within a day or two of meeting/talking with Stephanie, we received a call, setup a time, discussed the work, signed the contract and finally we were on our way to getting our spa like master bath. Doug listened to what "I" had in mind and then made some suggestions. It was great getting someone else's ideas on how to rework the space. Once the work started, Doug would always arrive around the same time every morning unless he had to pickup supplies but he always told us before he left the evening before. Doug is meticulous in his work.  At the end of each day he called us to the space to show what he did that day and what he was looking to do the next day. The end result is awesome!!  I have already talked to him about giving me an estimate for another project!

**★★★★ — Tom & Emily Schultz, Nov. 2017**

> A perfectionist to the end!!! Very professional and organized in every step of the way!
> Our bath is a dream come true!!

**★★★★★ — Emily Joncas, Nov. 2017**

> Doug has incredible talent. He turned our dingy master bathroom into a gorgeous spa-like space we never want to leave!  He takes his time and does the work right, and the best part is that within hours, he feels like a member of the family. We can't recommend him enough for any transformation your home may need!

**Comment from Transformations Custom Wood Design:**

> Thank you Joncas's! Hopefully "like a member of the family" wasn't code for annoying...Ha Ha! Loved your family!

**★★★★★ — apriltmanning, Oct. 2017**

> Doug transformed our dining and living rooms with beautiful custom-designed board and batten walls and a coffered ceiling. He is a true artisan with exceptional skills and a positive, can-do attitude. Professional, prompt, and personable, we can highly recommend Doug. We were beyond thrilled with his work and plan to use him again to create more transformations in our home.

**Comment from Transformations Custom Wood Design:**

> Glad you like the result. Always fun when the end product makes everyone smile from ear to ear. Thank you!

**★★★★★ — Nancy Grimes, March 2017**

> Doug is a highly skilled professional who has passion and perfection for his craft. We viewed his work at our neighbor's house and we were impressed.  He then worked with us on our kitchen island and cabinet ideas.  He listened to our needs and provided insightful suggestions.  He created exactly what we wanted as promised - on time and on budget.  We  now have a beautiful kitchen peninsula island with cabinets and drawers underneath. He also custom hand crafted a new hutch with overhead glass doors and lighting and storage underneath.

> It looks amazing and we are very thrilled with our kitchen!  We appreciate Doug and his workmanship very much! We would highly recommend Doug!

**Comment from Transformations Custom Wood Design:**

**★★★★★ — Bassett Home Furnishings, Dec. 2016**

> I have dreamt of built in shelves in my living room for years.  I finally have them and I love them!!  Doug listened and got my vision right away!  He worked with me to design them.  He did everything he said he would and always WHEN he said he would!  I will be using him again and referring him to everyone I know:-). Thanks, Doug!!!

**Comment from Transformations Custom Wood Design:**

> Thanks Jill. I hope you enjoy your built-in for many years to come! It was great working in your home.

**★★★★★ — Gale McLaughlin, Sept. 2016**

> I contracted with Doug to build a bookcase/cabinet/media center, following neighbors' recommendations. Doug's craftsmanship is beautiful, and his design is practical-- just as I had hoped. He is a pleasure to work with. Doug was prompt, professional, and his price was fair. I highly recommend Doug.

**Comment from Transformations Custom Wood Design:**

> Thanks Gale and John. Let me know when everything is decorated so I can drop by and see your built-in.

**★★★★★ — molly hare, Sept. 2016**

> We have used Doug Roth for 8 different projects in our home over the years.  We actually wouldn't use anyone else!  This last project was a total restoration of our master bath and once again Doug exceeded expectations!  He takes our ideas and truly makes them better.  Doug communicates all along the way so we are never surprised by any changes that need to take place but truly honors the vision that we had for the space.  We can't say enough good things about his work and his character!

**Comment from Transformations Custom Wood Design:**

> Thanks Molly and Paul. I hope you enjoy your luxurious bathroom for years.

**★★★★★ — Brad Amstutz, Sept. 2016**

**★★★★★ — User, Aug. 2015**

> I am the owner of a general contracting company and had the pleasure of working with Doug on a project.  Doug is absolutely dedicated to every aspect of a project.  We were very impressed with every step from concept to completion (including cleanup) as well as all of the communication along the way.  It is my sincere hope that we will have the opportunity to work with him again very soon!

**★★★★★ — amahajan75, Aug. 2015**

> It's only natural that I begin, and will perhaps end, this review with Doug - the engineer, artist, inspiration, talent and gentle human being behind TransformationsByDoug!
>
> We found Doug through the internet and were at first skeptical about how this engagement would go since we had spoken to a couple of other people who were offering to do the same work for us. Being a brand new home builder and being new to Mason, Ohio, we were not very sure whether we should go with someone who is a one-man-shop or hire a contractor from a named builder, etc. All our anxieties were put to ease upon our very first meeting with Doug, who started the discussion with a written statement about his commitment to quality and transparency with contracting. He interviewed us about the work we wanted performed and made some suggestions that had not occurred to us, but made a lot of sense.
>
> Doug came back with estimates and a couple of different pricing options along with recommendations of how we could split the work to be done immediately, in the near future and then in the longer term. We agreed to a plan and Doug started the work immediately. Since were going to move into the home in a few days, Doug planned in such a way that he completed the crown molding in areas such as the kitchen and living areas that were needed by us from the beginning. For this, he spent a couple of 18+ hour work days at the site!!
>
> The project was completed in just under 3 weeks. Doug arrived and left on time and was very professional in communicating is availability during the course of the assignment. It was a joy to have him around in the house as he is a very friendly person who not only interacted so well with our family (kids aged 5 and 9) but also taught me so many tricks of the trade about carpentry in general. His demeanor was really pleasing and we were very comfortable with him.
>
> Doug installed over 300 feet of crown molding in our home and a coffered ceiling that just blew us away! The workmanship was immaculate, the finish pristine and the art, inspiring! What was most amazing was the fact that he accomplished so much single-handedly, especially the coffered ceiling in a room that measures 22 x 22 feet and the height of the ceiling is about 20 ft!. He was adept with his saws, tools, ladders, etc and neat and clean in maintaining the workplace (our garage) and the work area (the home!). Doug suggested some paint options that we had not though about, but which when completed, really accentuated the wood work and brought it to life!
>
> I threw in a couple of extra requests while Doug was onsite (like installing some cabinets in the laundry and chandeliers in the entry-way and the living room - both 20 ft tall) and he did not even batter an eyelid :-)
>
> All in all, I was really impressed with the work Doug did and would strongly recommend him to anyone in the Cincinnati region who would like to transform their home! The end product will be remarkable, but what you may not realize, is that the "journey" will be so fulfilling too!
>
> Doug - thank you, THANK YOU!

**★★★★★ — Bret Conard, July 2015**

> Doug was recommended by another contractor doing other work. He did an amazing job.
> Ours was the Master Bath project shown here. The vanity and tub facing were done to impeccable standards. He added touches that just made it perfect. The pull out shelves / bottle storage, are design features he added to match the pillars on our bedroom furniture!
> A great guy, with a great finished product.

**Comment from Transformations Custom Wood Design:**

> Thanks for the review Bret. That is still one of my favorite projects. Looking forward to the next one.

**★★★★★ — dmgpwoh, July 2015**

> Doug is a contractor I will use again, again and again.  I have used him twice so far and have been totally satisfied.
> The knowledge of his craft and attitude with his client is unparallel. He made an error in measuring and was more upset than I was.  This tells me he is a perfectionist in his craft. The problem was immediately addressed to my satisfaction and his.
> He is always on time for appointments and communicates well before, during and after the project.
> I will definitely use him again.

**Comment from Transformations Custom Wood Design:**

**★★★★★ — mprough1, Sept. 2014**

> Doug saved the day.  We had our basement finished inclusive of a custom built maple bar.  The sub that stained the bar ruined the bar top, so much so that it could not be correct.  After a lengthy search, we were directed to Doug (via a referral) and wish we would have known about him sooner.  Doug rebuilt the bar top, stained and reinstalled.
>
> Words cannot describe the finished product.  It turned out perfect.  We have had so many compliments.  I searched long and hard to find someone to get this right and I am telling you, no one in Cincinnati is doing what Doug does.  He is a true professional and his workmanship & attention to detail is second to none.
>
> Thanks again Doug....AMAZING!

**Comment from Transformations Custom Wood Design:**

> You are welcome Prough family! I don't often get the chance to "save the day" but I am glad that I was able to be there to help when you needed it. Enjoy the bar.

**★★★★★ — kanieckis, July 2014**

> We used Doug Roth for some shelves and a mantle in our old house.  We have recently moved and are going to use him again to do almost the same exact project in our new house.  Doug is very professional, courteous, detail oriented, and just simply does excellent work.  Anything in your house in regards to woodwork, crown molding, bars, etc, I would recommend Doug Roth.  He is the best.

**Comment from Transformations Custom Wood Design:**

> It is always a privilege to work in someones home for the first time but when I have the opportunity to work in their home for a second time or better yet their next home...that is pretty special and makes me feel like I am doing something right. You guys were great to work for. Thank you for the trust you showed in me to work in your homes!

**★★★★★ — miked65, July 2014**

> The owner of Transformations is a friend whom I have come to know through our church home. So, I knew a bit of Doug's character for integrity, professionalism, and commitment before we selected him to do our Family Room Coffered (Beamed) Ceiling. He wants to ensure that the customer is fully on board with the plan before any work begins, and is great on the follow-up end too. He worked with us to find a way to make the project pricing more cost effective by offering different materials and finishes approaches. I was truly amazed at his skills and took great pleasure in working with him providing support during the installation of the ceiling. We collaborated on the new ceiling and bar colors beforehand in order to match the mahogany coloration of the manufactured bar that was present when we purchased the home. I pre-painted the ceiling, and he did the same at his shop with all the materials to 'build up' the beams at our job site. This saved time and minimized the disruption in our home as the project moved forward. The outcome is 'simply elegant' and we are so glad we had the opportunity to do this project with Transformations (Doug).

**Comment from Transformations Custom Wood Design:**

> Thank you Mike. You were a great help on this project and the lunches that your wife Corliss provided every day was a nice added touch. I still crave those sugar cookies every once in a while. That ceiling really makes your basement a great looking space.

> Transformations Custom Wood Design was hired by my contractor to manufacture (and match) back cabinetry and a canopy to a preexisting bar in the lower level of my house.  Doug worked diligently to meet a challenging time schedule and was able to perfectly match the color and design to the existing unit.

> The contractor left the job before the work was complete, still owing Doug 50% of the agreed upon contract price.  Thankfully Doug stayed with the project through completion, making sure every detail was handled and I, the customer was happy with the end result.

**Comment from Transformations Custom Wood Design:**

> I'm not going to lie...this was a tough project to finish due to the circumstances but I am a man of my word and I do what I say I am going to do regardless of what may happen. Customer satisfaction is my goal and I constantly strive to make that happen. I hope you enjoy the bar for many years to come. Thank you!

> I cannot say enough about how much my husband and I enjoyed working with Doug Roth.  His work is amazing and he's a professional in every sense of the word.  Doug transformed our Great Room into a Sports Bar.  He built a beautiful bar, paneled the walls, made a custom table, and It turned out amazing.  Pictures don't even do it justice.  We would absolutely recommend Doug to our family and friends.  As a matter of fact, we already have.  Our neighbors saw the beautiful work Doug did and hired him for their own upcoming project.
> Sherry and Keith Gregor

**Comment from Transformations Custom Wood Design:**

> This was such a cool project to be a part of and I am very grateful for the opportunity to work in your home. Your family was great, your dog Max was forever my companion during the job and the fridge full of Mountain Dew was welcomed during those really hot July days. The crazy thing is that I built the room but I was still blown away when I saw it for the first time after you had added all of your personal autographed items and memorabilia. The Gregor Sports Bar is such a fun place to be! Thank you.

I specialize exclusively in custom cabinetry and built-ins. My approach is to design and build unique pieces tailored precisely to your home's dimensions, style, and your specific needs. This ensures a truly one-of-a-kind result that enhances your living space.

## Community Q&A

**Q: dimensions of shower?** *(in Photo Questions)*

Hello, what are the dimensions of the walk-in shower and what size tub in in there? Wondering if this will work for my space. Thanks!

A: I believe the shower was 4' wide x 6' long and the tub was a 60&quot; tub. Hope this helps.

**Q: Length of bed/ladder portion?** *(in Photo Questions)*

I love this concept!

A: I'm not exactly sure what your question is but the top bunk is a normal twin size mattress and the bottom bunk is a full size mattress.

**Q: How much is this?** *(in Photo Questions)*

C

A: As is around $16,000. It has 2 full beds on bottom with 2 twins on top. Stairs in between bunks with drawers in each stair. Ladders to top bunks. 
6 huge storage drawers under the full beds. Bookshelves on each end floor to ceiling. Storage cabinets on top accessible from top bunks. Personal display areas with bulletin boards and shelves.

**Q: booth looks amazing, congrats, what are its dimentions (seat lengths?)** *(in Photo Questions)*

A: Sorry for the late response. I can't remember the exact dimensions but I believe the booth was 6 feet long by 5 feet wide and was custom made by www.restaurant furniture.com .  The entire room was based on and determined by that corner. I custom made the table to fit the dimensions of the booth. Thanks for looking!

**Q: Ticker** *(in Photo Questions)*

Where can we get the ticker display over the TV

A: Sorry for the delay in responding. The homeowners purchased their ticker at www.TickerMedia.com (there are other companies obviously if you just do a google search on sports ticker). You have to have an internet connection directly from your computer to make it work (I do not think that they have any wireless ones yet). There is a subscription fee and you can continuously scroll sports scores and news for whatever sport you want as well as news and financials like stock quotes. Hope this helps.

**Q: Is the corner booth built in or store bought?** *(in Photo Questions)*

Where did you get the corner booth?

A: Sorry it has taken me so long to respond to your question. The homeowners purchased the booth made to the dimensions they wanted by restaurantfurniture.com and I built it into the design. It is not movable if that is what you mean. Thanks for checking out the room.
