They responded within hours of contacting them about a new concern at my home. They quickly addressed the situation. **★★★★★ — HU-371738245, Jan. 2024** > I can’t recommend Ellsworth Design Build enough!! Such an incredible company with incredible people! Wonderful work, communication, pricing and reliability. They have been true lifesavers making it possible for us to have work done to our new house from out of state and be ready for our move date! Everyone went above and beyond to do all that we needed!! The kindness that each person in this company embodies makes it a special company to work with!! **★★★★★ — Anita Knowles, Dec. 2023** > Ellsworth Design Build has performed 2 projects in our home. A complete kitchen remodel and laundry room renovation. Both projects were performed with the highest degree of professionalism and quality. A project manager was on the site every day work was performed. He made sure each phase of the project was done correctly and on time. Combined with their excellent design services, we have a beautiful kitchen and laundry room that is the envy of our friends. > > We are using Ellworth Design again to remodel our bathrooms in the fall 2024 > > When you hire Ellsworth Design, you are getting the best services available in the construction industry today. **★★★★★ — Stacey Pike, Dec. 2023** > When we bought our condo it needed an entire redo throughout. We thank our lucky stars one of our friends recommended Ellsworth Design Build ("EDB"). They are amazing!! They turned our condo into a beautiful home we cherish. The EDB team is professional, extremely knowledgeable and very user friendly. Even though our condo has been finished for awhile we still use EDB to handle any maintenance issues that arise. We highly recommend them - you will be very happy you hired EDB for your project. **★★★★★ — Kristin Lee, Dec. 2023** > I have used Ellsworth Design Build, and it's predecessor, many, many times over the past 8 or 9 years. First was a major re-do of my kitchen. The results were absolutely fabulous, from the design, to the actual build-out, to the interior decorating and design by Abby. The project moved smoothly, on time, and ended right before Hurricane Matthew hit. The second major project involved reconfiguring a master bedroom, bathroom, and closet. Again, the project went smoothly, overseen day to day by project manager Ken, who added his own fabulous ideas to the design. The tile work, by the same sub-contractor who did the kitchen tile and friend Kyle, is exquisite. The interior decoration, also by Abby of Ellsworth Design, is absolutely stunning. And the new, large walk-in closet is perfect. In between these major projects, the Ellsworth team has helped me with leaking water heaters (they showed up within 30 minutes of my frantic call early one morning), a new gas fireplace, installed new locks on all my doors and gates, and countless other projects which I simply couldn't do. I trust them with all my design, build, and repair needs, and I know they stand firmly behind their work, even when their suppliers or subcontractors won't. I call every member of their team my friend, and I give them the highest, best recommendation I can. **★★★★★ — User, April 2023** > Ellsworth Design Build is genuinely a company that lives their values day in & day out. Not only do they approach their work with a level of sacred craftmanship, but they approach people with the same. Every job they do, it is extremely evident that they actually care about their customer and the relationship just as much, as they do with ther project. > > A company that far exceeds any mission statement & a true testimony to the power of a REAL business. > I highly stand by & recommend this company to everyone and anyone.. **★★★★★ — Melinda Stein, May 2020** > Frank and his crew did a fantastic job on our garage remodel. They took the time to listen to our needs and style preferences, and really got our vibe. The team members were always on time and perfectionists about the smallest details. They also offered suggestions that we hadn’t thought of, and those turned out to be perfect in terms of both usability and aesthetics. We couldn’t have imagined a better final result! **Comment from Ellsworth Design Build:** > Thank you so much for the stellar review Melinda! Looking forward to working with you on any of your future designs. **★★★★★ — Larry Martin, March 2020** > What a great experience having Frank and his team take care of a small wall opening and structural beam install. The most valued part of the interaction is the communication. Frank and Team communicated clearly throughout the process; even sharing ideas on how to cut cost and time. Saving me money at the end. > I have been in the architectural profession 14years now; it is rare to come across a crew so put together. The job was done from first call to completed within days. Luckly catching the crew on a rare day they could spare the time to do this little project. > Fred & Scott arrived early and explained the process. Asked questions on how I like to finish everything out and built everything exceeding expectations. They even thought of bringing a nicer screw then I specified to enhance the finished look of the exposed beam. The work area was prepared to product the area and cleaned as if they were never there. The guys even cleaned the outside of the house where wood was being cut. > Clear communication, no hidden cost, honest and professional craftsmanship. > Thank you all at Ellsworth Design Build. Looking forward to working with you all again. > Larry M. **★★★★★ — Nancy Cunningham, Aug. 2019** > Ellsworth Design Build remodeled my 1947 kitchen. A project manager was on site everyday. I never had to be concerned about workers arriving or completing jobs. The staff kitchen designer was available for consultation, and she kept up with costs and deadlines. Ellsworth also replaced four sets of French exterior doors (the doors were ordered from another company) and that work was done expertly. Great care was taken to keep my house clean and free of dust. No trash was ever left, no one smoked near my house. This is a top of the line company. I don't need to look anywhere else for my next project. **Comment from Ellsworth Design Build:** > Thanks Nancy! It was a pleasure working with you on your beautiful kitchen and french doors. **★★★★★ — Julie Foley, Jan. 2017** > I was recommended to Ellsworth-Hallett by my realtor and I could not be happier. The entire team takes a sincere interest in your home as if it were their own. From design to completion the level of professionalism and quality of work is amazing. **★★★★★ — Linda Jackson, Jan. 2017** > First-rate experience. Outstanding quality: After purchasing our 1886 home in the Savannah Historic District, we were fortunate to be referred to Ellsworth-Hallett Home Professionals for help with needed updates. From the very first meeting with Matthew Hallett, we were comfortable with their experience, knowledge of materials and systems in historic houses, design sensibilities, and thoughtful questions about our vision and lifestyle. Matthew and Frank Ellsworth consistently provided unique solutions to issues one would expect in a 100+ year-old house. Their entire team demonstrated integrity, attention to detail, and dedication to service--every carpenter, painter, plumber, electrician. They were polite, friendly, neat, and prompt. Rooms being worked on were masked from the rest of the house and everything was clean before they left for the day. Projects were managed in a timely manner, smoothly and professionally by Raquel White, who visited at least once daily and about whom we cannot say enough wonderful things. The site supervisors were always in contact with Raquel and her responsiveness to any questions from them, or from us, was unfailingly fast and greatly appreciated. The initial scope of work was painting, floors, and renovation of the powder room. Last spring, E-H installed a new tankless water heater, replaced the roof, and replaced the HVAC system, moving it to the roof and opening up our courtyard. We love our home and are extremely happy with everything E-H has done for us to date. Now we are looking forward to them renovating the kitchen and other bathrooms. **★★★★★ — Mary Elizabeth Smith, March 2016** > Ellsworth-Hallett directed a crew at my neighbor's house--a project that turned out beautifully--but what impressed me most was the respectfulness of all of the staff working on the project. They were all professional and very tidy. The crew foreman was extraordinarily kind and went out of his way to help me while my partner was deployed and always made me feel very safe. > I have met the owners and they were equally considerate and professional, clearly taking their craft very seriously. Any work I plan to have done will be done by this group. **Comment from Ellsworth Design Build:** > Thank you very much! Our team is one of our greatest assets, thank you for the kind comments! ## Selected projects - [Sunny Mid-Century kitchen and baths](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/sunny-mid-century-kitchen-and-baths-pj-vj~7592389) - Location: Savannah, GA - Photos: 7 - [West Savannah Kitchen](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/west-savannah-kitchen-pj-vj~7504533) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 11 - Description: A desire to feature repurposed materials in this kitchen remodel sparked a convergence of sustainability and creativity.
