**★★★★★ — April Seasock, May 2018**

> My husband and I were recently in the process of selling our home. We were in a time crunch to complete a few projects around our house. Mel Kelley Design/Build delivered and it was beyond our expectations! They were a real life saver at a time when we needed it the most. We appreciate the quality and the timeliness of service. Mel Kelley Design/Build will always be our go-to for home improvement and repairs.

**★★★★★ — Amy Johns, Oct. 2017**

> When we first started interviewing prospective contractors we took 6 different quotes/designs. Ultimately we went with Mel Kelley Design Build because Mel took exactly what we said we wanted and made a beautiful design that was also functional. Another factor that influenced us was his cabinetry product line along with his warranty. We felt we were getting the best products for the price. We were not disappointed.
>
> Mel's team completed the project in the time frame he proposed as well as the projected budget range. He was very up front with the challenges that came up (as there always is in construction) and did his best to minimize extra costs to us.   Jeremy and Pat came to our house promptly at the same time every day and cleaned up everything as they left, which was important to us since we had a toddler running around. They were completely professional and respectful in our home. Mel was a great communicator, was always available and helpful with any questions or concerns that came up. We are really happy we went with his company, and truly enjoy our new kitchen.

**★★★★ — User, June 2015**

> This is the 2nd project  Mel and his company have done for us.
> JD was great about helping us  plan our project. He was professional and had some great  tips to help save money.
>
> Matt was an awesome worker. Professional and  his work was done to our high standards. He also liked to spend time  each day taking time to greet our dogs. Matt is like a family member . We enjoyed getting to know him.
> Another  reason we chose Mel. His company is like family.
> Don and Cheryl Snyder

**★★★★★ — Jane Scott, March 2015**

> We completely renovated our kitchen.  The job began with shoring up our floor which was not properly constructed 30 years ago.  In addition to new flooring, cabinets, countertops and appliances, we also completely renewed the electrical service.  We are very pleased with the results.  J.D. Kline ran the job and did much of the work.  The sub-contractors (countertops and tile) were very skilled.  Coordination with them was very smooth.  Our job was finished on-budget and on time, resulting in a beautiful new kitchen!

**★★★★★ — teamgubb, March 2015**

> Mel Kelley Design/Build delivered on everything and more. From expectations, planning, and communication to completion. Our renovation is more beautiful than we ever could have imagined. The craftsmanship of the team is nothing but perfection. Mel Kelley & his team are not satisfied until you are satisfied. We couldn't be more pleased with the entire renovation process.  If you are looking to build or renovate your home or business and would like to have a team working for you that stays on budget & deadlines, listens, understands and incorporates your ideas, we highly recommend  Mel Kelley and his talented team of craftsman. We look forward to our next renovation project with Mel Kelley Design/Build.

**★★★★★ — User, Feb. 2014**

> Intelligent, professional guys who are easy to work with.  They listen to what you want and won't stop until you are happy.

**★★★★★ — christina5, Jan. 2013**

> Mel Kelley Design/Build has an excellent and professional staff.  We are in the process of completing a full home renovation and are very pleased with all of our results.
> The quality of work is fantastic and the caliber of Mel's crew is great!  We have enjoyed working with this company and would recommend them to friends and co-workers.

**★★★★★ — jmmessi, Jan. 2013**

> Once my husband and I decided what we wanted to remodel, we interviewed 3 companies. We chose Mel Kelley for several reason's:
> Project Manager on site
> Price competitive
> Professionalism
> Personal touch/Family type feeling
>
> Mel personally included us in every decision related to our project. We spent whole days together visiting the companies that provided the products needed for the remodel.
> Mel never rushed us when making decisions and he was always available to answer any questions.
> Our project consisted of a complete remake of the kitchen, master bathroom and the main bathroom. We also refurbished the laundry area, dining room, living room, foyer and painted and re-floored 2 bedrooms. A new front door including outside lights and a new front doorstep and sidewalk were installed.
>
> Mel's team was on site at our home for approximately 6 months. They were always courteous and they treated our home as their own. At the end of every work day the team cleaned up the area and left the house as they found it.  The team is talented, experienced and professional. They didn't cut corners, always went the extra step to get a feature exactly right, were meticulous and actively asked our opinion as solutions were being considered.  It is reassuring to have professionals that are more particular than the owner.   And it goes without saying, we are thrilled with the final outcome; Our home looks like we wanted it to look.
>
> Mel is a 'can do' person. The one thing that really impressed me about Mel is, no matter what our request Mell never said "no we cannot do it". He would always find a way to accommodate our preferences.  Completely focused, skilled, discriminating, reliable, trustworthy and competitively priced.  Mel and his Design/Build team are our choice for our next project.

**★★★★★ — barbhauck, Jan. 2013**

> We experienced a tremendous amount of damage to our townhome with the flood that hit our area in October 2011.  We had 16 feet of water, (basement and first floor).  Mel was recommended to us and responded to our call the next day.  Damage was extensive as you can imagine.  Everything had to be redone from the insulation in the basement ceiling, to all electrical and hvac, to replacing the firewalls on both sides of our townhome, to replacing windows, doors, walls as well as  the entire kitchen needed replaced.  Once the insurance paperwork was "settled" they started--Mel was fantastic in the planning stages, took us out 1 day to shop for all we would need-flooring choices, kitchen cabinets and counters, plumbing and fixtures.  We never would have been able to do what was done and have the outcome we have  without his help.  Once the insurace checks started coming the work really got started and Mel and his team worked diligently and we were back in our "new" home in February 2012.   We  highly recommend Mel and his team.  He is knowledgeable, his team members respectful and hardworking, organized and he kept us in the know with everything that was happening.  We definately would recommend him to anyone looking for great work done!
