They remodeled our primary bathroom, guest bathroom, and downstairs half bath, and the results exceeded our expectations. Their design team quickly understood our style and created a beautiful plan with colors and finishes that fit our home and lifestyle perfectly. During construction, the project manager was thoughtful, organized, and very respectful of our schedule, which made the process as smooth as possible. We also appreciated how the general manager checked in regularly to make sure we were happy and to see if there was anything they could do to improve our experience. The quality, communication, and customer care were outstanding from start to finish. We would absolutely recommend Thayer Design Build and would give them six stars out of five! **★★★★★ — Stacy Mellem, April 2025** > We worked with Thayer Design Build to do a refresh of our kitchen. We were extremely impressed by their professionalism, craftsmanship, and communication. > > Attention to detail was superb, especially since ours was a refresh and not a complete remodel. That means that they had to adjust and work within the confines of those elements that weren't changing. They listened to our needs and came up with creative solutions to the challenges of our space. > > Not only were they conscientious, taking great care of our home, they were also friendly and easy to work with. We highly recommend this firm. **★★★★★ — judisanders, Dec. 2024** > They built a new carport and deck for me and did a great job. The final result is beautiful and functional. **★★★★★ — Steve Brennan, Dec. 2024** > The Thayer team completely redesigned and built our kitchen. They were masterful every step of the way from design to completion. We were kept in the loop throughout the process and they never fell behind their timeline. The craftspeople were friendly and very detail-oriented. My wife even got flowers from them after an unexpected surgery! Highly recommended with absolutely no reservations! **★★★★★ — HU-209396326, Dec. 2024** > Thayer's team worked closely with us in the design phase to dial in as many details as possible, then constantly checked in with us, tweaking direction and details, to keep everything tracking to our vision and preferences. In addition, they were really accommodating with the kitchen space, as our pantry and refrigerator were still our only food storage--so we were able to continue eating "mostly" at home while our kitchen was torn down to studs and subfloor. They fixed details in the final work I didn't even notice, and did a couple changes, e.g. reframing a window that was very slightly out of horizontal, that made our kitchen/bedroom full remodel feel just perfect. We are thrilled with the results. **★★★★★ — Dudley Chelton, Dec. 2024** > We can’t say enough good things about our experience with the design and remodeling of our kitchen and two bathrooms by Thayer Design & Build. Every step of the process went smoothly. The 3-month project started and finished on time. From beginning to end, Jared and the Thayer team were helpful and highly competent. Communication was excellent in all phases of the project and every member of the team was respectful and a pleasure to work with. It was especially enjoyable to work with Jeff and Rory during the construction phase. They were very courteous and adaptable throughout the project. Every request was taken in stride, and they often suggested better solutions to our requests. The quality of the workmanship couldn’t be better, down to the finest details. The professionalism and perfectionism of the Thayer team made the remodeling project an easy and enjoyable experience. These are not words that clients commonly say at the end of a major home remodel. We highly recommend Thayer for whatever your remodeling needs and desires may be. **★★★★★ — organiclife, Dec. 2024** > Thayer is a great company to work with. They show up on time everyday, clean up at the end of each day, they give you a work timeline and stick to it and they stay on budget. Everyone is professional and friendly. I would highly recommend this company. **★★★★★ — Carmen Martin, Dec. 2024** > We loved working with Jared and his team. Communication was clear and we always knew where the project stood. We would feel comfortable in engaging them for any future projects and recommend them to anyone who has a remodel project. **★★★★★ — HU-63117486, June 2024** > Thayer Design Build is outstanding! Jared and his team consistently prioritize quality, service, and integrity in every project. The bathroom and utility room remodel he completed for my family was a smaller project for them, but they still did it with care and attention. The crew that completed it were clean, experienced and reliable. > > I highly recommend them for any construction needs! **★★★★★ — Leslie Bradner, May 2023** > We were completely impressed with Thayer Design Build throughout our kitchen remodeling project. Natalie, our Interior Designer, listened and developed plans that reflected our needs and wants for the new space. During construction we came to completely trust our project manager and greatly appreciated Jeff’s attention to detail and level of care that he brought to the project. Having managed some smaller home remodeling projects on my own, I was completely impressed at their level of coordination with subs and how they stayed on or ahead of schedule throughout the entire four-month project. Each and every Thayer employee and subcontractor was top-notch and I would highly recommend Thayer Design Build for any home remodeling project. **Comment from Thayer Design Build:** > Leslie, > Thank you for your fantastic 5-star review! We're overjoyed to have brought your dream kitchen to life, and it's been an absolute pleasure building a relationship with you. Your kindness and high recommendation are truly appreciated. If you need anything in the future, we're always here to help! > -Jared Thayer **★★★★★ — Ross Hatton, Feb. 2023** > Thayer Design Build designed and built us a garage addition with roof terrace. The whole process was very smooth and everything went like clockwork, finishing within a day of schedule on a multi-month project. > > We were especially appreciative of their creativity in meeting some tricky design requirements for the layout, communication in working with us to incorporate some uncommon features, and attention to detail. > > The whole crew really cared about the project, and repeatedly went the extra mile to improve the final product. **Comment from Thayer Design Build:** > Thank you Ross, > > We really enjoyed working with you and your family as well! **★★★★★ — Melissa C, Jan. 2023** > Jared and his team and all his subcontractors are top notch. Skilled. friendly and dedicated to quality. Our kitchen and bathroom remodels turned out great. **Comment from Thayer Design Build:** > Thank you so Much Melissa!
