Gabor Design Build, LLC offers innovative and attractive design solutions for bathroom remodels, kitchen remodels, home additions and so much more.  If you can dream it, we can design it, plan it and build it...from concept to completion.

A home is defined as “the place where one lives permanently, as a member of a family or household”. Here at Gabor Design Build, we feel it is so much more.  Our homes are an extension of who we are: what we do within the walls of our abodes shapes our mood, affects our productivity, and influences our outlook on life. Since our inception in 2001, paying close attention to every small detail is what we do best. 

Gabor Design Build begins each project with one simple goal in mind – to make people happy by designing amazing spaces for them. But we don't stop there, we run our business a bit differently – we get to know you and your family, personally.  We do not feel we can properly design a space for you without knowing how you plan to live in it.

**★★★★★ — HU-752375197, Nov. 2024**

> Tara and MJ did an excellent job helping us design our dream basement. They did a great job making sure we stayed on schedule and within budget. Their design choices were perfect and always exactly what we were looking for. Bruce was extremely helpful and involved with our basement project throughout the whole process. He took the time to ensure that every aspect of the project, from the layout to the finishing touches, was carefully planned and executed. It was clear that he genuinely cared about the quality of the work and the outcome of the project. Beth did a phenomenal job cleaning every square inch of our basement. I was so impressed with her attention to detail. The carpenter who worked on our basement was always respectful and diligent while working. He did a fantastic job with everything he worked on. From the painters, to floor insulation, plumbing, and drywall insulators who entered our home; everyone was always so respectful and impressive. We have nothing but great things to say about everyone who helped work on our dream basement!
>
> With Gabor’s dedication and commitment, our basement turned out exactly as we envisioned it. We highly recommend their services to anyone looking for a reliable and detail-oriented professional for their home projects.

**★★★★★ — Jerry Bustamente, March 2022**

> Strong Kudos to Gabor Design Build Remodel of Our Master Bathroom. Gabor did a magnificent job remodeling our bathroom. Nic Kender did a masterful job managing the project. He went above and beyond and came in on schedule and budget with extremely high quality which is not easy for remodelers given supply chain shortages. Most importantly, communication was top notch.
>
> Between my wife and I we have built 3 homes and had 4 major remodels so we knew what to expect and Gabor exceeded our expectations.
>
> We highly recommend and trust Gabor.

> p.s. Full disclosure. We are not related to or acquainted with anyone who works at Gabor.

**Comment from Gabor Design Build:**

> Thank you so much for your kind words. Your recommendation means so much to us. It was truly a pleasure working with you.

**★★★★★ — Donna Trew, Dec. 2017**

> Lisa Kurtz Designer--Project:  Gut and remodel an early 1900's kitchen and mudroom--.  Lisa tackled the project with knowledgeable creative enthusiasm.. She was always available for questions and concerns during the process.  Lisa introduced me to new designs, products, and stores while always listening to my ideas--therefore it was a collaborative effort.  Great attention was paid to every detail in function and design.  Lisa created a beautiful design that utilized my space to the optimum above and beyond my expectations.  She is amazing and I will be forever grateful to her!!

**Comment from Gabor Design Build:**

> Donna, thank you so much for the kind words! It was a pleasure for us to work with you!

**★★★★★ — szaske, Aug. 2017**

> We hired Gabor to replace our master bathroom double vanity top. Our designer was delightful to work with and arranged the installation with minimal hassle for us. We are delighted with our lovely new quartz surface and Kohler fixtures.

**★★★★★ — Carol R, Feb. 2017**

> Recently finished a main bath update and again the process was smooth and we love the results!  Now, on to the kitchen.  Highly recommend Gabor.

**Comment from Gabor Design Build:**

> Thank you Carol!  Tara is very excited to work with you again on your upcoming projects!

**★★★★★ — Dana Cook, Feb. 2017**

> Gabor Design Build (GDB) have been phenomenal.  We contacted Nathan Gabor about purchasing land and building a new house and the processes couldn’t be going better.  Always professional, courteous, and kind, Nathan and his entire staff have helped us though every step of the build process making it as easy as possible.
>
> The advantages of working with GDB are endless.  First off, Nathan is an architect that fully understand the trade-off between form and function.  Furthermore, he is brilliant at striking the perfect balance to provide you with a beautiful home that is extremely functional.  While this will be our second home, it is our first time building, and the number of decisions to be made are nearly infinite.  Nathan and the entire GDB team are exceptional at making the process easy.  We simply put together photographs of exteriors and interiors that we liked, shared it with the GDB team, and when we showed up at the showroom, they had everything laid out with suggestions for everything.
>
> Sarah, who helped us with interior selections, had so perfectly picked out everything that we essentially just had to say yes to her selections.  But as we did that, she carefully watched our reactions, and inquired further if she didn’t believe we were 100% satisfied with what she had picked out.  With a few quick questions, she would return with a couple other options, one of which was always perfect.  The GDB team is truly great at what they do.
>
> All of this was done keeping our budget in mind.  Nathan made sure he had the house within our preset budget, and whenever we would ask for upgrade options he was always extremely fast to respond with options, the benefits, and costs.  There are no hidden expenses with GDB.
>
> Lastly, and most importantly to us, the GDB Team are good people.  Just ask around the Germantown/Mequon area, and you will only find good news.  They are great to their clients and great to their community.  Just check out their Facebook page to see just a small fraction of what they do for their community.

**★★★★ — lajlaj, Jan. 2014**

> The Gabor team takes very good care of their clients. We have been very happy with their quality of work and attention to detail. They address the surprises problems a remodel can bring till the problem is resolved. Nathan was helpful in walking us through the steps and answering all the questions and dilemma's which come with remodeling--making what could be a overwhelming experience - a smooth one.
> Rakesh & Laj

**★★★★★ — Kathy Osowski, Dec. 2013**

> Very professional.  I trust them.  Great follow through.  I would hire them again for a larger job.  Knows how to work with older architecturally detailed homes (stucco, lead glass, wood work, sculpted plaster, etc.)  Clean and on time.  Works the full day.  Excellent work.  Worth the price unless you don't care about high quality.

**★★★★★ — nirmalinbetween, Dec. 2013**

> We remodeled a house that is almost 90 years old. They did a wonderful job with very innovative ideas and were easy to communicate with. They understood our vision for the space and made it happen.

This amazing beach front property on the coast of Lake Michigan went through a complete renovation in 2007. Every room in this estate went through some form of transformation.

  - Description: While this magnificent estate was constructed in 2009 by Gabor Design Build, it's inspired by the charm of French Provincial Manor homes of the 1930's. Reclaimed 1800s cream city brick, a restored fire-back above the range imported from a French Chateau and finial hinges on hefty doors are just some of the small details that speak volumes in this home. A tall chimney covered with decades old ivy, a gothic window and magical wrought iron bridge; seem to step off the pages of an old mystery novel.…

## Community Q&A

**Q: Love the wall tile cap. Who is the manufacturer of it?** *(in Photo Questions)*

It's very soft and simple.  Thank you

A: Hello Leslie - We tried to locate the information for you, however, this is an older project done before things were digital, and this designer has since moved elsewhere. Our apologies.

**Q: Do you know what stone was used for the patio and walls?** *(in Photo Questions)*

Is it possibly Chilton stone?

A: Kelli - The wood for the deck is White Oak and your instincts were correct on the stone - It's Chilton Limestone.

**Q: Dining Room Table** *(in Photo Questions)*

I’d love to know where this dining room table is from, I can’t seem to locate it anywhere.

A: Courtney, I actually did a little digging and found the information for the Interior Designer on that project. It was a number of years ago, but her name is Kim Temkim-Taylor Design and her mobile number is (262) 853-6557.

**Q: Gray cabinet paint color?** *(in Photo Questions)*

This kitchen is fabulous!  I also found this photo through Houzz.  I was wondering what paint color was used for the gray cabinet color?  

I have been searching for a warm gray that will work with warm beige and ivory tones.  Thank you.

A: Thank you so much for the nice compliment!  This home was remodeled in 2008.  The cabinet color was a custom Benjamin Moore blend, so we do not have record of the formula used.  Take the image into a Benjamin Moore store, see if they can match it as close as possible.  Good Luck!

**Q: I was curious what paint colors you used for the walls and trim.** *(in Photo Questions)*

Absolutely beautiful...I was curious what paint colors you used for the walls and trim for this project.

A: The stain color was a custom blend to match the existing historical finishes.  In this case, the homeowner used her own painter for the interior walls, so we do not have record of her choices.  Thank you for your comments and inquiry :-)

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

What are the specs for the floor? Thanks!

A: 3/4" and 2-1/4" 2nd and Better Maple
