### Reviews

**★★★★★ — Erik Milsch, Aug. 2020**

> Brian from Bild designed and build both of our new fireplaces. This is his 2nd job for us and we will ask him happily again to do more renovation/remodeling for us next year.

**★★★★★ — George and Kathy Z., July 2020**

> We can enthusiastically recommend Brian Drew and the team at designbild. We hired Brian for a kitchen remodel and he listened to our design vision and use patterns. He incorporated those into a beautifully functional kitchen. Brian provided advice about our choices when asked and offered great suggestions of his own. We really appreciated the custom aspects he procured and integrated to add some uniqueness to the space. The construction crew was top notch, both with communication and the quality of their work. We would work with designbild again.

**★★★★★ — Mark L, Nov. 2019**

> We hired Brian for a kitchen refresh last year.  He was patient with color selection, honest about cost and helped us stay within our budget.  We appreciated his professionalism throughout the process.  We are extremely pleased with the result, and were most impressed by his detail in maintaining the look and color palette for our 1924 bungalow.

**Comment from designbild:**

> Thanks Mark! it was great working with you both on this project

**★★★★★ — Erik Milsch, Sept. 2018**

> We hired Brian for a full bathroom and powder room renovation. He impressed us with professionalism and very good design and project management skills. The hole project was delivered on budget with no surprises. The only delays we had were from back orders of certain materials we chose. We can highly recommend him and will hire him anytime again if need be.

**Comment from designbild:**

> Thanks so much for the review!!! it was a pleasure working with you and I'm so happy with the way it all turned out!

**★★★★★ — J. Dering, Aug. 2018**

> Brian does a great job and has wonderful eye.  We were very happy with the quality of his designs. He is also very patient!

**Comment from designbild:**

> Thanks for the review!! its always fun working on the different jobs in your home!!

**★★★★★ — Rachel Beyer, March 2018**

> Brian was very attentive to our needs and oversaw the entire project from design through construction. He was great to work with and made the process of remodeling our house as stress free as possible.

**★★★★★ — susan j, Jan. 2018**

> I hired Brian and Designbild to remodel my bathroom. It was gutted completely and everything from the plumbing to electrical, tiling, painting, taking out a closet to make the bathroom bigger was done. It turned out great. The workers were all professional. Brian was so helpful in the design of the bathroom and with coordinating all the various workers who were involved. I had 5 quotes before I began and thought that this company was the best value with excellent quality fixtures, cabinets and tile. I would highly recommend them and Brian to my friends and family.

**★★★★★ — Jim & Tina Draeger, Oct. 2017**

> We strongly recommend Brian Drew and his team from designbild. The team was professional, knowledgeable, and accessible from design to completion.
>
> Our kitchen had not been touched since our house was built in 1964. It was in desperate need of renovation, and Brian had the creative knowhow to help us design the kitchen of our dreams. He was patient with our questions, listened to our needs and vision, and delivered what he promised.
>
> The work crew became family seeing them every day for two months. They were always concerned about our comfort throughout the entire remodel. They have truly mastered their work as an art form, never rushed to complete, and finished the job correctly on the first attempt.
>
> We came in under budget and on time and absolutely love our new kitchen.
>
> Three cheers for Brian Drew and designbild!

**★★★★★ — Carolyn Weggen, April 2017**

> Brian has a great design sense and is very easy to work with. He always considered our vision for the bathroom remodel and helped keep us on track. If we weren't sure which direction to go Brian always had alternative options for us to explore.  The construction crew did quality work while maintaining a clean work site.  We would definitely work with Brian and the crew from Desgnbild on our next project.

**★★★★ — momof31955, Aug. 2016**

> Brian from besignbild did a great job through out our project of rebuilding our bathroom.   We had a budget of which Brian was fearful he would not be able to do the work we wanted on our budget.   We worked together and came to a great compromise.   His team was also very professional and did the work on a very timely manner.   I would recommend Brian and the design bild team to anyone.   He was available by phone anytime and was on project almost every other day.   I LOVE MY BATHROOM.

**★★★★★ — rickcallies, May 2016**

> Brian organized, designed, and supervised our golf course bathroom renovation. He was always very professional and focused the project around what I was looking for. At the end he achieved the vision I had from the start. I was extremely satisfied with the entire project from start to finish. I will be looking to renovate another bathroom next winter and he will be the person I am calling.

**★★★★★ — careyb1948, April 2016**

> Brian Drew was my guide throughout a major remodeling project. His skills, talent and professionalism gave me confidence. Together we designed and purchased everything from kitchen and bathroom cabinets, fixtures, paint colors, blinds etc. Brian honored my ideas yet guided me kindly when my choices would not have fit with the design. My husband and I love our newly remodeled home!!! Our sincere thank you Brian. We are proud to be a reference for him.

  - Description: This project all started with the desire to create a fully functional kitchen for our clients. Having spent the last decade in a cramped kitchen with non working appliances they wanted a space they could use and entertain in! The space was not overly large so a lot of considerations we made to open the space up without limiting the usable space. In addition, being on a rather tight budget, we really wanted to get the most for the money being spent - we were able to work around the existing floor…

  - Location: West Allis, WI

  - Description: The original design called for the full-length soffit to be removed and the space to be completely opened up. However, it became apparent that the soffit housed a beam which supported the cantilever on the back of the home and therefore, would need to remain intact to avoid a huge cost increase. At that point our focus shifted to camouflaging the soffit to make it look like it was always supposed to be there and that we chose to incorporate it into the design. We decided that the soffit would be…
