I had my kitchen remodeled and am in love with it. As for the sazama team…design was fun and my designer Kimberly was great with recommendations and my likes and dislikes. Carlos is amazing and his expertise managing and overseeing all of the work is amazing. Work was on time, teams were professional and courteous and cleaned up every day. Their contractors had same great qualities. They all are craftsman and it shows in their work > > I am so happy I had such dedicated, caring experts from start to finish and I recommend Sazama wholeheartedly. **★★★★★ — Thomas Murphy, June 2020** > We used Sazama on 2 projects, building our family room and recently remodeling our kitchen. They are exceptional. We have an older home and they are extremely creative designing and modifying our home for modern living. Their listening to the client, attention to detail and client follow-up are exceptional. All of their staff and subcontractors do top quality work. They work in the house with minimal disruption to the homeowner. > Carlos, our Project Manager, is exceptional in every way. His creative problem solving ability, especially when dealing with older homes, excels. He follows up on everything and frequently stops at the project site to supervise progress. He wants the client 110% satisfied, and we are. > Tina was our designer on our recent kitchen remodel and she worked tirelessly to make sure we love every aspect of our kitchen. She was willing to make numerous trips with us to find the perfect countertop. Her design ideas and advice on the most efficient kitchen layout and cabinet and other selections were perfect. Our kitchen is a joy to cook in. > They were always on budget and came in earlier than the deadline they gave us. I highly recommend them. **Comment from Sazama Design Build Remodel:** > Thank you so much! We are so happy that you love your family room and kitchen! **★★★★★ — AARON ANDERSEN, March 2018** > Picked Sazama for a kitchen remodel and they did a great job. The whole crew was intent on getting the project right for us--very happy with the final product. There were a couple small hiccups and these were handled well and with good communication. Everyone is a familiar face and they are even more concerned about getting things right than we were. Mid-range with regards to bid compared to others we discussed the project with. Stayed on budget. Full service, including design. **★★★★★ — Jessica Kosempa, June 2017** > Sazama completed two full bathroom remodels for us and we could not be happier with the results. Sara is so easy to work with and can make your ideas become a reality. Carlos is the best at ensuring things stay on schedule and your home is treated with care. We will no doubt consult with Sazama first as we do more work to our house. **★★★★★ — Shery C, May 2017** > We have done many major remodeling projects over the years including four kitchens. Our experience with Sazama Design was outstanding. From the start of the kitchen project they were professional and conscientious. Sara designed a beautiful kitchen which reflected the style of our home and Carlos and his staff made it into reality. As in any remodeling project issues arose which the Sazama staff quickly resolved. They were wonderful to work with, communicate well during each phase of the project and most importantly want you to be happy with the final outcome. **Comment from Sazama Design Build Remodel:** > Hi Shery, we enjoyed working with you and think your kitchen is beautiful! Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us! **★★★★★ — Annie Schueppert, Nov. 2016** > Sazama Design Build worked magic in our home. They changed a tired old house into a comfortable, stylish family home. We could not improve the process...from inception to outcome, it was a brilliant team effort in which they took our ideas and made them better, then made them reality! The project was completed on time and under budget by talented people working from every discipline. From Don's design, to Renee and Rhonda in the office, to Tony and Carlos on the project site, countless subs who worked with the same dedication to quality and customer service... all top notch. I refer them to friends without hesitation every chance I get. If your remodeling dream includes working with professionals who desire a seamless construction process culminating in a beautiful outcome as much as you do, call Sazama. **Comment from Sazama Design Build Remodel:** > We are so happy that you love your new space! Thanks for sharing your experience, Annie! **★★★★★ — mstroh61, June 2016** > We contracted in early 2015 with Sazama to do a major remodeling of a condominium we purchased in Elm Grove. Although the project took a month longer than we had hoped (5 1/2 months), the results were excellent. The project included a complete kitchen redo as well as the master bathroom and the other bath and 1/2.plus much work on the rest of the condo. We were quite specific about what the final look should be and Sazama was able to meet these expectations. The quality of the workmanship was first rate. The sub contractors were all very skilled and helpful. The project manager was always available and responsive as were other members of the Sazama team. It was big project and of course there were bumps in the road but the issues were resolved fairly and smoothly. As with all projects like this , there were post completion minor issues , which they continued to follow up on. Finally although the original quoted cost was exceeded by 10%, this was primarily due to our changes. All in a job well done. **★★★★★ — akkfis, Sept. 2015** > From the start of our project to the end Sazama fulfilled all of our expectations and more .We enjoyed everyone we worked with throughout the entire job. They are a great team that works with you and are very organized.We look forward to working with them in the future. And we would not hesitate for a minute to recommend them to others. **★★★★★ — johntweedie, July 2015** > Whole house remodel, plumbing, electrical, added a/c, new kitchen and baths, plaster repair, new lighting, windows, floors, paint. Thank you! **★★★★★ — jg2020x, Feb. 2015** > We recently used Sazama for a major remodel of an 80 year old house. (Kitchen, Bath, hallway, wood floors throughout first floor) > > Needless to say, remodeling is not a pleasant process but Sazama did an extraordinary job of getting it done on time, within budget, and as painless as possible. > > Starting with the design process they were very helpful in balancing a desire for a first class project with reasonable budget parameters. In almost all cases, we used the designers recommendations and in the final review, glad we did. > > The execution was excellent. They provide a personal website with detailed schedule and stuck to the schedule with the only exception of changes that we asked for. > > The Sazama team is wonderful. The direct Sazama employees as well as the subcontractors were all pleasant, professional, and never an imposition. > > The project manager, Carlos Dorger was on call 24/7 and has an incredible attention to detail and follow through. > > I think the most important comment I can make is their ability to resolve a problem. We had an issue with the refrigerator door not being able to fully open. Without hesitation, they found a suitable solution, modified the cabinets, swapped out the refrigerator, making what appeared to be a huge problem, into an elegant solution at no additional charge to us. > > Sazama is a premium contractor, but as the saying goes, "you get what you pay for"! > > Long story short, I am glad I used Sazama and would highly recommend them. **Comment from Sazama Design Build Remodel:** > Thank you for the very kind review! We are so very proud of this project and we are thrilled that you love it. Enjoy the new kitchen and powder room! **★★★★★ — User, Nov. 2014** > We are on our second major project with Sazama in the past decade. They just keep getting better! Their strongest points: > > 1\. Creative design that makes great use of space, and is ahead of the market. > 2\. Very responsive to customer needs > 3\. Very respectful of the age of the house, and the setting > 4\. Once designed, the management of the project is superb. No detail is ignored. > 5\. After project completion, they make sure everything is right. **Comment from Sazama Design Build Remodel:** > Thanks for taking the time to tell people about our work! We take a lot of pride in our work and we are glad that it shows! **★★★★★ — spunkytimes10, July 2014** > Imagine going from an outdated bathroom with a pink tub, failing plumbing and a hideous floor to a gorgeous glass walk-in shower with beautiful stone wall and flooring to match. That is what Nicki Losinski and Sazama did for us. Nicki's design was phenomenal and she made picking out the finish components easy and fun. Our remodel job was a complete tear down to the studs and Sazama's team was great! They were on time, professional and always stayed in contact with us during the construction process. I highly recommend Sazama and Nicki, you won't be disappointed! **Comment from Sazama Design Build Remodel:** > Thanks for the kind review! We are so happy to hear that you loved our design! ## Selected projects - [Fresh + Bright](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/fresh-bright-pj-vj~1641429) - Location: Mequon, WI - Photos: 4 - Description: Transitional Kitchen and Wet Bar - [Crafted Elegance](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/crafted-elegance-pj-vj~1147004) - Location: Elm Grove, WI - Photos: 5 - Description: This beautiful Elm Grove Kitchen has an over-sized island, Candelabra orb light fixtures, stainless steel appliances, hardwood floors, quartz counters and painted white cabinets.
