Custom Cabinet Makers Near Lake Geneva

“There have been a number of projects completed at my home by Advance Design Studio. The most recent project was an upgrade of my basement apartment. The options presented to me in the visionary phase were beyond what I could have imagined on my own. During the planning process, a realistic timeline was presented and executed according to the plan. Clean up and follow through was thorough. I recommend ADS for remodeling or addition projects. Their design seminars on Saturdays are a great place to start when a person is ready for a lifestyle upgrade in their home.”

“My project with D1 recently ended and I couldn’t be happier with the entire experience. Everyone I worked with from Brian in design to Mabel in architecture and to Linda in architecture design to Peter my project manager, were extremely helpful with the design process, easy to work with, and patient with me. Their Builder Trend site makes it so easy to do everything and communicate with the team. I did a first floor remodel and after interviewing many firms, I chose Design First because they thought out of the box and reconfigured my kitchen in a space I never before considered while also taking into consideration design elements I wanted to incorporate. I credit the wonderful experience I had to my project manager Peter. He is first class. Not only was this my first remodel but I’m also a first time homeowner and Peter answered every question I had, was patient when I changed my mind on windows or wanted to see other options for range hoods, and he provided great recommendations for tuck pointing that were out of the scope of our assigned project. During the demo and construction stages I was out of the country twice and Peter was always available to talk, he sent me photos and messages of the work in process to make sure I knew and was happy with what was going on. It was a relief to have this constant communication because I was able to change the shape of am arched doorway while abroad which I love. When problems or hiccups arose, as they will, Peter was straightforward, responsive, and got things done. When my range hood was blemished, Peter and Keith were the first to say it’s need to be redone and were just as unhappy as I was. Knowing that they expected the same outcome I did showed me they cared about the quality of the finished project as much as I did. Peter also took care of minor cosmetic touches and walked me through some system maintenance issues. Peter is great to work with because he is responsive, direct, friendly and easy to work with. I trust Peter and have already recommended him to a good friend. When I decide to tackle other projects I will contact D1 and Peter. Thanks so much!”

“Working with BDS has been the best experience we have had with a contractor (we have built two homes, built an addition, and renovated two times prior with others.) BDS communicated clearly and thoroughly at each step. We were away but the communication via call, text, email, build app and FaceTime was impeccable and easy. They worked with us to enclose a vaulted ceiling, install a light for that dining area and then create a larger master bath and closet en suite upstairs. They guided with selections of light, plumbing, hardware, flooring, cabinets and closets. They allowed us to choose our look. Bryan checked the site frequently and John was there every day. They kept the site neat and safe during COVID-19 too. All the subcontractors were very respectful towards our family when we were there and to our neighbors. I cannot say enough great things about the high quality and professionalism at BDS; a true joy to work with.”
