Custom Home Bar Builders in Manchester

“We built a custom home which requires a great team and a LOT of decisions. The end result is unbelievable and there is a clear MVP of the team: Betsy. We interviewed half a dozen designers. Many had a “my way or the highway” approach whereas Betsy took the time to ask about our decision process and how she can best work within that process. We live in an area with a lot of colonial style and needed to be confident our team (builder and designer) could meet our modern pallet. From start to finish we felt Betsy “got it” and was a consistent voice in a very long and sometime endless series of decisions. The results speak for themselves and we highly encourage you to visit her website gallery and seek out references.”

“We had an excellent experience, start to finish, with the gut renovation of our large primary bathroom (May - July 2025) Designer Eliza was great to work with. Her expertise and experience kept everything grounded in reality, while her eye for design helped us make choices to put together colors and materials that we absolutely love and felt 100% personal and custom, never cookie-cutter. Project Manager Bryan was always there for us, answering questions, keeping on top of all of the details big and small, and making sure we knew what to expect every step of the way. All of the contractors, sub-contractors, and craftspeople who came to do work were highly skilled, efficient, professional, friendly, and tidy. Was there the odd delay in shipment, minor miscommunication, or human error? Sure, in such a large project there are going to be hiccups here and there. But most importantly, everything was handled super professionally and it was genuinely as smooth as could be reasonably expected. Demo began the first week of May, and the bathroom was about 95% complete and useable by the last week of June. There were a few weeks to wait for the glass door install (which was expected and communicated from the very start), and a couple of backordered plumbing fixtures that didn't arrive until late July (temporary replacements were installed in the meantime so the shower was fully functional). But all told, we "moved out" of our room for under two months. None of it was cheap, of course. That said, we found them totally in the same range as other places we met, and felt we got really great quality. Not only the quality of the gorgeous bathroom that we love, but great quality in the people who made it happen. Would ABSOLUTELY use Design 1 again if we do another big reno.”

“Second time working with them. First for a large kitchen, now for a master bath. Both times they were outstanding start to finish. We were able to live through the renovations because of our complete trust in the team each day to be in and out of our home. Expertly managed by Matt for a nearly perfect “transformative” outcome. Highly recommended.”
