Northland Design & Build

When we were looking on Houzz for a Design/Build firm to complete a major remodel of our home, we read dozens and dozens of reviews for companies. We came across Northland Build and Design and saw all the glowing 5-star reviews and I thought to myself, “Yeah, sure, right! Can they really be that good?” The short answer to that question is, “yes they can!” And in fact they are.” The longer answer as to why they get so many good reviews lies in the details. Starting with the planning phase, Gina (the designer) claims there is fun to be had. And you know what? She’s right. She took us to places we never knew existed, had great suggestions for material and layout and was patient as we made decisions. She respected our choices and didn’t push her own agenda unless we were about to make a really stupid decision. The crew that came to work on our project showed up on time and ready to work. Keegan, Glen and Aaron were all respectful of our home, had great attitudes, treated our old dog with patience and politely answered a myriad of questions from us. Their attention to details and quality of work was top notch and exceeded our expectations. At the end, we were supposed to make a list of things we thought needed improvement and the list was completely empty. The finished project is amazing. The house is full of light and blends the indoor space with the outside garden so well. People walk in and are struck by how beautiful the place is and how well it works. It is perfect for entertaining, yet cozy for quiet evenings at home. I have been told my house is magical and I would have to agree. Thank you, Northland, for proving (over and above) you deserve your reputation.

The Team at Northland and Design are a step above the rest. As we all know having entire remodel top to bottom can be very stressful. Rod, Gina and team made the process very manageable with very little stress. One thing that really sticks out to me with their team is how they completed our project with a white glove attention to detail mind set. All that was orchestrated by Brian and his attention to detail, always looking out for our best interest. Thank you Northland Design for turning our 35 year old home into a modern day show stopper!

Northland Exceeded all our expectations. Gina saw my vision and she and Alicia made all the decision making so easy. We were updated weekly on what was happening or what was coming up and even though we remained living onsite Brian was very understanding and accommodating to all our needs. On top of everything, it all turned out better than expected. I can’t wait for our phase 2!

I have done two projects with Northland and wholeheartedly recommend them. The few unavoidable “hiccups” that come with a project were handled with grace and absolute professionalism. Both on the design side (thanks Alicia!) and the day to day construction process (the whole family, especially the dogs, miss seeing Rip around the house), I enjoyed every interaction with the team. And Brian P kept me in the loop throughout the entire process, which is SO NICE! Thanks Northland!

Northland did a wonderful job during a very challenging time to be a contractor. They worked hard to provide us with the best quality and timeline possible. We loved working with Alyssa the designer, and couldn’t be happier with the end result. We felt understood from a design perspective from day one, and and thrilled with our home!

I saw Northland's work at my friend's house. Northland had done a large remodel job for my friend and it was BEAUTIFUL! Not only that, my friend said she would use them again in a heartbeat...and were actually getting ready to use them again for another project. So, we began the process of working with them for remodeling our house. As the process went along, I began to realize that I didn't actually need that level of a remodel and after working with them, we had to let them know that we weren't going to proceed further. But even that went great. They were very understanding. They were wonderful to work with and if we ever need to do a bigger project, they'll be the ones we call.

The Northland team is amazing! We started our remodel dream in the Spring of 2021 and by fall of 2021 we had broken ground. Our remodel included a full remodel on the guest bathroom, kitchen, powder room, as well as updates to our laundry room, flooring, baseboards, paint, lighting, plumbing, and electrical... a new house practically! We fell in love with Gina and Alyssa the first time they visited our home. They listened to our needs and wants and hit the ground running. The design process was so much fun and Alyssa truly nailed it! She was so easy to work with, fun, and had some amazing ideas. She was available to answer questions or discuss design throughout the process and didn't hesitate to make change orders if we needed. We really felt like she had our best interests at the forefront. Her design expertise took our vision to another level and we are so thrilled with the results. Tom was our on-site contractor, dealing with all the details, sub-contractors and inspectors, so we interacted with him often and he fielded all our question and concerns. He was truly the heart of the project and kept everything running smoothly and communication flowing. He was trustworthy, detail oriented, and you could tell he really cared about the final product. Tom went above and beyond, taking great care of our home during the entire project - we so appreciate him and loved working with him! Brian was our offsite coordinator/manager and kept all the schedules and resources in line, materials orders, etc. We know he was constantly juggling it all from behind the scenes and really took the stress off of us. He went to bat for us on a few occasions and knocked it out of the park. Besides our stove being on back order (not Northland's fault), our project went so smoothly and they finished right on schedule. Brian came out after the project was complete and did a detailed walk-through and corrected any areas that needed correcting. Gina and Alyssa also came out a couple weeks after completion for another walk-through and offered design advice which was so helpful to pull the space together. We couldn't be more pleased with the entire Northland team, we sure got lucky with this crew! Our final space is more beautiful than we could have ever imagined. We are so happy with the final results. Thank you Northland! -The Halls

What an adventure! This partial remodel (kitchen, 2 bathrooms and a laundry room) transformed our modest home. Gina helped steer us toward timeless improvements and had comprehensive knowledge of what was possible and available. NL used the laser Matterport instrument to get precision measurements, which fed into comprehensive CAD drawings. This technology and the resulting renderings were central to seeing the effect of design choices and provided a seamless transition to the construction phase once those choices were made. Special improvements, incorporated in the design, to make the home more handicap accessible will allow us to "age-in-place" without needing to move at a future time. Once construction began, the skills of the workers came into play. To a man, they were careful, and showed the highest levels of professional skill, which made the result something we are proud of. They were always pleasant, very responsive to suggestion, and easy to talk to. Toward the end, we kept a joint "punch list" which kept the focus on the myriad details needing attention. Of special note were Brian, a jack-of-all-trades, who was on site a large fraction of the time and Tom who was very detail conscious. We were quite surprised one day to find Brian working behind the gas range in an impossibly confined space. The subcontractors were equally careful, and skilled, and offered numerous suggestions which led to better outcomes. Of particular note were the tile-setters. This father and son team had an exceptional eye that resulted in attractive tile layouts in all four rooms. The end result of all these contributors is something NL can be proud of and we will enjoy for the rest of our lives.

We had a great experience working with Northland. We had to make some big changes to the initial design due to some structural issues and the associated permitting delays. This slowed things down a bit but Gina, Heidi and Rachel took it in stride and worked with us to come up with a new design that we love. They were so patient answering our endless questions and offering suggestions. We were not living in the house at the time of the remodel but interacted with Jamie and Brian P. regularly. They kept us updated as they were able. Brian L. and Rip spent many days at the house after we moved back in, finishing up last minute items to complete the bathroom and kitchen. Their attention to detail and professionalism was appreciated. We love our new spaces and would definitely recommend Northland to others.

We have been extremely pleased with the results of our remodeling project with Northland. We cannot say enough about the design team from sitting down with Gina over coffee reimagining our beautiful new kitchen to both Heidi and Alyssa’s great help and advice with the design selections, particularly when we added the fireplace to the project. It was a pleasure working with Heidi as our point of contact as she kept the design process going smoothly, even with all the challenges of Covid, and was always responsive and patient with my endless questions. During construction, we really appreciated the finish work and attention to detail from Keegan, the expertise of the subcontractors, and Jamie who kept us informed and the schedule on track.

Northland did a total main floor remodel for us. We love the results. I really enjoyed working on the design with Alyssa. Not sure that I have an actual design style but Alyssa figured it out and the finished design is what I had in my head. The jobsite was always clean. Everyone on the team from Owner Gina to Project Manager Jamie to Judy the Bookkeeper answered all my questions. We would be happy to work with them again!

Gina and her design team were wonderful to work with on our extensive kitchen remodel. We so appreciated the collaborative approach as Gina carefully listened to our ideas and vision and then with her years of experience created a design that captured all we had hoped for and more - a kitchen that is both beautiful and truly functional. Rod and his construction team kept us up to date and communicated well as the project progressed, are highly skilled, and were a delight to have in our home. The entire design and build process was great and we are already looking forward to what we will have Northland back to remodel for us next!

Gina helped us with a significant redesign of our old, small kitchen. She met with us frequently and listened to our goals and aesthetic desires, with strict attention to our budget. She proposed some very creative and successful solutions for resolving several existing conditions that had been concerns to us. We couldn’t be happier with the results. Gina was a pleasure and a lot of fun to work with. The entire Northland crew was great, working through the pandemic with safety and timeliness. We would definitely work with them again!

Gina was so patient with us throughout with the design process. I had a difficult time making choices and her advice was always helpful and really fit with the vision I had for our project. She also offered some ideas that I never would have thought of on my own that made our project so much more than I had hoped for. The whole Northland team was responsive, helpful and professional. We now have the most beautiful new kitchen, great room, dining room and covered deck. They were even able to finish on time during the pandemic. I highly recommend Northland Design & Build to anyone looking for help with a remodel.

The Northland Construction and Design crew are extremely talented and professional. From the first sketches of an extensive remodel to the final stages of the project, they delivered--at budget and on time. They recognized future problems (faulty plumbing from the original build), helped us determine what was feasible, and improved on a design that matched our taste. A major shout out goes to Alyssa for all the energy and hand holding (living through a COVID remodel is stressful), and we thank the entire crew for keeping the job going. Rod and Gina have excellent subcontractors who do professional work and are excellent subspecialists. The whole house seems new on the inside. (Rod, I'll call you about the outside once we digest). Can't say enough- I would recommend Northland to any serious customer who wants to a home remodel.

Northland Design and Build did an amazing job on our home remodel. From the very beginning we knew that we were in the right place! They were wonderful at being able to see the vision that you have for your home and find a way to make it happen! Gina and Alyssa met with us many times at every stage of the design process to help form a design that is functional, livable and beautiful. They had so many innovative ideas and samples to help guide us in the right direction. We loved that they made sure we had all materials picked before construction began to minimize the chances of a delay. The design team is amazing at listening to your style and vision and helping to define it and lead you to the look you dreamed of! We had an idea in our minds when we first met them, but as we went along the design journey – they came up with an enhanced version of what we had in our minds. This was led by their creativity and vision. The renderings looked like more than we could ever had imagined and we were so excited to begin! The house turned out even better than we expected. It looks like something out of a magazine. Rod and his team always go out of their way to make sure their customers are satisfied. We had a moment early on in the job where the plumbers crossed the hot and cold waterlines in our master bath while working in the kitchen. It was a Friday night and I texted Rod at 9:30 PM to ask if he had an easy fix. Rod jumped in his truck and was at our house in 15 minutes and he stayed until almost midnight getting it fixed. He didn’t want us to have cold showers over the weekend, so he stayed as long as it took to get working. That is the kind of service and quality of work you get from Northland from start to finish. As many customers have mentioned in previous reviews, Rod has a calm demeanor about him. This was very important while mid renovation the COVID-19 pandemic hit. Rod calmed us down and walked us step by step through the project always communicating along the way. Schedules always change, especially during COVID-19, but Rod seemed to always keep things on track while facing tremendous challenges. They had health and safety plans in place to make sure our family stayed safe during this stressful time. We feel like the entire Northland family became friends of ours during the renovation. In fact, their crew even helped our daughter make a ballet bar to use during her distance dance class on their own time when they saw me trying to put something together for her. This is a perfect example of the type of people the Northland family are – they are friendly, kind, meticulous in their attention to detail and accommodating! We will miss seeing them on a regular basis as we’ve gotten used to them being around. I can’t imagine going through a renovation with any other design & build company. Northland did an amazing job and we highly recommend them to anyone else looking to update their home. Sincerely, Brodie & Amy Jordan

Northland was great on our project! They helped us design beautiful Master + Kids bathrooms, and then executed them really nicely. They were extremely responsive to questions or concerns, and they had a great sense of how to put design into action. If an initial design idea didn't work, they always had good suggestions to achieve the same idea - and it often looked better their way!

I'm not sure I even have the words to describe how happy I am that I chose to work with Gina & Rod of Northland Design and Build. We have recently wrapped up the design phase & have moved on to the build/remodel phase of our home project. I know we don't have the finished product yet but I could not wait to share my experience because Gina and Alyssa are an amazing design team & we have so much confidence in Rod and his build team as we watch demolition and build out that has happened recently, too. As the lead designer, Gina's vision is absolutely stellar. She will take what is new and fresh and give you an updated look without making you feel like you are losing your own individuality. When I was stuck and overwhelmed by all the decision making, she guided me through by asking me just the right questions or giving me the time I needed to think something through. I don't know how she knew what I needed sometimes, but she always knew. Gina also has the uncanny ability to help you understand how things will work out when you are facing all of the unknown nervousness at the beginning of the project. Alyssa is a pleasure to work with and has amazing follow through as she coordinated with Gina and the team after our brainstorming sessions. I will miss getting to work & talk with them so often!!! Gina and Rod have a great behind the scenes team, too. Heidi seems to keep everything on track and everyone heading the right direction. Judy got right back to me during contracting and to help me understand the payment structure, etc. I know I am not mentioning everyone but they are all super responsive, professional, and clearly work well together and respect each other... otherwise it wouldn't have been as seamless as it felt. Rod instills a sense of quiet confidence and is always willing to explain something to us in lay people terms. He has a wealth of experience to help navigate the process including ways we can save money on not so fun things like asbestos remediation but still get the issue addressed in a safe and complete way. His calm and reassuring manner brings a certain sense of reassurance to a part of the project that could be insanely unnerving to most of us.....demolition and building. We know Rod has been a big part of the meetings that the design team has had as they were working through the design phase of our project. I got the impression from builders I met with previously that not all builders get involved with the details of the planning in the design phase. Rod, however, was clearly aware and involved from the begining. We are seeing the confirmation of his involvement as he explains to us what he is working on and how it all changed from our initial drafted plans to our final plans as the design evolved to meet our needs. Rod and Gina care that the projects are well planned out and fully thought through. They are detail oriented and want to understand how they can help you in the planning of your remodel. I think what sticks out the most on that topic is how amazingly generous they are with their time & energy to get it planned out right. They are creative problem solvers and willing to jump in and figure out ways to meet the needs of your project. Lastly, I have to express how gracious, generous, & unpretentious Gina, Rod, & Alyssa have all been. We have been working on a budget with one of our explicit goals being the promotion of one of our family members being able to age in place. I had the big design/build company in Portland come in for a consult and they essentially laughed at me instead of explaining what they could do for me on my budget. I had other builders come in and tell me they could do it on my budget but I needed to also find a designer who was willing to do plans and work with them (with additional costs). Gina worked TIRELESSLY to help us define & outline our needs, focus on what we could do on our budget to make our place function as our family needed it to and allowed ME to decide if I could increase my budget or not to meet our goals. She explored our desired options & alternate options helping us focus on goals but also making sure we stayed with high quality options so our project will be beautiful but also stand the test of time. She was willing to have both the exciting/fun conversations AND the difficult discussions....all while making sure we didn't feel like second class clients just because we had a budget. They really love what they do and who they are doing it for and it shows. Gina and Rod take an approach to re-modelling that I have not previously been blessed enough to experience. After working with them for several months it is so clear that when they do a remodel, they want to make sure you not only have a great experience, but that you know you are being listened to and your remodeling needs taken care of during this potentially overwhelming process.

We choose wisely! Northland Design and Construction did a beautiful job. We're delighted and would use them again. We would happily recommend them to friends and family!

Very professional, informative, and responsive. The Northland team works within your budget to deliver a well finished project on time. Really please with the final results and function of our new kitchen.

Gina, Rod and team were great! I am so happy with my new kitchen. The work was completed timely and within budget. The quality workmanship exceeded expectations. The team was responsive to any and all questions that I had during the project. I also truly appreciated the level of clean up that was done after demo and during construction. I would recommend Northland Design to anyone looking to remodel a kitchen.

Northland's finished product of our recent kitchen remodel checks all of the boxes that we listed as priorities when envisioning the updated hub of our home. Gina and Rod exceeded our expectations during the bid process reviewing structural limitations of the project and possible layout and design options. Gina's enthusiasm during the design process was great and she (as well as Heidi) were flexible in scheduling design meetings that worked with our limited schedule. When the remodel hit a structural roadblock, Rod worked tirelessly with the engineer to figure out a solution within budget that also allowed for the remodel to proceed as designed. Our 10 week project did end up taking about 6 months starting with a lengthy structural permit delay that then caused delays afterward due to rescheduling subcontractors during the busy summer months. Communication of the updated project schedule was at times lacking and made it hard to coordinate access to the house. Aside from the cabinet shop, the subcontractors were timely and had excellent work. We ran into multiple issues with the cabinet shop that were frustrating but Rod and his team did make sure that these issues were resolved in the end. Brian's finish work and attention to detail were top notch.

We are just at the end of our big project. We bought a 1972 ranch style home in the country that had never been updated. That's right, avocado green and burnt orange throughout. It had good bones on a beautiful piece of property but needed lots of TLC. Gina and Rod were just the right team for the job. Teresa loved working with Gina to develop the design. Gina's vision total transformed the kitchen, living area and master suite. Rod's experience brought the design to reality and is being finished to perfection. His expert advice was great in making decision on implementation. Rod's team is courteous and skilled to finish the job with excellence. They're fun too. We will miss hanging out with them. Our move in date has been moved out a few times but I think that is to be expected in today's construction environment. We simply couldn't imagine a better experience, it's going to be our dream home and can't wait to move in! Thanks Gina and Rod!

We love our new kitchen. It is quite beautiful and functional. We liked all the folks at Northland Design & Build.

My wife and I had decided to undertake an extensive remodel of our one-level home and after much deliberation, solicited three bids for the project. Our first two bids came from firms that were referred to us by friends. My wife insisted we investigate one more firm. Thank goodness we did! Having no other referrals, we turned to Houzz to see if we could find someone we might like. She found Northland Design and Build and was impressed with their renovation experience, esthetics, as well as their Houzz ratings. Gina returned my call within twenty minutes. She and Rod came to our home the following day and we instantly like them both. Gina is very creative and Rod gets it done. They make a fantastic team. After walking through our scope of work, we mentioned vaulting the ceiling. Rod went up and into the attic and discovered that we had vault trusses and that it would be easy to vault the ceiling! Also, Northland’s bid was very competitive with the other two bids we received. The remodel itself went smoothly. We were very happy with the creative collaboration with Gina and equally impressed with Rod’s attention to detail. With our busy professional and personal lives, Gina planned creative review sessions that worked for our schedules while Rod’s team kept the execution impact minimal to our home while we lived in it through the renovation – alerts on when contractors would be on-site, the work flow and cleaning up after a day’s work so we could remain living on premises (except for new hardwood flooring install). Northland was very communicative throughout the process and kept the project on-track. They are responsive, professional and addressed our needs in a timely manner throughout the renovation process. The sub-contractors they used were all very good, especially the tile work. The tile work is exquisite. We now have an absolutely gorgeous kitchen, back patio and bathroom. I would highly recommend Northland Design and suggest including them in your bid process. We couldn’t be more happy. We receive glowing compliments from all of our friends and family on the beautiful design and quality craftsmanship!

I had my kitchen and two bathrooms remodeled by Northland Design and Build and could not be happier with the final outcome! Everyone who has seen the remodel has commented that it looks straight out of a Home Decor magazine! I was very new to the process of remodeling and the team at Northland answered all of my questions even when I was freaking out at later times in the evening! I really appreciate the patience and resourcefulness of everyone on the team!!! The workmanship and attention to detail was excellent and having an interior designer walk me through options and offer suggestions really made all the difference at pulling together a cohesive design that will age gracefully for many years to come!

We bought a *major* fixer-upper home in Sandy, and we knew it would need incredible professionals to pull off the vision we had. Rod & Gina (and their entire team) were amazing to work with, from start to finish. They were professional, efficient, patient, inspiring, and so fun to spend time with. We are SO thankful!!

We are thrilled that we hired Gina and Rod at Northland Build and Design. They remodeled our kitchen, added gorgeous dark hardwood floors to our living and dining areas, spruced up a guest room and brought our old 1980s staircase into the present day. These guys are smart, creative, fun and full of innovative ideas. Gina saved us money wherever she could throughout the project. Rod made sure the workmanship lived up to his expectations. Any possible issue that came up they took care of immediately! They were a joy to work with and we highly recommend them to all!

I have been extremely pleased with the whole experience working with Northland Design and Build on the major remodel of my kitchen, master bath, and stairway. In addition, they replaced and/or refinished all the floors and painted all walls and ceilings. The results are an essentially new home, with some stunning new features and an overall updated look and feel. Gina worked tirelessly to insure the design ended up as I wanted. She exhibited great patience and offered great incite where and when I needed it. Rod and the rest of the Northland crew are meticulous, yet practical, craftsmen, and appeared to work well together. They diligently addressed issues I might not have even noticed and were always responsive to correct the ones I did. They were always cooperative and considerate, going out of their way to insure my safety and comfort, as I was living in the home through demo, construction, and finishing. The results of the project speak for themselves, in my opinion. Excellent in every regard. And although the process was disruptive, Northland’s efforts to minimize the inconvenience were exemplary. I would highly recommend them.

I can't say enough good things about Northland Design & Build. We hired them to do a total kitchen remodel this past August. Gina, Rod and the whole team were great to work with. They made the whole process run smoothly and it all turned out beautiful. Gina was a great help with the design selections and made it fun too! It is apparent that they want to do top quality work and want you to be happy with the outcome. I would definitely consider them for any future projects on our home.

We enjoyed working with the Northland team to remodel our 70's kitchen. From our first meeting with Rod and Gina, we were confident they would do excellent work. Gina and Alysha did a great job listening to our wishlist, likes, and dislikes during the design phase. The narrow room caused several design challenges, and they incorporated creative solutions which really improved the work flow and storage space. Rod is an excellent project manager, and keeps on top of the build process. He and crew do very high quality work, and their attention to detail is top-notch. There were a few hiccups during the project, but they took care of the issues and ensured we were happy with the results. In the end, everything looks fabulous and we're extremely happy with our new kitchen! What a transformation! We highly recommend the Northland team.

We bought a modern farmhouse in early 2002. Because we are part of a big family we wanted the kitchen to be the main focus of our home. We have spent many hours around our farm table with our family and friends loving every moment. However, over time we realized our kitchen circa 1996 was incredibly outdated. The white pine cupboards and blue Corian countertops served us well for over 15 years but they were battle worn and we needed a change. We also were faced with a storage challenge. Because our kitchen was oddly shaped with a peninsula island it made cooking with more than one person tough. We researched many different contractors before we selected Northland Design & Build to remodel our kitchen and dining area. Rod and Gina Loewer and their design team stepped up to the job. They listened to our needs and wants as well as thought outside the box presenting us with ideas we never thought about. They presented a realistic budget that didn’t scare the hell out of us - and made those things we thought impossible -possible. Because our remodel was big we knew it was going to be on the expensive side. We viewed this remodel as an investment in our home. Rod and Gina worked hard at saving us money, were transparent throughout the entire process, stayed on schedule as best as they could, looked out for our safety, were extremely communicative, and were seriously a dream to work with. The end result - One amazing, sexy, modern, beautiful kitchen with all brand new appliances- a fantastic dining area, fantastic storage solutions, new stone work, new cabinets, tile, flooring and paint as well as other custom touches that were important to us. Every morning I pinch myself and say “Wow! This is really my kitchen!” If you really want your vision to jump off the page and come to life Northland Design & Build is the answer.

Gina and Rod along with their talented team do an amazing job! They are very creative, efficient and easy to work with. Gina's communication skills are above and beyond and you find yourself feeling like old friends within a matter of minutes.

Northland designed and remodeled my down stairs bathroom this summer. It is absolutely beautiful and exactly what I envisioned. They were totally hands on helping me decide on tile, lighting, countertops and appliances. They were helpful in everyway - they came in on time and on budget!! It was a small space so were able to open up the room and give it the contemporary feel I was looking for. I would definitely recommend them!

We enjoyed working with Rod, Gina and their crew to remodel our master bath and guest bath. There were times during the project where better communication would have helped with some of the typical stress of a remodel. The quality of the subs and the work crew was top notch. Each sub wanted to make sure the customer was happy. Gina and Esperanza were fun and easy to work with in the design stage. They were a big help since we have little design knowledge. They listen to your likes and dislikes and help you find the perfect products for your job. In the end, everything looks great and all our questions were addressed to our satisfaction. We can't be more happy with the results of our remodel. We will have them bid other jobs at our house in the future.

I have a hard time providing any constructive feedback on Northland. The company remodeled our kitchen and back entry and updated main level wood floors, staircases and a fireplace. They were on budget, on time and a pleasure to work...which I hear from friends is rarely the case. And most importantly, the final result is awesome! Rod and Gina (& Esperanza) are a phenomenal team. Gina is creative, collaborative, and clearly committed to creating a final product that we would love. Some people might be deterred by the extra expense of hiring a designer, but for two working parents, she was a huge gift and worth every penny. She did the leg work of identifying possibilities and then working with me to refine selections. She has a great eye for detail and knows what she likes but was flexible to consider our preferences and style. Rod was just a steady force. He instills confidence- personable, accessible, professional and kept everything moving along smoothly. His subs are high quality people who were thoughtful and responsive. As we think about starting a phase 2 remodel, we cannot imagine going through it with anyone else.. and in fact, I am actually looking forward to it.

From start to finish, working with Rod, Gina, and the team was an absolute delight. We "clicked" almost immediately, and I couldn't wait to get our project started. Gina and Esperanza worked tirelessly on the design, and Rod and the boys executed it perfectly. It truly is a family affair working with the Loewers - their sons are part of the company and are delightful hard-working gentlemen. My house is better than I could have ever dreamed of - Gina had amazing space and design ideas that I would have never come up with. And she listened to what I wanted and didn't want and incorporated it into the design perfectly. I could not be happier with the finished product - from Rod and Gina, to the workers and subcontractors, everyone was a pleasure to work with. I highly highly recommend them!

Working with the Northland team was a pleasure through every phase of our master bath and laundry room remodel. Their attention to the construction and design details was exceptional in every way. We highly recommend their entire team.

The entire team at Northland Design & Build were professional, experienced, and supportive as we set the vision for our dream kitchen. They provided suggestions, alternatives and encouragement to design something better than we ever imagined. They're work and that of their sub-contractors was nothing short of stellar. Rod and Gina both ensured quality work from all who worked on the project. Gina encouraged us to step outside of our comfort on some design elements and the results are a classic yet elegant kitchen that won't ever be outdated. They set all the right expectations with regard to budget and were honest and clear when we found ourselves headed to decision that might test the bottom line. They were referred to us by happy clients and we would definitely recommend they be considered for any project big or small.

Rod and Gina did a complete remodel for us adding a second floor to our 900 square foot home. They were amazing to work with, trustworthy and respectful of our budget. Rod was extremely organized, kept our project on a timely schedule and budget. We had full confidence that Rod would be sure our home was structurally sound. Gina provided much needed design assist based on our design goals, making choices on fixtures and colors very easy. We missed working with them when our home was complete and would absolutely hire them again. We recommend them to anyone who asks!

As we considered a large-scale kitchen remodel in our urban contemporary home, we decided to hire Gina for design. Gina’s years of expertise, and ability to interpret our needs and collaborate with us resulted in a truly unique kitchen. From the granite countertop as the statement piece to the geometric backsplash in the bar, this new space feels like ours. Gina created multiple designs and hashed out numerous details with us to make sure everything was exactly what we wanted. She was upbeat, professional, and always easy to work with. We could not be happier in our new kitchen and bar.

My husband and I were looking for a high-quality contractor to repair our kitchen. We were referred to Northland Design Build by a manufacturer’s rep who works with local contractors daily. The conversation about their reference went something like this, “…Hi, we are looking for a reference for a contractor(s) to work on our kitchen and master bath. We would like to know who you consider the best contractor(s) for custom built homes. The ideal contractor(s) is someone who takes pride in their work, someone who has integrity is super important to us. We also want to work with someone who understands design, uses high-quality finishes and provides timely and responsive customer service. Do you know of any contractors that fit our criteria? ...Yes, I do! And, she is here in my store right now…” Within the hour, I heard back from Gina Loewer of Northland Design Build. We met for an appointment and shortly thereafter Gina sent us a comprehensive, thoughtful bid for our kitchen and master bath. Gina was professional, personable and knowledgeable about all aspects of our project. The plans for our repairs are still evolving, but even though they are super busy several clients, Gina and Rod are available to answer our questions and address our needs as we prepare for the work. As much as we are impressed with their portfolio of work, which speaks for itself, Gina and Rod provide outstanding, knowledgeable and responsive customer service. We are true fans who consider Northland Design Build a winning team whose work will make our home beautiful and perfect for our family!

From the very beginning to the end, every facet was professional and fabulous. From the initial consultation and recommendations to the completion, Northland was a five star operation. Eventually we just went to work and they made all the right decisions. We love our remodel and every day we feel like we live in a showroom!

Rod and Gina of Northland Design and Build did an addition and house remodel for us. They envisioned and brought to life more than we EVER could have imagined!! We went from a very small dining area, galley kitchen and family room to a big beautiful kitchen and vaulted family gathering space. They also did hardwoods through out, updated the woodwork and added air conditioning. They do the highest quality of work! They are on top of schedules and are encouraging and patient with all the many decisions. They always steer toward a fabulous end product. They are a delight to work with! THANK YOU Rod, Gina and the Northland family you are the best!

I have worked with Gina and Rod for over 10 years. They are the experts in their field! Gina is very personable and has an great eye for design! Rod is very professional and makes sure everything is done on schedule. As an appliance professional for over 25 years, I would highly recommend Northland for your start to finish solution!

I contacted Gina and Rod at Northland based on other reviews and information I had found and Gina promptly responded with an email and phone call to set up an in person meeting. They came out and spent a long time with us going over what we wanted and then got back to us shortly thereafter with an estimate and design. After a substantial delay on my part and rethinking things, Gina and Rod then came back out to discuss possible changes and ways to cut some cost from the project and spent over an hour again discussing things with me and my wife. While the project is currently on hold, again due to my constraints, the amount of time they spent with me and how personable and willing to go out of their way for us made it clear that Gina and Rod with Northland Design & Build would be a great team to work with and who we will use when we do follow through on this remodel.

I met with Gina for design and decor tips for our house. She gave me lots of great ideas that were relatively easy to implement. She developed a Pinterest page with pictures of products and designs for an inspiration for our home.. Gina is professional, creative and knowledgeable in design and decor. I highly recommend Gina and Northland!

After stalling around for years on remodeling our poorly designed, ugly 80's master bath, we finally pulled the trigger after seeing work Ron and Gina had done on a friend's kitchen. Beautiful design work, great craftsmanship and a joy to work with. I'm looking forward to the next two bathrooms next year. Thanks for a beautiful, livable space.

This kitchen remodel was a very positive experience. Gina and Esperanza were so very helpful in the design process. It was seamless. They listened to everything we wanted. Rod and his crew were amazing in getting it finished before our hoped-for deadline. Each of the craftsmen were on time, professional, and a pleasure to have around. The workmanship was excellent. We couldn't be more pleased!

Northland Design and build have both solid Design expertise and solid Project Management. We had a tight time frame and Gina and Rod outlined a plan that fit what we needed and went up and above to make sure the project was successful. We love our new kitchen and highly recommend them.

We hired Northland Design and Build to remodel our bathrooms and do a partial remodel of our kitchen. We had hired Northland in the past and were once again thrilled with the results! Absolutely beaufully done bathrooms and all the guys were so professional and a pleasure to have at the house. Brian did the finishing work and his attention to detail was awesome! Thank you Northland!!!

We did a complete remodel of our master bath and powder room. We are very pleased with the result of this project. Rod and Gina Loewer, their staff and all their subs went above and beyond to help make this a very successful outcome. They were very professional; attention to detail and communication were great. The quality of the workmanship is just what we were looking for. All workmen did a great job cleaning up everyday which lessened the impact on us during the project. It was a very collaborative design process and it was appreciated they carefully listened and worked with our ideas. Rod worked hard to schedule the work to minimize down days during the construction phase. We highly recommend this company and their team for any design/build project.

I wanted to formally write and thank you both SO much for all the hard work you put into our home. All the attention to detail really paid off and we couldn't be happier with the results. I smile every time I walk upstairs. Thank you, thank you!!!

Look no further, because this is the company that you want for that house project. Not only do you get great craftsmanship, but a designer to go with it! Taking on a remodel seemed overwhelming before we starting working with Northland. They planned and took care of everything down to details that I had not even thought of. We could not be happier with our new kitchen!!

It's been about 6 months since Northland completely remodeled our master bathroom and I couldn't be happier with the results. Rod & Gina were awesome to work with. It was amazing seeing the bathroom completely re-envisioned. With a very long wish list, Gina was able to create a modern design while giving me all the practical elements I have been needing in a bathroom, even incorporating a custom hairdryer drawer into my vanity. Whether Rod is at the jobsite or not, he is always on top of it and knows what is going on. We had some of the best subs including the meticulous tile company that put down our beautiful tile wood-grain heated floors, our beautiful 3-headed shower walls with accent wall and tile-surround mirrors. As trying as it is to live through construction, and in your own bathroom, everyone at Northland was respectful and focused on getting the job done. I found Northland through Houzz and lucked out when I called Gina and she was able to meet with me. Her design style is collaborative and fun. I got to the point where I let her pick out the chandelier, the drawer pulls, the paint, etc. and it was all spot on perfect. She also halted the order of the glass shower walls, and as it turned out they would not have been right without a second look and an adjustment to the order. It was worth a 2 week delay because I have to look at them every day and they are perfect. I feel really lucky I found Northland, they turned my bathroom into a spa!

I have worked with Gina and Rod on numerous projects in multiple showrooms over the years. We love to have local designers that use local suppliers in our display kitchens which is why we turned to Northland Design. Their attention to details takes so much of the stress off your shoulders. They are simply amazing to work with. Over the years we have referred clients to Gina and Rod and have had nothing but positive feedback. I would highly recommend Northland Design and Build to anyone looking to remodel.

I have been associated with Northland Design & Build for over twenty years, having supplied quality materials for their projects. I have witnessed their ability to work with a variety of clients as a very professional team, wether it is a remodeling project or for new home construction. Their years in the business have definately shown in their ability to create a one of kind creation. Their commitment to the client is outstanding from a drawing to a final reality. From foundation to roof the process is precise, clear and on time. As a supplier of materials to Northland Design & Build I am proud to be a part of their buildng team.

As the engineer for Northland Design & Build, I normally only get to see the "before". Well, I recently looked at some of their "after" photos on their website and my jaw dropped! It's amazing how Rod and Gina can take an average living space and turn it into WOW! Gina sends out a periodic newsletter, which drew me to their website recently, and I couldn't believe how amazing they had transformed some of the places into that I had gone to site visits on that seemed very ordinary. Gina has an amazing ability to turn the ordinary into the extraordinary to go along with a personality that draws people in. Rod is very knowledgeable, professional, thorough, and very conscientious of his clients' wants and needs during the construction process. I mainly work with Rod and enjoy doing so because he pays such close attention to detail. When he runs into a structural question on a job, he will not guess in the interest of saving an hour or two - instead, he will call me to go over the question and make sure it's done correctly, avoiding potential costly issues during city inspection or construction defects later on. It's pretty common for people to struggle through their days for the sole purpose of paying the bills, but it's obvious that Rod and Gina are passionate about what they do and enjoy spending every day helping people turn their house into a dream home. It's so much fun to work with people who love what they're doing!

Gina and her crew at Northland design and Build are simply the best! She is so easy and fun to work with, she listened to what we were looking for and went from there. The boys are professional and very hard-working and always were careful to clean up after they were done. I have more space and little extras that I never thought I would get, drawers that pull out and under-cabinet that I love. The backsplash behind the stove and the granite slab are beautiful! If you're remodeling or redesigning anything in your home I would definitely have Northland Design and Build for an overall great experience!!

Northland Design and Build did a fantastic job from beginning to end. No detail was left undone. I would definitely use them for any future remodel. I felt that my home was respected and cared for during the entire process. They are professional is all aspects and made the project very enjoyable.

Rod and Gina are the best! I am a real estate agent and have recommended them to several of my clients, and will continue to do so. Everyone I have recommended them to has come back with rave reviews. I have been with clients as they worked from the "before" to the "after" and am constantly amazed at the design, quality and professionalism of Northland. Working with Northland you have both a designer (Gina) and general contractor (Rod) together in one package. Top quality, communication, and design, it doesn't get any better.

Rod and Gina did a remodel on my house before I moved in and did a wonderful job. When I decided to add a master suite on they came up with a wonderful design that I loved. I now have a beautiful dressing room, huge bathroom with a walk in shower, gorgeous white barn doors that open to my large bedroom area and a sunny sitting room that opens onto my back yard. Rod kept me updated on the construction and Gina went so far as to help me pick out furniture and bedding. Can't say enough about how much they care and help with decisions on design and decorating. I love my new nest and my two pups Grace and Maggie agree!

We had a living area/kitchen remodel that involved significant demolition and custom work. Gina and Rod were helpful from the very start of our project in working with us on our ideas and possible design options. They kept us up to date with regard to design, budget, materials, schedule and details. They provided several subcontractors that also completed work on schedule and budget. Once the project was complete Gina and Rod were sure to check in and see if we had questions or concerns. Overall a very positive experience.

As managers of a newly blossoming vineyard in Willamette Valley, my husband and I were (needless to say) very busy with getting equipment ready for harvest, contacting potential grape buyers and keeping up the multiple houses, outbuildings + 10 acres of ornamentally landscaped areas. The last thing we wanted to add to our plate was troubleshooting, decorating and planning home renovations for the houses + garage. This is where Northland Design & Build stepped in and saved us time, energy (and our sanity!). Prior to Northland Design & Build, the garage was pretty basic and uninspiring -- a one-car garage attached to a 600 square foot low-ceiling storage room. When it came time to choose a company to remodel this structure, we were looking for someone that had the know-how to work with the existing structure + foundation as well as help us reach a potential look-and-feel that set us apart in the wine industry. Northland Design & Build did extensive and beautiful work on the garage/storage house--inside and out--they took the roof off, vaulted the ceilings, enlarged and tiled the bathroom, replaced floors and added a kitchenette, bedroom and living area. It was amazing how they turned such a small space into a light + airy retreat house, fit enough for a my husband and I (as vineyard property managers) to take intermittent stays there as well as entertain potential grape buyers. We opted for the full-decor package and were so glad we did. Gina's decorating touches from the art on the walls down to the selection of the towels in the bathroom set the tone and created a Wow-factor. We received (and are still receiving!) rave reviews from clients who enjoy the space. Northland Design & Build went on to make the property more accessible by creating a wraparound driveway that allowed easy access to the vineyard and houses for various vineyard contractors + guests. While they did work on the homes they were always cognizant and respectful of the work that was being done in the vineyard or entertaining that was taking place in the houses. Throughout the renovation, the site was always kept clean. Communication was great as Rod and his crew thoughtfully answered any questions / changes that arose in a timely manner. We were more than happy with our decision to work with the team at Northland Design & Build. I would highly recommend their team to any business or home-owner that is looking for a full-service, turn-key remodel.

We had been meaning to remodel our kitchen for years, but kids and jobs and inertia got in the way. We had an idea what we wanted, but no clue how to make it come to life. How lucky we were to find Rod and Gina and the whole Northland Team! From the first day we met, Rod and Gina treated us as if we were part of their family, and we now feel like they are part of ours. In fact, we are a few weeks out from project completion, and we really miss them. I can't even tell you how amazing it was for us to have a design and construction team all in one. Gina and Michaela took our vision, sharpened it with their own practiced eyes, thought of every detail, made sure we loved it, and handed it off seamlessly to Rod and crew. Rod is organized, efficient, and so skilled. The whole team was courteous, trustworthy, and responsive to our ideas and requests (special thanks to Keegan and Mike!). The project was done on time, and on budget, complete with a stunning hand-made island top which exceeded our wildest dreams. The end result is beyond what we ever imagined. No one can believe we didn't expand, the kitchen looks so much bigger. Every space is functional and beautiful. Our son is thrilled with his new bathroom, and we LOVE eating dinner together in our new dining room space. We've already recommended the Northland Team to dozens of neighbors and friends, and we can't wait to have them come back to remodel our master bath. Thank you, Gina, Rod, Michaela, Ali, Keegan, and Mike, and everyone else on the team, for the incredible gifts you have given us. We feel like we live in a brand new home!

I have worked with Northland Design & Build for several years now. The level of design is above & beyond and their clients love working with them. They are true professionals in every sense of the word. I would highly recommend them to anyone in need of design and construction with certainty that the job would be done right, from start to finish with great design and care for the client. Nothing but the best from Northland Design & Build!!

Gina and the entire design team at Northland has been a pleasure to work with on every project I am involved with. Their attention to detail and making sure they and their clients are happy and satisfied with all the choices that are available are amongst the very best. Everyone associated with Northland Design & Build is very knowledgeable and open to different ideas and change mid plan as well. Not many Design build teams are as focused on putting their clients needs and budgets first and spend as much time as needed on every project as Northland is.

I have been working with Gina and Rod and the rest of the Northland team for a couple of years now and I just love them! I get to photograph all of their finished projects so I've had the rare opportunity to see many of their projects up close and personal and I can say they do impeccable work! Not only are they great builders but they have an amazing eye for design and style. They run a true family business and are a just a joy to be around! If you're looking for a quality job and great people to work with choose Northland for your next project! You won't be disappointed.

We hired Northland Design and Build to design and remodel our two bathrooms and install hardwood floors. We had never worked with a designer before, and it significantly reduced the stress and second guessing that always comes with change. Meeting with Gina and Ali at showrooms and suppliers was the highlight of our week. They definitely enjoy their jobs, and made the whole process "fun." They gave many suggestions, but also listened to our ideas and desires to coordinate the new spaces with the existing. We really appreciated working with the actual installation crew of Rod, Keegan, and Mike, along with all the subcontractors. All seemed to enjoy their work, and it shows in the end product. The word "professionalism" can be applied to everyone who came into our home to help us realize the vision we had for our new spaces. Work was completed on time and on budget. To summarize we can highly recommend Northland Build as an excellent team to capture all the various design and finish elements to provide a beautiful finished product.

Northland Design and Build has completed several successful projects for us, including remodels of our powder room, kitchen and family rooms. Gina and Ali, the designers, worked closely with us to develop the overall direction and design plans. They have a huge store of knowledge and experience, and they also did a lot of research during the process that produced excellent examples to help us figure out what we wanted. As creative directions were surfaced, Rod, the contractor at Northland, was brought in to review the best way to build and implement the designs. Rod is a pleasure to work with and he is unflappable! He manages the sub-contractors very efficiently so that there are not gaps in the schedule and that people show up on time. (His own guys at Northland do a lot of the work too). The resulting workmanship is excellent and the projects completed on schedule. Any issues that surfaced were dealt with promptly and completely. The whole team at Northland Design and Build is fantastic and we highly recommend their work!

Sherwood Complete Kitchen Remodel - Spring 2015 This project went well from start to finish. From the start Northland saw our vision and worked to make it happen. They presented an understandable plan and estimate. There was minor confusion regrading what was included and not on a couple of items but they were quick to get these resolved. They provided new CAD drawings as we tweaked the design several times. They made great recommendations for some things we did not think of. Northland accompanied us to select materials and appliances and helped in negotiating prices. Also they worked very hard to make a couple of alterations which were logistical problems. For example, making the vent hood work with our unusual roof line and still keeping it centered properly over the cook top. The subs were craftsmen, quality work, and easy to deal with. The project was finished on schedule and on budget and they cleaned the job site completely. Northland was great to work with. We are very happy with the results and would recommend them highly.

Gina & Rod did a full kitchen and master bath remodel for us. The master bath was an add on that we weren't expecting until we opened up the ceiling in the kitchen and realized we needed to do something about the structural engineering upstairs! Even with the unexpected additional project, they still completed everything on time and were very cognizant to stay within budget.! Both Rod and Gina, as well as their entire team (both at Northland and subcontractors) were truly enjoyable to work with. They were very responsive, got what we were looking for and came up with unique solutions to some of the challenges within our space. I would absolutely hire Northland Design again and highly recommend them.

Help in my kitchen and bathrooms design was a breeze. I have been extremely satisfied with the results and constantly get compliments. Northland was always on time and very accommodating to my schedule. I couldn't have asked for a better experience!

Gina, Rod and Allie were great to work with during the remodel of our kitchen, family room and powder room. After seeing the kitchen vignettes at Standard TV & Appliance, I knew Northland Design and Build were right the job. Rod kept the project ahead of schedule and settled for nothing short of perfection from his sub-contractors. From the beginning, Gina listened to all of my ideas, then designed the kitchen of my dreams. We still walk into our kitchen everyday and can't believe the transformation. Thanks Gina, Rod and Allie - You're the best!!

We loved working with Northland Design and Build. They redesigned two bathrooms and added a closet in our bedroom, making the rooms much more usable. Gina's advice and ideas were brilliant. She picked out tiles and stone that created just the look I was hoping for. And she even found a way for us to have heated floors in both bathrooms while keeping it within my budget. She chose the paint for the whole house, and I often get compliments from guests about how beautiful the colors are. I've recommended her to several friends. Gina was there for the whole remodeling process, checking to make sure everything was going as planned. She even had the painter repaint the whole fireplace wall when she saw that the color was not quite what she wanted! Her whole team was so helpful and everything was done on time. It was a pleasure to work with her.

Northland provides thorough support from the start to the end of the project. They are a team of professionals that you get to know as extended family. Their attention to detail in the planning phase will reveal itself during the construction. The construction phase is very well handled by contractors that know the team and understand the details that Northland demands for their customers. The Northland Design & Build team is a team to tackle any job and the results will be outstanding.

Our experience with Northland was wonderful in every way. Gina is great and very fun to work with. She respected my ideas and gave me so many more of her own. Between the two of us we came out with a beautiful new kitchen and bathroom. Rod is amazing as well. All the work he and his team did was beautiful and of the highest quality workmanship. They were on time and on budget. I have recommended them to many people and will continue to do so.

We purchased a home built in the 80's that needed extensive remodeling. Our real estate agent recommended Rod and Gina at Northland Design & Build. They gave us a ballpark estimate of the work we wanted done which helped us make a competitive offer on the home. This was a 12 week project. They gutted and remodeled the kitchen, two bathrooms, created a new laundry room , converted a room into a 4th bedroom. We spent a lot of time with Gina designing the home. Once the work started, Gina was very involved making minor adjustments along the way as the project unfolded. They stayed on budget, on time and there were no surprises. I can honestly recommend Northland Design and build with no reservations. Great to work with.

Gina and Rod Loewer, owners of Northland Design and Build, are fabulous to work with. My husband and I worked with them on a complete redesign/relocation of our kitchen and family room. The experience went very well, from start to finish. What is unique about Northland that they have both design and build experience in one place. Gina works on the design and décor elements, while Rod focuses on the contracting/construction elements. The combination was great as it eliminated the need for a 3rd party designer/architect and cut down on costs and hassle. Gina has a great eye for design. She focused on the wow factor we were looking for in our kitchen and worked with us to make sure we were happy with the materials. We are often complimented on the amazing details and we love the outcome. It was truly a one-of-a-kind design that you don't see everywhere--we appreciate that. Rod is the guy on the ground making sure the work gets done on time and with quality. He answered all of our 10,000 questions and was a stickler for the schedule. He kept us informed of all the issues that are normal aspects of a remodel as extensive as ours. During our project, we encountered a snag with one of the aspects of the design, and Rod and Gina worked with us to ensure things were corrected and to understand the delay. They really wanted to ensure we were happy with the end result. Even more impressive was that the schedule was kept within the projected timeline! We have since recommended Northland to several families. I will recommend them in the future as well!

The gang at Northland did an AMAZING job, start to finish! Our kitchen was done on time and on budget. From helping me choose materials and appliances, to expert craftsmanship and installation, we were absolutely thrilled with the entire process. I can't wait to have them do more work for us. Honest, reliable, and a beautiful finish, I can't recommend them highly enough!

Rod and Gina are incredible! They brought everything to the table that I could have hoped for in a design build team. They helped create a vision, design and remodeling plan for a house that I was buying. Ultimately the purchase fell through, so the remodel did not end up happening, but that being said, throughout the process of design and bidding I felt like I was in such good hands. Their experience is unprecedented and creativity is endless. They were able to come up with an incredible plan that fit within my budget. Words I would used to describe Northland would be fun, creative, experienced, FUN, reliable and trustworthy. My only hope is that I can work with them again in the future!

Northland construction was excellent in every area- details of the re-model, returning calls, listening to our desires, coming up with a great design, and hiring great subs! I completely trust and recommend them!!

Northalnd Design and Build made our home remodel a great experience. Gina, the designer, quickly grasped our vision and directed our search, making it fun and productive. She showed excellent ability to take our vision and turn it into something even better. She was very receptive to our ideas and "monkey wrenches." We had just the right amount of control over decisions to not be overwhelmed and to have an end result that was truly ours. Rod, the contractor, took everything we threw at him and made it work. They finished on time, to the day. There were no surprises along the way. Any issues that we identified were dealt with promptly and to our satisfaction. The workmanship is top notch. The subs were professional and did an excellent quality of work. Our herringbone back splash is the "star" that everyone compliments. The whole team at Northland Design and Build is fantastic and we could not have asked for a better, more trustworthy group to remodel our home.
