    Clairmont∙Design∙Remodeling
    Design-Build Contractors & Firms in Downers Grove
    Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsAugust 7, 2014
    “Pat Franz and his entire Clairmont, Ltd. team were exceptional. My husband and I are thrilled with the design but, most importantly, the entire remodeling process was smooth... thanks to Pat. He patiently worked with us to perfect a design that was both within our budget and met our desires. Even though a third-party designer made a critical measurement error, Pat was able to quickly think of an ingenious idea and executed on the new design immediately. We couldn't have been happier with the professional, clean, and efficient crew also. We would eagerly recommend Clairmont, Ltd. for any and all projects.”
    123 Remodeling Inc.
    Design-Build Contractors & Firms in Downers Grove
    Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsSeptember 11, 2013
    “If you are looking for great customer service (exceeding expectations in my experience), and high quality work being done on your place within or before a projected deadline, 123 remodeling is the company to go with and here are a few examples of why. After moving forward with 123, a project manager Ariel picked me up and helped me shop for both of my bathroom remodels, providing helpful advice based on his experience but still totally respecting my personal style. We found everything I needed within a couple hours and he was also able to get my an amazing discount on everything purchased. He then picked me up a second time to help me find tiles for my bathroom backsplash which was still unfinished from my previous nightmare remodeling experience even though 123 wasn't even contracted to work on my kitchen so this was extremely nice of him and definitely not in the contract. Aside from the project management, the actual worker bee was amazing. He showed up every single day out of about 30 work days except one 1 (because of car trouble) and worked straight from 8 to 4 (the hours my building allows you to work) barely breaking for lunch. When he did break though, he hung out with our Dog and was always very nice and loving to him which we appreciated :). His work was impeccable. There were a few things we added on at the end or asked to be changed that 123 did without adding any costs or giving us any grief. Yes, the project cost was expensive BUT I got quotes from 2 other companies that came in right at the same price or higher so 123 is definitely comparable to any other remodeling company that provides professional, high quality service and work. If your priority is having a positive, stress free remodeling experience, where you need some advice and help picking out material, go with 123. You will not regret it. I spent 9 months in a horrible kitchen remodeling nightmare because I tried to go with someone who could not be held accountable for failing to deliver on what we had discussed and I ended up spending twice as much in the end and having to wait 9 months for my kitchen to be finished. If I could go back, I would hire 123 again without a second thought. Could not recommend them more. Enjoy!”

    “We are in the process of doing an addition with a new kitchen and dining area. The design is beautiful and all of the employees have been wonderful to work with. Our only complaint is that the project is moving slower than we were told to expect and days have gone by with no progress. We are anxious to finish! Pictures available upon request!”

    Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsFebruary 29, 2016
    “I highly recommend Innovative Design Concepts for any organization or individual seeking outstanding architectural/design services. Our organization worked with Chris over a three year period to design a major renovation to our structure which was over 60 years old and was severely outdated. Chris worked with us to prepare a new site plan, exterior elevations, and floor plan, including a 2D color rendering of the project. Throughout our engagement with Chris, we found him to be extremely knowledgeable and resourceful in addressing our concerns and some of the constraints of our project (space, cost). He came to us with creative solutions and ultimately the final product was visually stunning and exactly what we needed from a functional perspective. We also found Chris and his colleagues to be extremely responsive to our questions and needs, and very open to our feedback. IDCI's professionalism and outstanding customer service really made the design process smooth and enjoyable. I would not hesitate to hire IDCI again. Thank you Chris!”

    “The team at A. Perry Homes designed and built our home from what was a tear down cottage to what is now a luxury lake home. They listened to what was important to us and they worked with our budget. The team at A. Perry Homes had a shared passion for our project and added significant value through their creative design ideas, their relationships with contractors and suppliers and their interior design specialists. They completed our project on time and on budget and in the end they built our dream house. We highly recommend the team at A. Perry Homes”

    “I hired Lugbill Designs for a kitchen renovation and was very impressed! Erica Lugbill has a terrific design eye and a talent for making a space really pop. She is extremely professional, courteous, and shows tremendous attention to detail. I couldn't be happier with the end results and will use Lugbill Designs for design work for many years to come.”

    Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsJuly 16, 2012
    “The Kitchen Studio did a fabulous job on my kitchen remodel! I couldn't be more pleased with the quality of work, creativity, and professionalism. It was very helpful to have a designer narrow down my choices for me, rather than doing all the legwork myself. I love the ideas that were presented to me and felt comfortable with my choices. The wealth of experience at the Kitchen Studio makes them a must have for any remodelling job!”
    Matrix Home Solutions
    Design-Build Contractors & Firms in Downers Grove
    Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsJune 7, 2013
    “I had about a third of my basement, about 550 sq. ft., completed using the Matrix Basement System. This r-18 rated, water proof, mold proof, mildew proof system (4' by 8' panels) was perfect for protecting my investment. They also did my drop ceiling, all electrical, hvac work and installed the three doors we added. The total process took about 4 weeks. The work crew was very professional. They worked with me in coordinating the parts of this project that I had other contractors complete and made the whole experience very enjoyable. My completed basement blends in with the rest of my house. The insulated panels keeps the humidity down and the temperatures at the same level as my upstairs level. I love it.”

    When building a new house, people often turn to architects to kick off the project. However, a different model is becoming quite popular: home design-build. Instead of dividing tasks between separate architecture and construction companies, you can hire a full-service design-and-build company in Downers Grove to complete your entire project, from initial sketches through final construction. Learn more about how to choose the right design-build pros for your home project below:



    What is a design-build firm in Downers Grove?


    Design-build firms take on the responsibilities of architects, contractors, and construction companies, all under one roof. These full-service firms focus on a streamlined design-build process — from the initial design to the estimating phase to physical construction — in the hope of creating an efficient experience for both the client and the company. Because the entire project is happening within one company, design-build services are able to overlap the design and construction phases of the project, which often speeds up the project significantly. In addition, these firms work to minimize risks for the project owner through single-point responsibility contracts. However, depending on the firm, you may still want to contact an interior designer or other design-build architect in Downers Grove to help create the exact look you want.

    Before deciding on a residential design-and-build company, think about what you want from your new home. Do you want a large kitchen for entertaining? Do you need several bedrooms for children and guests? Do you want a finished basement for extra space or storage? Look for design-build architects that specialize in the areas you're looking for. Budget is obviously a determining factor in the outcome of your project. To make sure you stay within your means, consider making a must-have list and a wish list. Gauge where the estimates are falling to determine which home design-build contract can realistically strike the balance between the two.



    Questions to ask a prospective Downers Grove design-builder:


    • How long have you been in the house design-build construction business?
    • How many projects like mine have you completed?
    • Who will be working on the project?
    • Are the workers employees or subcontractors?
    • Can you provide me with references?
    • Who is your designer, and what are his or her qualifications?
    • Are your employees licensed and insured?
    • How do you charge, and what does that include?
    • Can you give me a written estimate?
    • What do your services include?
    • When can this job get done?
    • What happens when cost exceeds the budget? What about changes to materials or labor pricing?
    • What will I need to provide?
    • Are there any important considerations or concerns you foresee with this project?
