Design-Build Contractors & Firms Near Poughkeepsie

“Zak and the crew came in for a remodel of our kitchen and really knocked it out of the ballpark. I had a few concerns going in, which is pretty normal, but all hesitations prior to the start-date were safely put to bed. Cost was a big concern, first off. Not that I was against spending, but you need to get what you pay for! I’d seen a few design-build firms and went through a couple consultations, and VBDB’s price was a terrific middle ground, especially since everything was laid out in detail, with a projection that ended up being spot-on. Construction times were another big thing. I wanted all the remodeling done while my wife and I were at work, and obviously we didn’t want to come back to a total calamity. Everything was arranged for our ease and in synchronization with our schedule, and each night we came home we could see our kitchen developing in front of us, with the site kept nice and tidy when the workers left. The time frame we had was 7 weeks, and these guys delivered in the exact time frame we had asked for. All in all, hard to complain about an amazing new kitchen with clear pricing, diverse design options and great attitudes. Will definitely keep VBDB at the top of our list when we decide to fix up our bedroom. Comes highly recommended.”

“My wife and I hired Kling Brothers Builders/Keith Kling to build an addition onto the back of our house, which included a new kitchen, family room, patio, mudroom, and other modifications to the interior. From the start, I was very impressed with Keith’s preparedness and diligence. He created a very detailed and transparent budget (approximately 10 pages), which outlined each item to be done and the price. More importantly, his estimate was accurate, and the prices that we agreed to did not change throughout the project. Keith is also very hands-on. He was on-site every day during the project. He is extremely responsive by email and phone, and if I emailed him a question while I was at work, within a very short period of time, I would receive a response. He was also available on weekends to meet with me, which was more convenient for my schedule. The workmanship of Kling Brothers Builders is top notch. Their on-staff carpenters are excellent, and their subcontractors are all superb. I did not have any issues with shoddy work or questionable characters walking around my property or in my house. Keith is very diligent about the “structure” and integrity of the building, and takes pride in how well built and solid the “bones” of the project are. Although I am not a builder myself, you can just tell that something is well put together by looking at it. Keith stresses quality and perfection, and was not satisfied until we were satisfied. He has access to some of the best craftsmen in the area, and in particular he introduced us to a custom cabinet maker who created a showcase kitchen for us. His other subs, such as the electrician, the plumber, etc., were all personable and flexible. All in all, we were very impressed and happy with Keith Kling. Although my wife and I are reasonable, we also have very high standards. Given the size of our project (to us), we expected top service and attention. Keith came through with flying colors, and he was very friendly, personable, and professional throughout. I have no tolerance for service providers who do not do what they say or make you feel as though you are doing them a favor by giving them your money. Keith is certainly not one of those people. Our project came in on budget, and any additional work that I wanted done was communicated and agreed-to up front. There were no surprises and the communication between Keith and us could not have been better. I give Kling Brothers Builders/Keith Kling my highest recommendation. I hope to use them again on a future project.”

“I remodeled my entire house, using another contractor, and every where I turned I faced problem after problem. Then in 2009, I contracted Creative Design to do my very large kitchen ( 28 feet X 20 feet ) and butler's pantry. IT WAS A PLEASURE! Not only is my kitchen the showcase of my home, it restored my faith in contractors. Creative Designs far exceeded my expectations. They were thorough, patient, professional and competent. The price quoted was the price I paid. I have recommended Creative Designs to family and friends on numerous occasions and every one has thanked me profusely afterwards.”
