Sandifer Design Build

We couldn’t be happier with our new construction, river view home. Nick and team are exceptional. They were responsive, particular and genuinely interested in ensuring we were happy with the final product.

We have had an amazing experience with Sandifer design and build. From the very beginning they believed in our vision, offered insight, and made our dreams a reality!! Many other companies said what we wanted was too difficult, but Sandifer said anything is possible. Lisa was great in helping me with the design, and Edward was more than wonderful to work with! He helped me every step of the way and made sure everyone did an excellent job and that I was happy with the progress. Thank you Edward!! They were excellent and made sure that any last detail or concern was addressed. i could not be happier or recommend a better builder. Please check them out. Thank you Team Sanifer!!

We have used Sandifer for two home improvement projects and would not hesitate to use them again. Communication was smooth throughout each project cycle and their trades/subs are professional and truly skilled at their crafts. The results were beautiful!

Our experience with Sandifer Design and Build was a good one. We have gone through many remodel projects, there are always surprises and complications. The Sandifer team responded right away to any concern or problem. Lisa the designer was easy to work with and had good suggestions to best solve design issues and worked to stay on budget. Edward the project manager was always quick to respond to any inquiry or concern and took care of issues right away. It was a relief to know someone was always on top of things!

Having completed a number of home renovation projects while living in the Washington, DC area, we had a very specific idea of what we wanted from a design and construction firm in the Jacksonville area. From the start, Nick Sandifer and his team felt like the perfect match for what we were looking for in terms of style, culture and workmanship. And the process and final product rang true to our standards and expectations of a first floor remodel of our 1990s home. Throughout the initial discovery and specs stages, the Sandifer team and their fantastic design partner worked seamlessly with us to pull together a plan of action that worked within our budget but didn’t cut corners on quality or creativity. When the real work began, we appreciated the great care and attention the Sandifer team and their subcontractors gave to our family living and working upstairs in the home, particularly during the throes of demolition, electrical and structural work as well as plumbing. The subcontractors’ attendance and work ethic were phenomenal, and we got to know many of them along the way — you could tell many of them felt pride in being part of the Sandifer family and it showed in their loyalty and craftsmanship. We were also impressed by how the Sandifer team worked through supply chain constraints in what was a very interesting year to be doing a large construction project – they were always on top of things by having options at the quick and ready for us every step of the way. Lastly, and most importantly, our site foreman, Edward, might very well be the most impressive person we’ve worked with. He was always present, incredibly positive, and ready to jump in at a moment's notice to solve a problem or advance the project with whatever was needed. It's funny, but the house is so quiet now and we find ourselves oddly missing all of our daily visitors, especially Edward. We consider him a friend now and our two young kids have adopted him as part of our family. In summary, you are getting more than just “a contractor” with the Sandifer team. They'll take their business — which very much seems to be a culture of family — and they'll blend it seamlessly into yours, getting you to the final product in your beautiful new / remodeled home that you so desire. We are already planning for phase 2 and will look no further than Nick Sandifer and team. Simply put, they are well deserving of our highest recommendation!

My wife and I have remodeled homes numerous times, so Sandifer's project was far from our first rodeo. At the outset, I'll admit I was not familiar with Sandifer's method of initiating a project. The expression "measure twice, cut once" would describe it. They put extensive design work in prior to starting (and charged a well-worth-it fee for that work), and emerged with an "all-in" quote for the now well defined project. This is as compared to the "a la carte cost build-up" many contractors use, or worse, the "let's start and we'll figure it out along the way" approach (we've experienced both . . . mostly poor experiences). Sandifer has a superb design team, particularly in the interior space usage, kitchen/cabinet, and interior design areas. You don't need to bring your own designer; Sandifer has that covered. Sandifer's "go-to" subcontractors are all very professional and skilled at their trades ..... and should it happen that one is not fully on top of their game, they see it, and fix it expeditiously. They establish a very clear contract with measurable payment points, and have a "first-in-my-experience" understandable change order system - no surprises! So as craftsmen/businessmen, they excel. But they have more: superb customer relations. To a person Sandifer has great people to work with. To the client, the Project Manager has 80+% of the client contact. Our project manager (Edward) was the best of any job we have done in the last 30 years of remodeling - diligent, on top of the details, professional, and congenial . . but firm with the subs if they needed "some encouragement". Lisa in design, Lenny behind the scenes, and Nick ("the big boss" - always there when needed) rounded out the Team. I'd recommend Sandifer to my best of friends without hesitation . . they won't be disappointed.

Sandifer Design Build did a complete renovation in our home, the project included the entire downstairs of our home including a new kitchen, breakfast room, new floors, walls removed and added. The scope of the work was large but from our first meeting to the final day the entire team worked to being the project in on time and on budget. Nick, Larry and all the team including subs were always at my home on time, courteous, kept the job site immaculate everyday as we were living in the house at the same time. They went above and beyond, took on added projects I threw at them and completed the entire project with enthusiasm and pride in their work. Our home is a reflection of the detail oriented work that they did, it is everything we dreamed of and more. I would highly recommend this company and those who work with them for any new build or remodel, no job is too small or big. They are professional, comfortable to be around, clean, polite and we have developed more than a once off relationship, their continued contact for other projects I have needed has been impressive, once a client, they are always there for you.. It is rare to find such professionals who feel like family after your project has been done, I could not recommend them more. Simply the best.

Nick and his team guided us through the remodel of our kitchen, bathroom amd back porch. We love the result and have signed them on to renovate another bathroom and front porch. Thank you Nick!!!!

Nick Sandifer and his team guided us thru the renovated of our master bathroom, the boys’ Jack and Jill bathroom, and a powder room. We were extremely nervous and considered this a significant emotional event given a recent nightmare experience with a different contractor who took our money but left our outdoor project unfinished and in disarray. Sandifer Design Build is the model of professionalism and integrity. Lisa Carrothers’ design perfectly captured the vision we had for a luxurious master bath. Despite our relatively nebulous description, she designed a sanctuary for us, a playful space for the JJ, and a comfortable powder room for visitors. Edward Lopez, the project manager, organized and directed a team of subcontractors while communicating directly with us precisely who, what, when and where workers would be in our home. They cleaned and cleared any debris on a daily basis. Nick holds his team accountable for the highest standard of performance. The bones and beauty of our new bathrooms is truly remarkable. There is a time honored saying that you get what you pay for. Sandifer Design Build craftsmanship, attention to detail, and customer service is worth every penny. I would recommend Sandifer Design Build without hesitation.

The Sandifer team, lead by Edward Lopez, did a major remodel of our home. We completely renovated our kitchen with the all new appliances and cabinets and we added a walk-in pantry, laundry room and half bath, adding 600 square feet under roof. We sealed and painted the entire exterior. All started and finished in 4 months and exactly on budget. Edward, the project manager, was excellent and on top of the sub-contractors. I have had 10 neighbors compliment me on the renovation work. Just Excellent! Jerry Sarvadi

We have had two great experiences working with Nick Sandifer and company. After he built my parent's beautiful home three years ago, my husband and I knew we would hire Nick for any building or remodeling without looking any further. We are in the finishing stages of a major remodel and couldn't be happier! He is a quality, impressive, trustworthy, honest person. The quality of the subcontractors and the team he assembles are the best. Edward was our Project Manager and he made this project run so smoothly and always so helpful, going over and beyond his call of duty. Nick runs a very professional, synchronized organization. We would certainly use Nick again and highly recommend him! Thank you to Nick, Edward, Lisa, Samantha, and all who have helped during this process and made our home so beautiful!

Beautiful job and an excellent foreman, vendors did their jobs well and the room looks great and I am pleased.
