New & Custom Home Builders Near Lancaster

“We hired West Chester Design and Build to do an extensive kitchen remodel. They designed a completely new kitchen layout with a new island, window, and arched entryway. Their workmanship was topnotch and throughout the project they asked for our input to ensure that the kitchen was exactly what we wanted. Honestly, I can’t say enough about how great the guys were and I wouldn’t hesitate to hire any one of them again for a future project. In addition to being incredibly talented at what they do, they were courteous and very respectful of our privacy and of our home. In addition to the amazing team that built the kitchen, they also have an interior designer on staff that can help with everything from selecting paint color and tiles to designing a decorative backsplash. She has an amazing eye and really helped make some of the tougher design decisions a breeze. I doubt any kitchen remodel goes without incident. During the project, we hired another company to replace the kitchen flooring and they burst a pipe flooding our garage. Even though it had nothing to do with West Chester, one of the guys came over at 5:30 straight from another job site and he worked until 8 to fix the pipe so that we would have running water again. This was all organized by Chris Payson, the owner, while he was on vacation. I think that kind of responsiveness really sets West Chester Design and Build apart. When things go badly, you want to know that the team will go the extra mile to make it right. The fact that they fixed this when it wasn’t even their mistake says a lot about their commitment to making the project a success. The team created an amazing kitchen that has all of our friends in awe and that we will love for years to come.”

“Steve is a businessman and a gentleman. He combines the expertise of an engineer with the artful finesse of a designer. He gives ideas and he listens to ideas. This bathroom required maintaining the original nostalgic floor and wall tile while incorporating a corner custom glass shower enclosure, pedestal sink, and toilet. Changes/adaptations in plumbing were successfully implemented. Original moss tile 4x4 integrated with new 8x20 vertical faux white marble and decorative white marble 4x1 3/4 " for a fresh look. Lighting with shiny chrome accessories made the room to sing; the quality of craftsmanship crowning the whole.”

“We are writing to wholeheartedly recommend Timothy (Tim) Strosser of Studio 810 Design as a designer and general contractor for home improvement. In 2012, we met Tim at the Philadelphia Home Show, and were impressed by Tim’s portfolio of previous designs and building projects. On his first visit to our home in the Philadelphia suburbs Tim impressed us again with his instant understanding of our home improvement needs. We wanted to build a new bathroom in a little-used space that was attached to our master bedroom, but Tim suggested a much better solution; building an addition to the house’s second floor, and placing the bathroom in it. This way we got a fabulously looking new master bathroom that is an envy of our friends and neighbors, and avoided a mistake of building a bathroom that would be to small and not convenient. Timothy also designed and built for us a mudroom in front of our house, completely redesigned and rebuilt our patio, and changed the siding all around the house. We are very satisfied with the quality of his design and workmanship of his crew. Tim is a very experienced project manager, and he worked hard to accommodate our specific requirements during the project and to adjust all the logistics accordingly. He was able to keep the project deadlines despite very unfavorable weather conditions, the climax of which was Hurricane Sandy. During the project we occasionally changed our mind regarding some details (e.g., selection of tiles), and Tim was always ready to either accept our new ideas or, when they were not practical, offer very good alternatives. During the project we developed a trusting, friendly relationship with Timothy and many of his crew members. We were so satisfied with our collaboration with Tim that, after the first big project was completed, we tasked him with a couple of smaller projects in our house (e.g., staircase renovation), and outside (landscaping). We are sure that, with his great artistic taste, his extensive technical experience, and his understanding of individual clients’ characters and preferences, Timothy can exceed expectations of the most demanding clients. We already recommended the services of Studio 810 to our neighbors, and we recommend them to you.”
