New & Custom Home Builders Near Troy

“This past winter, I was looking to install a new floor in my home (entire first floor and half of the second floor), build an entertainment center, and finish up some repair work that I had because of a water leak. I found MD&DC through reviews and went with them based on their high marks. I called Julian and he promptly set up a day to come review the work I needed done. It was within a few days or a week when he came out and they provided me with a proposal within a day of the meeting. The proposal is sent electronically, is comprehensive, includes cost, and most importantly to me, a commitment to a time frame to complete the work. The approval is performed with electronic signatures, and then they schedule you once you agree to the terms. Tamara in the front office helped me pick out some design ideas by sending me some pictures as idea starters. One of them was when I ended up using to inspire my design. Julian and his crew showed up at the assigned date, had the tools they needed, and the materials we were going to use. They are professional, prompt, and friendly. They worked with me on issues as they came up, i.e. we needed to make a quick correction to the design to accommodate some other variable that popped up. The work was completed within the quoted time, and the quality was good. i later discovered a couple of small issues that I needed to get corrected, which they did with no hesitation. I included a picture of the entertainment area, which shows the bookshelves that they built for me, the custom made mantle over the fireplace, the stone work on the floor in front of the fireplace, and the new vinyl plank flooring. The picture was taken before I finished decorating, but shows the main work that they performed. I probably could have found a cheaper price using a sketchier company (I've learned my lesson by now), but at this point in my life, I value quality, honesty, promptness, and reliability more than anything else. Would recommend and I will use them again.”

“Hire Nightingale. This is the company you want to do your home renovation and can trust with your investment. We could tell the difference from the initial consultation and walkthrough. We bought a 1950’s mid-century home, but we needed to bring a lot of the home up to the times, so we worked with Nightingale to do a whole-house renovation. Our desire to maintain the original character of the house and emphasize some of its original beauty was embraced and supported by Nightingale. Everyone in the company is thoughtful and considerate. Alan Kraus is perfect at his job – he was detailed, patient, and thorough in helping us get on-boarded to Nightingale’s process and throughout the procurement process. He helped us feel confident in starting the process out by answering our questions, we had so many questions, and being available for any and every question/discussion point during the entire renovation. Claire Rowland is the only person in the world who you want doing your CAD drawings and laying out the specifications of your renovations. And she was so sweet to work with. Our confidence in the company remained through demolition, framing, drywall, flooring and tile, millwork, paint, countertops, and punch list. The whole process. And this was in large part due to the work and relationship we built with our project manager, Jourdan Robles. She’s a no-nonsense, get things done worker. She was clear in her communication, rapid with her responses, doesn’t shy away from having an actual phone or in-person conversation, nor in communicating un-expected items that arose on the job, which were always accompanied by a few options for resolution for us to consider. Nightingale always showed up, consistently, working hard and attentive always. The organization of all the details project and coordination of the many, many subcontracts was run seamlessly, which was all work that Jourdan did behind the scenes. We’d be remiss to not also call out the talent of Dustin Zentz and Joe Mullas in their millwork in our home – they built us the most beautiful, floor-to-ceiling, walnut wall with flawless hidden doors. Everyone on their team goes above and beyond your expectations – people showed up, people worked and completed their jobs, people communicated, and more – people did small things that made ALL the difference. Whereas some general contractors might say “oh, no one will notice this little xzy detail that isn’t perfect”.. Nightingale re-did work to ensure it was done with the highest quality. A couple examples – our very large, and very heavy kitchen island was placed a couple inches off from the drawings; we didn’t find out until it had already been moved to the correct place. A couple inches! Our freshly re-finished hardwood floors had small spots of stripper dropped on it and instead of leaving the small, barely noticeable spots (which would be covered by our kitchen table), the floors were re-done to perfection. We kept our original sub-zero refrigerator, despite the slightly finicky freezer door, to come to see the kitchen progress one day and learn that Joe fixed our freezer door for us. So, long story short, feel free to get quotes from other general contractors, but hire Nightingale to take care of your home.”

“Gianni recently did a tear out and installation of Scavolini cabinets for a kitchen remodel. I cannot speak highly enough of his ideas, work ethics, and care for the job. He was one of the few contractors who did what he said he would do and did it in a very timely manner. The kitchen is far beyond my expectations and this was in part to materials and even more apart of the great job that Gianni and Brian and all of the workers that they contracted with did. Cannot wait for my next remodeling job for GSA Gruppo.”
