Designhouse Kitchen and Bath, LLC

Thank you to Designhouse Kitchen and Bath! We are EXTREMELY pleased with the awesome tile job completed on our porch. Everyone at this company is very professional. The team laying the tile were stellar at what they do, were perfectionists and in addition they are great guys!

We cannot say enough about the job Design House Kitchen and Bath did on our new master bath project. We worked with David and the Designhhouse team to redo our master bath and to make the small closet larger. From the selection of materials and fixtures through the construction and clean up, everything went smooooth as could be, and we ended up with beautiful master bath. We now have a steam shower (which I love), heated floors, L.E.D lighting, a bidet toilet and an all-around beautiful bath to start the day. The bottom line is I would recommend this company to anyone needing a remodel on a bath or kitchen. They were easy and fun to work with, did what they said they were going to do, and did a BEAUTIFUL JOB !!

David did a great job helping us with the kitchen design. We wanted to do the installation ourselves but get a professional design and help ordering the cabinets and Designhouse was great at helping us with that. He came up with a great idea for the pantry doors which is always commented on by guests at the house. A few issues arose which is expected for a large project like this but David was always able to work with us to come to a satisfying resolution. Will be reaching out again when we look to renovate our master bath this year.

This was the second time we used Design House to remodel a kitchen in a home we owned. We were very happy with the design and the finished kitchen project. We gained storage and counter space. The design made our kitchen more usable.

Design house has brought my kitchen and baths back to life. They do quality work and they stand by their work. The have remodeled my kitchen and 2 baths which were stuck back in 1984. I could not have been more pleased with the results. I appreciate their attention to detail and how they kept me informed throughout the entire process. If you are looking to have a kitchen or bath remodel, I would recommend Design House.

Designhouse Kitchen & Bath did a complete renovation of our master bathroom, Powder Room, installed hardwood floors in our master bedroom as well as refinished existing hardwood throughout the 1st floor, installed new cabinets in another bathroom & laundry room..needless to say, it was a significant renovation & the transformation was nothing short of amazing! David Taylor’s design turned our dated bathroom into a retreat & gave our home a much needed upgrade. David made great suggestions & turned our vision into a perfect balance between style & functionality. David/Tim were always quick to respond to our questions, kept us updated with any hiccups along the way and we greatly appreciated keeping the job on schedule. The contractors/sub-contractors were professional & respectful to our home. special thank you to Luke, Dion, Lisa, and Ernie whom we enjoyed having around. We are very pleased with how the renovation turned out, it exceeded our expectations. We appreciate the follow up even after completion of the project & will definitely hire them again in the near future to remodel our kitchen. Highly recommend!

My bathroom turned out amazing they listened to my ideas and made it a reality. They were more than nice and finished the bathroom in no time! Highly recommend

I have known and work with David and team for many years. I'm happy to have them as friends and colleagues.

Our kitchen remodel turned out fabulous -- primarily due to the professionalism and skill of the Designhouse team (really a family, not just a team) and their subcontractors. They were easy to work with and obviously cared about the outcome of the job - Shoemaker Kitchen. Their experience, flexibility, and creativity really showed in the final result. I appreciated their taking us on a tour of suppliers (flooring, countertops), and the cabinets they use are top notch. [The pull out shelves support the pile of cast iron skillets with not so much as a wobble.] Including space for a broom and a stepstool in our small kitchen was super, the undercabinet lighting is used every day, and overall we've absolutely no regrets about any of the choices.

The design team listened to what we wanted and offered excellent advice on how to achieve our beautiful master bath. The tile installers were perfectionists which we really appreciated. While in our home they were very considerate as I work from home. Even our dog was very relaxed around them. In the end we were completely satisfied. Highly recommend.

David and the team did a beautiful job converting our half bath into a full. Worked with us to make the price point manageable for our budget. Only hiccup was that the timeline was pushed out much farther than expected due to supply chain issues and a subcontractor who bailed. They were honest about the issues and worked hard to make it right. Very communicative throughout the whole process. Would recommend.

I met David some 6-7 years ago through a colleague of mine. I was operating a distribution center at the time when I got to know David and the family of Design House Kitchen and Bath. David and I discussed the opportunity to do a complete remodel of some 2000 square feet of office space including a full working kitchen, break room, custom reception desk, bathroom, wall cladding, flooring, and custom cabinets from his suppliers. David and his crew were eager and willing to take on the task. Mind you, this was no easy task as the owner of our company is very picky. David and I sat down and came up with a conceptual design. He listened to what we needed and how the finished project was expected to look. Soon after the tear down and project started. David was very professional throughout the process, especially with our customers as we had to remain open for business. David and the team cleaned up thoroughly after every trip to ensure when our doors opened the next day we could operate. His scope of knowledge for remodeling is above and beyond. He was able to complete tasks without the help of any additional sub contractors. The entire job took about 5 months from start to finish, Again, this a complete up fit of 2000 square ft. The entire process was smooth, of course there were some hiccups, but David and his team were able to work through them diligently and remained focused on the outcome. I could not have been more pleased with the outcome, I must say! Design House Kitchen and Bath is at the top of my referral list and I highly recommend them on any job.

David and his team are honest and do high quality work. We had them do out main bathroom several years ago, hardwood and tile floors last year, and are now doing kitchen counters and cabinets. We love how it looks, and the team was great to work with!

Wow! Can I just say “Wow!” Beautiful work done professionally and when promised. Offered great suggestions and advice. Would definitely hire again.

This is the third home project that we’ve done with Designhouse Kitchen and Bath LLC and I cannot say enough great things about this company! So easy to work with, professional, high quality work! We love our new floors! Absolutely beautiful!

Andrews Master Bath (there are 7 pictures of my project) Do you know the overwhelming sense of relief you feel when you find a person that you can trust without hesitation? David Taylor is that person. I designed and built a house for my parents over 15 years ago ... before hip replacements, compression fractures, rotator cuff surgeries, cataracts, hearing loss, dementia, and just plain old getting 15 years older. I didn't get a sales pitch from David. I found someone who listened to my concerns and created solutions. David Taylor came in, looked at the worthless oversized garden tub where my mom stored her big drying rack and "stuff", and the tiny shower my father was afraid of falling in ... and redesigned the space. When they did the work they were very tolerant and good-natured with my parents, answering dozens (maybe hundreds) of repeat questions. And never fussing when it was evident some large "critters" had entered the off-limits construction zone to get a peek. They always cleaned up behind themselves (attributes my teen still hasn't acquired), and did a fantastic turn key job!! I've never worked with such a great group of people and couldn't be more pleased with everything they accomplished. I will admit that I was glad when everything was finished ... I think my folks had begun looking forward to seeing David and his crew more than me :) The master bath is now practical, beautiful and SAFE. Because of David and his team, my parents are still able to live in their house ... still able to take nice steamy showers on cold nights, and cool refreshing showers during hot summers. Thank you David Taylor for answering my prayers !!

David, Tim, Ernie did a complete renovation of our kitchen earlier this year (2021) . We are completely pleased with the results as they remodeled our 35 year old kitchen into a modern facility. This was a complete renovation replacing all cabinets and appliances, taking things down to the studs. Very professional in scheduling the work and always let us know when they could not make it on some days. Took multiple inspections as water and drain lines were rerouted, electrical lines were added and changed, also adding in gas lines for a gas stove. This was a major project taking 6 weeks to complete, but that was in line with the initial estimate so completely acceptable

David and his team are a class act! DesignHouse remodeled our master bath, kitchen and two other baths. They did an amazing job! They do quality work and are very professional. David has incredible ideas on what you can do with your remodel. I highly recommend them!

Our kitchen (see the Kearney Cary Kitchen photos above) has been finished for nearly two months, and the sense it's new hasn't yet diminished. We are extremely pleased with the way it turned out, and we owe it to Designhouse Kitchen and Bath, LLC who did the work. Our house is about 15 years old, and the kitchen was a peninsula design, triangular with one (same) way to get into and out of it. We had for a long time wanted to change to having an island design. We knew that meant quite a lot of work and money as, although we weren't changing walls, we needed new cabinets, plumbing, electrical, lighting, and flooring- the works. We had a lot of cabinets and mindful they're a big (the biggest) expense, we hoped to use as much as what we had and paint the doors. We did not want to refloor too much- just to lay new flooring where the peninsula had been and match the rest. About mid-2019 we went to the Raleigh Home-show at the Fair Grounds and spoke to several contractors and had them come and give us quotes. Several did show up, took a few measurements, took photos- about half of them were really interested predominantly in refacing existing cabinets but could order new ones, but the plumbing, electrical, appliances, etc. we had to arrange ourselves. Despite these limitations, we learnt later they were pretty expensive too. David Taylor showed up and with considerable gusto talked to us in fine detail, bouncing ideas between us on what was possible. He was enthusiastically measuring things, sticking painter’s tape around the place, giving us ideas and vision what was possible, including repurposing cabinets we were replacing to improving the cabinets that remained. We liked him a whole lot from the outset! He did ask for a check up-front to continue with the plans which I remember made us a bit anxious, but when we showed up a few days later- his plans were terrific- very detailed, computer generated, and with 3-d renderings showing what it was going to eventually look like. Already- money well spent. We had another big meeting that went well after midnight, when we refined the plans- he had his laptop to change the plans, and documentation about 3 inches thick to iron out the myriad of details of a comprehensive kitchen redesign. We decided that new cabinets along a wall were necessary, and we went a bit crazy with all the nice features- drawers, pull-out trays, spice racks, compartments, ... We signed with Designhouse, (comprised of David, his Dad, brother Tim, and journeyman Luke) and, much to our relief, they are the type of contractor who'd arrange all the subcontractors. We changed our mind about the cabinet style- we eventually decided to get new doors and drawer fronts for the boxes that remain so they'd match the new cabinets. We changed our mind about other things too. We agonized about paint colours, drawer pulls, the sink, which cooktop and exhaust to buy, and which dishwasher,... we probably tried David's patience but he never complained. Long story short- the Designhouse product is first class. We did have change-orders, but most of them were materials. We never squabbled over the money. Very importantly- no quality issues. Whenever there cropped up things we thought needed improving or hadn't turned out so well, David was already onto it. Example: matching newly-laid hardwood flooring to what's existing is difficult, and we had set our expectations accordingly the match would be noticeable- David took 3 goes to get it as right, and now it's only when you get fairly close do we see the boundary, and as time goes on it's getting better. A measure of how good a contractor is not how he acts when things run smoothly but when they don't. The quartz countertops were installed, and in a couple of spots there were blemishes or some type of repair had been done, and we thought they weren't good enough. We anticipated a big dispute, but David argued with the reluctant supplier and fabricator and we ended up with new countertops that were perfect. We were continually amazed that we'd call David to tell him something minor- a spice rack is not sliding smoothly for instance, and David never didn't understand, or confuse us with another job- it seemed he'd committed to memory our design in all its minutae. He did pick up the phone and did respond promptly to texts. In conclusion- we have a new kitchen, that has terrific design, tons of features, massive storage, about half new cabinets, the rest seems new too (he got him to replace the hinges and soft-close the old drawers too)- a kitchen that has a tremendous amount of cabinets. Also, new lighting (island lights, requiring amazing fishing of wire through walls), plumbing (a new modern sink and disposal), HVAC (including cooktop exhaust), flooring, and paint (we went and repainted most of our downstairs), new cooktop and dishwasher, really, really nice quartz countertops and quartz back-splashes- and it's utterly beautiful!!! I was back at Raleigh's Fair Grounds yesterday for the auto-show- I could easily blow what I spent on the kitchen, or most of that, on a new car. There's an important intangible benefit of the new kitchen- our family likes being in it. Before, anyone in the kitchen was "fenced-off" by the peninsula- now it's so much more open. One of us working in the kitchen can now be engaged with whoever is watching TV, or sitting at the table (doing homework) and the island being 5x9' allows both of us to comfortably be working at the same time. There's even room to keep our laptops and tablets set up at one end. We're all closer.

We contracted with DKB in summer of 2019 to renovate three baths including the Master, Powder Room and Guest Bath. The DKB team was exceptional to work with - extremely conscientious, courteous, professional and genuinely nice. They were always in communication with us regarding the project and delivered on every aspect. We are thrilled with the end result and would highly recommend them. Thanks so much, David to you and your entire crew! Five Stars !!!

David was a wonderful collaborator as we worked with him to design our bathroom. He listened and also shared some good ideas with us. He was very knowledgeable about options and advantages/disadvantages of particular design choices. He regularly communicated to let us know when he or his team were due to be at house. We now have a beautiful bathroom that we love and that has added much to the value of our house. Very professional and in on budget.

One of the initial reasons we hired David was that he had an extremely thorough estimate. We also liked that he had a family business and both his father and brother are involved. The carpentry and tile work were excellent. We were EXTREMELY disappointed in how long the project took. First they started a week later than we were promised. Once they began, they would work a day or two then not show up for 3-4. The small bathroom renovation was approx 7-10 full days of work and it took 6 weeks to complete.

We could not be happier with our new master bathroom!! David and his workers were pleasant, professional, honest and reasonable. Their design help both from David and his tile, granite, fixture suppliers, etc., were really helpful. Whenever there was even a small concern or issue, David took care of it immediately and to our complete satisfaction. Even after the job was completed and completely paid for, when an issue arose, David took care of it within a few days. Highly recommended!!

David and Design House are absolutely fantastic. He was very open, honest and up front during our kitchen renovation. He and his family are excellent carpenters and great problem solvers. We could not have been happier with how our renovation turned out. I would highly recommend Design House for your home renno.

David and his team remodeled our kitchen, and from start to finish it was a fantastic experience. They are professionals at what they do, expert problem solvers and solution finders. They kept the workspace as clean as possible, and we enjoyed having them around! David is a great communicator, and we always knew where things stood and what was happening next. He also managed the timeline very well. Together we came up with a vision and plan that exceeded my expectations when it was complete. We will absolutely use DesignHouse for our future projects, and highly recommend them.

Our experience with David and his Designhouse team was excellent from day one. They renovated a very dated guest bathroom into a bathroom that I still walk into everyday and go "WOW!!! David and his entire team were exceptional in communicating with us throughout the project. They also "showed up" when they said they would and "on time!!! Also, the worksite was kept cleaned. Our project did take longer than anticipated, but it was due to a unforeseen defect in a faucet. Our agreement with David did alert us to such potential issues, so we knew it could happen. Overall, we are extremely happy!!!

DKandB has remodeled two of our bathrooms. They worked with us from conception to final product and did great work throughout. Their stone, cabinet, and glass suppliers make beautiful products. We appreciate their commitment to doing the job right, no matter what it takes. They are also fun people to work with.

In March, my Mother hired David to update her bath and dressing area as well as update and install a new pantry. The contract was clear and straight forward and David did a great job explaining every aspect of it. Ultimately, David and his crew created a beautiful bath and wonderfully functional pantry! Their work ethics were beyond reproach...they were so very pleasant to be around and always cleaned up after themselves. They took great care in protecting my Mother’s flooring over the entire process. David was very easy to work with and offered great suggestions in the remodel. My Mother and I highly recommend him and the entire crew (family) at DesignHouse Kitchen and Bath for any remodel project! Believe it or not we were sad to see them leave.

David responded immediately when called for an estimate, and was timely with all responses during the construction phase. He was flexible with our schedule and completed work on time, although never soon enough if you are the homeowner! We are very happy with the renovated bathroom and glad to recommend David and his team.

We met Designhouse at the Home Show at the fairgrounds. David and his team did a full gut to our kitchen even knocking out the wall between the kitchen and formal livingroom. We wanted hardwood floors in the kitchen and David refinished our old hardwood floors and matched them perfectly with the new kitchen floor. David listened to what I wanted and then delivered making suggestions for finishing touches to give us the beautiful kitchen we love. This is a team you can trust in your home while you are out. We highly recommend Designhouse and will call them if we have a remodel in the future.

I had my master bathroom redone by David and his crew. I am thoroughly pleased with the outcome. They were professional and the attention to detail was more than I could ask for. I would certainly hire them again . I highly recommend them. They were easy to work with especially with my crazy work schedule.

David and his team did an amazing job on our 3 bathrooms. They were professional, HONEST and trustworthy. It was really important to me to have someone I could trust and be comfortable with in my home. Our bathrooms turned out great, the workmanship is impeccable, they stayed on budget and finished in a reasonable length of time. My next project is going to Designhouse!! Thank you David!!

We remodeled our kitchen and Designhouse did a fantastic job! David and his crew are extremely easy to work with. They are responsive, and communicative throughout the process. David has very good attention to detail and takes pride in his work. We are extremely happy with the finished product - Highly recommend!

David and his team are a pleasure to work with. They performed a total remake of our master bath. They were helpful with everything from design to demo to installation. They were very careful to minimize the disturbance to our normal routine and completed the job in a reasonable amount of time. We were very happy with the finished result.

We met David Taylor from Designhouse Kitchen and Bath when he came to look at a master bathroom project that had been botched by another contractor. He immediately eliminated bad feelings and fears from our earlier experience, and we hired him to complete the project. He redesigned and completed the project to our original plan even though the first contractor said it couldn't be done. It was done and done well. His crew was punctual, energetic and extremely hard working. They showed up when they said they would , and they went above and beyond to leave the site clean at the end of each day. David finished the project in the established time frame, and he managed to stay on budget even when we added some items to the list. We would highly recommend David Taylor and Designhouse Kitchen and Bath, and we hope to use him again in another project in our family room.

Designhouse Kitchen and Bath did a complete remodel of our master bathroom size 10x14 new tile floor, marble counter tops, new mirrors, and new shower 5'x6' complete tile and marble with built in niches corner shelf and much more. A large project for us that required a lot of new design that David was excellent with working with my wife on from picking out tile and marble and most of all the design of our master bath. His ideas where great. We are pleased in recommending David Taylor with his family and crew we were treated with respect thru the whole project it was a great experience for us we give his company a five star rating! David we enjoy it every day Thank you!

I hired David for a bathroom remodel which required a lot of demo work! He reconfigured walls and had to level out floors. David took the extra time to ensure that the foundation was perfect to minimize any flaws or imperfections when the tile went in. The end result was absolute perfection! I should mention too that David was very helpful and patient with me in selecting tile and was able to offer sound advice based on his experience with certain types of tile. David was a true partner in this project and I truly appreciate the time attention he dedicated to me!!!
