D & S Design Build Inc

They took care of everything. There were some extra expenses that came up due to local codes. They were patient for final payment while I arranged to get money for the government-imposed costs. They provided granite counter tops for free by using leftovers from another job. I am very happy with the basement. I definitely plan to use them again.

Purchased the coupon I think in Jan 2014, but we didn't get started on the work until Apr 2015. I got busy with work and travel, but because I stayed in contact throughout the months, they continued to honor the coupon price. Yay! Dwight was accommodating and went a bit above by meeting with me several times and enduring more than one design change. He and his wife, Stacy, were very helpful in assisting me with the color and material choices. The early days of our cooperative design weren't perfect, in that I sort of struggled to understand exactly what the pieces I ordered looked like. I got a better feel when I actually drove out to their showroom/staging facility. The installation was performed by Matt rather than Dwight. There was a tiny bit lost in the transition, as the deep sink I wanted to keep got tossed during the demolition. They made up for it by giving me credit to purchase a new sink. Beyond that, the installation was impressive. The crew was friendly, professional and highly skilled. I omitted a few thing in my design, but the team was able to design-on-the-fly once we got to a point in the kitchen - and more especially in the mud room - that wasn't fully planned for with my self drafted computer aided drawing. We turned a mud room cubby holder into a kitchen wine rack. Nice flexibility. Great fit and finish. Cleaned up pretty well afterward too. And it was a mess in here, but you'd never know it after.

Will solicit other estimates.

Went well. Every concern I had was answered. Nothing fazed them when wanting to make changes. Very happy.

Subcontractors were hired to do the drywall painting and trim work. While they were courteous most of the time in conversation they worked random hours, making no effort to finish the job stomped all over the house with drywall on their shoes leaving a daily mess to clean up played their radio loudly Spoke negatively regarding the craftsmanship of our new home. Drove through our manicured lawn talked horribly about the owner of the company And most of all did SUBPAR work to say the least. The project was terribly off schedule, and although the owner fixed most of the problems that the subcontractors left behind, it didn't come without tension.

It was our pleasure to have dealt with Dwight, Stacy, Matt and a very professional crew. We were comfortable with them in our home and looked forward to seeing them on a daily basis. Dwight and Matt solved any problems and followed up after completion. Everything is beautiful, we love it!! Its like living in a new house. We do intend to use them again on bathroom remodels.

They patched dry wall and popcorn ceiling. I think they did a good job and they gentle man that did it took the time to make sure it was done right and cleanly so you can’t see the patch in the kitchen. I have not had any issues with the work.

I purchase the cabinets, sink and the hardware such as facets, shower heads and the glass shower doors. He took the time to explain things to me and used his professional experience to make recommendations to stare me down the right path. This project was for 2 weeks but it ended up being a 4 weeks. There are a lot of little things in the bathroom that was not done right. I have a mosaic tile with a pattern in it and rather that have the tile line up correctly there are quite a few spots within the tile that it’s backward. I told them I wanted a white bath and they bought a half white bath. The wires were not correctly done so a light fixture went out. I was frustrated because I was paying the project manager and they were not managing it properly. They were coming at 11 in the morning and they had to leave to work on someone’s garage door.

They replaced all my interior doors and the hardware. They put in all new laminate flooring throughout my entire condo and installed a sliding mirror door for the closet. I think that the general contractor was very nice, pleasant and direct to the point. He made sure I was aware of products quality and recommendation and ensure that I was on the right track. The only problem was the gentleman that came to the doors and the mirror door did not do quality work.

Ended up using Five Star Restoration . I would prefer not to give them an F rating as they did not provide any service. I'm only relating that they did not call me back. They were not the only provider that did not return my phone calls or Internet inquiries. Five star has been responsive every time. So has Exovations for a past project.

Prefer working with a vendor who respects my time and will call especially when they anticipate being an hour late. Stacy the estimator blamed it on her client being late -- but she could have called when she was waiting for her client to show up.

Dwight and his team are as professional as it comes. The work was preformed on time and the clean up and care was second to none. Although this was a big renovation I never felt put out by all the work around me. I wouldn't hesitate to use West Ga Design and build again for anymore projects.

Our experience with West Georgia Design Build, Inc. was far from the nightmare you usually here about with remodeling projects. Dwight Killmon was our company representative and guide through the adventure. He was timely in setting up our initial appointment and subsequently presenting a design plan that incorporated all our needs and some we had not even considered. We agreed on the plan in February, but we needed to delay our start date until late July; Dwight had us on the schedule within a week of our desired date! Danny was our "crew chief", and he and the guys were both professional and proficient. We were always kept up to date on what would be happening and when, so we could make our plans. We were always consulted about any changes to be made or any preferences we might have. They were more than willing to redo anything that "bothered" us. We can't say enough good things about them and their work ethic. They were like family by the time the kitchen was finished. Oh yes, the kitchen is absolutely beautiful, not perfect, but so close we have no real complaints. There were a couple of things about the cabinets that we considered design flaws, but in lieu of fighting with Wellborn, Dwight, Danny and the crew created solutions.

They were very honest and very reasonable. They were very upfront at what they are doing and they were very respectful and also very helpful in guiding me all the way in making the right choices regarding the work that was done.

I would not recommend West GA Design Build to anyone.

The experience with this company was excellent from beginning to end. They did skilled work and demonstrated professionalism and integrity throughout the process, They always kept their promises. Selecting products and materials was seamless and easy because we were treated with patience and given quality advice and suggestions. We will definitely choose this company again.

Overall, the remodel went well as with all older homes you run into snags and there were a few times of miscommunication. Dwight and his crew were very accommodating and made the required changes as needed. We even made additional request from the original quoted job and they adapted in a timely manner. The remodel did take longer than originally quoted but I am very happy with the final results. They generally schedule banking hours of 9 to 5 which work really well for us. The big question would be "Would I hire West Georgia again?". I definitely would and plan to hire them again on future projects.

For such a relatively small job, this one was interesting. Since the house is 28 years old and built on a slab, there were some fascinating challenges, in my perspective. In replacing the old modular shower with a new modular shower (of a different size) The new show had the drain in a different place. Therefore, the concrete floor had to be drilled out and some old plumbing replaced. Also, the footprint of the showers were different, so a creative tiling job had to be performed. The end product of the shower was better than I expected. If I had the money, I would definitely have this team build a tile shower, but, alas, the modular was what I requested. The granite top and faucets were installed with relative ease. We wanted to have a new faucet and handles put on a garden tub, but after attempting to remove the old bathtub faucet, it was determined that the faucet was not removable from the top. The team would have to go in though the sheet rock in another room to replace the faucet. Needless to say, we eliminated that part of the project. However, we do have new handles for the tub. Also, an old tub drain cover was removed and replaced. Dwight sub-contracted most of the work to Fat Boy Builders. What a hoot. These two guys, Anthony and Tracy, better known as "Tiny" and "Slim" kept us in stitches the entire time they were on the job. These two guys showed their talent and skill with all the tearing out and replacement. As funny as they were, they were totally serious about customer satisfaction. We knew the work would be "subbed out". We were informed of that initially; however, Dwight stayed in constant contact with the team, and Dwight assumed full responsibility for all issues and resolutions. On the last day of the job, Dwight personally came back to perform all final "punch out" items. I learned that I definitely do NOT want to be in the construction business. There are too many challenges that require creative solutions. This team was creative, personable, and fun to watch and interact with. I learned to expect the unexpected, be patient, and try not to lose sleep over an issue that is unresolved at the end of the day. I am the worrier type, and I simply needed to learn to trust the team to come up with appropriate, creative solutions. Concrete slabs present their own set up issues. In retrospect, I am surprised that Dwight even took this small, but challenging job. A man of less character might have walked away from this situation once the challenges began to arise. Also, sometimes good results take time. Even though the estimated time to do the work was slightly exceeded, it was worth being patient and not rushing to completion. Rushing to completion could have easily resulted in bad decisions about some of the issues that arose. I will say that, once the job was started, Dwight did not leave us hanging on completing the job. Someone was working on the job every day until completion. I'm sure that each remodeling experience is unique, but at the end of the day, I am glad I picked West Georgia Build Design.

Stacy came out to take measurements for the tile part of our upstairs reno project - this included installing floor and wall tile in 2 bathrooms, as well as two showers and a tub. We already had the tile, so the job would cover cement board and and tile installation. We also had some hardwood flooring in the hallway that needed to be put down. She said they would include that in the quote too. She was very thorough with measurements. She mentioned that it might be August or September before they could start. She told me she'd get the quote to me by next Monday or Tuesday. Next Tuesday goes by - nothing. I wait another week and a half and drop them an email. Still nothing today (a month later almost).

We went with Jerry Barber Construction, Inc., he was wonderful. A.E.S Cabinets did the cabinetry, they did it all within my budget with all of the gadgets and gizmos that I wanted. The job was under my budget, we used the porch and we just had our final inspection and we passed with flying colors!!

Very professional job. Dwight arranged for someone to show up in less than 24 hours to handle an unusual repair. They arrived on time, fixed the problem, and performed a thorough clean-up when the job was complete. They even took care of a problem with the drain while they were at it.

Our home and master bath date from 1998, and the bath was in need of some serious updating. It was comprised of a laminate double vanity with molded counter top and sinks, garden tub, and small molded plastic shower stall. Our goal was to upgrade the flooring, tub decking and shower to tile, install granite countertops and hardwood cabinets, replace the garden tub with a whirlpool, increase the size of the shower, and upgrade all the lighting. Additionally, we wanted to replace a bathroom door that continually banged into an adjacent closet door, as well as increase storage space in the bathroom itself. With no previous remodeling experience, we didn't know quite where to begin with a project of this magnitude. We used Angie's List to review various contractors in our area and spoke to a couple of them before settling on West Georgia Design. From our first meeting, Dwight struck us as somebody who clearly knew his work and could provide useful and practical expertise to us, but, equally important, he impressed us as a man who was honest and forthright in his business dealings. We were correct on both counts. Based on our objectives, Dwight completed a plan and an estimate. Though the original bid came in higher than we expected, we met twice again and agreed on a final price for the materials and work. One of the things that impressed me about this provider was that, even though the work took a couple of weeks longer than planned due to weather delays (certainly nobody's fault) and the inevitable surprises, like plumbing issues, that occur on projects of this magnitude, the final tab came in within a few hundred dollars of the initial budget estimate. We finalized and Dwight purchased our materials after the contract was signed. Here is another area where we would give him very high marks. He worked with us on selecting materials and colors and styles that would all complement each other and work well together. We had already done a good amount of legwork on our own and made some choices on individual components, and ultimately, much of the final result gets down to the details: tile colors, shapes and patterns, cabinet styles, countertop colors, etc,. It's important that your contractor has a good sense of your goal and a final vision of the project in his head as to how everything will work and look together. Once the project began, Danny was the lead on doing most of the work, assisted nearly every day by Aramus. They did the bulk of the demo work, plumbing, painting, and sheet rock, cabinet, Jacuzzi, tile, shower glass and lighting installation. Others also worked with them as needed for specialized plumbing, electrical work and sheet rock finishing. Dwight stopped in as needed - about every 2-3 days - to check on the progress of the project and to make sure it was on track. We had a couple of minor glitches, as you might expect with a project of this magnitude. One was having to relocate supply and drain lines for the new tub and shower in a concrete slab, on which our home rests, and the other was a misunderstanding in the placement of new electrical outlets and lighting bases. The plumbing issue added a day or two to the project, while the electrical issue was pretty minor and was corrected within a couple hours by a re-visit from the electrical subcontractors. There was also a minor issue with the shower door after the project was completed, and the problem was corrected quickly and without any further issue. Overall, the project went very well, and we were always kept well informed by Dwight, Danny and Aramus as to what had been done and what was coming up next. We feel like we developed an excellent rapport with all 3 of them, and they were always, without exception, respectful, receptive and responsive to our needs and changes as they occurred. We could not be happier with the end result, and are enjoying living with our new dream bathroom. The final result greatly exceeded our expectations, and the look of the completed room is beautiful. The color pallet, the materials and the workmanship are all terrific. In fact, we're already making plans to remodel our second bathroom. Many thanks to Dwight, Danny, Aramus, Matt and the other members of the West Georgia Design team that helped make our dream a reality.

We were very happy with the work and professionalism of West Georgia Design Build, Inc. Dwight took the time to help us in choosing the right materials always offering suggestions to improve the overall look. When it was time for the actual tear down and rebuild, his crew was always punctual, easy to work with and cleaned up well.

Seemed competent, but never got back with any plan. To be fair he tod me he had a valid personal issue which I accepted, but 5 weeks later 2calls and nothing......

Dwight Killmon is the owner. He took over this job from another contractor I had to fire. He walked into a mess and has been great!!. He started work immediately and completed more in 2 weeks than the other contractor did in 3 months. The job is not yet completed, but I am 100% satisfied so far. I will keep you posted on the progress, but Dwight is fantastic "I Love Him and his Subcontractors!!"
