"Once again, they did an excellent job. They moved a wall to make the powder room larger and remodeled it to accommodate my handicapped mother. I have used them in the past and will use them in the future."

"John and team transformed our old bathroom shower into a modern “marble look” porcelain tile shower. His team started work quickly and adjusted hours to our schedule. The were extremely helpful providing design recommendations, quick to complete the project, worked cleanly/neatly throughout the project (no dust and debris anywhere), and were easy to work with. And, their price was the best of the three contractors I talked to. I would highly recommend John and his team. Our shower looks incredible, thanks to John’s quality work. I wish we had done this sooner."

"POORLY!!! It took me over 2 years to pick the colors. I had finally made the decision to move forward and researched many companies. They all came in around the same price, but since I had read good reviews here, I decided to go with Jay. I had to reach out a few times wondering when they would actually start. Finally his 2nd guy in charge, James, came out and we discussed what was to be done again and sign the contract. As I was not sure about the finish, I asked about options. He described flat to me and I was totally against it as I did not want to see streak marks, have to clean it once a week and it just looked lifeless to me. I am a very colorful person and enjoy seeing color. He told me I still had time to decide. Weeks went by again and he finally stated he would be out on a Monday with the worker so we could go over things and they could start Tues. We walked thru everything and did not discuss the type of paint. I had forgotten as I was excited to finally have the work started. In his paperwork, it should have stated that the finish had not been decided and we should have talked upon the final walk thru. Nothing was mentioned. The worker came the next day and began painting. At the end of the 1st day, as I started to look over everything, I noticed that it was flat paint, there was paint all over the woodwork, the ceiling was not done correctly, there was paint on my bedroom furniture and carpet, the bathroom looked like a 5 year old did it, he missed a whole closet, the closets he did were bad. He did patchwork but did not sand well and just painted over it. The kitchen, the same thing. Did not patch at all and just painted over the mess that was there. I contact James and made him aware of the problems. He came out and we went over everything. I was very clear about the everything and that flat paint was never an option. He tried saying that be cause I never told him what I wanted, this flat was their default if the customer did not ask for anything specific. I reminded him in numerous conversations for over a week about what was said, and he finally agreed to buy more paint at his cost and he would fix the problems. Sent the same guy back and after the day, I said in the light of tomorrow I would review and get back to them. Hold onto your hats because he painted it a 2nd time in FLAT!!!!! I broke down in tears! This house that I loved now had the wrong paint on it for the 2nd time, still paint all over the woodwork. Closet still not done. At this point, I sent an email to both James and Jay stating what happened. Jay, the owner of the company never responded. This is his name out there and you would think he would care enough to follow up on his workers totally giving him a bad name, but nope. Not a word. James wanted to make it right but after 2 failed attempts, I couldn't let them near my house. I broke the contract and would never, ever recommend them to anyone. This is the reason for this review. I have had anxiety trying to find someone I can trust to fix the mess that Jay has left behind and spend additional money fixing the problems he and his team created."

"Paul is fantastic to work with. I've worked with his company on several different projects over the past 5 years - kitchen remodel, front porch remodel, stairwell rebuild. His team is knowledgeable, responsive and good at what they do. Can't recommend him enough."

"Remodel went extremely well even with material delays (not ordered through Rowe construction.) They were able to pivot and work on different areas of this extensive remodel. This crew showed up every day and notified us if they were not going to come or if they were delayed.They also pointed out and/or were able to troubleshoot areas of design that wouldn’t look aesthetically pleasing. In addition, they cleaned up the interior each day and regularly picked up construction waste placed in the garage during this process."

"They were efficient and knowledgeable. The work went very well and was completed in a timely manner."

"We hired Design First to redo our downstairs including a kitchen and bathroom. I would never recommend this company to anyone based on our experience with them. The company should be renamed Disappointment First. We used this company due to the recommendation of a friend but did not realize the ownership had changed. There are several other reviews that discuss how the company’s performance degraded with the new ownership. If you do use Design First, please learn from our mistakes in dealing with them and insist upon a firm completion date with a penalty per day for missing it. Several of their competitors offer this, and in our naivete we did not request a penalty for missing the completion date. We had a signed change order with a guaranteed 12/25/23 completion date, that they missed by several months. When we brought this up in discussions with them, they were dismissive and stated no penalty so nothing we can do."
