Description of Work: Rob and Zack did construction to our master bedroom, main bathroom, and a floor and cosmetic work to the kitchen.They reconfigured the bedroom and put in a beautiful walk in closet, The bathroom was a total gut with unexpected water damage once the floor was removed. I can't say enough about the quality, work ethic, and talent both Rob and Zack have. They are listeners yet steer the layperson to the best options available based on parameters we set. They are postive, take time to do quality work, and go beyond the call of duty. They take pride in their work, fixed little things that were not part of the projects, and kept us abreast as to their progress. They were prompt, worked late, loved the dogs (and visa versa), and had a sense of humor. They educated us along the way. We were in constant communication via text as to any questions or concerns either of us had. I would recommend Rob and Zack 150%. One exception....Rob is a Michigan fan... brings down the recommendationto 149%.

I looked on angie's list for a company that can work with my budget and designed renovation worked with me and tried to stay within my budget. Rob and Zack came to my home took measurements they listen to me. But what impressed me was when Rob asked how much do you went to spend? Then they went an priced the materials and sented me a copy of the draft. They kept me inform of how the work was coming, they adjusted their work schedule according to my threapy schedule. The renovation lasted about two weeks.My bathroom in my basement is BEAUTIFUL, I had told them that I was having trouble with my upstairs bathroom (shower) They took a looked at it told me what the problems was gave me an estimate but said they would have to come back because they were starting a another project. First week on March they came fixed my shower. Now I can take hot showers. My over all experience with Rob and Zack of design renovation was most EXCELLENT 100 Thank you!

Sought out another contractor for both the roof and drywall who did a wonderful job.
Description of Work: I called Rob for a quote on my roof, it took him a week to return my call. He finally was able to come out and look at my roof, he gave me a very good price, but never carried through. He emailed me a quote which only consisted of the materials he was going to use but not the labor. I told him he was hired, but then he emailed me just before he was going to do the job to say he could not do it, because he had to let his roofer go. I also wanted some drywall done, he spent at least an hour going over my home, said he thought he could do it, except for the ceiling in the living room, wasted all my time that day, only to email me again saying he could not do the job because he was backed up. Was not happy with his unreliabliity and would not seek out his services again. In all fairness to him though, he did apologize in his email for this, but non the less, I found this company to be very very unrealiable and would not recommend him to anyone looking for a dependable company.

However, if we bought the materials through them, we could get a discount. They have a web site where you can look at visuals. They were detailed in asking us what we wanted.
Description of Work: They gave us an estimate for our master bath just for service. We would supply the materials.

They did a great job. They were very prompt. They were very courteous. They were very reasonably priced. They were out one day, called me the next, and showed up two days later to do the work. They got it done very quickly for me. There is nothing I disliked about them. I liked the fact that they were very well priced. They were extremely punctual. They were very professional. The work they did is quality work. The owner and his partner were very courteous gentlemen. We would definitely use them in the future.
Description of Work: I used Designed Renovations in November 2011. They did some remodeling in my garage. They put an attic stairs into my garage for access.

They were really inexpensive. Everything is holding up wonderfully. I have bunch of other projects I can’t wait to have them do. The workers were on time. They were extremely helpful. They gave us lots of extra tips. I needed a lint trap in my basement tub, where the washing machine drains out. They advised me to get one. They gave me extra suggestions. I felt like they were not working for us but was just being helpful. They are going to come back and do some insulation in my attic. They were telling me that my house is very hot. They told us that it will significantly raise our heating bills. They offered to look at the insulation and take care of that. I thought that was pretty awesome. It was pretty cool of them to do that. I wasn’t even thinking about that.
Description of Work: I used Designed Renovations in December 2011. They did a bunch of things. They did some drywall patching in my kitchen. They replaced some threshold between the hardwood floor and the tile floor. They put up a shower curtain rod. They replaced some mini blinds. They repaired some wall bents. They also fixed some plumbing in my bathtub. They replaced a showerhead. They installed a medicine cabinet in one of my bathrooms. They replaced an entire tank in the toilet in my basement.
We had a mold issue almost 2 years ago that required the floor & drywall in & around a basement bathroom to be torn out. We had been unhappy with the basement even before that, however. The sink & toilet in the tiny bathroom needed to be replaced & the whole basement was badly designed & poorly executed. We dragged our feet replacing the walls & floor because we didn't really even know where to start. Rob & Zack came in and worked with us to figure out the best course of action. They knew exactly what they were doing and were able to recommend solutions where we had only seen insurmountable problems. First they ripped out an ugly wall of paneling & cabinets and replaced it with a nice wall & door in a much more spatially advantageous configuration. They hung drywall in the walls & ceiling, replacing all of the damaged areas and taking special care to merge it with the areas we weren't re-doing. They replaced a good deal of the plumbing in the bathroom in addition to replacing the sink & toilet. The plumbing was quite old and while they were working on it, they ran into some really nightmarish blockages, but they never complained, they just stayed as late as they had to to get it sorted out. They even installed new lighting in the hallway & built a little box to hide some ugly cleanout ports. We had only planned on remodeling the damaged side of the basement, but when it became clear that we weren't going to be able to join the new vinyl flooring to the old vinyl, they brought in a carpet guy to show us samples & give us an estimate. They moved all the furniture we had on that side (and we're talking about some heavy stuff) so that we could carpet the whole space. Basically we got a totally remodeled basement when we had only planned to fix up part of it. And the cost was about what we had originally planned. While they were here, they also did some work in the kitchen, replacing dishwasher & faucet & running a water line for the icemaker. They did a fantastic job & I'd highly recommend them to anyone who needs some work done around the house. Even if you don't know exactly what you want. Where I once dreaded going down to the basement to do laundry, now we love it & even entertain guests there.
Description of Work: Remodeled basement. Ripped out & rebuilt walls, replaced floors, installed drywall & lighting. Replaced sink, toilet, and door (basically everything) in basement bathroom. Replaced & rerouted problematic plumbing. Installed dishwasher, kitchen faucet, and water line for icemaker. Painted walls & applied moldings.

Arrived at 7:30a in the morning and job was completed by 4:00p. Kept in contact with me to let me know progress of work etc. This is the second project that Rob and Zach have completed. They will be back again to take on another job. Call them. You will be thoroughly satisfied. Cannot beat their cost. I know I did my homework and had 3 other estimates. Not even close.
Description of Work: This is the second installation of a project. This project was installing a floor in the kitchen. Perfect job again. They finished this project in one day. Excellent once again. These guys do it all. All home project. The best is that they work around your schedule.

They have started doing the work. They quoted $10000 for the work. Their price was the cheapest. They are putting the countertop right now. So far, my experience has been great.
Description of Work: Designed Renovations gave me an estimate to remodel my kitchen about a month ago. They will be putting up new cabinets, countertop, sink, and the lights.
Everything was perfect! The guys are 100% professional and excel in customer service. We were happy to welcome them into our home and got along great because of their easy going personalities. They were also very flexible during the estimate process and made many adjustments to the price to keep us within our budget. Their work is quality and their attention to detail was surprising compared to other contractors that I have worked with in the past. The fireplace remodel required alot of custom work and came out looking amazing. We are definitley going to use them again in the future and will be recomending them to our friends and family.
Description of Work: A complete remodel of our family room. This included a brand new firelace (surround, mantle, and hearth), replaced the drywall on the walls and ceiling, installed recessed can lighting, replaced insulation, replaced base molding, installed new crown molding, and installed electrical & HDMI outlets above the fireplace so that I can hang my tv on the wall without any wires showing. The only thing they did not do was replace the carpet.

It went better then I expected. I feel I got every pennies worth! Rob took the time to go to stores with me, and show me all my options. He actually showed me blue prints of my kitchen and showed me lots of different ideas. He never once tried to sell me anything I didn't want/need . Which, for a tight wad like me, is a wonderful thing!
Description of Work: We had our entire kitchen torn out& remolded, from top to bottom.... Literally, the ceiling was removed& even the sub- flooring replaced. When we moved into the house it had sat for a year& a half vacant, so it had all kinds of water damage & such. We wanted to replace anything that could possible cause a problem down the road. We did pick out expensive items for our kitchen, but we love it!!!! We are expecting our first child in july& the contractors worked vigorously to get this project done before our Lil miracle arrived. They worked hard, always took what we wanted into account& helped to guide us as well. They were here everyday, even on Saturday's when needed to get the job done, all receipts were always visible to us at all times, nothing got done without our consent& they were always polite& considerate of my condition by putting up extra visqueen, to make sure I was safe. We would recommend this company to everyone& anyone. As matter of fact we are already thinking about using them for some more projects.
My wife and I own two homes a rental property and the home we live in. We have used Design Renovations at both homes several times. The first time we used him was at our rental property for some interior painting,the got three bids he wasn't the cheapest and he wasn't the most expensive,he was right in the middle,after meeting with him my wife felt very comfortable with giving him the job.and a fantastic job they did,they are complete professionals, and are very punctual and hard working. Since then Design Renovations has done my bathroom remodel,my kitchen,and my dining room I see no reason to look anywhere else. In short they are southeastern michigan answer to Mike Holmes.

First I had 2 other companies come in and look at area needing work. There cost was astronomical. Called Design Renovations Rob and Zach came out the next day. Looked at area needing work. Gave me an estimate. I approved. Zach came days later with tile samples. One week later received a call letting me know that tile was in and they started the work on a Wednesday and completed work on Friday. The cool think is that they worked around my schedule totally trustworthy. They were neat and cleaned up the area. I can't say enough about these guys. In fact they will also do my floors in kitchen in the fall. THEY ARE THE BEST!!!

I liked them. I had five companies come out and give me quotes and they were the lowest. They were very polite and they seemed to be very knowledgeable. They just wanted to give me more of a low end installation and were more geared to Home Depot stuff and I did not want a Home Depot bathroom.
Description of Work: Designed Renovations came out and gave me a quote on a bathroom remodel in October of last.
They were great. I was very impressed with their quote, their responsiveness, and outstanding communication. I ended up going with someone else who would do all aspects of the job including painting and drywall. They spent quite a bit of time understanding my requirements and examining the job. They got back to me promptly with a very clear quote. It was for around $800. I was pleased with that.
