From the initial meeting right to the end of our project, DB Designs was nothing short of amazing. They provided the ideas, feedback and design expertise we were looking for and managed it all flawlessly. We remodeled the entire first floor of our home, so we threw them plenty of curveballs. They hit em all out of the park! Kim was so incredibly patient with us as we went back and forth and back again. When I was suffering from decision overload, she kept the ball rolling forward. Doug provided excellent referrals for the professionals needed to do the engineering and construction and we couldn't be any happier with them either. Just a solid team you would never regret hiring.

After my husband and I removed a wall to create and an open floor plan, Doug, the owner of DB Design Center, reconfigured our kitchen in a way that enabled us to add an impressive island, one that is much larger than what we thought could fit in the center of our kitchen. Doug also assisted us with selecting and designing our kitchen cabinets. In addition, we purchased our front door through DB Design Center, which is beautiful. My husband and I have received many compliments on both our kitchen and front entrance. Doug is professional, knowledgeable, and makes the process of large projects and purchases less stressful. My husband and I highly recommend visiting DB Design Center for any type of home remodeling projects and/or large purchases.

It was a pleasure to work with DB Design. I wanted to do a kitchen remodel and started calling around and contacting various local remodeling companies. Most of the companies either never contacted me back or laughed when I told them what I wanted to do and what my budget was. DB Design was different. They contacted me back almost immediately and scheduled a day to come out to my house for a free consultation. Dave and Rita came out and spent over an hour with me about what I wanted, some options that could work, and making measurements of the dimensions of the kitchen. I mainly worked with Rita from that point on and she was a great communicator and was prompt and patient with all of the questions that I had. Rita was good at working with my vision of what I wanted in the new kitchen and also gave helpful suggestions when I thought something would work but probably wouldn't have in the long run. She got in touch with contractors that were fantastic and got the job done in a timely manner. Overall it was a wonderful experience and DB Design really took a lot of pressure off because I knew how much they cared about making me happy in this major renovation of my house. I would highly recommend them!

DB Design did an outstanding job with everything! They came on site with 2 designers to see the property, measured all of the spaces and made recommendations for the remodeling. After completing the designs, they invited me to their design center to review the plans, pick out materials and begin the ordering process. They stayed in touch the entire time and had great communication. They quickly resolved any questions or concerns I had and returned my emails and calls immediately. Overall, a great experience!!

We knew early on that we would ask for assistance with interior design when we made the decision to move from our very traditional two story home into a modern ranch style home. How fortunate we were to be referred to Caroline McCrea at DB Designs. She spent many hours with us as we chose the finishes for our home. Flooring, lighting, cabinets, paint, window treatments and furnishings. Her advice and "fresh" perspective were invaluable. We are slowly settling in as we become accustomed to our new home. We will definitely stay in touch with Caroline and will be asking for her guidance as we purchase additional furniture and decor.

Very well. Pricing on kitchen, bar, dining room & bathroom cabinetry, Kitchen & bath faucets & top of line showers, furniture, lighting, fireplace, full set of new kitchen appliances all made this remodel possible. Without the discounts offered I wouldn't have been able to redo my house. I will be using them to help design and remodel my bedrooms and exterior patios/landscapes when the time comes. A BIG SHOUT OUT NOTE about the designer who helped me, Caroline McCrea. What an extremely wonderful person and designer!!!!! Love, Love, Love her dearly. Her knowledge and personality made this such a great experience. I now consider her a beloved, and dear friend. Her expertise in kitchen design layout is phenomenal - she knows what you want. Her taste is impeccable and she strives to keep you in budget even when I I have tenancies to go overboard. Always pleasant and responsive to your needs. Again, love her dearly.
Description of Work: Entire first floor remodel, including knocking out walls, ceilings, moving plumbing, tearing down ceiling and putting beams in kitchen, new kitchen, new bath, living room, enclosing outside thereby expanding dining room and kitchen, installing fireplace, closing off doors, adding/moving windows, installing hardwood & ceramic floors, installing barn wood on walls and ceilings for visual effect.

We've never hired professionals, were always do-it-yourself'ers. but felt this project was too big for us. DB Designs was very helpful right from the start. Our designer, Caroline, came out to the house to look things over and very quickly got us a first draft of our design. We sat down with her multiple times to go over the design and discuss our options, although, we varied only slightly from her first design. She always had samples of tile or hardware that she thought we may like, and was very considerate of our budget. She has a great feel for getting the best product for a competitive price. Our kitchen definitely has a luxury feel without costing a fortune. Our contractors were very impressed with the accuracy and detail of our design and how quickly we got answers on any of their questions. Caroline was quick to get in touch with our them directly when needed, which we really appreciated. We couldn't be happier with our results, and would recommend DB Designs to anyone!
Description of Work: We moved a staircase to enlarge our kitchen space. Then tore the entire kitchen down to the studs and completely remodeled top to bottom.

Doug and his team were exceptional, start to finish. They helped us redesign the bathroom, find great deals on the materials and connected us with a great contractor for the remodeling. We were really pleased with the process and the results and can't say enough good things about them. We are planning to use them for our upcoming master bedroom/bathroom renovation next.
