Eric and his crew did a fantastic job! We were flooded during Harvey and had the entire house rebuilt. The kitchen and bathrooms are beautiful and very high quality. They pay attention to ALL the details. The custom cabinets are incredible! Eric will work with any budget. The project went over the time schedule but weather was a factor this year. We would definitely use him again and recommend him to friends and family. Definitely worth every penny.

Eric and his team did a great job with the repairs to our home. The kitchen and bathrooms cabinets look wonderful, the floors in our study are amazing and they matched existing paint with the rest of the home beautifully. We appreciate all of their hard work. They went above and beyond with our new countertops and sinks. The gentlemen at our home were always polite and professional.

Despite the disruption and peak activity due to hurricane Harvey, Eric and his workers worked very hard, did a great job and finished in a very reasonable time period. Workmanship is high quality. Eric was very proactive when questions arose, making very sure to understand exactly what we wanted. All in all, they were very professional and respectful of us and our home. Eric's bid was not our highest or lowest offer, but we got good value for our money and are extremely happy with the end results. We would definitely hire Distinguished Designs again and recommend him to our friends.

Our first appointment was 9/21/17 at 11 am. We had to leave work and drive from downtown to meet them. They never showed up. They apologized saying there was a scheduling mistake and rescheduled for 9/22/17 at 9 am. This is also required taking the day off of work to be home during a time when money is scarce. They again failed to show up. At a time like this I cannot believe a company this highly rated on Angies List would treat potential clients like this. We would not recommend this company to anyone who values their time and is desperately in need of rebuilding.
Description of Work: Our house is at ground zero for Harvey and it was badly flooded and stayed under water for two weeks. We lost everything on the first floor. We needed drywall, electrical work, etc. The house was completely gutted and we were devastated.

It was an extensive job and Eric and his crew did a great job. He is willing to work with you on your budget and bends over backwards to please his clients. He is very responsive to calls, emails and texts. He was also very quick in helping me with our rental home that got some water damage from Harvey. Very quick to respond and do the job. Pictures of our renovation project is on his Facebook page if you're curious to look at the work he does.

My girlfriend and I recently bought a house , it is older and thus needed a good deal of work done. Eric was in constant communication throughout the job with us so he could get every detail right. He also suggested some innovative ideas which made the bathroom look even better! We couldn't be happier with how everything turned out. He was extremely professional and the quality of work was top notch. Will definitely be the only person we call in the future for home repair/remodel

The job went extremely well. It did take a little longer than I had hoped it would take but I have to own up to the fact that most of the extensions to the timeline were my fault: I hadn't made the needed decisions when he asked for them or I modified the job by asking for more than I originally had requested. One important comment to note: the company owner insists that his work is of the highest quality; he consistently monitored the work that was done to ensure that it met his standards and on two occasions he had his crew redo work that he felt was not up to his standards (at his cost, not mine). He strives to maintain a skilled professional crew in order to ensure quality control.
Description of Work: Remodel of Pool Room to include adding a kitchen area, as well as a complete remodel of existing bathroom. Bath had one sink, toilet but no shower. Company owner provided valuable ideas for design of both kitchen and bathroom. Additionally, if he felt that what I was asking for might be improved or possibly would not work, he very politely (and professionally) suggested other options and/or explained why what I was asking for wouldn't work. The end result of the remodel as fabulous and much better than I had ever envisioned. He also was more than willing to take the time to provide assistance with selection of materials (granite/tile/paint) and even went so far as to drive me to the various material suppliers when my husband was out of town so that this elderly lady didn't have go by herself!

Eric Fowler came up with a great design that blended perfectly - he took his time and discussed it with his carpenter - his idea was way better than anything I could have come up with myself, and I was thrilled. The carpenters did the carpentry work faster than they estimated, and they did a perfect job. Then the painter, Manuel Sandoval, took great pains to get the shade of the stain customized because Sherwin Williams wasn't able to match it - he did a perfect job in staining and finishing the new carpentry to match what was already there. At the end, Eric and his crew spent hours mounting my flat screen and setting up my router and other equipment, working out every detail to make sure the finished look was perfect. In addition to Eric and his crew's artistic skill and professionalism, they were all so very nice and cleaned up at the end of each day. They came in at budget both in cost and in the time the project took. My husband and I could not be happier with the job they did and we will certainly be calling them again for future projects.
Description of Work: We recently moved into a house that had a twenty-year old "tv hole" in my built-in wood cabinetry in my great room - the kind of 5 foot tall, 5 foot wide, 30 inch deep opening that held the big box tv of the 90s and its big heavy-duty stand. My flat tv, router, soundbar etc. were all sitting on an old dining table inside this mammoth hole. The cabinetry is a stained maple - it runs from wall to wall of this large room and matches the kitchen cabinets and island. So, I couldn't tear it all out and start over without spending more time and money than I have, but I knew it would take great expertise to update only one portion of the cabinetry, come up with an updated design that blends with the remaining cabinetry, and come up with a finish that would match the remaining cabinetry.

Hire Eric if you want the work done right the first time and at the right price. What impressed us the most was how attentive and patient he was to what we needed, and how he was able to do extremely complex work with difficult materials at an amazing price. Eric is a perfectionist, and often would order fixing or replace work that did not meet his exacting standards without us even asking. The results he achieved were proof enough for us. We recommend him for any work you have without reservation.
Description of Work: We hired Eric to do a major bathroom renovation, to build and install custom cabinets in the kitchen, and to perform various painting and masonry work. The bathroom included a custom shower with special materials and custom built-in cabinets.

Eric did whatever was necessary to please me, and he always had a pleasant attitude. Another plus is that I felt his prices were reasonable.
