“Brandon did a superb job in remodeling our home, including master bedroom and bathroom, front and back entries, decking, doors, windows and exterior lighting. We used to come home from vacation and only see all of the work our older home needed. Now we are incredibly grateful as our home has regained its beauty. Patricia & Del Wright”

“Last year, we began a project to add some additional living space under our existing home. We found a designer and then obtained bids from three different contractors including HouseIdea. We narrowed the choice down to two and ultimately chose HouseIdea because the owner, Vall, confidently explained how they would install the new beams that were essential to supporting the existing house. Vall was personally involved from the beginning. He made some excellent suggestions that would utilize our space more efficiently. For example, he suggested moving the door to the bathroom to another wall as the original design would cause us to lose usable space in the living room area. He noted that our siding should be replaced since there was no moisture barrier in the original construction done almost 40 years ago. Vall listened to us and also helped us to redesign the kitchen and bedroom. All of his suggestions resulted in a better outcome for us. His on-site team, led by the Project Manager (Toni) were always helpful, friendly and professional. They always showed up on time and worked a full day, leaving the jobsite clean and safe. They listened to our numerous questions and patiently answered all of them. The bottom line is that the final product is outstanding and exceeded our expectations. This addition has undoubtedly increased the value of our home, and more importantly provides the additional utility space that we were seeking. I highly recommend this company to anyone seeking quality craftsmanship at a reasonable price.”

“I highly recommend Stephen at FM Design Build to anyone who is doing a remodel or addition, especially of an older home. Our 1800 sq ft project included a gut renovation including load bearing wall removal and 700 sq ft additional living space. Very good, timely communication. On time - as promised, 9 months from start to finish On budget - no surprises at all. Excellent warranty - they stand behind their work. Details: My wife and I had been in the same 1940s home for almost 10 years, but now with kids we were out of space! Love our neighborhood and didn't want to move, so we decided to do a renovation/addition. I researched on Houzz and yelp extensively. I did phone interviews with 7 or 8 firms, then in person interviews with 3 ( all of them are well reviewed here on Houzz and Yelp). My wife and I overwhelmingly preferred Stephen at FM Design Build. He is an architect first, and listened carefully and was very forthcoming and reassuring about the process of architectural drawings, permits, and construction. Met with Stephen in May 2019 on architectural drawings. This was a great back and forth process with about 9 total design iterations. This was a design and engineering contract prior to a construction contract. at the end of this process, we had full specs for the house as it was to be built. Next Stephen bid out the project now as a GC. While this was fully intended to be a design build project, the contract for the build is completely separate from the contract for the design. He bid it and the price was in line with our ongoing discussion during the design piece. Importantly, the price was very close to what the other two firms that we met with in person had estimated as well. FM Design Build and these other firms are similarly priced. Construction started in June 2020. Since it was a full gut remodel with new electrical, plumbing, HVAC, flooring, kitchen, bathrooms, everything, we had to move out. Because of this, the timeframe was critical for us. We agreed that we would be able to move back in March of 2021. FM Design stuck to that timeframe. For residential construction, I believe FM Design build and Stephen are an anomaly. One last thing - six months after the project was completed, I had one little leak on a fixture. I texted Stephen about it the late evening of December 22nd. He called me right away, asked a couple of questions. One of his main guys Josue (who is awesome too btw) came out on Christmas Eve and fixed it. I have faith that they stand behind their work and I fully recommend them. Thomas”
