"I had them do a complete remodel due to water damage. They were on time and very efficient. every worker that came to work was very well mannered they had me look at the job every day when they were done to see if I had any questions or concerns. Mr. Ryan went above and beyond my expectation's to make sure my husband and I were satisfied with the work that they did each day. I am looking forward to them doing other work for us in the future. Thanks again, FUQUA'S REMODEL AUTHORITY"

"We'd be excited to work with Richard and the Dream Design Build & Remodeling team on another project! They built a two-story 24'x24' addition to our house over 10 months of construction time and we're thrilled with the results. In fact, we've already recommended them to a coworker! The process throughout was straightforward and easy. The design process was collaborative. The permitting and inspection portions were thankfully transparent to us and fully executed. Immediate term schedules were shared appropriately. Issues were listened to and almost always addressed quickly. Changes and additions to original plans were estimated quickly and either implemented or dismissed with no high pressure tactics. And some upgrades were given along the way when they just made sense. One thing that we particularly liked was how the whole team worked with us regarding our dog. Most of the guys obviously loved dogs in general and ours in particular. She was always excited to greet her visitors and they were excited to do the same. And they were always careful about keeping track of her when entering or leaving spaces she was in so that she was safe. Another thing that we really liked was the availability for communication. We tend to be difficult to reach during the day and ended up contacting Richard later in the evening by phone or text as well as at various times via email. He was always quick to answer or respond. Whether it was answering questions or letting us know what was next, that availability provided a lot of comfort during such a lengthy overall project! All of that said, any project of this size will have some challenges. Areas we'd recommend for improvement are minor relative to the strong positives throughout the experience, but they do exist. We expected some problems to come up, but Richard's responses are what mattered. One example was when the team didn't properly cover the exterior wall during the winter and some water started leaking into our basement ceiling late one evening. We grabbed buckets and towels, and called Richard after a quick triage; his first reaction was to apologize and reassure us that they would repair and cover any damage that this caused. The water got into some brick, so Matthew brought a high quality dehumidifier the next day. Ultimately no permanent damage resulted, so no harm done. Another example was when we got sod in the summer after the project moved fully inside. Erosion was starting to cause problems, so we went with sod. The first two weeks after laying sod are critical for its success, but during that second week it seemed that someone from the team shut off our sprinklers that were on timers already and the sod clearly suffered. It's fair to say that it's not always obvious what will happen by the spring, so we proposed that we'd care for and watch it until next spring; if it doesn't come back healthy, Richard will pay to repair it, and if it does come back then we all win. That seemed like a very fair compromise. Be wary of any review for any project like this that doesn't talk about issues and how they were addressed. We were happy with how Richard moved forward with us and he was a great partner throughout. We are very happy with our new addition and we truly would be excited to work with Richard and Dream Design Build & Remodeling again on another remodeling project!"

"?Excellent tradesmen! Efficient and courteous service?. I highly recommend this pro!"

"They were timely, efficient and most helpful. We were very satisfied."

"Brandon O'Hanlon and his crew are very professional and personable. Our designer, Tracy West, worked with us and no matter how big or how small our requests were they made a way for it to happen. In just 27 days, O'Hanlon Kitchens took our dreams and made it a reality. They took my very small 1980's kitchen and turned it into a beautiful open floor plan kitchen. Not only did they do my kitchen, they also replaced my 1980's brick fireplace with a custom mantle (from a picture I found on Houzz) and added built-ins on either side. And it didn't stop there. They also added a wet bar in the room that we like to call the Parlor. I couldn't be happier with my new home. I love coming home and cooking now. I highly recommend Brandon O'Hanlon, Tracy West and their exceptional crew!" Teresa Brunot"

"I was very impressed with him. Very considerate and did a fabulous job. I will definitely hire him for my next project and will recommend him to friends."

"I highly recommend Merrell Building Enterprise. I was a novice at home renovations and the people from Merrell made sure I understood everything they were going to do, how much it would cost and how long it would take. The work was exceptional - everyone who has seen the kitchen and bathroom love the quality of work."
