"Adam designed and constructed a window seat / storage bench for us, and it turned out more beautifully than I could have imagined. The craftsmanship was incredible, and he matched our existing moldings / trim work so that it looked as if it had always been there. We are definitely hiring him again for future projects - very skilled, professional and efficient."

"I highly recommend DDR. There are so many contractors out there and it is difficult to know what youâ ll get when you hire someone, from the quality of the work to the level of communication. This team did a great job from start to finish, and delivered a beautiful new space for my family. We selected DDR after getting multiple bids to update our walk-out basement into a more livable space. Key in this selection -- the price was competitive, and the team seemed attentive to the project needs as outlined. I had a tight budget and relatively aggressive timeline for this project. Admittedly the timeline was impacted by a few things that were out of DDRâ s control, including the Town building inspectorâ s schedule and a delivery delay (a new window arrived damaged and had to be reordered.) Nevertheless, the team stayed on budget and delivered a wonderful new basement. What a great project team -- led by Alex, the team (including John + Angel) truly transformed a dark dingy space into a bright fresh room. Alex was very thoughtful in suggesting options that would improve things and was exceptionally attentive to detail. He was super responsive to any texts or questions. In particular, I appreciated his high level of â perfectionismâ in how the finished product turned out. For phase 2, we need some custom cabinetry built for the space and I look forward to having the DDR team return to work on this next phase."

"I have been a fan of Taylorâ s design style for quite some time and was so thrilled to work with her when refreshing my living room. Taylor identified my design style and then worked tirelessly to design a functional (for WFH/with a dog) living space that really reflects me. She has impeccable taste, is very detail oriented, quick with design, walked me through the whole process- including digital mockups at every step and was super cognizant of both my goals, and budget along the way. I would highly recommend working with Taylor if you are refreshing a space, starting fresh, or need some design advice or insight!"

"We recently worked with Cardinal Design to create the plans for our new home, and we couldnâ t be more pleased with the results. From the outset, he was professional, attentive, and highly knowledgeable. Jimmy took the time to understand our vision and translated it into detailed, precise drawings that perfectly captured the layout and style we had in mind. He offered valuable insights and suggestions throughout the process, ensuring that the design was both aesthetically pleasing and functional. We especially appreciated how well he worked with our ideas, offering creative solutions to any challenges we faced. Communication was clear and prompt, and revisions were handled efficiently. The final set of plans was thorough and easy for our builder to work from, which helped the construction process go smoothly. Overall, working with Jimmy was a fantastic experience. He brought our vision to life with a level of detail and precision that we truly appreciate. We highly recommend Cardinal Design to anyone in need of a skilled draftsman."
