Working with Buy Design (Jeff, contractor; Josh, architect) was a delight. From the start and throughout the project, they were very professional. Their creative ideas were extremely helpful and enhanced the outcome of our original plans. They were always available and answered any questions or concerns we had. If we ever need any additional work, we will definitely use their services again, and highly recommend them to others without any reservations.
Some of the work involved removing an outside window and replacing it with a door to accommodate a new bedroom with a walk-in closet. We previously had a small lanai with a metal roof which were removed, and a new and larger lanai and roof were built in its place, with access to the existing living room and the new bedroom via a new impact-resistant sliding door.
All new outside walls were matched to the existing stucco and painted so one couldn't tell the old from the new. New soffits, gutters and downspouts, lanai screening and doors and pavers in the lanai were done with great workmanship. All in all Jeff and Josh displayed great attention to detail and the result was first class.
Had a meeting with owner of Buy Design Jeff and assistant Josh Sept 2013, went over house project with them. Liked how fast they could and did start the work. Problems were they used a group of carpenters and other contractors that were B - to C + to work on the house. The carpenters had a dispute going on with Buy Design that caused our project to suffer in work being done to the house. During the project a painter showed up at the house around 9:30pm to asked the home owner questions about painting the house. Which I was never told was going to happen. Screen encloser guy asked son in law to help him install some of the screen cage. Which was not right and did not clean up after repairs. Why am I paying them to do the work? Since home repairs were done, had to remove patio fan that was off balance, installed by Buy Design. Just had a roof put on the house in July 2014 and the roofer found damage to the siding that the carpenters from buy design should have notice and replaced which was next to the gutter that had been installed buy a contractor they hired to put it in. Carpenters dropped nails in our spa which stained the bottom and broke our kitchen window that took two weeks to replace. Did not cover our pool and spent weeks removing the saw dust from the pool. During our project Buy Design owner went out of town which I felt was unprofessional with all the issues going on with our house. Josh which was the assistant was great!!!!!! But still upset with him over all this. To add insult to the issue, owner called up a few days later after the project with the house was done. To coordinate having our pool work done by them. DON'T THINK SO! I don't think josh said anything to the owner about our issues. Don't get me wrong Buy Design is a Great Company. And they do great work!!! But my opinion is they do even better work with a bigger budget than the one we had given them. Should have gotten a discount off the job with the delay and issues we had since. It's been months since the work was done. I let all the issues go until the roofer found the issue with the siding. Just needed to vent and get it off my mind and let it go.
Every time he came to work in the kitchen, he left it clean and as usable as possible for me. Neatness is important, I feel, in any work being done in someone's home.
After the work was finished, Jeff did a thorough inspection of the work with me, to be sure that everything was to my satisfaction.
I could not ask for a more pleasant remodel job, and will not hesitate to call Buy Design LLC for any future work I may need.
