Get matched with top home builders in Brooks, KY

"I feel very fortunate to have found Distinctive Design Remodeling at a home and garden show. A representative met with me immediately after I contacted them and spent the time to fully listen to my needs and expectations. We had met with several other builders and were very impressed by Jesse. His estimate was precise and included all aspects of the room addition project. Every one of the sub contractors did a superb job and Chris,the project manager, keep me informed every step of the way. I could not be more pleased with our new addition and would absolutely use DDR again and refer them to anyone looking for a remodeling company"

"I can highly recommend Georges Construction for ALL your home improvements needs. I have owned 6 houses and have hired many contractors and none of them can hold a candle to this company and their work ethic. George's crew is highly skilled, hardworking, on time, friendly and a pleasure to work with every day. They showed up at the crack of dawn and worked until dusk and several times beyond. George has very high standards when it comes to the quality of his work, and he made sure that we were satisfied with every aspect of the garage build. We are not the typical customers and wanted to add "character" in our new build. We insisted on using 4 antique 110-year-old porch posts, adding a cupola and weathervane vane to the metal garage roof and used other salvaged materials. George's crew made it all work like magic, without complaint or added labor cost. The total price of the garage was very reasonable also. I would not hesitate to hire Georges Construction again and again. This company is highly trustworthy, true artists, professional and the best in my book. I feel very lucky to have hired them. What a breath of fresh air!!!!!"

"To start out, I should point out that I have built a number of decks in my life; and have lived in California, Colorado, Florida, and here in Kentucky. I currently work in commercial construction, but know both residential and commercial building codes. I typically do all the work around my house; everything from fixing plumbing issues to rewiring electrical, and everything in between. I don’t like to hire contractors because they don’t call you back, disappear after payment, and generally don’t do the work to my standards. I will not, however, get up on the backside of our deck and move 6x6x20 beams to support a roof 35' in the air. So I went through the process of hiring someone I felt was qualified. Since I have the experience, I know how much a project of this magnitude should cost, and how long it should take. I called about 20 contractors around Louisville to get quotes for the work, and besides not getting calls back from a lot of contractors, or bids obviously too low or way too high, I lucked out and got a referral to K&L Home Improvement to build the deck. I found pictures of their work on Facebook, and looked at their current and previous projects to see what they can do, and the quality of their finished product. I then called Keevin Thomas, and had him come to the house and explained what I wanted him to do. I should point out I didn’t tell him my background, and didn’t tell him how to do the job. I only told him what I wanted it to look like. The same thing I told 20 other estimators/contractors before him. He definitely knew all the code requirements, and pointed out code compliance issues he would correct when he rebuilt the existing deck (my deck lacked joist hangers, stringers were undersized in one area) and issues he would solve when expanding the roof. He also came back for a second visit with his roofer/framer because he wanted to make sure he captured everything in his estimate before giving me a final quote. Trust me, this is a BIG plus, because I don’t want to find out half way through the work that you forgot to include gutters, or vinyl siding, or didn’t realize the roof trusses would have to be replaced and now my cost is going up to cover your mistake. He knew exactly what had to be done, and exactly how to do it. I received his quote, and while it wasn’t the cheapest, it was one of the more comprehensive and detailed estimates, explaining exactly what they would do, and how it would be accomplished. I accepted his quote, and he was able to get his guys to my house the following week to start the work, well exceeding my expectations in a busy construction market. What can I say about the workers; it’s COLD outside, but they still pulled off the existing deck and roof, efficiently built the new structure, sealed it up, and completed the work in about two weeks, just like I expected. The other thing I expected, and got, was a call or visit from Keevin each day to make sure everything was proceeding as expected. He walked me through the process of what his guys were going to be focusing on that day, asked if there was anything I needed/if I had any concerns, and brought any issues to my attention (like the shingles were a difficult match because of previous work on the roof in that area) I expect a good contractor to talk to and explain his plan before proceeding, even though they are the experts. At one point, we were having the roof torn off to replace, and I saw there was a major storm coming in a few days on the news. He had a plan in place to cover the house with a tarp days before, just in case, and promised the work would be completed before the rainstorm. He did, in fact, meet every promise he made on the project, including this one, and the roof was ready for a heavy downpour. The work went off without a hitch, and I couldn’t be happier with the result. I’m glad I met Keevin, and would call him again if we needed more work done on the house now or in the future. It’s nice to know there is a reputable, honorable contractor doing work in Louisville. I can’t say enough good things about the overall experience and the results. If you’ve hired contractors before, you know the stress involved with having someone tear up part of your existing home. Everything is finished and exceeds even MY expectations."

"The job met my expectations and was completed quickly. Plan on using Sons again on the next home improvement project."

"Juan Carracci and company did a great job with the demo of my old deck and building a new one. He was reliable and reasonably priced. My new deck looks great and the workmanship is top quality. I can highly recommend him."

Mike Rushing of Extreme Construction was very responsive and timely from the start. We have a large house with a slate roof. We had two other roofing companies come out--a local one here in Louisville and a regional one out of Ohio that specializes in Slate. The local company just wanted to replace the roof with a normal shingle roof, which would have taken away value from the house and been inconsistent with its stature. The regional company specializes in slate and wanted to repair the roof at a cost in excess of $50,000. Moreover, they indicated that very little of the damage would be covered by insurance and, therefore, indicated that no insurance claim would be warranted.

Mike with Extreme Construction was the only one who advised that the damage was caused by wind, ice, and hail damage and the only one to suggest that he be allowed to interface directly with the insurance company's adjuster. The process of dealing with the insurance company was handled on a very timely and competent basis by Mike.  He was terrific, and has continued to be terrific, in all respects--timeliness, professionalism, knowledge, and competency. Very easy to work with and works 7 days a week (it's his company). The interior work has been excellent. The actual roof work, as covered by the insurance, has been delayed due to snow and ice, but I'm sure that it will reflect the same excellence that Mike has shown with respect to the interior work. I will update this review when the roofing work is completed.

"I had the new system for over a year before I sold the home and it made a big difference in the unity bills. And will keep that in mind if I have to get a new system that my patio home if I have a problem with the heating and air."

"I ordered the deal. I called the company. The owner was very nice but very busy. He then sent a subcontractor who had only been working with him a few weeks to our house. He said the project would take met than 6 hours and left. We decided not to have someone we knew nothing about in our home plus spend alot more money. The owner said to get our money back. Thanks you."

"Quality workmanship and a focus on customer service."

"Todd was recommended by a friend of mine. I did not know him prior to. It took about 6-8 months to build due to the weather, but he built it in a timely manner. We love our house, very happy with it and have had no problems. He provides good customer service, he answered all my calls, if I had a concern he took care of it and I got a great deal at a great price. Now a year later, I know I cannot build this house for what I got it for. It is beautiful, it is definitely well above construction grade. He provided quality material, I have vaulted wood ceiling, I have real wood hardwood floors and the same type of wood on floor matches the ceiling. I know someone who built a home same time frame we did with a different contractor, same price but all different material. He got builders grade with linoleum Pergo floor, we got real wood flooring, he got siding and we got brick. We got exactly what we wanted out of it and for the right price. The wife and I are both very happy with the house and we would highly recommend him to others."
