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. Their work is top notch, as are their employees.

Everyone we worked with from start to finish was very professional. Kevin came to our home, and seemed to know exactly what we wanted. We didn t have to deal with our HOA, which was such a blessing!! Scott, our project manager, was here everyday. He made sure we were completely satisfied with all the work. All the employees did a top notch job, and we had our patio enclosure in a little more than a week. I would highly recommend Distinctive Designs!

When I submitted my sunroom addition project on HomeAdvisor, I received a list of potential contractors in the Louisville area. After reviewing them on their own websites, BBB, and Angieâ s List, I narrowed the list to three to bid on the project. Of these, Distinctive Design Remodeling (DDR) stood out for a couple of reasons. First, their representative Kevin Kelley was quick to point out a big flaw in my amateur design, and he suggested a major improvement to the roof structure. This change was not only more structurally sound, but it also eliminated the need for steps down into the room and allowed for smoother access from the main part of the house. The other candidates were willing to work with my design as drawn, even after acknowledging that a roof of that size would be a problem. Second, Kevin gave me a firm price on the spot. Another builder got back to me ten days later with an estimate, not a definite price, which he wanted me to sign. The third wanted each subcontractor to come into my home and submit their individual estimates, and he also required that I pay about $500 upfront for a design drawing before he would submit a bid, whether I went with that company or not. DDR won my confidence and my contract. DDR is the only remodeler in the local industry that does not use subcontractors. This meant that once my project was on their schedule, the work flowed smoothly with little downtime. The 514â square foot addition was completed in five weeks, even counting at least a week for rain delays. There was no lost time due to a craft having to complete a different project before they could get to mine. The tradespeople were professional, courteous, and efficient. As each group finished their part, they cleaned up after themselves. On the last day the cleanup crew removed all debris and even used a metal detector in my yard to make sure no nails were left in the grass. I have no complaints about the quality of the work. The few minor issues that arose were fixed quickly. The quality of workmanship is excellent, and I am now the proud owner of a lovely new sunroom, which blends in beautifully with the original structure. I would recommend DDR to anyone who is interested in adding on to their home.

We had a great experience with DDR. They live up to their positive reviews. Kevin was very cordial while helping us in the design phase. Chris, the project manager, ran the project smoothly and efficiently. He provided excellent communication during all phases of the project. All of the skilled trades workers demonstrated quality workmanship with professionalism. We are very pleased with our kitchen expansion and covered deck. We recommend DDR to anyone looking to remodel their home.

I found out about DDR from reading the reviews. I called and a meeting scheduled with them to discuss my plans of finishing our basement. They worked out the plans and got back to me with a quote. The work they performed was great, fast and high quality. Every person who came into our house was professional, polite, hardworking and helpful! I was most surprised at the time frame to completion! We started in September and by middle of November it was done! They don't play around. The managers all had good communication and updates during the construction process as well. Great job DDR and thank you for a great basement!

Communication was horrible, I would get 24 hrs of notice that something needed to be on the job site. I financed the job and they made me sign off on completion so they could get paid by the end of a month. I did thinking there wasn't much left to do so I wanted to be a nice guy. Technically a year later and the job still hasn't had final inspection. The did the bare minimum to be acceptable. Never went above and beyond. I would look high and low before hiring Jon and his team

They do pretty good work in a timely manner. Went behind them and turned up some of their work but I am a perfectionist. I am happy with the outcome and would recommend them to others.

From our first meeting, everything promised was delivered...timing, product, experts. Each step of the way was seamless. Our old deck had to be demoed and there was a still-active swallows nest attached. Those babies were close to leaving, but not out yet. The demo team actually took that deck down around the nest! So caring, so perfect. The end result, a new deck with screen room, is beautifully executed, totally functional, and a delight to use. We highly recommend DDR. Thanks so much for your wonderful work ethic!

As with all major construction and remodeling projects, every homeowners should always anticipated some unexpected surprises or delays that can occur, but good and timely communication always helps to overcome those challenges; both large and small. DDR's Sr. Project Manager, Chris Thomas was extremely thorough in all his communications with us. As such our expectations were always met. Separately, each one of the subcontractor crews were friendly, efficient, and thorough. Whenever they were onsite, the work effort was continuous and effective. Our project was the addition of an all-season 10 x 14 sunroom with vaulted ceiling off the kitchen. DDR was not the least expensive contractor, but we determined them to be the most professional and reliable to do the work. They did not disappoint. We would highly recommend DDR as a remodeling contractor, and we would use them again.

My build was an uninsulated 26 X 28 garage with roof pitch 7-12 tall enough to have some attic /loft space. The interior was unfinished. I already had a concrete foundation and footers poured separately because I initially planned to erect a large metal garage on it. Cost of the concrete pour was nearly $10,000. Cost of the garage was $40,000, a bit pricey but the convenience of using this company to coordinate permits, inspections, having contractors at the right time etc. was worth the added cost. Frankly, I called a few other companies who specialize in garage builds and none showed up to give me an estimate. From start to finish, Distinctive Design & Remodeling (DDR) was a pleasure to work with. Kevin Kelly came to the house and was an expert at putting together a plan that I was comfortable with. As a longtime handyman, I pretty much knew what I wanted, but Kevin went through much more detail about features I had not thought about. It was pretty obvious they had it all together. From there, I worked with Chris Thomas who was the project manager. Chris was awesome to work with. We communicated almost daily and he visited the site at every step of the construction. Some minor issues I noted along the way were corrected immediately but they were few and far between. I canâ t say enough good things about Chris. He was awesome. The crews they had were also great from the guys who dug the ditch for running power to the garage, to the framers, roofers, and siding guys. (Thanks to Fernando, Shannon, and Oscar). All in all, Iâ m very pleased with the work. Having had the experience of pouring the concrete, I was aware of the amount of disturbance that would occur to the existing landscape. One thing I would mention to anyone who undertakes a large project like this is to be aware of the fact that your landscape will be disturbed a great deal from the concrete pour and ditch to run power to a detached building. These guys are not landscapers. Your property will be put back into general/rough order but the details are left to the homeowner. For example, I had tons of dirt to disperse on my own, which I needed anyway in parts of my property, and I was lucky to have a small tractor with front loader. Moving all that dirt from the concrete pour by hand would have been a real chore. This is not a criticism of DDR. Itâ s just a fact of large projects. But they do clean up all construction materials and scraps very well. I would hire this company again and might looking into a basement remodel down the road.
