Distinctive Design Remodeling

Eain with DDR has been exceptional through the entire process of building my addition. He kept me informed with timing of things that would occur for the project. He would text me frequently or come by in person when I was at home to provide details. He took time to make sure that I was happy with how the project was coming along and that everything that I wanted done with the project was completed to my satisfaction. Also, the project was completed very quickly with minor delays that can be expected with an addition. I would use them again and recommend Eain and DDR for any addition project.

The Distinctive Design team has been outstanding from the start. The member who came to look at our basement and give us a proposal was by far the most credible person to come out. Once we accepted the proposal the team immediately began planning and were on sight within a week. Each of the different teams (framing, electrical, plumbing, drywall, and trim) were respectful of our home (including loving on our dogs) and worked long, hard hours to make sure that the job was done right. Our main point of contact throughout was Jordan who kept us up on each phase of product delivery and made sure we had everything needed to keep the project moving. Distinctive Design wasn't the cheapest bid we received, but as the old adage goes, "You get what you pay for." We are very satisfied with the end product and look forward to showing off our new, finished basement. We would definitely recommend them to friends and neighbors.

Very happy with Distinctive Design’s construction of a screened patio enclosure on our existing concrete pad. The entire process went smoothly from Sales, Kevin, to design, Jesse with the CAD drawings, and everyone else at DDR’s main office. They made sure everything was planned well and adhered to building codes. They also were very good about assisting with getting approval from our homeowner’s association so we didn’t have submit any paperwork. Eain was our construction project manager. Eain did a great job communicating and making sure everything was done properly. Anytime I had a concern he responded quickly and addressed any questions regarding the project. Many thanks to Eain and DDR’s construction crews to stay on schedule, use good materials, did skilled work and was done without any major delays. We would be happy to use Distinctive Design Remodeling on future projects and will be recommending to friends and family.

Would have given a 5 star except there were delays at the end of the project. However, the Project Manager (Eain) was fantastic and not the reason for the delays. He made sure everything was quality and kept me informed immediately. I will use DDR again especially if Eain is my Project Manager.

From our first interaction with DDR at the Home & Garden Show this past April, we have enjoyed a very professional and pleasant experience with this company. Pat, our initial contact, worked with us to come up with a plan for our new sunroom addition, and Jesse was very patient as we designed and tweaked it. Both were forthcoming and worked diligently to give us a quality room addition while staying within our budget. The construction of our sunroom was managed by Kyle. We can’t say enough good things about our project manager! We appreciate his kindness and he’s just great at what he does! The communication between us could not have worked any better. We knew every week what to expect and were informed promptly if there were any changes. At one point we had a delay by the manufacturer in shipment of our windows. Kyle was right on top of that. He was honest about the delay and kept other aspects of the job moving as much as possible. In addition, he was very hands on during the entire process—many times we saw him interacting with the subcontractors to ensure there was no misunderstanding and that we received quality work. The subcontractors that DDR used did a great job. It was a pleasant surprise to get phone calls from the subs the day before to let us know they would be here. We received quality workmanship, all within a reasonable timeline. This is very rare and much appreciated! The entire process made us feel engaged and part of a team effort--not only did we want the project to be successful, but so did everyone else involved. That kind of work environment makes the project a pleasant experience. Congratulations to DDR and Kyle for exceeding our expectations. We enthusiastically recommend DDR to others! They have a great management team, prompt and skillful subcontractors, and a great business plan that would facilitate any remodeling or renovation. Thanks to DDR, and to Kyle, we have a beautiful sunroom that we will enjoy for many years!

The communication from the Project Manager, Eian, started before the project began, which strengthened my confidence my porch would be completed in a timely manner. At each phase of the project, Eian was there to assist the workers and was always forthcoming with information regarding the next phase via email or in person. Everyone was always friendly and helpful with my questions. The craftsmanship, talent, and teamwork of this group of individuals was wonderful and I'm very pleased with the final product as I can utilize this beautiful screen enclosed porch all year round.

DDR was professional and did an excellent job with building a roof over my patio. Eain, our project manager, was a delight to work with. Excellent service all around.

The weather caused delays at the start, but they recovered well and completed the project relatively on time

I used DDR to have a patio added to the back of my house. The whole process was extremely streamlined and required very little interaction on my part. To start the project, Jesse came out to talk about my ideas and what DDR could feasibly do. He ended up pitching a few of his own ideas to me which I ended up going with and am super pleased that I did based on the finished product. When the project started, my project manager, Kyle, was extremely easy to work with and was always professional and courteous whenever I would call him with any questions or concerns. The teams that DDR uses (framers, roofers, concrete crew, etc.) all did extremely good work and got their work done at an impressive rate. A stand out from the DDR contractors is their electrician, Jason Sanders. Jason and his crew wired up two outlets, a fan, and a flood light for the patio after helping me figure out the best way to wire everything to do what I wanted. I was expecting them to have to cut a lot of drywall to be able to run the wires, but they were able to run the wires without damaging any drywall and were able to get everything wired exactly the way I wanted it. Overall I am extremely pleased with the build quality of my new patio and the experience that I have had with the DDR team.

I am very pleased with my roof/covered patio addition. The work was quality, and the workers were professional. I'd highly recommend DDR for any home construction project!

As always DDR was on time, on budget and extremely responsive to any questions or concerns. The sunroom turned out better than expected!

This was the 2nd time we contracted with DDR. While I did not deal with them the first time, I had a great experience this time. Chris Thomas, the Project Manager, was very professional, responsive and informative. He provided all the details and gave me the news as he received it - good or bad. He visited the site (the house) as much as he could. He provided detailed emails and updates; statuses on crew, equipment and delivery and was very patient in answering every single question I had (which were many) - all the time! Apart from being professional, he also always took care of his crew, which, I thought, was very nice. He is a very hard worker and a great asset to DDR. We took a lot of estimates and met with a lot of contractors but we certainly can say, DDR kept up to their word and their work. I will certainly hire DDR for me next project.

Took longer than expected due to weather. Finished product looks nice.

It went very well, and so quick! The work was done efficiently and turned out better than I imagined. Every person we encountered was capable, talented, and I am so happy with the turn out!

From the time we met with Kevin for the initial consultation and walk through, to each interaction with each of the teams was nothing but exceptional. We had a section of unfinished area of our basement and chose DDR to do the work. Not only were they fast, but very high quality work. Not many times do those go hand in hand, but their teams are very talented. Though they subcontract, those teams who did the electrical and trim were fantastic as well. I highly recommend them and would use them if needed again.

Job was quick and professionally done.

It was nice to work with a contractor that was so versatile rather than dealing with multiple contractors.

Excellent, prompt, and completed in less than 4 weeks!

We had DDR add a covered porch on the back of our home. They handled all the details - things like permits and HOA permissions. Our project manager, Kyle, always made sure we knew what was going on and when people would be at the house working. Their workers were professional and courteous. Their team started our project quickly and got the work done in a few weeks, despite bad weather. They made sure siding, gutters and shingles all matched the existing materials. It looks seamless! Kyle was quick to address any concerns or issues we had with our project. He was eager to make sure we were happy with the final result. I’d recommend them to anyone.

Instead of replacing our 15 year old deck, we decided to add a sunroom. Found DDR through the “Lexington” SubReddit and couldn’t be happier with the result. Here’s the quick breakdown of the process we went through (as far as I can tell, this is the typical flow of things): QUOTE/CONSULT: Submitted request for a quote on their website, was contacted next day by their office and scheduled a quote later that week. I should point out that they were very accommodating with this appointment—the gentleman (Mr. Painter if I recall) agreed to arrive around 5:30pm and stayed until 7:30pm. He took some measurements, and we discussed the details (size, design elements) of we were looking for. It was really helpful to look at all the pictures of other DDR projects that he had with him. He drew up the contract that evening and told us they’d love to do it if we wanted to move forward. We secured financing through our bank (instead of one of their lenders), so we asked for some time to get that set up, and they said no problem. DESIGNS AND PAPERWORK: One huge advantage of working with DDR was that they dealt directly with our HOA and the city inspectors. The DDR staff navigated those treacherous waters quickly and efficiently—other folks in our neighborhood decided to build an addition themselves and it took almost a year to get all the plans approved by HOA. Really glad we didn’t have to deal with that kind of headache. COMMUNICATION: Can’t stress enough how much the project managers communicate with you. We had Kyle as our PM and he was awesome! Before the project began, he called me up and we chatted for an hour about how the project would flow, expectations/timelines, etc… Given that everyone in the construction/remodeling business was dealing with material shortages, it was great to discuss the possible challenges of this project up front. In the end we were fortunate to have very little delay (had to wait on windows but wasn’t more than a few days). CLEARING OLD DECK: The tear down crew was very efficient and had the deck torn down and removed (with help from clean-up crew) in about a day and a half. CONSTRUCTION OF SUNROOM: The construction process is a bit of a blur—it all happened so fast! The framing of the room was done in what seemed like a day or two, and from there it was a matter of getting electricians in to wire the room and install PTAC unit, get the insulation poured and drywall put up, and then finally the windows and door installed. We chose a beadboard ceiling and they installed it perfectly. Start to finish was in the predicted range of 8-10 weeks (had to wait a few days for windows to show up). Was the crew at our house every day? No, but each day I got an email from Kyle at 7am saying “Hey, we will/will not be at your place today”, which was a nice heads up. MISCELLANEOUS: had a small landing porch and stairs built off of sunroom—DDR used screws instead of nails, which means we don’t have to worry about nail heads popping up in a few years (this was a major problem with the old deck); even though DDR doesn’t install flooring or paint additions, Kyle was kind enough to send me a list of pros he’s worked with before and someone off that list painted the new room for us; in terms of price, every addition will be different, but we priced several companies for this job and DDR was definitely the best offer because they had a solid reputation AND they were local (we didn’t want a national company who just gave everything to subcontractors). OVERALL IMPRESSION: this was our first home addition, and we couldn’t be happier with the final product. It looks great from the inside and the outside! We just had some family visiting from out of town and they spent almost the entire weekend in the sunroom because it is so nice. Final product was a 12x18 sunroom with side deck, landing, and stairs.

We found DDR on Angi's List. We are very happy that we chose them for our basement project. They were reasonably priced, professional and very responsive to questions and concerns. Most importantly, the basement turned out great! The project manager Mike and his crew made sure everything was built to our satisfaction. He came up with a creative and stylish solution to address our low hanging duct work. All of the tradespeople involved (electricians, plumber, trim) did top notch work. Our primary contact Jon stayed in communication with us throughout the project. We had a really positive experience. We would highly recommend DDR for basement finishing projects.

Love my new sunroom ! Chris and his crew are extremely easy to work with. They are very knowledgeable and skilled in the design and building process. Chris kept us informed and updated through out the building process. We would definitely recommend and use Distinctive Design Remodeling again.

We hired DDR to add a hip roof to our patio, Everyone was professional and great. Kyle always let us know when someone would be here to work and they always showed up on time, Kyle was quick to resolve and fix any issues with solutions and sometimes he did it himself we were very happy working with Kyle We would definitely hire these guys for another project and I would definitely request for Kyle to be my project manager.

Distinctive Design was the right choice for our room addition. Friendly professional staff. They handle all aspects of the build from securing permits, materials delivered, job site clean up, and yard restoration etc. The project manager was always in contact with me letting me know when each phase of the project was next. He was quick to resolve any issues and ensured that we were satisfied. Our project was completed weeks ahead of schedule. Would use again for future projects.

DDR is a great company to work with - Very professional , great quality, very responsive.
