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 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

My wife and I wanted to build a sunroom on the back of our house. Distinctive Designs & Remodeling came out and listened to what we had in mind. They were able to present us with our options at a price that was within our budget. They began this project in mid-August and was completed by the first of October. This room turned out to be exactly what we had hoped. It is a room that we will use for years to come. Thank you, Jon, Kyle, and all of the workers that made our dream a reality. You guys are AWESOME! Seth & Amy Curti

In short, it went great! We were impressed by the number and quality of skilled professionals and the coordination among them. Once the construction started, they were able to finish the project in a month as they had estimated, in spite of many days of rain. The crew members showed up whenever they said, put in long hours, and were professional in all their dealings with us. It was clear how the crew members took pride in their work and how attentive they were to the details. Their coordination of work from delivery of materials, laying the foundation, framing the room, building the deck, and clean up was all we could have hoped for. They were flexible in working with us on the design and even went beyond what we agreed on in the original plans. Our new and beautiful room and deck actually exceed our expectations in the quality and soundness of construction and design. We are thrilled with the final product and would not hesitate to use DDR for future projects

Fantastic!!! This team is top-notch! We had already talked to four other "builders", but Kevin was the only one who really listened to what we were wanting - and then developed a plan that met our expectations. I felt like everyone else was trying to sell us a "package". Chris was our project manager - he did a awesome job! We emailed almost every day, he kept me informed on what was going on and the next steps - it wasn't me bugging him for info. Everyone we met did a great job. I will work with them again! (I felt like part of the team for our project.) And, they were the best price - BONUS!!! No surprise cost overruns either. This was our third major building project, but the first time I've felt good about the results (two others were different companies). If you want to see the results, call DDR and have them send me your number and we can set up a visit

From the day we met with Kevin Kelly of Distinctive Design Remodeling until the day the job was finished, I have been impressed with every person who has worked on our patio cover. On the day the demo took place, the company was there to haul off the broken brick and like clock work afterwards the trash was removed. The framers, the roofers, the aluminum installers, the electricians, the finishers, the mason and especially the project managers are all first-rate craftsmen and really nice people. Distinctive Design Remodeling will be the first company that I call when I need work done in the future. I would also advise anyone thinking of remodeling to call them. Call them first because you won’t be disappointed as I also feel the price was very reasonable

Overall, great. There were some communication issues, more specifically times where our Project Manager wasn't aware of when their sub crews were scheduled to work on our project. That being said, he was terrific overall, providing good customer service and giving us a beautiful room!

"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.

"The owner, Josh, was very professional and listened to all of my requests and paid such close attention to the small details! I was super impressed with his workmanship.

"We are extremely pleased with our recent remodeling.

"They completed their work as far as the construction of the house. The cost of the house was $83 per square foot. It took them 11 months and 15 days to complete the work which was during the covid pandemic. They also offered to pay for the invoice for the design plan to my house. The reason for the B rating is for the following reasons: I've got a couple of things that my house is still waiting to be fixed including plumbing to the shower and window shutters to be installed. The internet wire that runs to my living room is hidden as it is inside the insulation. We initially agreed on a price for a double sink vanity, but through confusion on their part, I got a single sink vanity. I did not want to make a bigger deal out of things so I settled with one of their remedies which was to add an extension to the vanity for an additional cost of just material. Initially when they poured the driveway, it was not poured correctly. I brought it to his attention and he asked me what I suggested he should do. I asked him if he could redo it and he laughed and said he can't do that. 3 weeks after I moved in to the house, the cracks that were already there got longer and another spot started to crumble. Only after he saw that, he then told me he would fix it. Magnus Home Builders accused my family saying that we sabotage the air conditioning system. They waited until I moved in to tell me they had changed the size of my laundry room. They reimbursed me with credit for my laundry washer.

"Although I specified quartz, I was mistakenly offered an icestone remnant which required a second trip to the store to correct. A minor inconvenience and delay. We did find a suitable quartz remnant and it was installed two weeks later. The install crew was great and the finished product fit perfectly. I do think the overall price was a bit high for a 36"remnant/backsplash. Did not have time to comparison shop.
