Orfield Design & Construction Inc

Overall, the project went very well, We are happy with the quality of the work and the result. The plans were creative, and we were happy with the design selections and guidance. There were a few unexpected changes to layout due to structural constraints, which resulted in a less efficient flow. The cost of change orders were not clearly explained prior to execution. The contractor was very hands on and at the job site extensively, and she was easy to get a hold of. The carpenter was not available to work on the project on Fridays, which did extend the project timeline. The contractor pointed out repairs/improvements that needed to be made to bring the home up to code. This added cost, but was necessary and appreciated.

Excellent! We were so pleased to have chosen Orfield for our project. They were professional, kept us up to date, and worked with us to make sure we could move back in when we needed to. I would not hesitate to call Laura for our next project.

Very well. Laura is an experienced space designer and contractor who is creative, knowledgeable and fun. She, her staff and the craftspeople she arranges do great work. While she provides expert guidance, she also listens to the client’s ideas and incorporates, expands or improves them. She and her staff are attentive to details, which is especially appreciated by less experienced customers.

All went as expected and it looks great!

It went well but we were disappointed about difference between original quote and total payment at the end.

It went well.

Very well. Beautiful workmanship. Company very responsive to concerns and new ideas.

Very well!!

We hired Orfield Design to provide us with a set of plans for a basement remodeling project. We were very clear up front that this project would be done in phases and that we planned on doing as much of the work as possible ourselves. Initial meeting with Laura and Amy went well, they seemed excited about the project and to really "get" what we were looking for. At the time that our final set of plans was delivered, we were over all pleased with what we received. The plans cost $1200. I knew upfront that this is what they cost. Once the project began however, things changed. A few of the items on the final plan were incorrect (I-beams in wrong location, measurements off) and we wanted to make a few changes to the plan (stated clearly that a revision was included). I was told additional work was billed at $90 per hour, no changes were ever made. I had to beg and repeatedly call and email to have actual room dimensions added to my $1200 set of plans. Once the building got underway, even more issues were found. If we had built out the basement according to the plan, we would have doors under I-beams, resulting in 3 different door heights through out our space. Walls were drawn under major runs of duct work. The bathroom wall ended up being built almost a foot off from the plan. The bathroom design was very poorly thought out, access panels to shower plumbing was put in the bedroom side rather than the utility side of the basement. Our builder expressed quite a bit of frustration with the plans as they were drawn by Orfield. Poorly thought out door and wall placement, items that did not meet code and some of the planned walls were items that were impossible to even build. While Laura expressed enthusiasm over our design ideas, in the end she selected products and fixtures that were not at all what we would have considered using. She seems to have a very narrow view of what was "right" and not willing to stray beyond that vision. We spent $1200 on a set of plans that ended up being useless to us. Orfield seemed unwilling to alter or change our plans once it was clear we would not be using their services for construction. Perhaps if you plan on using them for the construction component of your project you will be more satisfied. I would not personally do business with this company again.

It was good but there's delay that came along the way it was like a two month project turned out into a four months project. More than we wanted to spend course you know we thought it would be more like twenty five thousand but materials and stuff they used to we're talking granite make brand new cabinets made by a cabinet maker, the granite made the floors did it himself and finished it, we wanted a nice kitchen.

Laura and Amy, the project manager and administrative manager were a dream to work with- friendly, competent, detail oriented and timely. Trent, the construction person, was equally amazing and possessed the same traits. Would highly recommend them to others.

The project design was outstanding.  Orfield thinks out of the box to provide cost-effective solutions.  The sub-contractors were
all competent, met their timelines and deadlines, and behaved in a professional manner while in our home.  Problems and other issues were attended to in a timely manner and resolved to our satisfaction.  This was a major remodeling project which went extremely well.  Each phase of the project happened on timeline we had been given at the beginning of the project.

Orfield came out and talked through a design with us. Ron came up with a
great option that we had not even considered for a screened-in porch.
Laura did all the work on getting the variance we needed from the city.
The work was completed on schedule. Orfield was very easy to work with,
very professional. All the contractors were also good.

Smooth, efficient, non-disruptive, skilled installer.
