General Remodeling, Interior Painting, Kitchen and Bath Remodeling,

About us

Design For Living Contracting is a privately owned company that is run primarily by owner Benjamin Maltzman. The employees of DFLC have been working together for a number of years, and have a healthy and close relationship with the owner. DFLC does not sub-contract jobs to any contractor, for we actually avoid sub-contracting at all costs. DFLC does "sub" out a small portion of its contracts to only two other companies, one of which is an active angle's list contractor with service awards since 2010, and the other who is backed by major companies like Lowes home improvement. Both companies have worked very closely with DFLC, and have provided only quality work in association with our company. DFLC accepts all cash, check, and money order payments. Specifics on billing details are stated in contracts, and are dependent upon job size, budget and deadline.

Ben and his team did an amazing job renovating both of our bathrooms. Very professional, stayed very close to timeline, easy to communicate with and kept us up to date throughout each project. We had a few contractors come out - his team was by far the best choice for us. Andrew was here essentially daily and made the experience as low stress as a reno could be. I highly recommend to anyone looking for a bathroom reno / remodel!

I am very happy with all the work completed by design for living. I completely renovated my kitchen, removed a wall, flooring throughout, replaced doors and some updates in the bathroom. The quality of the work was good and Ben and the crew were professional and very pleasant to work with.

Design for Living Contracting, top notch professionals! [*** Link removed ***] We contracted with Ben to do several jobs including: updating our family room with new tile floors, paint, gas fireplace, stonework, picture window, sliding doors, re-level pavers, rebuild a retainer wall, and a new front walkway. Ben coordinated all trades and kept everything on track. Everyone was great to work with and extremely professional. Thanks!

Ben and his crew are amazing. On time, every day as promised from start to finish. They are meticulous about the details, and their area is cleaned and contained at the end of every work day. They have remodeled most of my home - full painting, kitchen, bathroom - all good it excellent! Ben will connect you with vendors and is extremely knowledgeable about the best ways to accomplish your goals. Beautiful work!

Excellent! We wanted to prepare our house for sale, and by the time they finished, we didn’t want to leave! The place looked brand new. They have a great eye for design, and the quality of their work is top notch. We are using Design for Living to do some work in our new home.

Design for Living Contracting remodeled my old, tired kitchen and created a bright, modern space that exceeded my expectations. They provided excellent guidance on styles, and materials. The full project from demolition to finishing touches was completed ahead of schedule. All of the guys were respectful, pleasant and considerate. I appreciated their skill, attention to detail and overall quality of work. I would not hesitate to recommend them to others or hire them for another project in my home.

I hit the jackpot when I hired Design for Living!!! The company should be named 'Design For Living Well' The work performed exceeded all my expectations and then some. The end product looked like a million dollars! I found Ben and Andrew to be extremely professional; knowledgeable; reliable and with a fantastic eye for detail. They are perfectionists who delivered more than I could have asked for or even imagined. EJ and Victor are specialists in their own right and complimented Andrew and Ben. Truly a dream team! The company was very sensitive to the current pandemic and went out of their way to be careful and were fully respectful of my home. I would easily hire them 100 times over. They transformed my home. Love it!! Thank you very much!

I googled local contractors in the area and found Design for living. Ben and his team were professional, friendly and reliable. Playing google roulette for a contractor is scary and honestly I could not have found a better contractor than Design for Living. My Basement came out AMAZING and I have received endless compliments. . A true professional from A to Z that I’ll be recommending to all my family and friends.

Over a number of years I have contracted Design for Living for various improvements in my home. I have found them to be professional, punctual, knowledgeable and always polite. The work performed by Design for Living has been very, very satisfactory. Their work ethic was superior to other contractors I have used. I would have no hesitation in contracting them for future projects. I have recommended them 100% to my friends and family.

Design for Living did a great job. The owner, Ben Maltzman is a true professional. Ben was attentive to all of my requests and made good suggestions. Ben was always available when I needed to reach him. I have hired numerous other contractors over the years and have had issues with the majority of them (ex. they didn't show up when promised). Ben runs a tight ship. His crew always showed up on time and did a great job. His right-hand man, Andrew, is a perfectionist. Design for Living has premium standards at reasonable prices. I would definitely hire Design for Living for any future jobs.

Excellent company. Benjamin, the owner, has done work for our house. He renovated our bathroom completely. He needed to re-cement and did reconstruction. He helped us pick out materials. He customized our cabinets for us. The house was completely clean. The house was left spotless. He also did painting. We are going to have them come back to do more work for us. I would definitely recommend them.
