B & B DESIGN BUILD LLC

They did a good job. The work things were good. They did it in a timely manner and they cleaned up after themselves. Everything they said they did, they did.

My wife and I had a good size project to expand our deck. I was a professional carpenter years ago and wanted to do this job myself on the weekends...but finally gave out and hired someone else due to the fact that I had no free time. Needless to say I'm a stickler for quality and appreciate the finer aspects of carpentry. Matt Brainerd exceeded expectations and then some. His initial friendly enthusiasm when he was bidding the job was one of the reasons I hired him in the first place. He instantly had ideas\suggestions that he shared and it was immediately obvious to me that this guy was passionate about his work. His price was reasonable and his materials bid list was suprisingly detailed.
His skill as a carpenter is matched only by his integrity on the job. Matt won't just measure and cut. He will measure, cut, sand, smooth, router...by the time he's done, a deck with new wood looks like a deck with new wood that might be a candidate for and quot;better homes and gardens.and quot; No, I'm not exaggerating.
I just can't imagine that there are very many builders out there like Matt Brainerd. I feel fortunate to have found him. If I should ever have need of a carpenter again, I would go straight to him and no one else. This guy is good.

It went perfectly, he had a lot of great design ideas. He built efficiently and the quality is outstanding. The wood has held up perfectly.

Matt was recommended to us by a master craftsman with very high standards and Matt lived up to every bit of those standards. He listened very intently to our ideas, offered his ideas on the design, then drew up the plans for it. It was a very collaborative effort and over two iterations we came to a final design that was perfect.

Matt was a pleasure to work with and thoroughly enjoys creating a masterpiece that will withstand the test of elements and time. He puts a lot of thought into each cut and prides himself on his precision. He offered many good suggestions on the design and materials but always sought our approval before making any decisions that would impact either the look or the cost of the finished product. We ended up taking most of his suggestions because it was evident that he truly wanted the best result for us.

We have already had a handful of people ask us who built our haven by the pool and we proudly tell them, Matt Brainard. We will definitely have him back again for other projects.

They were decent so there were no complaints. They could have touched up better after they were done.

These guys are sticklers for doing the job right. Matt gave me an estimate on removing the affected concrete. When that was removed they realized that the remaining concrete was too thin and a larger section needed to be replaced. I believe he tried to keep the additional cost as low as possible. Matt also noticed a place where my deck sagged, and offered a good price to repair it. It looks great. They found too much gravel under the original concrete, unevenly spread. They took some of the rock and spread it over my driveway. The whole job took several days, time for concrete to set and then for sealer to dry. They were very polite and professional, and willing to explain to me what needed to be done, and offered me options for how it would be done. I plan to use B and B for my next job.

We were impressed with Matt's professionalism and experience from the beginning. On the day we awarded the contract, we knew he was the right contractor for our job. His ideas and suggestions made the job go quicker and ultimately saved us money. He consistently delivered more than he promised. His craftsmanship and attention to detail made the finished room better and more beautiful than it was originally.

Matt did a great job - so good that it looks like it has always been there. The kitchen has a bay window with a couple of odd inside and outside angles that he got just right and also an arch that was too high to fit the molding all the way across so he had to finesse it to fit. A stair landing coming into another room we had done also had an odd area that he finished well. (Pictures attached). In order to do the hallway, he had to take off one section of molding in the foyer that had just ended at the outside corner with the hall. We almost decided not to do it since we couldn't find molding that matched perfectly. He told us he could do it so it wouldn't show and he was right. He noticed two cracks in our drywall, one near where he was working and one that was not. He offered to fix them for us and did so without adding any cost . We had patched both of these areas before only to have them reappear because they needed the drywall cut out and repair done that we were not able to do - great added value. He cleaned up all the mess and finished when he said he would, which was important as we were having company on the evening of that last day of work. Matt is pleasant and easy to work with. We know him from church and were involved in a more extensive project he did at our son's home so we felt confident hiring him for this job and the outcome proved us right.

They charged us $700 for the work. They are very responsive and do very good. We will use them again in the future.

The owner first came by to access the project. The company does have a structural engineer that was consulted. Since my husband and I were not afraid to do some of the work ourselves, the company actually told us things we could do to save money (i.e.-demo certain things ourselves before they came in to do the structural part.) Since our home is a ranch, the attic area was accessible over the area with the removed load bearing wall. A beam and support system was added to the attic space. It only took a day. They were very friendly and explained everything that was done.

Wife's parents retiring in the area. Looked for housing but decided to add on a handicap accessible 'apartment' to our current home. Used a local architect (DAAD) to design, then bid the job to a couple contractors. Levi and Matt had just begun B and B Design Build and we knew them both through church. This was a big job for their first major collaboration, and they nailed it. The project was 1500 sq ft, with a basement garage beneath. It joins seamlessly with the main house, as the design, window style, even the brick was matched very well. We found Matt, Levi and their crew to be responsive, professional, friendly, hardworking and we've been very satisfied. Even 2+ years later, they will still come out to check something if we have a problem.

I would recommend B and B Design to anyone needing construction on their home. They are honest, hard-working, and take great pride in their work. They are very hands on contractors that were at the job site before 8am everyday (with exception to rain) and montored the entire process. Someone from B and B was always on site to make sure out sourced jobs were done correctly. Very professional and detailed.

I cannot say enough good things about these fellows and their work. Their knowledge of older homes, the structure and what is common for the style and period of the home is astounding. They were always full of helpful suggestions for ways to enhance the project outcome, even when it was something that we were doing ourselves that they were not getting paid for. They were always on time, very polite, and professional. The only thing that I would say in anyway negatively is the price was very high, but I would still use them again for a project like this. When you are adding on to your home, you want someone that knows what they are doing! We had one incident where one of the sub contractors did not do his job well and caused a leak in the roof, which in turn did some damage to the existing part of the house. Band B came out on Sunday, fixed the leak, and made all of the necessary repairs at their expense! I give them an A++ and would very highly recommend them to everyone in this area!

We met with them several times to come up with the design and they were very patient whenever we made modifications. The entire project was finished in the estimated time frame of about 3 months and was on budget (amazing for many contractors!). They were so friendly when our young sons wanted to come down and see the work being done all the time. We were very happy and will continue to use them for large or small projects at our house.
