David was very prompt and professional when I asked him to bid on a light office remodel. He kept in touch and stayed in contact. I didn't end up using him due to an unforeseen family emergency, but he's the first one I would call again in the future. He seemed knowledgable and concerned with quality. He was honestly the only contractor I spoke to who wasn't flaky, and it's so rare to find someone responsive like him!
Description of Work: I asked David to come out to my office to offer an estimate on an office remodel.

They were outstanding. Not only did they bring an high level of quality to each element of the project but they were very easy to work with. * They stayed within budget and were always clear about ?the numbers? and how much were spending on each stage. * During several parts of the process we pivoted to a different design choice and Nest had no problem changing their approach and collaborating with us on an appropriate solution. * Even when they used subcontractors (paint, drywall, etc), they are always heavily involved and were always present! We never had to worry about a thing. We will be using them again on our next project.
Description of Work: Complete kitchen remodel and installation of a new powder room. Also helped to design and coordinate installation of a radiant floor system for the entire first floor of the home and individual heating units to each bedroom.

David and James obviously care about the people they are working with and the spaces they are creating for people to live in. They were both very professional, kind and quick to share in our vision. They discussed the possibilities with us in depth and took the time to understand the pragmatics of our remodel to determine what may fit best into our lifestyle. I would love to work with them in the future as they clearly have a passion for creating homes that suit their client's needs.
Description of Work: David and James came to estimate cost and discuss the possibilities of our basement remodel. Although we are unable to use their services today due to our budget, we hope to work with them in the future on our project.

David & James are fantastic to work with! Quick communication. Reliable. Great ideas but also open to feedback. Completely trustworthy working in your home - great for our busy family. Dog & kid friendly - if that is a concern. My 3 year old asks about them by name :) Have also been readily available for follow-up questions. Extremely dedicated!
Description of Work: Basement remodel to make guest suite. Repair of leaking upstairs shower. (This was an unplanned additional project that they were able to resolve for us!)

They only do general bids and work labor and materials only. No help for me as I was trying to decide if the project was worth the cost. No idea what it would cost with these guys. They seem like they really like the design part and might be good for someone without a definite plan.
Description of Work: Bid on front entry addition.

They were personable and professional. They made sure that they got it right. That's what made me choose them again. There was one minor mistake and they fixed that. There was no problem.

The experience was extremely positive, I'd really like to work with them. Their quote was outside of my current budget, but I'm going to look into some other options for working with them. They were very knowledgeable and very easy to work with. They knew their subjects but they also were very good about offering suggestions and input. They gave good ideas on things to think about when it came to making a decision.

Nest came in and did a magnificent job. They were professional and sensitive to my pocketbook. They pay attention to detail and cleaned up immaculately every day after work.They showed up every day on time and were responsive to questions. They also had an outstanding sense of design and functionality. I would hire them again if I ever needed to do work in and on my house!
Description of Work: We had a horrendous sewage line back-up in our downstairs bathroom. The bathroom had to be totally renovated...drywall, fixtures, plumbing, tile etc. They also painted much of the downstairs of our house and the upstairs interior as well.

David and James are awesome, I really trust these guys to do a great job, to get it done, and to make it beautiful.
Description of Work: We started by having NEST work on repairing our bathroom, then they transformed our 2-car garage into a spare room, then they repaired our front porch, did some electrical work, etc. In all, two words describe Nest design build: innovative & trustworthy Innovative: whether it’s creating a long-term vision for our living space (inside and out) or just mitigating rot on the front of our house, David and James are truly innovative. I’ll be honest, they may not be the fastest contractor out there but you can be assured that they do a thorough and careful job, and they also take the time to walk us through what they did and why. We've lived in two spaces that Nest Design Build has created, and both have been so comfortable in proportion and thoughtful in the details. David and James create spaces that are both functional and beautiful. Trustworthy: We know that when David and James work on a project, we don’t have to worry about the details. Not only do they do great work, but we really do trust these guys with the keys to our house, literally. We also trust them to work within our budget. It's unfortunate that our resources often don't allow for some of their biggest and best ideas, but they take on the challenge of creating solutions within our budget seriously.

How often do you hear people say "we like our contractors so much, we get together for dinner!"? To date, we have had three bathrooms, a full one bedroom apartment and a full door replacement done by James and David Coats of Nest DesignBuild and, when budget allows, will definitely have them do more work on our house. We also felt 100% comfortable with them having full access to our house and properties. Last year, we went through the harrowing process of gutting and fully remodeling two bathrooms and turning what was a large room containing the washer/dryer, a shower stall and a toilet in the corner into three amazing, unique bathrooms with vintage fittings and personality. Our house is very old, 1908, and has had many hands changing it's face. Nest was able to deal with all the lovely surprises (pipes leading nowhere, no subfloor where there should have been, etc...) with patience and great ideas. We were able to keep entact and highlight the great funkiness and period style of the house while making it functional and comfortable. Recently, we found out we needed to replace a door and jamb, we didn't hesitate to call them to do the job. We did have a bit from a door and window company that was going to be about the same price. We decided on Nest do the work because we knew that they would not only do a fabulous job but that we had such great experinences with them in the past. They listen to what we want and were very honest with the reality. We always felt that they did the very best job - never cut corners and we always very respectful of our wishes.

They really did transform that place. They were accommodating and worked around the schedule as I had a little one. They were collaborative and gave suggestions. It is a father and son practice.

Response from NEST design build
NEST design build remodeled this client's entire basement into a fully functioning 2 bedroom apartment with a separate entrance. Adding a new 6' window in an existing concrete wall, adding a second bedroom/office space, a new full kitchen with granite and a new luxury bathroom with travertine walk-in shower, double granite vanity and radiant underfloor heat - We wanted to correct the numbers. We think the client made a typo here - the cost of the work was actually $65,000, not $6,500. We will be posting pictures of this project on our blog (nestdesignbuild.wordpress.com) later this month - please feel free to check out the results! I think you will be impressed!
With Nest you are not just getting a contractor, you're getting design team. David and James helped us vision a much better, more elegant finished product than we thought possible given our limitations. They were punctual, straightforward, and really good listeners. David and James are incredibly detail oriented. For example, we bought basic tiles to save costs and they suggested hand-beveling the corners for a more finished look that fit our space exactly. The results were beautiful and well built. These guys bring an artist's sensibility to the work. They don't want anything to look stock. For example, James took great care to arrange the travertine tile so that the swirls created subtle and pleasant pattern. They were easy to talk to. They made sure they understood what we wanted before they went forward. It was a great collaboration.
Description of Work: Designed and built a master bedroom and bath which included a walk in closet, new subfloors and a cork flooring, new master bathroom with jacuzzi tub and custom tile work.
