Berry Built & Design Inc

We are very pleased with our new kitchen. It is beautiful and we are very happy that we chose Berry Built and Design. They paid attention to detail and delivered us an exceptional kitchen remodel. The cabinets, counter tops, and back splash are beautiful. They had several design suggestions we incorporated. They worked with us on our budget.

My wife and I had been talking about updating our kitchen for some time and contacted several different companies before contacting Berry Built and Design. All of the companies we talked with asked us what we wanted to do, and then told us how much it would cost. Matt and Sara Berry of Berry Built and Design were the only ones who had the vision to show us what we could do, not only with the kitchen but also how an open concept could include the dining and living room also. Once we saw their vision for what our kitchen could become we were sold. There was no pressure to make up our mind, in fact we even waited a year before we had it done. 

Once we decided to have Berry Built and Design do the job things moved along very quickly. There were workers at our home every day, and we were always kept informed of what to expect. The workmen who did the work could not have been more pleasant and professional, and always cleaned up before leaving for the day.  

As with any project of this size, things were bound to come up that were not anticipated and Matt or Jerry from Berry Built were always able to explain what the problems were, and always had a solution to those problems. 

We never realized all the choices that needed to be made for this remodel, from picking out floor color, to what kind of sink to get , what kind of faucet, what colors to paint the walls, ceiling, and trim, what type of counter top and what color etc. It could have been overwhelming if it weren’t for Sara and Manda at Berry Build. They were always available to offer suggestions, send over samples, and let us know based on there expertise what would go together from a design point of view. 

I can’t say enough about the quality of work done by the professionals who work for and with Berry Built and Design, and it is a comfort to know that if problems were to come up in the future that we have one point of contact for whatever might need to be taken care of. 

We are enjoying our remodeled home with all the new updated conveniences and have received nothing but  great comments from friends and family when they see the work done by Berry Built and Design.

We are very please with our decision to use Berry Built and Design and would not hesitate for a second to recommend them to others..

The Berry Built team was professional from the beginning. Our remodel involved replacing the existing shower areas with tile, new fixtures, updating the toilet, vanity area and flooring. The master bath was redone with safety in mind for my husband. The designer, Manda, was very helpful in providing guidance for the finishes. The work itself was done with efficiency and expertise. They were always mindful of keeping the work areas clean minimizing construction clutter and cleaned up daily. Jerry is a considerate man, all the subs were great and we appreciated their kindness. They didn't even mind the dogs.We will be relocating out of state this summer and are doing some remodeling in our new home. I wish that we could have this team do the work because I know it would be done well.

After a ?c-?experience with a prior home remodel, I searched
for over a year and interviewed many contractors before embarking on a kitchen
remodel. I chose Berry based on both Angie?s List and House reviews.
I have a separate review for the design service that has before/after photos.
Overall, working with Berry was an excellent experience.
Initially, we hired the design team to do our kitchen design.
Every detail was worked out, down to the last light switch and door
knob. The design team is phenomenal in every way: good listeners, objective
input, and understanding our lifestyle, budget, and needs. Once the plan was
done we felt very comfortable with the Berry Co. and hired them for the job.
The job was on schedule and went according to plan. Matt is
excellent at planning and scheduling. There was never any down time or days
when no one showed up. The team of workmen is very professional, polite, clean,
extremely talented, and friendly. We both work at home and the crew was very
respectful of that. 
The things that stood out for us were the professionalism,
communication, and attention to detail. There was no looking at things after
the workers have left for the day and knowing you are going to have to ask to
have it redone. Berry Build strives to do things right the first time, and it
really shows. We feel we may have paid a little more for Berry Built than other contractors, but it was worth every penny to not have any concerns about any aspect of the job.
I absolutely recommend Matt and his team for
either design work or any remodels.

I spent almost a year interviewing contractors for this kitchen job as we had  a "C" experience with the contractor who did an addition for us. I found Berry Built and Design (BBD) listed with excellent reviews on both Angie's List and Houzz, and decided to interview them. I was immediately impressed with BBD's professionalism and overall presentation.
Design Service:
First I hired the designers to do my kitchen design. I had spent too much time on the internet, with graph paper, at Box stores and was feeling overwhelmed and like I was missing something. I met a KBD (Kitchen Bath Designer) from another city on vacation who convinced us to hire a design firm. So we hired the Berry team for design first and never ever regretted it. It was money  very well spent.  
Matt and Manda came to the house, took photos and laser measurements, and chatted with us about what we loved/hated and wanted. Then the team presented us with three options for updating and improving the function of our 1979 soffited kitchen. We picked one option right away, and then spent quite some time working out the details. I loved the objective input on function.  I found them to be very good listeners and very attentive to our needs and style, even when I brought in comments from my husband second hand.
 
I was encouraged to find and share ideas on Houzz which worked really well for collection, discussing, using and or discarding
ideas.  Manda and Sara showed a great understanding of our style right off the bat.  I really appreciated the guidance in color, material and finish selection.  When I was unsure of which finish to choose, the guidance provided was always appropriate.  The team had a great attention to detail ? my cookbooks were measured and a space was found for them; and special space was found for a requested unique pull out. Their understanding of how to best use space is phenomenal. I was presented with a final set of plans with every finish, knob, appliance and fitting decided upon and ready to go, for any builder.
 
In the end, I have a kitchen that is amazingly beautiful and incredibly functional. Everyone wants to know what walls were moved, and the answer is, ?none? .With the guidance of the Berry Built design team, my ?79 builder-grade, dysfunctional kitchen has been transformed into a beautiful space that gives me joy to work in every day.
I would highly recommend this company for kitchen design.

What a wonderful experience.  The Berrys were worth waiting for.  I contacted Matt & Sara shortly after purchasing my 1950s rancher.  Matt was very upfront about their busy schedule.  However, after meeting with them, I decided to wait for them.  My desire was to do the kitchen and bath remodel while maintaining the essence of the 50s. Sara and Manda listened to my desires and did a wonderful design for me.  They were spot-on with their recommendations of materials as well.  The Berrys believe that a thoughtful, thorough design phase leads to a smoother build phase.  The theory was born out on this project.   At the start of the work, they provided me with a schedule which only had very minor slippage in it.  To stay on schedule, someone was at the house working every weekday.until completion.  Jerry, the project manager, did a daily check-in at the house and did a great job of communicating with me about what would be happening when.  Since I continued to live in the home for much of the renovation, everyone was very polite and accommodating.  They were fabulous with my dog, making sure doors were closed so that she didn't seek out.  And, when she did a couple of times, they even chased her and carried her home.  When we neared completion, I was pleasantly surprised to find many things in the design which had not crossed my mind to consider during the design phase, such as beautiful cabinetry with unique hinges. 

Was it an expensive project?  Yes, but the quality that was provided will last for many years to come.  My home still feels like it was built in the 1950s, but has all the convenience and openness of today.  It is without hesitation that I recommend the Berrys.

Matt and Sara Berry have a complete kitchen and bath remodel service. They provide design, and construction services.

The workmen they employ are amazing. The removal of lath and plaster from a house built in 1909 is an extremely dirty job and their clean up was excellent. Everyone they employed seemed to really enjoy his work and was seemingly intent on doing the best work possible. I can't praise them enough as I have never worked with work people who were such hard, dependable workers. Even the subcontractors fit this mold.

 Matt and Sara were always available for questions and were responsive to any requests. They made this approximately 8 week project just as easy as it could possibly be.

Our old house kitchen hadn't been remodeled since the early seventies and the results of this remodel are exceptional. A beautiful, more functional kitchen was achieved.

All the subcontractors that worked on the project were very professional. They were punctual or if they were going to be late, they would call ahead and let us know. They always cleaned up the work area when they left for the day. They covered all walk areas when they walked through the house, protecting our house from the outside weather. When we had issues with structure or there was going to be an extra expense, they would discuss it with us first to get our approval. A big shout out to Jerry and crew for their hard work and and eye to detail. I would have them all back in a heart beat!
Sara and Matt have a wonderful crew at their office and in the field. Please don't hesitate to contact them if you have something you need done. They may not be the cheapest, but they purchase quality products and back them 100%.

Everyone was prompt and  friendly  with attention to minimizing mess. All the work was done with excellance. The new shower faucet was the incorrect finish but was quickly replaced before installation with the correct ones. We kept the existing faucets and they were reinstalled in the new sinks easily. Any paint retouching was done well(I'd kept the paint). Matt Berry followed up afterwards to make sure all was done properly and we were happy. We plan to have them redo the the tub and countertop in our other bathroom when they have time between bigger jobs. This was a relative small job but it was done with the same commitment to quality as any of their considerably larger remodels.

We had, had several contractors come and look at the space and give us a bid for two bedrooms, full bath, and finishing the family room. Everyone of them asked us "what do you see here"? Some of the other contractors asked us for any drawn out plans. We do not know how to do this. When I spoke initially with Berry Built I explained that neither my husband or myself are architects and we needed help with the design as well as the construction. 
Matt & Sara came in July to look at the basement. They took lots of pictures and measurements. I did tell them that we had a budget. They explained that they would need a few weeks to put a plan together and they would call us when things were ready for us to come and look the plans over and discuss any questions we would have. Sara gave me a web site to go to, for us to look at possible design ideas. I love the web site!
We met a couple of months later to look at there design ideas. Since we are not in any hurry to get the work done we were good with waiting a couple of months to look at any design ideas they had.
We met them at there office and they informed us that they had 2 different plans for us to look at. They told us about how they talked in detail with there electrical and plumbing contractors on how to work the space for the bathroom. They were trying how not to move any plumbing and to work with what was already there. We wanted a Jacuzzi tub but no shower. We have two walk in showers upstairs but not tub. The first plan they showed us was wonderful. They had looked at things that we had never considered. They reworked the entrance to the bathroom and the bedroom beautifully. The second plan was almost liked the first but with just a few changes. Basically, we fell in love with the first design.
Matt then explained how the plan moves forward and the initial cost of each plan. We had a budget in mind but never told them what the total budget amount was. It was at this point my husband and I went home and looked at the budget and
discussed all our options. Unfortunately because we did not have a realistic idea of costs we are going to have to put the project on hold for some time. We do like the plans and would like to have Berry Built do the project but not until we have the funds saved up. We are very flexible and have time on our side, we feel that we can wait until we have and additional $25,000.00 saved.
Matt and Sara are easy to work with and to talk too. They are budget conscious and tried to work with all the plumbing constraints that are present. They have a beautiful plan and we will hopefully work with them in the future.

I was surprised at how long it took to complete.  This is a busy company, with skilled workmen.  Part of the reasons it took what seemed to me like a long time  were: they came and went during the day, because the owner was fitting the work done into their schedule, things had to be ordered and I made some decisions as I went. The results were terrific. I was very satisfied.

We bought our home in July of 2010 and, although huge, the kitchen did not have a good work flow.  When my oven died, it was time to put in the double oven I always wanted and make some much needed changes to the kitchen.  Matt and Manda made EXCELLENT suggestions for the new layout.  (Although I spoke with three other contractors, none of them came even close to the great suggestions Matt and Manda had, and probably would have been much more expensive and less satisfactory.)  Matt used several experts to create and match new cabinets, since they were no longer available from the original supplier.  I have had so many compliments on what a good job they did matching the finish and the styling is perfect.  My biggest fear was cutting the existing granite countertop to install a new bar sink in the corner.  Gargoyle Granite was called to do that work, and it was executed flawlessly.  You can't tell it was added later.  The installers, Gordon and Mark, were true professionals, and perfectionists!  I couldn't have been happier with their quality of work, work ethic, and attitude.  I've never seen people take more time to measure a board (or trim in this case) and make multiple cuts to be sure they had a perfect fit.  If I didn't tell people the kitchen had been remodeled, they would never know it.  To top it off, the work was finished in two weeks.  Other contractors were guessing several months to do the job, but it could take longer.
Overall, I am extremely pleased and impressed with the work that Matt and his crew did for us.  I would definitely recommend them to friends and would hire them if I had another kitchen or bath remodel to do.  I can't say enough good things about them.

After interviewing several contractors, we selected the team from Berry Built to take on our complete kitchen remodel.  We chose Berry Built & Design because they were able to take our hopes and ideas for the kitchen and transform it into a space we could not even have imagined.  The final result is beautiful, functional and most importantly came in on budget.  The team was friendly, professional and respectful, not only of our family, but our home as well.  We would not hesitate to recommend Berry Built and will use them for our next project!
