When my parents died and left me their home it was an emotional as well as a practical challenge to figure out what to do with it. The house was over a half century old, and it needed a LOT of work. But my father had designed this house with his architect brother and it was where I had spent many happy years with my parents, so I decided I wanted to honor their memory by restoring it. My husband and I live 200 miles away and it wasn't easy to find and select a contractor that we felt comfortable with. We interviewed five, none of whom quite clicked for us. Until we found Meridian. Justin and Sara "got" the essence of the house right away. They could see clearly what it would look like if its unique design features were preserved and if it were restored to its original beauty. They knew just the right balance to strike between updating the place and keeping the underlying architectural design concept intact. We didn't realize the full breadth and range of Meridian's service capability until the project was underway. We tapped their considerable design and construction expertise heavily through all the phases of this complex refurbishing/restoration project. From the bigger items (e.g. installing a new roof, replacing rotted beams and eaves, installing new cedar siding, building a new deck, tearing down and building a retaining wall, installing two new bathrooms, doing tilework, intricate ironwork, concrete work, building patio covers, doing a porch repair, plumbing, electrical work), to the smaller items such as finish carpentry, gate repair, etc.--Justin and his crew were able to handle it all. Whatever the problem thrown at them (and there were lots!) they responded with a can-do attitude and they always solved it. We were wowed by the quality of work that Trevor did and we were also lucky to have Brad working on our project. All of the sub-contractors were excellent as well. Justin kept the lines of communication wide open--he was unfailingly transparent about costs, and he always had creative thoughts about various options we could pursue that helped us stay within budget. Justin is an extremely helpful consultant, design partner, and advisor. From initial demolition work to their clean up and billing practices, Meridian worked with us, informing, reassuring, partnering. They are honest and they earned (and kept) our trust. The fact that they are also FUN to work with was an added bonus. As an additional and important "value-add", Justin and Sara are socially conscious and give back to the community in multiple ways--both their time and a % of their profits. We were especially impressed at how intelligent and articulate Justin is, valuable and rare attributes anywhere. He was genuinely interested in what we as the customer wanted to achieve, while also bringing his informed opinion to the table. He and his crew are incredibly skilled. We recommend them wholeheartedly. read more

FANTASTIC!!!! That is the only way to describe our new kitchen and the Meridian Design Construction team. We absolutely have our dream kitchen and they made it happen. Everything was quality from the meet and greet to how they kept us informed on the process. The team was professional and we were comfortable with them in our home. They kept us on budget and somehow we ended up with everything we wanted and more!!! It's almost indescribable how we feel as though we our actually standing in something we thought could only be a dream. They made it happen beyond our expectations! I would not hesitate to hire them.

Justin and Sara are amazing! I recently decided to remodel my master bathroom and throughout the whole process they were extremely helpful. I truly value Sara's creativity and insight on design. She helped me to design a truly beautiful bathroom. Justin was very knowledgable and detail oriented. He let me know what was going on during every step of the remodel and was very responsive to my questions and concerns. If you're looking for a wonderful contractor, I highly recommend Meridian. read more

Job was completed weeks behind schedule, jobsite was left dirty requiring significant labor to clean up. Meridian showed up late to the jobsite daily and exhibited at times unprofessional behavior and poor attitude. Would not recommend by any means. read more

We have used Meridian Design Construction for two separate projects at our house, and couldn't be happier. The first project was a large one. We remodeled our kitchen, put in new flooring throughout the house, removed popcorn ceiling throughout, and removed multiple wall sections to create a more open floorplan. From start to finish Justin and Sara worked with us to bring our design vision to reality. All the work was top notch, with great attention to detail spent. Right down to the cabinet knobs and drawer pulls Sara found for the kitchen, which are such a seemingly small thing, but they help tie everything together and also prove that function can be stylish, too. Meridian clearly understood the vibe we were going for, and completely nailed it upon completion. As to be expected for any large project, we had setbacks to the schedule, but everything was clearly communicated so we knew what to expect. Justin does a great job of articulating why things should be done a certain way or explaining issues as they arise during work. Our second project was our backyard, which was completed this week. We had been planning to remove the existing (dead and dying) lawn and put in a decomposed granite patio, new sod, and install a fence to create a dog run on the side of our house. After our great previous experience with them, we knew that we wanted to work with them again on the yard. Work began and was finished quickly, and our yard looks beautiful. Like with the remodel project, Meridian exceled at the details and went above and beyond. For both projects, they were great at working with us to determine what we could handle on our own or do without in order to meet our budget requirements. The icing on the cake is they are sweet people and a pleasure to work with, and everyone in the larger Meridian family that worked on the different phases of the projects was professional and skilled. Whatever home remodel or renovation projects you have, I would highly recommend Meridian Design Construction. read more
