He showed up when he said he would show up, his work and that of fellow contractors with whom he works was excellent, the quality of the materials used was superb, and the entire project was done in two weeks. It also felt great to not be throwing out existing cabinetry into a landfill, but refacing it instead. It was wonderful to work with a small local contractor with years of experience rather than a faceless company that hires who knows who to come into your home to do the work. I recommend this company highly!

I cannot even begin to say how great a job Richard did for us. He is such a kind guy, he's fairly…read morepriced, his work is excellent and he really got to know us and make us feel special. My husband and I have been remodeling an old two family for the past two years and of all the contractors we've hired, Richard was by far the best. He's responsive, replies to text and email, and keeps you updated on the progress of the project. He did our whole kitchen cabinet set, our bathroom vanity and installed a very oddly shaped back door. Throughout the whole process, I trusted him in my home and that he would finish the job. Anyone looking for new cabinets, big or small projects, I can't recommend Richard Gray enough.

We found Richard to be a consummate professional from the beginning and throughout the entire process. He worked with us to understand the design aesthetic we were looking to achieve, and helped us choose wood and finishes which would most effectively complement the design. His measurements and fittings were impeccable. Once the design was chosen and the construction began (off site at Richard's workshop), Richard was excellent at keeping us updated as to how the project was proceeding and what our timetable was looking like. When it came time for installation (about a week), all of the components arrived and were put expertly (and neatly so) into place. The result is a beautiful, high-end built-in unit which looks great in our home. We could not be happier with the result of this project. I would not hesitate to recommend Richard Gray for any carpentry project and we expect to be calling upon Richard for other carpentry needs we will have.

We struggled for over a year to find someone to help us retro-fit our lower cabinet and counter top for a new cook top. Then we found Paul!

When I decided I needed doors for my office, Paul was the first person I thought of because I wanted the job done right and to look great. I am so happy with the outcome. I highly recommend him!

We contacted Paul at DesignWorks Company (DWC) to get a bid on renovating our bathroom. Paul got…read moreright back to us and arranged to come look at our (sad, dated) bathroom. He had some great ideas on how to enhance the space, showing us how we could easily have a bigger shower. We checked with a couple of other companies, but went with DWC because we liked Paul's responsiveness, ability to explain, patience, and flexibility. The bid wasn't the cheapest, but DWC did a fantastic job and was worth every penny! Paul walked us through every step, from design ideas to site logistics to explaining the process to connecting us with wonderful, sensible local vendors for tile, fixtures, paint, and window treatments. He and his crew are reliable, trustworthy, friendly, and CLEAN, besides being outstanding craftsmen. The subcontractors he engages are just as wonderful. They all have a good relationship with the city and took care of all permits and communication with the city. His ability to coordinate and adjust schedules kept the project humming along - it was finished in less time than anticipated despite a global pandemic hitting right at the end! He and his subs worked with the city to get everything signed off despite the city's shutdown. If you've read this far, I hope you'll let me share a story or two. How clean are they at DWC? They set up a staging area in a spare room with plastic walls and floor covering, and covered the stairs as well. One day I looked out the window to see them vacuuming the *driveway* at the end of a day when they were sawing outdoors. How good are they? They found a squeaky subfloor board on the landing and fixed it (yes, it cost extra) because they were worried it might warp the tiles in the bathroom. The subcontractors pointed out many times little details that made them want to work with DWC. How creative are they? They wanted to recess our medicine cabinet but found a pipe behind the wall. So they bumped out the wall there so we could have a recessed cabinet (which we hadn't even thought of, but which looks much nicer than one hanging on the wall). How quiet are they? I work from home, and they never disturbed me. Or our dog, for that matter, but she's pretty deaf. In fact, they were always happy to see her, which of course endeared them to me even more. How perfectionist are they? They fixed some dings made in the other rooms in the course of the work and even had the painter do the stairway, even though most of those dings were done by us. Finally, if you've read this far, the DWC crew and everyone who works with them are just plain NICE. It was a pleasure to have them work with us, and I would engage them again in a heartbeat.

While this work did not involve a lot of carpentry, I'll share that Paul was: - Incredibly responsive. He answered my call asap and came the next day to help as planned. - Persistent. This thing was really stuck and Paul would not give up. He got it out after an incredible amount of work. - Courteous. Paul cleaned up everything after the job very thoroughly. - Went the extra mile. Paul noticed that we were missing a plug on our disposal so he drove to the hardware store, bought one, and came back to install it, saving me the trouble. All of this speaks to Paul's character and work ethic. Should I have any carpentry work, I would not hesitate to call Paul. In fact, now that I have his number, I'm dreaming up carpentry jobs!

We found IDR…read moreConstruction via Google and Yelp reviews and we were very impressed with the reviews and pictures of IDR's work. Ian took the time to talk on the phone when I first reached out about the project and the scope of work. He even reviewed some drawings I had done of the space and pointed out some things to think about for the layout (such as if we moved the fridge, we'd have to make sure we could access a water line for the ice maker). Ian met with us at the house to talk about the project, and we engaged Ian and IDR shortly thereafter. All told, the renovation took about 4 weeks, which was a great timeline and we are very pleased with how it came out. Ian was responsive, polite, and overall a pleasure to work with, and his subcontractors were polite, unobtrusive and cleaned up each day. We were fortunate in that we had a clear vision of what we wanted (which made the design process easy), but Ian truly helped bring that vision to life and thought of ways to make it better that we hadn't thought of, all while never being pushy or disrespectful. We highly recommend Ian and the IDR team and we look forward to the opportunity to work with him again.
