FINDING 'REFINE'-MENT IN RENOVATION CHAOS

Westender - by Jennifer Scott

'Big or small, renovations are stressful. As a designer, I am inherently aware of the importance of finding a team that I can align with when it comes to renovations or custom builds, and the same goes for homeowners looking to tackle a new project. It’s not just a matter of finding someone you trust to stay on budget and meet the expectations you’ve set out before the work begins – working with the right team means collaborating with a reputable builder or contractor on the overall project vision, and connecting with those that harmonize with your communication style and values.

For the third year in a row, Refine & Design Custom Homes & Renovations has taken top spot in Westender’s Best of the City awards.'

Sweet words from sweet people

					From start to finish, Sam and the entire Refine & Design team demonstrate exceptional professionalism and craftsmanship. Sam was extremely flexible and quickly adjusted the onset of our project to align with our family vacation. We were beyond impressed with how the team took care of our home during the reno, and the cleanliness at the end of each workday while we were living in the construction zone. My vision for our renovation and the entire process exceeded our expectations. Our dog will really miss having the Refine & Design crew over every day!

					Sam's company is an elite one. Very prompt service using top level materials and workmanship. The crew were friendly, courteous and competent. They maintained a clean work site and worked well around unforeseen issues. The cost is not cheap but worth it in my opinion. We are planning another project for Sam in the future.

					I've dealt with multiple members of Sam's team across a pair of projects. Sam will come in with the best people who go the extra mile to do things right. A team that dealt well with unusual requests or getting complex things done well.
