Customer Testimonials

We appreciate the attention to detail from the whole team.

We are very pleased with the progress and communication with our job. Josh keeps us updated with information and video’s on a regular basis. We appreciate the attention to detail from the whole team. Thanks again to everyone working on this project!

Professional and very competent.

Strite Design + Remodel is currently working on an extensive redesign and remodel project on our home in the foothills. They have done an excellent job on the design and have worked through existing structure modifications and engineering for them as well as execution of the addition of a concrete deck and bedroom modification while we are still able to stay in the home. They are professional and very competent. We are looking to keep our architectural and sight lines harmonized, take advantage of some great views of downtown and the mountains, while making our home more contemporary inside. The Strite team is helping us realize our vision and guiding us along the way.

This is why I love Strite design + remodel.

This is why I love Strite design + remodel. Their communication and project management approach is really similar where I work, and I get that and love it. Clear communication, along with openness and honesty when challenges come up and a foundation of mutual respect, is absolutely everything to me. These guys are the masters. From Brandy on Facebook.

Thrilled with the remodel.

Thank you to Jon, Ed and the whole team! We are thrilled with our remodel! The results exceeded our expectations. Thanks for everything.

- Amy and Jason

We had a firm budget and Strite worked with us to give us an amazing kitchen.

In 2015 my husband and I hired Strite to remodel our kitchen. Michael came up with great design ideas to make our small kitchen more functional. The crew that worked on our kitchen was amazing. We had a firm budget and Strite worked with us to give us an amazing kitchen with more space at the price we could afford. The outside vendors used were professional and did excellent work. I highly recommend them, they have competitive pricing, great ideas, and great customer service! Thanks Strite!

Your team had our best interests at heart every day.

“Like most people, my husband, and I approached our remodeling project with a mixture of excitement and apprehension, having heard many stories about remodels gone wrong. Every time I look at my house now, it is with a mixture of delight and happiness, and your company is responsible for that.

When I first met Michael Snow and he showed me your company’s portfolio, I wondered for a moment if Strite would be the right fit for us. After all, we were contemplating an interior remodel of a 1,300 square foot 1977 ranch house out in the Barber Valley, not an addition to a gorgeous home in the Highlands. Even though I’m sure our project was a small one by your standards, the level of customer service that we received from your staff every day made me feel like this was the most important job you had.

Michael had wonderful ideas for our kitchen remodel, and as I use the cabinets and the space months later, I still cannot think of anything I would do differently. In our design meetings, Michael’s excellent interviewing skills brought our needs into focus, and he designed a space that fits our lives. In the dinner parties I’ve held since, I have been amazed at how well the kitchen, dining room, and living room work together. Through-out our remodel, I was deeply impressed by Michael’s collaborative approach to problem solving and his focus on our budget. His catchphrase, “that’s high budget, low value; let’s find something low budget, high value,” became our remodeling mantra.

Ed Lee was our project manager, and he and Bob Mundy were consistently available for even the smallest questions. I knew by their actions that our day-to-day remodeling experience was just as important to them as the final product. Ed’s sense of humor and his enthusiasm for the construction process was unmistakable, and affected the entire team at my house, including tradespeople. When I’d come home in the middle of the day for a question or to check on something, I entered the house to sounds of hammers, saws, hard work, and laughter. (my husband) and I did the painting ourselves, and Ed went beyond the call of duty to provide painting tips and ideas. I learned a great deal about the way our home is put together from Ed, and I deeply appreciated his knowledge.

Michael, Ed, and Bob were absolute watchdogs for quality. Two of my friends were remodeling their houses at the same time with other companies. Both would tell stories of needing to explain to their contractors why they were unhappy with something. Either something came in the wrong color, or wasn’t quite straight, or simply not right. I never had to bring up a quality issue. On the one or two occasions when an issue cropped up, Ed would point it out to me and say, “Bob and I looked at this, and we think it needs to be re-done,” and they would do it. Not once did I feel I had to argue with anyone.

I must share one last story about Michael. One of my remodeling friends was having a difficult time with her contractor, and was at wit’s end. I suggested that she talk to Michael, hoping he would have some ideas. She and I both talked to Michael on the phone, and he listened, did some investigating, and called her back with advice that she found helpful. Now, as her remodel is wrapping up, behind schedule and over budget, she doesn’t recommend her contractor to friends. She recommends Strite.

Your team had our best interests at heart every day, whether the topic was budget, functionality, quality construction, or aesthetics. We are delighted at the result, and admire the top-notch way your business operates. Thank you so much for a positive experience.”

Impressed that they were true to their budget and communicated well.

Strite did a really great job on our master bathroom. They listened to what we wanted, operated in a professional manner, and got the job done on time. We were impressed that they were true to their budget and really communicated well with us regarding the budget and the remodel as a whole.

I’m in love with the deck.

I was skeptical about Bob’s shading device at first – but it really DOES help in the afternoon – and, of course, even a week after summer solstice, the sun is falling sooner so we’ll be just fine. Also the railing MAKES the whole thing! wow! Love the design, love that it’s less bulky than what we had before, love that I can see “thru” it, just great. VERY good!! (Name) brought the person who is organizing the big reception to see it and she is thrilled – that’s good news but now I fear we’ll start needing to rent out the deck as the “perfect location for your reception/party needs….” (then again, maybe that’s not bad….might help us pay for it then!?)

Hope you are having a good weekend. We’re having a deck vacation!

I always felt like a valued client

Dear Michael,

Now that the addition work has been completed on my home, I wanted to express my appreciation to you and all of the team at Strite not only for the quality of the work, but also for exceeding my expectations all along the way. From the first meeting we had, through the design and construction phases, I was continually impressed with the availability and responsiveness of each member of your team. Those qualities alone would be enough for me to recommend you to friends or use you for a future project on my own home, but there was more; I felt like each of the Strite employees I met really put themselves in my shoes and did the work to the very best of their considerable abilities.

I had been through the initial phases of a renovation and addition project for a home I own outside Washington, DC, with Case Design and Remodeling, a premier company with a national profile, yet I felt more confident and secure with Strite than I did at any point in the process with that project. From our initial meeting, when you were somehow able to intuit what I wanted instead of what I was saying, your design plan and suggestions improved upon my wildest dreams. You heard my concerns about ensuring that interior natural light be preserved and suggested a skylight that has enhanced the livability and enjoyment of my original space in a way I had never imagined or would have thought was possible. I appreciated that your suggestions brought me options to consider, but I never felt “upsold.” Your design proposal and explanation of your working process were enough for me to see that Strite was the leading choice for the job, but what sealed the deal was your attention to detail. In one of our meetings at my home, you noticed that one of my switchplates was a different tone than the others. Weeks later, when we sat down to sign the paperwork, you had included changing that switchplate to match the others in the house. I soon found that attending to details was to be the hallmark of the whole process. Due to the open concept plan of my house, the kitchen ceiling is unbroken through the living room, dining room and downstairs hall. The addition of a kitchen skylight necessitated some patching of the paint and, although the color match was perfect, the finish was off. Before I could even ask about the discrepancy, the whole ceiling was scheduled to be re-rolled to fix the problem. In short, at every step of the way, Strite worked proactively not reactively. I was extremely impressed with your desire to not only execute Strite’s part of the project well, but to look at my home holistically and ensure the enhancement of the entire structure.

As the construction date approached, I was scheduled to be out of town. I was relieved and impressed that Strite stepped in and coordinated with my landscaping company to arrange to have a tree relocated to facilitate the construction access, and you had a certified arborist brought in to consult about another mature tree that was very near the addition location. Once work commenced, your project manager, Ed Lee, was diligent about keeping me updated and introducing me to the tradespeople who were working on my home. I can’t say enough positive things about those tradespeople. I happen to be home most of the day, so it was important to me to feel comfortable with those who were working on the project. To a person, they were courteous and efficient throughout the process. I have a cat and a dog who are not used to commotion, and from the moment that I saw that their names were on the DOW, I knew that they would be considered in the execution of project. The cat is an indoor cat, and I had confidence that when I left that she would not be allowed to get out. As strange as it sounds, I never felt an invasive presence in the house despite having a skylight dropped into the kitchen ceiling, a master bedroom window and wall reconfigured and part of a back wall removed to connect a new room. Your crew was painstaking about cleaning up each night and not leaving work uncompleted in the evening or over the weekend that in any way would have an impact on my use or enjoyment of the house.

I also have to thank Brad Millspaugh for his weekly progress updates and for working with me on a minor billing issue and payment schedule. He was great to interact with, and I appreciated the speed and certainty of his responses to my inquiries. Ultimately, I enjoyed working with all of you because I always felt like a valued client and not just a person who was writing a check; I really enjoyed doing business with your company because I felt that each of you treated me considerately and genuinely appreciated my business. As a customer, there is no better feeling.

I would appreciate your sharing my comments and thanks with all those who worked to make my project such a success. You may also feel free to share them with any prospective clients who may find my views valuable. I would also be willing to speak with anyone who is considering using your services and has questions or just wants to talk through the process.

Thank you again for all your work at enhancing my enjoyment and appreciation of my home. Be assured Strite will be my first call when I am ready for my next project!

SDR note: we have since returned to complete two more projects – a fireplace/entertainment center makeover, and a new backyard fence.

We truly appreciate the quality and integrity of your work.

We just wanted to thank you so much for the amazing Remodel and keepsake book! It was amazing to see the before and after shots! We’ve been sharing with our family and friends throughout the holiday and truly appreciate the quality and integrity of your work, knowledge and expertise. We are loving our new Spa Master!!!!! Thanks again for being an amazing crew to work with and all the Best in 2020!

We couldn’t be happier!

Ted finished up last evening and we couldn’t be happier with the beautiful cabinets! Thanks for all!

It’s been an incredible journey.

My grandkids are enjoying the house along with my son and friends! I feel terribly blessed to have so much with this amazingly transformed and extremely enjoyable house which is now my home for a long time! I can’t believe it’s over. It’s been an incredible journey and you all have been so understanding with my ups and downs for just about a year!! Thanks!!

I cannot say enough.

I cannot say enough about Strite’s customer service. Besides their expert craftsmanship – they added a beautiful bonus room and bathroom over our garage that blends seamlessly with our existing home – their customer service is second to none. Bob noticed a flat tire on my car and changed it for me, Brad kept schedules going and was on top of every detail, and Ed, Matt and crew were so professional and wonderful to work with. Three and a half years after they completed our project, I called for a referral to do some maintenance on our HVAC mini-split system, and Ed came out himself to work on it. Over and above! We could not be happier that we chose Strite design + remodel and we will choose them again for our next project. Bonnie and Mark.

It’s been an incredible journey

Yes, my grand-kids are enjoying the house along with my son and friends! I feel terribly blessed to have so much with this amazingly transformed and extremely enjoyable house which is now my home for a long time! I can’t believe it’s over. It’s been an incredible journey and you all have been so understanding with my ups and downs for just about a year!! Thanks!!

- Trish

Very professional and on top of things.

Thanks for the fantastic job! Things went very smooth even with the AWR’s we threw into the project! We will see you soon for the bedroom addition.

Also, Ed id a fantastic job onsite! Very professional and way on top of things. Thanks again.

- Leah and Rich

Very kind words just two days into a bathroom remodel.

I just wanted to tell you how impressed I am with your whole organization. It’s early in the project, but everyone I’ve encountered so far is top notch in every way. Even the Strite sign in my yard is classy.

Customer service is of paramount to me – receiving it, as well as giving it – and because of that, I have very high standards. It’s so refreshing to work with a team that also holds it in such high regard.

Our home couldn’t be any more perfect.

We had 13 [guests ] here yesterday – all sitting at one table together (2 long tables and 3 card tables pushed together) thanks to your design and Strite’s awesome work in 2004-05. Then we adjourned to our music room (thanks to your design and the Strite crew’s awesome work) and played music together (Lowrey, guitars, drums, kazoos). Our home couldn’t be any more perfect for the kinds of ways we want to spend time together as a family.

Thank you Mike, Amy and the Strite team. ?

The actual finished product was truly perfection.

It has taken me far too long to write this note to you. I want to compliment you and your associates on a job well done.

As we discussed, it is very difficult to find anyone interested in a “small” job. The fact that you were not only interested but treated the job as if it were a large one was most impressive. When we first met I stated how surprised I was to see a business actually have a Mission Statement and plans developed to follow it. I was also quite surprised and pleased to see the obvious concern over detail right down to a specific schedule for each [activity].

Now when it came to the actual work being done everything that I had seen was followed right on through to the end. What a pleasure. Everyone who came to our home was neat, clean, professional and polite. They arrived when they said they would, they called ahead of time, there wasn’t a lot of unnecessary chit chat between the craftsmen and they moved right along. They didn’t even take breaks and the lunch break was the shortest I had seen for a long time.

The actual finished product was truly perfection. In fact, my next door neighbor comments on what a terrific job was done every time she comes over.

You should be very proud of what you have set in motion. I do believe that you’re certainly a minority in your profession not to speak of others as well. Everyone would be wise to check out what you have done and see if they couldn’t learn something. In fact, I don’t know anyone who couldn’t learn something from you and your team.

Thanks again for a great job!

Strite does it right the first time.

Here are some comments for you.
1. Strite does it right the first time, you get what you pay for;
2. Our remodel was done so well it makes for real easy living;
3. STRITE is all about people not just boards and nails;
4. From Michael Snow’s first presentation to his final interview it was all top drawer work;
5. The subs were so good you remember their names: Robin and the framers; Terry, Don and Donnie the electricians; Nate and the plumbers; Ron the project manager; Megan and the cabinets; Sarah and the carpets; Mike and the painters and the worlds best excavator back hoe operator, Glen – a real superb fella. The only sub who didn’t live up to your high standards was HVAC.

Thank you for our beautiful home.

Most of all I want to thank you for our beautiful home. I couldn’t be happier and certainly never dreamed nine months ago it would turn out this nice. Everyone [on the Strite team] was such a pleasure to work with, which is what made the whole project possible.

You are the only people I trust to work on my house.

You guys did a VERY good job on my house LIKE ALWAYS. Thank you so much. You are the only people I trust to work on my house.

- Michelle

Thank you very much for a job well done.

Thank you for attending to the damage to my house caused by a leaking roof. Your prompt attention to stemming the leak limited the damage and contained what would have been a very large expense.
The roof repair and ceiling would appear fine. I particularly appreciate the attention provided by the supervisory team lead by Michael Snow and Bob Mundy. They made the whole experience much less painful than I anticipated. They accommodated all of my schedule constraints, delivered everything as promised and were a pleasure to work with.

I will be pleased to recommend your services as appropriate and will certainly contact you regarding any future projects I may have.

Thank you very much for a job well done.

Thank you for making the remodel experience a very pleasant and exciting time

We love our new space and really enjoyed working with you. Thank you for making the remodel experience a very pleasant and exciting time for us as a family.

- Lou

Strite is a name that stands for quality.

We continue to be delighted with the remodeling job that you did for us in the summer of 1987. Guests to our home invariably comment on our wonderful, bright and airy kitchen, and how beautiful and functional it all is. The three bathrooms you remodeled also serve our family well, and they continue to look fresh and up-to-date.
We’ve never regretted a dime of what it cost us to do that remodeling, because we have so enjoyed our updated house. However, now that [we] must sell our home and move out of state, we are more pleased than ever, for remodeling has turned out to be a terrific investment! We have just received an offer on our house that is two-and-a-half times what we paid for the house nine years ago. Even when you factor in the remodeling costs, this represents an excellent return on investment.

Our real estate agent was so impressed when he learned that Strite design and remodel had done the work that he put your company name right in the listing. It’s a name that stands for quality.

The workmanship was excellent.

I would like to take this opportunity to express my appreciation for the recent remodeling project on our home. The workmanship was excellent and the “aim to please” attitude made the whole project a pleasant experience. The sub contractors were very reliable and conscientious.

Our remodel job was really stress free.

The only bad part about having work done by Strite design + remodel is that is spoiled me for working with other contractors. Our project took about four months and I never had one incident of something not done when I was told it would be done or something not corrected immediately if needed. The hassle one sometimes has of having to battle about each little detail, and call and then call again simply didn’t happen with Strite.
Our remodel job was really stress free. It was a pleasure working with all the people in your organization. (My wife) and I thank you for a great job.

Thanks for a great remodel.

We are very appreciative of all the work that went into this job.

- Paul and Becky

They did a great job and kept us in the loop.

We needed to remodel 2 bathrooms in our home. The master-bath included removal of a bathtub, enlarging the shower and tiling, new flooring, toilet and new granite counter tops, glass shower enclosure. The hall bath included replacing tub, toilet and tiling above tub, new tile flooring and counter top. They did a great job and kept us in the loop all the time. The sub-contractors they used were great as well. Very trustworthy.

It has been a pleasure working with you.

Thank you for fixing our floors and for your patience with reimbursement from Whirlpool. It has been a pleasure working with you — and we love the work you did on our home! We hope everyone is well there!

- John and Jenny

Dear friends at Strite.

Thanks for all you did to make our home beautiful. We loved working with you all.

- Pat and Jim

Their clear communication made each project progress smoothly

Strite has completed a number of remodels to our 1960’s ranch. Their clear communication and ability to present and solve problems as they arose made each project progress smoothly. Getting the majority of the details and decisions made up front also minimizes surprises! A great experience overall.

It’s been an incredible journey.

Yes, my grandkids are enjoying the house along with my son and friends! I feel terribly blessed to have so much with this amazingly transformed and extremely enjoyable house which is now my home for a long time! I can’t believe it’s over. It’s been an incredible journey and you all have been so understanding with my ups and downs for just about a year!! Thanks!!

You guys were great!

Thank you! You guys were great! I’ve been recommending you to all my friends!

Thanks again for being an amazing crew to work with and all the best in 2020!

You guys were great.

Thank you! You guys were great!!… I’ve been recommending you to all my friends!

Each budget has been executed on time and budget.

I think that I have hired Strite to do five jobs (and counting!) now, and I don’t even bother to think about talking to anyone else. Each project has been executed on time and on budget, and I have found their exceptional communication skills to be second only to their craftsmanship.

They’ve done both large and small projects for me, and they offer the same level of service and commitment no matter what the size of the job. Their attention to detail is amazing. As an example, Strite had installed a skylight for me, and, while the color match was PERFECT, the finish of the paint on the ceiling was not the same. Before I could mention it to them, Strite had scheduled the painter and the entire ceiling was painted to uniformity. This is especially significant given that the house is open plan, and this involved them painting essentially three large room areas when they had only been working in one of those areas. Despite this, the job still came in on time and on budget.

I am often home when Strite’s subcontractors are there, and they are also fantastic. In the course of all the work that I have had done, I have only had one problem with an employee of a subcontractor. Strite’s construction manager was at my home within an hour, and the situation was resolved quickly and effectively.

If you are looking for a design and remodeling company, you simply cannot do any better than to work with Strite.

We would recommend your company without reservation.

We wanted to tell you how pleased we are with the fine work on our two bathroom remodel projects. It turned out really; nice we couldn’t be happier. Not only was the work professional but was completed in a timely manner. All of you were always very professional and courteous to work with. Eric was especially great to work with as the project manager. He was on top of everything, all the time and kept us informed. He did an awesome job keeping the dust down.

The subcontractors were trustworthy, courteous and a hardworking group of craftsman. Very nice to work with. We were comfortable with them being in our house.

We enjoyed working with you and your subcontracts and would recommend you and your company without reservation.

- Jim and Diane

They take pride in their work and their customer’s satisfaction.

Strite’s people are thoughtful, professional, and just plain good. We hired them to add on 570 sq. ft. above our garage – a bonus room, with a bathroom and a walk-in closet – and it is perfect. Blends seamlessly with the rest of our house and looks as though it has always been there; inside and out. They are craftsmen who take pride in their work and their clients’ satisfaction.

We want to thank you all again for an excellent result.

We want to thank all of you again for an excellent result. Your team members couldn’t have been better. Their cooperation and patience was outstanding. In particular, Bob and Ed did a great job coordinating the work and insuring the final result was what we liked even when it wasn’t perhaps what the parties had originally contemplated.

- Mary and Dale

Wow!

Dear Strite Team Members,

Wow! Thank you again for being so good to us throughout the whole remodeling process. We appreciate how professional, high-quality, on-time, low-impact, communicative, well-organized and over-all considerate you were. We have been telling everyone what a positive experience we had with your team. We will definitely recommend your outstanding company to everyone. You are all top-notch people, and it shows!

I would sure use them again, and recommend them to anyone.

Strite design + remodel did a wonderful job remodeling our galley kitchen and opening it up to our dining room and living room. The house is now so open and airy, it is a joy to have company over as I am not hidden away in the kitchen. They did such a good job of keeping the work area sealed off from the rest of the house during construction. All the different guys that came to our house were really professional and did a great job. There were a couple of glitches, but they were promptly fixed. Kudos to Ed Lee, he was just awesome to work with, as were Neil, Michael and Bob. They also ended up redoing our shower, and Smokey and Scott did a great job on the tile there and the backsplash in the kitchen is the envy of all my friends. The description of work they went over with us before work started was such a great thing, too. Everything was completed in the time frame we were quoted. I would sure use them again, and recommend them to anyone.

Thank you for your involved, concerned, and courteous attitude.

My family and I want to thank you for your involved, concerned, and courteous attitude. Rather than feeling stress about having strangers in my home, I feel that I have made new friends. Ed, Troy and Smokey, in particular, have gone out of their way to be helpful and informative even in matters that did not relate to the bathroom remodel. Everyone that we have been involved with on the Strite team has been a pleasure to consult with. I have enjoyed watching you work and wish the entire Strite Design and Remodel team much success.

Our expectations were not only met, they were exceeded in every respect.

Hi Michael –

Just wanted to thank you, Jim, and the entire Strite team for our beautiful remodel. We began this project with great anticipation and high expectations. We can wholeheartedly state that our expectations were not only met, they were exceeded in every respect. Strite sets a very high standard or service, quality, and customer satisfaction, and you do truly stand by your work in every way, start to finish.

When we first began thinking about this project we set some guidelines in choosing a remodeling firm.

1. We wanted a well-respected, quality oriented, and professional firm.
2. One whose focus was on the client and in creating an addition to our home that was complementary of the existing architecture and neighborhood.
3. Provide a remodel that was cost-effective (on budget), again quality in construction and materials, and carried out in a timely fashion, and finally,
4. Work with our specific needs and somewhat nebulous ideas – turning them into a great end result.
Strite met our needs and desires in every way. Additionally, we were so impressed with all of the Strite people and contractors in their care and concern for us living in the house. We experienced little in the way of disruption of our lives – not any more than would be expected in a major remodel. The remodel was done in steps to insure we could go about our daily lives and still live in the home.
We interviewed quite a few remodeling firms and Strite won hands down. Every discussion with the Strite team reinforced that Strite’s goals were exactly the same as ours. With so many horror stories in remodeling we began this process with a little bit of trepidation. However, everyone at Strite is so professional and dedicated to the client that any fear we had was immediately put to rest – and never resurfaced during or entire remodel. The true measure of a company is how one deals with small problems that will inevitably crop up AND in taking steps to prevent most problems in the first place. Strite is top-notch in both areas.

Part of this is due to Strite’s great communication. Every aspect of the remodel was well discussed, documented, and outlined in a dated timeline and cost sheet – before construction began! This certainly aided in staying within budget and on schedule.

We feel proud to have met and worked with trades people and professionals who take such pride in their work. Who also executed a project in such a way that when all is finished, it looks like that is how it should have originally been designed – true credit for an excellent job. Strite Design and Remodel is one of the few firms – in any profession – living their mission statement, promoting ideals of customer satisfaction, pride in work, and quality work environment. Your company’s various awards are well deserved.

Our highest praise and heartfelt thanks to all at Strite and your wonderful team, we look forward to working with Strite again in the future. Our highest compliment that we can pay your firm is to work with you again in the future and recommend you to our friends. We plan on doing both.

Thanks again – for helping to turn our house into our home.

Appreciation for another job well done.

Your company remodeled our home at in 1995. When our home was inspected by prospective buyers they discovered a copper tube under the bathroom sink that they nor us could guess its purpose. In a very short time the Strite team visited us and discovered that they had stored it there in case we wanted to hook up an ice maker instead of having it laying behind the refrigerator.

After more than three years after you completed your work, to have this type of customer service response is remarkable. This was the type of service we experienced throughout the remodeling process and we are grateful that you continue to excel. As always we will continue to recommend your company anytime we hear of someone considering a remodeling project.

During the showing and selling of our home we mentioned to different Realtors, who had performed the remodeling and never failed to get a positive response to both the quality of the work and your company’s reputation.
