Eric S. Perry Design & Build, Inc.

Eric has become like family to us. He rebuilt our entire home after a massive flood from an upstairs bath destroyed much of our 3,200 sq ft home. We entrusted him with opening up supporting walls and installing a 19ft steel beam, creating new framing for a new walk-in pantry, a complete kitchen makeover, updating all hardwood and tile flooring, trim work, closet remodels… you name it we did it with Eric. He is a quick communicator, trustworthy, light-hearted, empathetic to the stresses for homeowners through build and design processes, and we feel very lucky to have found him so we could restore and revive our home!

We originally interviewed Eric Perry when we thought we might build a new house from the ground up and were very impressed with his attention to detail and quality. When our plans changed and we found an existing home and property we liked, we immediately called him to do an addition of a large music/tv room with fireplace, a large screened in porch, and a large wrap-around deck. While we were out of town for several weeks, Eric and his fantastic crew of Colton and Zach did the demolition of an old deck and got started on digging piers. They encountered some unexpected issues with rock and cement in the soil, but soldiered on without complaint. We had an early delay with plans going back and forth to the county permitting department, but once all that was cleared up, they dove right in began what ended up as a fantastic construction project. Eric, Colton, and Zach were really great to work with on a day-to-day basis - always courteous, hard-working, and all around pleasant guys. The subs Eric called in for framing, electrical, HVAC, and fireplace insert were good craftspeople and did great work under Eric's close supervision. There was a small miscommunication between Eric and us about some doors, but Eric immediately made everything right without a hitch. He was always responsive throughout the process, always communicated the work schedule clearly and accurately, and his attention to detail showed in every step of the work. We were initially drawn to Eric because of his background as a finish carpenter and he brought that level of finish to the entire project. He is a perfectionist and cared about our project like it was his own home. The project was completed in a timely manner and Eric's care with the budget brought everything in on cost. On top of all that, Eric is a really great guy. Due to my interest in woodworking, he invited me to assist him in the construction of the cherry fireplace surround in his shop and he invited my wife out to his house to meet his wife, who toured her through her garden and gave her some plants. In the end, my wife and I say we got exactly what we dreamed of for the house! And we made some new friends. Not many folks can say that about their contractor. We highly, highly recommend him.

Eric S. Perry and his team were our first choice for a major remodeling of our home because of the excellent reviews. Although our timeline was delayed due to the pandemic the project started on time. Our downstairs renovation involved removing two walls and installing a steel beam for a great room and making a bathroom accessible. Eric hired excellent subcontractors for electrical, HVAC, flooring and painting jobs. He and his team transformed our family room and kitchen into a 21st century space from it's former incarnation. Our changing requirements were met promptly with understanding and helpful suggestions. The work was done within the proposed budget and any extras were added accordingly. We traveled extensively during the process and felt always that our house was in good hands. Colton and Zac were very polite, a pleasure to have around and cleaned up the workspace every day. All work has been done to our full satisfaction and we recommend Eric S. Perry highly for major remodeling.

Eric redesigned and remodeled our kitchen, dining room and living room space. From the moment we met with potential contractors, we had a good feeling about Eric. He exceeded all of our initial expectations. He is an excellent listener, and a thorough and thoughtful professional. Good communication is pivotal given the amount of decisions, change orders (because you never know really know what's behind a wall or under a floorboard until you knock it down) and overall scheduling of construction. And from the design phase through the final inspection, Eric was great - transparent, ready to problem solve, but most importantly, willing to do whatever he possibly could to make us happy. Eric and his team take great pride in the quality of their work, and the final product exemplifies this commitment. We miss having them around and can't wait to get started on our next project!

Eric remodeled an owners bathroom for us at a prior house and did a beautiful job, on time and on budget. When it came time to remodel the kitchen at our current house, ESP Design and Build was the only contractor we called. Eric and his team turned a dated, dark, awkward space into a beautiful, bright, and functional kitchen. We weren't clear on exactly what we wanted, but Eric and Violet patiently guided us through the planning process, even when we abruptly changed our minds on appliances. In the end, they did a full remodel of our kitchen and laundry room. Eric, Colton and Zac were easy to work with, professional, courteous, communicative - all things that are critical when a good portion of your house is under construction. They calmly dealt with the unexpected and gave us options for resolution to those (very few) issues as they arose. The quality of their work is excellent - it provided a lot of peace of mind to go through this project confident that we would love the final product. We will absolutely call Eric for future projects.

We had previously used Eric and his team for an addition over the garage. When it came time to renovate our 1962 mid-century kitchen, we were fortunate that Eric had availability this year. We are in the very final stages of wrapping up the kitchen (we're waiting on the arrival of a few appliances). Violet was wonderful to work with on the overall design and selection of finishes. As always, Eric's attention to detail and communication skills set him apart from most builders. When we encountered unexpected issues (such as problems with the old subfloor), Eric was great about giving us options and working with us to make sure that understood cost as well as the pro/cons. Colton and Zac did excellent work and were a pleasure. The subcontractors that Eric selected were professional and very skilled. Although we ended up completely gutting the existing kitchen, the final result is beautiful with a greatly improved layout. It was very important that the updated kitchen look appropriate for a mid-century modern house and Eric and his team exceeded our expectations.

Eric, Colton, and the ESP team have done another amazing job! They built an absolute mega deck which has a screened-in porch and gigantic wrap-around for the main living area, and a lower-level patio for the walk-out basement. They also built a new front porch and did some interior work for our fireplace and kitchen. The new wrap-around deck gives so much room to entertain and the new screened-in porch is such an inviting space to hang out. This replaced an undersized, aging deck from the 1970s and a rotting lower-level deck. Because of COVID, everyone knows the importance of being able to enjoy the outdoors and this project has given us an amazing outdoor space (multiple spaces!) to enjoy. Throughout the project, the team dealt with bad weather, summer heat, uncooperative land, and on top of all that, COVID! ESP’s professionalism and workmanship are top notch, and it is always a pleasure to work with them. This is the second project with Eric. We had a completely gut and remodel of our ugly 1970s kitchen a few years ago. You can scroll down to my other review in 2017 for more kudos for Eric’s team. Thanks Eric and Colton for an excellent job building the mega deck!

PHENOMENAL! There are so many things to say about Eric and his crew that I don’t even know where to start. We just spent the last 14 months together as Eric completed our major home renovation/expansion project through the pandemic – so we were working from home the entire time and able to spend time with Eric and Colton, and we were able to see the work getting done each day. The experience was phenomenal, from start to finish. Eric figured out the plan for our extremely complicated project and it felt seamless (although we know it took a ton of thought, effort and preparation on his end). Eric made sure that every single thing we asked for, down to the smallest detail, was done to perfection and they didn’t stop until it was to our liking. The final product is unbelievable, it’s more than we ever could have expected or asked for – high quality, custom, detailed. Eric and Colton showed up every day, maneuvering smoothly through the complications of weather and covid, and were a true pleasure to have around. Eric stayed in touch and let us know each day what to expect, he did his best to save us money where possible, and he was respectful of all our many requests even when we changed our minds unexpectedly. In fact, they became part of the family and we are genuinely sad to see this come to an end (I never thought I would say that about a home renovation project!). We are in our dream home now, and could NOT be happier. We have grown to love these guys, and we will 100% be calling them for all future projects. They have been outstanding across the board. It doesn’t quite suffice to say that we give them our highest recommendation – it’s hard to put into words how happy we are with all of the work that they’ve done and how much we love these guys. Off the charts, exceptional.

Eric and his team, Colton and Dwayne, did a fantastic job from the design stage all the way to the final details of the project. We are thrilled with our new space! Many thanks for the excellent job and workmanship!

Eric S. Perry Design and Build are an outstanding company. Eric and Violet and the crew built our magnificent house 3 years ago and I am so glad we were able to use them for an addition to our house. Our family has grown and we needed more room. Eric and his wonderful team added a new play room including a bathroom and additional storage space AND a new garage. You would never know that this was an addition to the house as it was so perfectly matched. Eric and the team are highly skilled, efficient and wonderful individuals. Combined with the decorating vision of Violet, the result is perfection. Our thanks to the contractors and especially to Colton and Dwayne for their skill and dedication. We consider them as friends and recommend them without reservation.

Eric came highly recommended by a neighbor that had used his company for a beautiful whole house renovation. We feel very fortunate to have found Eric and his crew. Eric worked with us to design a flexible space that would meet our current and future needs while staying within our budget. His whole crew takes great pride in their work and the craftsmanship is excellent. Eric goes out of his way to communicate progress and he had an impressive ability to keep track of requests that we made during the build process. We're thrilled with the result. If you want a design/build company that does very high quality work with integrity, I highly recommend that you consider Eric's company.

Our experience with Eric S. Perry Design Build exceeded our wildest expectations. We started the design process with Eric and Violet thinking we’d end up getting a pretty nice kitchen renovation and small screened porch. We ended the design and build experience with the kitchen of our dreams, a new half bathroom, and new laundry/mudroom, a beautiful large screened porch and a much sounder, energy efficient and safer home. From start to finish, our project took about a year to complete. This includes a few rounds of design drawings with Violet and Eric. They were able to turn our very small kitchen, family den and unused back bedroom into a highly functional space that works extremely well for our family (just the two of us and a dog!). We had a few setbacks with a very rainy spring, followed by having to level old floors and needing to rebuild exterior walls from some additions put on over the span of 60 years. Eric and his team were able to handle these obstacles with finesse and true craftsmanship. Opening the walls of a home built in the 1950s opened up some surprises, but Eric was able to find solutions that were cost effective and turned out improving the overall quality of our home. Just one example was that he helped us move the main power line in our home (previously was unsafe, had no idea until the walls were opened). This greatly improved the curb appeal of our home, too. Eric also brought in a special engineer to help us get our dream porch built, making sure the proper amendments to the ground were made for a super solid foundation. Eric and his crew are true craftsmen—the trim work in our space is impeccable. He was able to make such tight corners that our corners look like a solid piece of wood. The new wood floors in the space match perfectly with the old oak floors first put down in the 50s. No detail was overlooked, and Eric was able to create some incredible woodworking into the project with some cool designs between fence work, trim work and creating a mudroom bench for us, too. Violet’s design services helped us create a truly unique space that matches our personality. We went with non-traditional blue/green cabinets and very dark appliances, in a large space without an island. At first, we thought an island was the way to go, but Violet helped us see & design a space that is so much more functional without a huge obstacle placed in the middle of our kitchen. She was also able to design the space so we could get a new half bathroom and laundry room off of the kitchen. We had previously met with two other contractors who told us those ideas weren’t possible with the footprint of our home. I’m glad I went with my gut when they told me that! Eric’s communication with us was top-notch. He kept us in the loop, kept a super tidy work space, and was just an absolute joy to work with. Not only did we get an incredible space from him, but we’ve gained his and Violet’s friendship, too. If you aren’t into working with super cool people and like to give out high fives, these folks might not be for you. If you are looking for a team that will design and build a dream space (or spaces!) for you and your family, Eric S. Perry Design & Build is the best out there. We wholeheartedly recommend them, without a single second of hesitation. We hope to have them back out to do a master bedroom/bathroom renovation and addition in the future, too. If you demand quality and a lasting WOW! every time you enter your space, you’ve got to get in touch with Eric and Violet. Let the team in purple help you make your renovation/new build/design planning happen!
