DreamBuilders did a fairly extensive remodel of our home (master bath remodel, new kitchen, and new fireplace wall/entertainment area in our great room) and we couldn't be happier with the results! Kathe and Leah led the design process and Mike led the construction process.
We met with the whole team to start. They began the process by taking the time to understand the features and functionality we were looking for in our design, as well as the style that best suited our taste and lifestyle. We spent several weeks coming up with a preliminary (though very detailed) design, and from that, DreamBuilders was able to provide a three-level cost estimate of each component of our project (Good/Better/Best). We were then able to make a final decision regarding which design aspects, materials and finishes we wanted to go with based on the cost estimate they provided.
Kathe and Leah’s knowledge, expertise, and design sense were superb. Their expertise was critical in helping us narrow down the countless design options to some manageable choices that perfectly met our taste and requirements. They provided us with numerous wonderful design ideas, yet also encouraged and welcomed our own design input as well. As this process evolved, their knowledge of what design aspects would and wouldn't work was critical. There were even a few situations where we requested a particularly challenging design component, and rather than suggesting we go a different (easier) direction, the whole team went above and beyond to come up with a solution to the design challenge that allowed us to have the features we were looking for.
Once the design process was finalized, the construction timeline was developed. The project was scheduled to take 14 weeks which seemed quite fast to us, given the size of the project. Mike developed a construction calendar that let us know what would be happening on each day. We were skeptical that such a tight schedule could be followed, but we were pleasantly surprised that they were nearly always on schedule. And when they weren’t, it was usually because they were a day or two ahead of schedule with some aspect of the project! Mike definitely runs a tight ship! The quality of the work that was performed from all of the trades was very high, and they worked well together when that was necessary. Mike was on-site at least once each day during the 14-week project. He was very proactive during the whole process and was always more than willing to take care of any issues that we noted during construction. No detail was too small to bring up and it was always met with “we’ll take care of it!” Their follow-up after the project was complete was wonderful as well. We had a few very minor issues after the project was completed (all very normal stuff), and all we needed to do was mention it and Mike immediately had someone out here to resolve it.
Working with DreamBuilders was a great decision. They made the whole process as painless and stress-free as possible, and we absolutely love the final results. They simply did a great job! We would absolutely use them again.

Mike, Kathe and Leah exceeded our expectations for our recent major kitchen/dining/living remodel. They are design/builders and they do quality work that was on schedule and on budget. Their subs have been with them many years and are meticulous in their work. The subs cleaned up each day after they were finished. DreamBuilders provided a daily report and are very good about keeping us informed as to progress.

We cannot thank you enough for the work you have done in our home. It came out incredible, beyond our wildest dream.
Mike the quote you gave us for the whole project was very accurate. Your dedication and integrity with the whole process is commendable.
Kathe and Leah you have worked closely and patiently with us knowing well that we intend to adhere to our budget without compromising the quality of the finished product.
Your workers are very courteous, efficient and very patient with our inquisitive nature. Since we live on site while the house is being remodeled we have observed their performance and attention to details especially Jason and Justin, from Owen's Construction. They all take pride in their work and it showed.
You have transformed our broken house into a beautiful home we can be proud of. You sure made our family very happy and content this holiday season.
With that being said, we're more than glad to highly recommend your company to friends, families and to whoever wants to do the same undertaking as we did. Thanks again for working so hard in building our dream home.
Forever grateful,
Daniel & Helen Diego

We hired this company 2 years ago to do an extensive remodel of our kitchen and family room. We were so pleased that we are hiring them again to do some work in our dining/living room. We're having a buffet with granite top and glass doored wall cabinets installed. paint, carpet, baseboard and dualpaned windows. They are also going to install the same granite on 2 "pony" walls and as windowsills on full length windows in the living room. We are set to do this project in late Sept. They have been very supportive in decision making and alternatives.

Dreambuilders redesigned our kitchen to be an integral part of our living and dining space.
The design team of Kathe, Lea, and Mike listened to our ideas and enhanced them with their experience. Our previous kitchen remodel was not our dream kitchen due to a lack of communication between us and the contractors. Dreambuilders walked us through the planning and construction phase, paying attention to all our concerns, validating and expanding our vision of what was possible. When issues arose they were quickly addressed by Mike and his team, and resolved to our satisfaction. The subcontractors were professional and respectful with their work. The Dream Builders team took what we thought was a small galley kitchen with limited potential into an amazing gathering place for ourselves, friends and family.

Mike, Kathe, Paul and the entire team were very well organized and professional throughout the whole process. Our particular project spanned a few years from conception, to us saving up enough money/financing the project, to actually executing. Through it all, the team was very patient and professional to us. They listened well to our needs and showed great creativity and ingenuity in the design and execution of the project.
Not only is the kitchen design, beautiful and so functional; but the project made our whole house more usable and functional as well. Every morning when I wake up, I walk into that space and am in awe of the final product and I think happy thoughts of not only Dream Builders but the entire crew that they employed. I feel so lucky to have such a nice, well- built space. I would be happy to recommend Dream Builders who anyone who is in need of a home project.

Dreambuilders performed a kitchen and living room remodel for our house. Their vision of how your space can be utilized is second to none. They put a lot of attention to detail in ensuring you have an amazing space upon completion.
Their contractors are respectful, fast and do amazing work.
Best contracting experience ever!

My husband and I attended a remodeling seminar at the Dream Builders office and we were hooked on Mike and Kathe! Between the two of them, they handled our entire master bath remodel without a hitch! Kathe was so great with her help on design! She knew my style immediately and was able to streamline the design process by pre-selecting options for us making our design decisions so easy! Mike handled all of the detailed plans for construction and had a calm confidence about the entire process. The entire crew was great, arriving on time, keeping us informed of progress and schedules, and keeping the construction environment clean. The finished product is amazing! We love it, and will hire Dream Builders again for our next project.

We had a very good experience with DreamBuilders. Mike provided a clear picture of our remodeling process, and remained closely involved with the project to completion. A year late we had a problem with one of the appliances in our kitchen, and he replaced it immediately per our guarantee. We would use him again.

DreamBuilders did a major remodel project for us. They designed a beautiful kitchen and family room and installed hard wood floors. They take the time to find out your wishes and needs, are interested in your ideas, are easy to work with and are very professional. There were no hidden costs or fees, the project was finished on time and on budget. We were very comfortable with all the contractors who worked on the remodel, they were professional and trustworthy. We constantly receive compliments on how beautiful our home is and we are happy to recommend DreamBuilders to all who ask.

These folks truly were Dream Builders. They listened to me and got me what I wanted -- or pointed out some reasons why what I wanted probably would not work as I intended. Kathe, the designer, guided me to the look I knew I wanted but was unable to articulate. Mike, the general contractor, was extremely organized and kept to schedule and budget and Paul, the site supervisor, went above and beyond his job description! I heard about this company because they remodeled my sister's home. I watch a lot of HGTV and DIY; my sister said Mike Russell and DreamBuilders was as good as Mike Holmes and it is true! Now my niece and her husband are using DreamBuilders. They must be doing something right since 3 houses in the same family are using their company.

Thank you Chris! We're so happy that you love your new home! it was great working with you!
Dream Builders Home Remodeling was a perfect fit for our project. New kitchen,they had to move a wall and a new bathroom. The team at Dream Builders listened to all of our must haves and budget and then the magic happened. Everything was very detailed with the presentation, the contract, we got a profile of what was going to happen on each and everyday and they where true to their word. We met everyone who was going to work on the house before the project started. They started and finished the job exactly when they said. I would have Dream Builders back in a hart beat to work on another project in our home. Thank you Kathie and Mike for all your help.
