Testimonials

“I would recommend Chads Design Build to friends without hesitation. From beginning to end of the project we received daily updates and always were informed of when the builders, etc. would arrive and what was to be worked on. Communication was excellent. Problems or questions were addressed immediately. The work site was always cleaned up after each day's work. All debris that could be recycled was recycled. The workmanship was excellent and we are well pleased with the results. More than met our expectations. We are already thinking about the next project, bathroom remodel, and will be calling Chads Design Build within a few months.”
