What Our Clients Say

I'm really enjoying the extensive remodeling of my house (design through construction) by House to Home (H2H), especially my master bathroom, kitchen, and open living space, which were all reconfigured and were the main sub-projects (besides all new roof, windows, flooring, lighting, cabinetry, appliances, etc., all recommended and supplied through H2H). All the major design changes, down to the minor in-process changes/adaptations that were necessary due to unforeseen issues turned out more satisfying than originally planned. Having a single-contact project manager at H2H overseeing all the work from beginning to end also made it much simpler and easier for me throughout the process. I wouldn't hesitate to use H2H again for any future project.
(Note: I waited six months after project completion before writing this review in order to provide feedback based on living in the remodeled house.)

Richard L.

House to Home just finished a complete remodel of our master bathroom. All of the workers on the job were very professional and a pleasure to have working in our house. They were also very anxious to have the end product completed in accordance with our wishes and the design. The pricing of their services was reasonable with no surprises. We are very happy with our new bathroom!

Duane D.

I had a wonderful experience working with House to Home. I had very specific design requirements and a vision for creating my ideal shower and they worked with me every step of the day. Every part of the crew from the designers to the builders and project leads were very professional, communicative, and helpful in my project. Raquel and Steve in particular were fantastic at helping me and answered all questions I had. They were very honest about the timeline and delivered what they promised. I would recommend them to anyone.

Adam G.

House to Home did an outstanding job on our whole house remodel. John, Garrett and the team were responsive and great to work with and we now consider them our go to contractors. The workmanship was excellent and they kept us informed along the way. This was our first experience with a remodel and we realized how fortunate we were to partner with H2H after meeting and getting quotes from several other contractors. They are a pleasure to work with even when normal remodeling challenges occurred. Great customer service isn't about not having challenges - it's about how those challenges are handled. John and the team handled any challenges that came up with grace, professionalism, competence and friendliness. They were committed to ensuring we were happy with the outcome no matter what. We highly recommend House to Home.

Lisa W.

House to Home remodeled our 2 kid’s bedrooms and playroom, and added 2 new bathrooms. The work was done professionally, on schedule, and with quality craftsmanship.Our job foreman (Pat McCaroll) was excellent. He visited the project almost daily and made sure his guys and the sub-contractors were held to a high standard. They cleaned up after themselves daily and did their best to limit the disruption to our home. The owner (John Hayes) was always available to discuss any concerns and make sure our expectations were being met.

Pat K.

House to Home has done many projects at my private residence, they were always on time and on budget. The crew work very well together which I think says a lot about them. The biggest kudos I can give is their follow up. I have had a couple of issues way after the completion and they, without hesitation, got on the problem and corrected it ASAP.I have had experience with other contractors but none as complete as House to Home.I very much recommend them and I will continue to use them.

Jeff F.

I hired House to Home Remodeling and Design, to assist in the design and remodel of our kitchen. The owner John and his crew were very helpful and professional throughout the process.

Why should I choose a design build firm?

A design build firm has many advantages. A few of the main advantages are taking a “master builder” approach where all the work is done by one team, there is a single point of contact/responsibility, work is done faster and more efficiently, a more cohesive team, less conflicts and more likely to stay on budget.

Is design build cheaper than the traditional design, bid, build model?

Yes. On average design build costs 3-6% less than the traditional model making it an even more appealing route to take for your new home project.

Will I need to hire other contractors or sub contractors on my project?

No. With House to Home and our design build approach we will handle everything. That is one of the advantages of working with a design build firm.
