A mixed review—great final product, terrible process. We were incredibly upfront about our budget and our priorities. We explained that the contract absolutely needed to come in below $40,000—knowing that there would be change orders and unexpected costs along the way that would likely increase that number. After some back and forth, Matt came back with some options—it came in at $47,000 but then he broke out a few "extras,", we could get it under $40,000. These “extras” were not important to us, so we were thrilled! I was out of the country at the time, but Matt told my wife that we

Outstanding service, high sense of urgency and moved quickly on my project. Love their design capabilities, flexibility and careful attention to detail. Great project management tool -- shows you how funds are spent in very clear detail. No room for error or guessing. Very helpful in helping me get project back no budget due to unexpected situations that arose and completely out of our control. I highly recommend Design First -- what a great decision to hire them for my project!!

We have used Design First for several different projects. Started with our basement, then 3 bathrooms and finally our gorgeous kitchen remodel. We couldn't be happier with the work we had done!! Design First is a class act in every way! We love Tony's great ideas and have used most of them for every project. The crew Tony has working for him is outstanding!!! Can't wait for our next project!!!! My husband and I would highly recommend Design First!!

We had a GREAT experience with Design First Builders. We gutted out first floor, walls came down, bathroom moved...complete gut job. Fully expecting the horror story that remodeling can bring, the Design First Team really takes this into account. We didn't have any major issues come up in the process and any minor issue was discussed with the Project Manager and a quick, easy solution was made. I am in the construction industry and would recommend Design First to anyone including thinking of our next project.

Design First is a great company that really cares about their clients. They have a gorgeous showroom with the best options and finishes to choose from. They even have client benefits such as free cooking classes at their onsite cooking school and it is so much fun and something no one else offers. They have great designs and beautiful work. They truly think of everything. I recommend them to anyone.

DESIGNFirst is an excellent company. Great customer service. We used them for kitchen remodel and it was fantastic. Tony designed a super functional and beautiful kitchen. I love cooking in there! Don’t even mind doing the dishes! Crews were great and any issues were quickly resolved. I would rate them a 10!
