Suffridge Design & Build, Inc.

Ken and Be Kay were very patient with us as we figured out exactly what we wanted to do in outperform home remodel. They worked through designs with us, using 3-dimensional modeling to give us an idea as to what our ideas could look like, and also helped us to plan out space. Our home was about 12 years old at the time of our remodel, and we essentially gutted the entire downstairs. The team kept us informed as the project went along and helped us fix any issues that came up during the build. It was a 6 month project that was started and completed on time, and there were not many days where there was nothing happening. Even in the year+, since our job was complete, SD&B has been responsive and helpful in getting solutions to any warranty or workmanship issues. I trust Ken and Be my to do it right, or if it is not done right to help make it right.

I had four goals in the total remodel of my house which was done by Suffridge& Design: update my kitchen, make the house ADA for advanced age living, add square footage, relocate the master bedroom. All my expectations were met and exceeded by them. Both Ken and Becky were patient and listened to my ideas while keeping the budget in consideration. Together, we came up with a master plan. I am very satisfied with my "dream home" and the excellent work done by Ken and his crew. All of my friends, including those in the construction business have commented on the superb quality of work. I have no reservations in recommending Suffridge Design & Build

The home remodel that we had been dreaming about for many years also provoked some level of anxiety based on the cost of such a large project and the nightmare stories we have heard about working with contractors. When we finally secured a construction loan to do the project we went about methodically selecting the contractor to do the job. We selected Suffridge Design & Build with confidence. A colleague from work did a major home remodel a few years ago with them and had nothing but positive things to say, which helped us feel even more comfortable with a strong reference. Our project entailed a room addition, extending our master bedroom, and a variety of interior renovations (e.g., re-positioning openings, moving a window, covering up an ugly and unused fireplace, etc.). Ken and Becky from Suffridge Design & Build were highly professional, patient, honest, and communicative every step of the process. The design-build approach meant that we were able to work with them to design our remodel with their expertise and experience informing our options and decisions. Once the project started they communicated with us on a daily basis about the status of the project, what would be coming up next, and consulting about any questions that inevitably arise as the project proceeds (e.g., where specifically do we want electrical outlets placed, air vents placed, recessed lighting placed, etc.). If there is one thing that I have heard is problematic with contractors and clients it is lack of communication. This was not the case at all with Suffridge. Since this was a one time remodel to essentially re-make our house into what we really wanted, as opposed to what it was when we bought it, we wanted to get it right. The quality and workmanship of our project was excellent. Ken ensures that all workers are professional, considerate of the homeowners, and do excellent work in their specializations. The project was expensive, as any remodel of this scale would be, but it was not as expensive as many of the bids we received. Most importantly, it was exactly what was quoted. Other nightmare stories about working with contractors is constantly escalating costs that take a project way beyond what was originally quoted. Ken Suffridge let us know what the unknowns might be that could impact the cost -- things that are discovered after walls are taken down and infrastructure is more readily observable -- and when in the process that might come up. There were no surprises, which was lucky for us since we have an older home. In the end, not only was the original estimate on target we even received a few refunds along the way when anticipated costs ended up being slightly less. In summary, Suffridge Design & Build was the best choice we could have made for our home renovation. The outcome of the project was essentially a new house and the one we had dreamed of for years. Our beautiful new house also fell within the budget, was done slightly earlier than anticipated, and increased both the value and comfort of our home tremendously. The nightmare stories of home remodels and contractors turned out to be the opposite for us. We are happy to give Suffridge Design & Build our strongest endorsement!

From the first time we met Becky and Ken at the Home Show in San Diego, there integrity and commitment to the completion of the project was evident. They listened, heard our ideas and expectations and created a design that was exactly what we dreamed of. Their project manager and team of subcontractors were professional, respectful and always on schedule. Every step of the project was predicable and without surprises and finished ahead of schedule. We feel very fortunate to have found Suffridge Design and Build, Inc to complete our kitchen, open concept main floor living space.

We considered remodeling for several years, but every time we started down that path we realized none of the contractors we were speaking with had caught our vision. That all changed when we met with Ken and Becky Suffridge. They understood what we wanted, and when we didn't know exactly what we wanted, they walked alongside us and provided excellent professional advice and resources. We were very pleased with the quality of their work and would highly recommend Suffridge Design to anyone considering a remodel. We have heard numerous remodel horror stories, however ours was nothing but a pleasant and exciting experience. It's now almost 3 years since our project was completed and we still look around us and say "wow". The Suffridge's gave us a gift that just keeps on giving, and we enjoy it on a daily basis.

Working with Ken and Becky was an awesome experience. They communicate every step of the way, were flexible with changes that we made mid-project and ensured that we were happy with each step of the project. The crew was respectful and cleaned their work area every afternoon before leaving the job site (our home). I would highly recommend them and have already done so to many neighbors!

We strongly recommend the services of Suffridge Design and Build. We were so impressed with the work performed on our master suite addition that, when that project was not yet completed, we authorized a complete kitchen renovation - a second project that also turned out beautifully! We are grateful for all of Ken and Becky's hard work, dedication, planning, organizing, expert advice and abundance of pertinent knowledge. They managed to make our addition and renovation easy, fun and exciting. Both projects were well planned, on time, on budget and finished to perfection with a fine attention to detail. We are very happy with the addition of our master suite and kitchen renovation and look forward to other home renovation projects with Suffridge Design and Build in the future.
