TESTIMONIALS
“We presented Brian with a very complicated project, expanding the second floor of an 1910 era house that had been converted into a duplex. We described what we liked about our 2nd floor apartment and what we were looking for from the expansion. Brian’s design and ultimate construction was everything we were looking for ... and more. It’s been 6 years since we moved back in after the construction and we are still happy with the result. The quality of the construction was first rate and he finished the job on time. It was a pleasure to work with him.”
“Van Zandt Design Build renovated our Capitol Hill house. We are really pleased with all aspects of the design and construction. Van Zandt’s integrated design-build approach ensured that we had a single point of contact who understood and was accountable for every project detail. We enjoyed the collaborative design process, and Van Zandt helped us come up with many ideas that greatly improved the project while reducing its cost. The construction phase was smooth and efficient: Van Zandt finished the job on time and on budget. We highly recommend Van Zandt!”
“I just wanted to tell you how much we have appreciated all you’ve done for us. Obviously, we now get to live in this beautiful home because of you, but we feel very fortunate in having someone who is so easy, nice, and helpful to have worked with us all this time.”
“Working with Van Zandt on our remodel was a wonderful experience. We began the project with a rough idea of what we wanted and a fairly tight budget to work with. We finished with a beautiful new home that meets all of our needs and far exceeds our expectation of the outcome. Much of the success of this project is due to Van Zandt’s willingness to collaborate with us, while gently pointing us in the right direction. Their ability to deliver top-notch craftsmanship in a timely manner and within our budget is remarkable. We cannot recommend them highly enough.”
“Susan and I were taken aback by every aspect of the job you had done. The projectwas splendid. You felt comfortable, welcome, and warm. We marveled at the craftsmanship…While the results were spectacular, we were even more impressed with…the professionalism your firm demonstrated throughout the project.”
