A1DesignBuild

We did a major outdoor remodel to facilitate our big dog. The design process all the way to the finished product was amazing. Working on our second project with a A1 now. Wouldn’t trust anyone else with our home projects!

When you buy the perfect house, but the bathrooms are 20 years old – you plan for the perfect ensuite remodel we knew would be a total gut job. After considering several companies, we hired AIDesignBuild Coop for the project. What initially attracted us to this local Bellingham company is their focus on sustainability, community, local contractors and their upfront acknowledgement that they do a handful of jobs a year because they are relatively small. The design and build work are handled within the same group which gave us complete confidence in the accountability of all involved. The design process was so thoughtful that we only made 2 small tweaks in the space. As we went through the build, I realized that we knew at least half the staff by name and face and I appreciate that they are

A1 recently completed a renovation at my home that touched every room and most major systems. I appreciated their attention to each stage of the project and was very happy that a great initial design meant no costly change orders - good for my strict budget. Further, the team went above and beyond to work around myself and my animals during the renovation, (the dog was fine, but the cats...). It was the best experience one could hope for with a project of this scope. Most other reviewers have touched upon A1's excellent work and support. While I concur with those reviews, I would like to mention their excellence in communication/problem solving as well. For a project of this scope, both in terms of amount of work and time involved, there will be mistakes, misunderstandings, etc., such

A1 saved our cabin. They were able to complete the remodeling from redesign, purchasing, construction, and final touches. They have the personal and construction expertise. A1 completed a very complex reconstruction. Everything went as planned. Amazing attention to detail. No unforeseen problems. Excellent communication. End result was a high quality jewel box. Doubled the value of the home. Highly recommended. Love their business model also.

A1 was a good partner in the design of my remodel and were well organized, efficient, and helpful during the building phase. My A1 team members provided regular, clear communication, helped me stay on track with my necessary contributions, and treated me with respect and consideration. Project Manager Thad worked out safe and secure workarounds so we could stay in the home as much as possible during construction, and adapted my real-time tweaks to work with the plans and code requirements. I'm pleased that the warantee will take care of anything not quite right now that the work is done. Thanks, A1.
