Fall 2009 Remodelers
Showcase
They recently decided the house was dated, but liked the neighborhood and knew the landscaping would be difficult and expensive to duplicate, so they decided to remodel rather than move. A previous Remodeler’s Showcase sold them Bob and Jennie had met James Barton Design Build at a earlier Remodeler’s Showcase. “We felt a connection with JBDB and the crew. Everyone was very personable. Their work was exceptional. Choosing them was a no-brainer for us,” Jennie said. Bob knew from the landscaping project the importance of design-build, with “one point of contact to handle the entire project.” He liked James and Tamra and the fact that they knew the community and “understood how to provide high quality at a very fair value.” JBDB made their dreams come true Jennie wanted their home to feel like a brand new house. They wanted to open up the main floor and have one large space for entertaining. Both Jennie and Bob appreciate everything JBDB did to make their dreams even better. “They took our ideas and perfected them,” said Jennie. “Like the fireplace. Tamra came up with the bay fireplace that we can see from three sides. It’s the highlight of the whole space.” Bob appreciated the way Jennie and Tamra worked together. “My job was easy — I liked everything they selected,” he said. “Tamra was a joy to work with,” Jennie added. “She provided the guidance I needed for selecting the products and, in the end, everything came together beautifully.” The process went extremely well, said the McCarthy’s, who were impressed with the way JBDB handled the unexpected things that inevitably come up. “They always put our satisfaction and needs first, which we think is a sign of an exceptional remodeler.” “It was much easier than I thought it would be,” added Bob. “In my work with the Rosemount High School football team, we spend a lot of time talking about being a team and working together to achieve the common goal of excellence. JBDB is just that kind of team.” Would they recommend James Barton Design-Build? “Yes! In a heartbeat!” |
