Client Testimonials

  • “Essig Renovation and Design has done two major projects in our home (complete basement remodel and a major 2nd floor master suite project) and we’re about to do a third. These were major projects and we live in a home that is over 100-years-old, so, of course, you can imagine things popped up that weren’t ‘planned’. Essig’s team is professional, knowledgeable (specifically with older homes/architecture), respectful of your family, pets and space and, most importantly, kind, good people. I trust them fully to manage whatever is necessary until the project is complete even knowing if I’m on vacation or away, I don’t need to worry about them being in my home while I’m gone. We’ve worked with other contracting companies in the past and eventually had to break up with them for various reasons. We took a chance with Essig and don’t have any regrets!”

    — Sarah R.

  • “We have done five projects over the last five years with Essig Renovation and Design. We have been so happy with their excellent work, their attention to detail, and their responsiveness to any concerns we had, down to the smallest detail. The kindness and thoughtfulness of each crew to our family’s needs while they were working in our house was remarkable. We cannot more highly recommend ERD and their very good work.”

    — Kim G.

  • “Essig was great to work with and we are very happy with our remodeled deck. We had an excellent and very hands-on design experience prior to even committing to the project, with continued help on material selection and design details throughout. The women and men that came to do the work were professional, very friendly, happy to communicate and discuss our questions and concerns, and quite efficient. While, as with any large project, there were some communication issues, Essig was great in patiently and fairly resolving these small issues. The project came in pretty much at cost, and the company was flexible in terms of schedule for sign-offs due to some family travel on our end. Definitely recommend and will consider Essig for future projects!”

    - Katharina B.

  • "Essig has worked on two large projects in our home, and both have been executed with great craftsmanship and efficiency. Their work is beautiful and both projects stayed within budget and the general timeframe we had planned for. They've all been great to work with and we would do it again."
