★★★★★ 5.0 from 6 client reviews
"I loved our experience with McKelvey Designs in 2013. We had our master bath redone. I still love the work. They worked with me throughout the whole project to stay on our budget and get what we wanted. The tile work and woodworking crew were outstanding."
"They are very professional and their help is very courteous. I would highly recommend McKelvey Designs for any work that you would like done."
"We have used McKelvey Designs for four projects in two different houses and have been nothing but pleased with their work. They really listen to you and help you make choices that you will be happy with long-term."
"Ron and Debbie have done several projects for us, ranging from optional bathroom remodeling to complete post-Harvey rebuild. We will definitely use them again in the future."
"Their work crews have been with them for a long time and are tidy, timely, polite and trustworthy. We highly recommend them."
"Ron is amenable to changes and helps you find the most cost-effective and practical solutions."
