Inspirational Design & Construction

Did what they said. Shot straight with what they said. Explained well. Answered all questions without skirting any topic. Ed and Dawn both were fantastic.

I hired Interior Design Construction Services (IDC Services LLC.) and its manager Ed Trevisani because I was looking for a complete “soup to nuts” interior remodel of my 36 year old townhouse (that I bought 21 years ago). This remodel included makeovers of the kitchen, three bathrooms, flooring throughout, plumbing and electrical upgrades and painting. The IDC crew did most of the work, but they also coordinated the work done by other subcontractors (e.g. electrical, flooring and painting). One important consideration in selecting this group was in their initial quote presentation. It was very detailed with specific allowances for materials (cabinetry, flooring, countertops, etc.). So, when I chose different materials, the cost differences were very transparent. In addition, when I decided to do some “upgrades,” he gave me both pros and cons to these choices, but the final choice was always mine and to say I was happy with the end result would be an understatement. Now my townhouse is modern, yet timeless; it is open and airy and, I think, very striking. All of this work was done while I continued to live in the townhouse. His group did a great job of coordinating the work while being respectful of my schedule and space.

Ed Trevisani (owner of the company) far exceeded our expectations. He took the architect's blue print and proceeded to work with the township and his team to tear off the upper half of the house (upper duplex unit) and rebuild it into a far better building than was there previously without damaging the lower half of the house (lower duplex unit). He did a phenomenal job of removing the upper half of the house, having a new half of a house framed on top of the lower section. He worked closely with my wife and I in the design of the unit, selection of materials (flooring, cabinets, countertop, lighting, etc.). My wife is very particular, and Ed did a great job of working with her to select colors and material that was both cost effective for a rental unit, is durable and looks current. Ed also worked on making improvements in the lower unit that is older. He managed the electrical re-wiring, code upgrades, redesign of the kitchen, replacement of ceilings, floor. He also took the initiative to have his team clean out the basement as I discussed with him my desire to clean it out when I visited the construction site. The basement was cleaned out and he made a number of surprise improvements to the basement. He installed multiple fluorescent lights to brighten up the basement, put down interconnected rubber mats to make is easy for the future tenant to go from the bottom of the basement steps to the washer and dryer, moved the washer and dryer to a location in the basement that was brighter and had greater head room clearance (previously you had to duck under an air duct pipe), he moved the hot water heaters to make them more efficient getting hot water to both upstairs units. Ed also surprised us by replacing the traditional lights in the front and back of the house with LEDs. These were pleasant surprises and improvements that Ed did without charging us additionally. I could go on sharing was a great experience it was working with Ed. This was a big project and with my wife and I living out of town, it takes a lot of trust and communication. I can only restate that Ed exceeded our expectations and we have a newly built upper duplex unit (2 bedroom and one bath) and a greatly improved lower unit duplex (also 2 bedroom and one bath). My wife and I are happy to be a reference and share additional pictures.

IDC did a superb job on our entire kitchen renovation. From the very start of the demolition everything was done efficiently, and any obstructions they found along the way were resolved without much difficulty. The workers were very polite and personable. They were timely and all the work that was performed was completed within the schedule that was presented to us. They were detailed oriented and they took pride in their craftsmanship. Our job presented some challenges as far as removing the existing hardwood flooring and then relaying it back down again. Ed was in constant contact with us and was here everyday to assure that the work was being done accordingly to the plans. We also appreciated listening and using his designer’s ideas and suggestions. Ed is a great communicator and stands by his word and work. I would highly recommend Ed and his staff to anyone looking for a home improvement.

At the recommendation of fellow neighbor, we contracted Trevisani Construction Management to repair major structural damage to our home. Within a few days of meeting Ed, he assessed the work needed and provided a comprehensive, fairly priced remediation plan. Ed did a thorough job documenting all stages of the repair work. He even took time to take pictures supporting the “Before and After” views. Ed’s entire team were wonderful. They were professional, dependable and respectful of my entire family. There were days I would work from home and if not for the sound of the tools in action, I would forget they were there. Clean-up was always a priority for them which we really appreciated! Going forward, Ed and his team are our “go to” crew for all our home remodeling and repair needs. It is great to have a local company who takes the time to understand the project, details out the plan and delivers top quality work! Thank you to all at Trevisani Construction Management Company!

The project involved the complete renovation of a one-bedroom apartment, from bare studs to luxury accommodation, including some structural work. Ed was instrumental in bringing the project to a successful close. He was very concerned about quality and ensured the same of his employees and subcontractors. He was open to suggestions and made his own recommendations at every stage of the project. Late changes did not phase him. He and his people were always friendly, helpful and professional, and easy to get along with. We were very happy with the result and highly recommend him.

I have been using Inspirational Design & Construction for the past three years to renovate my historic home. The work is top notch and the workers are respectful, courteous, and professional. The owner is always involved in the work, is readily accessible, and always checks the quality of work being done to ensure quality.
