Oracle Design + Build

We asked Oracle to enlarge and completely renovate our small master bath. We were able to enlarge the room by expanding into a closet area from an adjoining bedroom. We also asked them to refinish the adjoining bedroom and build a new closet space to replace the original closet. During the planning stage, Chris was very careful and thorough in making sure that it would be possible to do what we wanted to do. The plan involved major plumbing, framing, and finish work, including moving the toilet and building a new shower in the former closet area. Chris’ experience in the field proved to be a great asset as he was able to steer us away from choices that would have caused problems or would not have worked well. Caroline provided great design advice and help in choosing fixtures, tiles, and finishes, all of which contributed to a beautiful, cohesive look. The Oracle teams were very professional and their work was excellent. Team members clearly took pride in their work and the results reflected that. They were friendly and respectful and were careful to protect our home. They covered all the surfaces and everything in and around the areas where they were working and they completely cleaned up at the end of each day. Chris monitored the progress throughout the course of the project to make sure that everything was on track and he quickly addressed any issues that arose. He always kept us informed about the work schedule and when inspectors would arrive. The work was completed on schedule, just as promised. We’re delighted with our new master bath and refinished bedroom. We will certainly use Oracle again for future projects.

We have worked with Chris and Caroline on several major renovation projects to our home. They've done a major renovation of our master bedroom where we changed our sitting room and tiny master bath into a walk-in closet, double vanity and huge shower. They also completely updated the kids' bathroom and we are beyond pleased with the result! Our latest project was updating our basement, which turned out beautifully! We absolutely recommend Oracle Design if you are considering any size of remodel to your home!! When we did our first project, we decided to work with Chris and Caroline because they were as invested in our project as we were! They wanted our results to be a reflection of who we are while showcasing their capabilities. We were not disappointed! No matter if you've done this before or are new to remodeling, Chris and Caroline will help you from beginning to end with all the choices, big and small. They have worked with their vendors for years and have a great list of reasonably priced, high-quality products. When we went to the stores to look at products, we felt welcomed as soon as we mentioned their names because Chris and Caroline take time to build relationships. We loved the crews who worked on our projects. They were consummate professionals! They respected our living spaces while working and each day they cleaned up after themselves, so we never felt as if we were living in a construction zone. Each day they swept, wiped, and otherwise cleaned up. They were friendly and answered our questions. They seemed to really enjoy their job and their craftsmanship shows through in the final products. As they were working through our first remodel, they discovered some issues with our home that no one could have known about. It was probably poor construction from when our home was originally built. Those issues, of course added to the cost of the project, but the prices to fix the issues were very competitive and we felt comfortable having them fix things because we knew it would be done right! We came in close to our original cost, only going over because of poor original construction and additions we wanted as we moved forward. What was so wonderful is that our work was done when they said it would be done. Again, since we had a couple of issues and asked for things to be done, it took longer than originally planned, but it was done by the amended time they projected. Every inspection and walk through were quick because they had done things right the first time. This meant our projects moved forward quickly. We highly recommend Oracle Design. Chris and Caroline understand what people need, are willing to work with your design needs/wants and they try to stick as close as possible to the cost. Their crews are friendly, professional and do beautiful work! We have recommended them to anyone considering remodeling work because we know they will be so pleased with the results!

We have worked with Chris and Caroline on projects related to aging in place. These included expanding and redesigning a master bath, moving, removing a spa tub and reconfiguring the area into a new laundry room, and redesigning the old laundry space with surrounding shiplath walls. They have been wonderful to work with. They were very responsive to our wishes and taste and used a very talented team of professionals. They were quick to reply to phone calls, texts, and emails. The quality of work was excellent. They obviously took great pride in their work. Their workers were on time, and cleaned up afterwards. Materials were high grade. The completed custom design is beautiful and will greatly enhance our abilities as we grown older. We look forward to working with them in the future.

My husband and I are preparing to retire, and we decided to remodel our master bathroom so that it made better use of the space and was easier to clean. We hired Caroline and Chris to design and build this project. They exceeded our expectations every step of the way. Caroline drew up the plans that made the space ADA compliant, created more storage, and gave us a much larger shower. Caroline also has an eye for the aesthetics of the finished space and introduced me to selections of tile, cabinetry, flooring, vanity tops, and paint colors that I had never considered but chose because they were superior to anything I came up with. Chris and his highly skilled teams are detail oriented and work efficiently to complete the project. Chris stopped by the worksite regularly, kept me informed of where we were in the process, and answered all my questions. This was invaluable to people like my husband and me who never went through a major remodel. It was a truly positive experience working with Caroline and Chris, and we now have the master bath that we always wanted.

We had an idea of what we wanted for our new kitchen, but Caroline added great touches and advice to make our kitchen a wow project. Chris and his team were fantastic with removing the old kitchen and putting in the new one. He was really responsive when we had questions or needed to make a change. Most importantly to us, the project finished on time without any budget surprises. We'll be using Caroline and Chris for our next project - and we've recommended them to our neighbors, too.
