As a design professional that has worked with the Design Build Planners for years, I can easily give a 5-star recommendation. They are the business of “customer service” which is rare in this day and age. Drawing together a complete group of experts to execute each job, they are on top of the project the whole step of the way. This last project was no exception!!

Over the years I have had the opportunity to get to know both Jason and Neil as co-workers and competitors. Their professionalism and integrity, as well as their product knowledge, are second to none. They have insight into design, cost and budget, and I have yet to hear of a dissatisfied customer. They remain a resource for me, and I look forward to working with them in the future on other projects.

I contacted Design Build Planners to schedule a consultation prior to making a home purchase to seek advice from a professional. I spoke with Jason Parsons, who really went out of his way to answer my questions, and research the potential issues I was facing with a renovation. After explaining my concerns, Jason quickly provided several solutions, and answered unforeseen questions.
