They are a great company to work with from start to finish. They listen to your needs, guide you through every step and the workmen are very professional. I would highly recommend them.

ADDB redesigned my kitchen, did demo and rebuilt it in a short time with high quality work! I highly recommend them for any size job.

We renovated our kitchen and bath earlier this year, and the experience was excellent. Initial planning and design phases were thorough and the level of detail much appreciated. We love the finished product, high quality of work, and would absolutely work them with again in the future!

American Dream has done a kitchen remodel and a dental office remodel for us. The quality of the work they provide is excellent and the staff is amazing. They are friendly and they communicate well. We dealt with Scott, Amelia, Jim and Matt. Each one of them was great at their jobs and all helped us through the process. I would highly recommend them for your next remodel project and I will definitely use them again.

Great design/construction team; one-stop shopping; great communication; stayed on budget & timeline. They’ve done two projects for us: outdoor room and kitchen & bath remodel. Will definitely hire them for future projects.

American Dream Design Build made such a difference in our remodeling. As we approached designing and changing our kitchen and laundry room, my husband and I had 2 totally different styles of approaching the work. My husband easily envisioned spaces, and I took longer to think about things and make sure it’s what I wanted. We met with Jim B. and designer Michelle T. and began planning. These meetings were productive, and they showed us options. The design process truly made the kitchen and laundry room exactly what we wanted and needed. Keith, was our lead contractor and he coordinated all of the workers on the job. He was meticulous about safety and making sure things were done well. He covered the flooring, counters, and the corners of the cabinets to protect them as they worked. Every morning he answered our questions and told us what would be done that day. The crew showed excellent workmanship. They were reliable and Keith showed up on site every day exactly when he told us he would. He coordinated all the work. He also treated the other workers with respect and collaborated well with each person. He made it a harmonious work site. In our remodel, we got what we asked for at the price we were quoted and the work was completed on the date we were given. Now when people walk into our kitchen and laundry room we hear expressions of, “Oh My Gosh these rooms are beautiful!” American Dream Design Build is a special business. They are a team and each person that works there is a member. They all want the work that they do to be excellent and it shows. You become a member of that team when you work with them. At the end of our project Michelle T and photographer Leah came out to take photos. It was a special visit and I was grateful to receive a USB with the before and after photos of our project. They made sure that we knew that if we had any questions we could always call and they would be there. We couldn’t be happier with this company and our remodel.

We have partnered with American Dream Design and Build on two major remodeling projects in our North- End Tacoma home. Both projects were near flawless in concept, design and construction. We fully endorse the ADDB step-wise approach to construction and the integrity it brings to the building process. The craftsmen and design staff for both projects were top-tier professionals who treated us with respect and civility.

I paid top dollar for a small bathroom remodel which took way too long and was substandard overall. There were obvious deficiencies in the quality which were ignored by the supervisor and owner. They forgot to perform work listed on the order and all they want to do is give you a credit. They claim to have fired the flunky assigned to my project which is somehow supposed to make me feel better about the work. It doesn’t. Stay clear of any business that has you give up your right to sue! Update: Feb.27,2019 After reading my concerns above, Scott Overby-owner, came out to my home and stood tall and had all of my concerns fixed. I am now totally satisfied with the completed job. I think this is a true testament of the integrity of the owner and business in general. I would hire them again in the future.

Overall: We are very happy with the end product. The kitchen is almost exactly what I envisioned with Amelia, the designer and the only changes were for the better and are detailed below. Scott, the owner (and salesman who I first spoke to), Keith, the general on the job, and the most of subs and assistants were respectful and very competent. Their workmanship for the most part (exceptions listed below) was amazing. They were quick and the end result is extremely beautiful. Summary: though expensive, I think American Dream Design Build is worth the money spent. Details: I called American Dream Design Build in the beginning of February and Scott came to the house on February 15th. I explained the project — remove the wall between the current kitchen and what was supposed to be a dining room, remove soffits, move sliding glass door from west wall to south wall, add a window where the door used to be (matching current windows), move refrigerator down the wall, all new cabinets, lighting, counters, sink, and either all new flooring, or match current hardwood and extend it into the living room. It was a big project. Scott had a proposal for me within a week, but because of a very bad experience with my previous contractor work, I was taking a lot of bids so it was about a month before I got back to him. The first thing we did after I agreed to their bid was have their designer come in and take measurements. Amelia and Scott came, got more detail about what I was trying to do and how I use my kitchen. About a week later (mid March) Amelia had come up with two proposals. The first was based on my original design plan. It had tons of storage and fit all my criteria. The second was what she would suggest doing to make the kitchen even more user friendly. She was moving the stove and making 2 sections of over 6′ of continuous countertop. I had no idea that stoves could be moved (because of venting mostly). I loved her design and Scott said it would fit the budget so I signed off on that and we made an appointment for me to come back and approve all of the materials. Amelia came up with great colors and decorating ideas including going ahead and getting all new flooring as our previous 80’s wood floor could be hard to match, was dated, and the price difference was minimal. Work was scheduled to start on May 22nd. Scott came by with Keith who was our general contractor, and they got to work. The job was scheduled to be completed by July 17th, but Keith ended up giving it to us on the 13th though we didn’t do the walk through until the 16th. We had very few issues. The first was the drywaller; he neglected to tape his seams for some reason, had to be called back out to the job, and then still missed a seam and Keith ended up doing that. The second was that the guy scheduled to do the flooring got in an accident and wasn’t available, but Keith did it and the work looks good. The final one which was just a miscommunication was regarding the baseboard. I had talked to Amelia about having block baseboard and she seemed to understand. I thought it would be white and just a 1/2 inch wide block maybe 3 inches tall, what got installed was similar shape, but matched the color of the flooring. At first I wasn’t sure about it, but after it all got installed I realized it was absolutely perfect. The plumbers, electricians, painter, and especially the tile guys were amazing and quick. Conclusion: I would absolutely re-hire ADDB for any other remodeling projects that I have and would suggest them to anyone who was able to pay for their service. There is a premium, but I felt it was absolutely worth it. Now I need to go bake some cookies

Spoke with Andrew and he was incredibly helpful! He explained everything in detail on 3 different options for my 1960 bath tile remodel: what would be the most involved and costly to what would be quick, affordable and simpler. Cannot express how much I appreciated his information, all of the companies I had talked to before seemed like they didn’t want to say anything at all about the jobs they could or would do until i agreed to their price. Definitely will be referring to them when we save up for our full bath and kitchen remodels in the next 5 years. Also i read the google review below, it worried me a bit so I double checked her reviews and it says it all on her credibility.
