When we bought our home in 2005, we knew it needed a complete kitchen remodel. It took us several years to decide on a design concept, and our list of must-haves was lengthy. We knew the project would be well beyond our own capabilities to manage, but we didn't want to entrust the process to just anyone. That's where Synergy came in.
From the moment we met Mina, Mark and their team, we knew they were our choice. They took the time to understand our taste, our lifestyle, and our personalities, and helped us bring a very lofty vision to life. They communicated with us every step of the way, helped us manage through the inevitable bumps in the road, and ultimately delivered to us a
jaw-dropping, stunning kitchen that made us fall in love with our home all over again. We couldn't be more thrilled with the result, nor the experience we had working with Synergy.
My husband and I engaged Synergy to help us plan our custom home project. We were debating between design/build and hiring an architect. We were also speaking directly with builders. Their team was deeply knowledgeable about the entire process and very professional throughout. We are completely convinced they saved us from making a major misstep in our construction project.
In addition, each member of the Synergy team was a pleasure to deal with. We continue to use them as a trusted and valuable resource for our home's projects and I would not hesitate to recommend engaging them for your project.
It has been two and a half months since our kitchen and attached screened porch were completed and we still cannot believe that this is our space! We would not change one thing! The Synergy team took our three pages of random notes and turned them in to the kitchen and porch of our dreams. They are true professionals! From the initial design phase to the selection process to the final installation they were with us all the way. They listened to us and were able to reach inside our heads, help us envision what we wanted and turned that vision into reality...The most important thing - they truly cared about us and our project and it showed. Thank you, thank you, and thank you!
Well first let us just say "Wow", we LOVE our new kitchen. Every time we slice apples or make chili on our magnificent stove, we feel lucky! The craftsmanship is excellent and we can tell the design will hold up gorgeously against years of energetic use.
With this being our first major home renovation, we really did not know what to expect. Synergy D&C helped make this project so easy and seamless, while at the same time providing TLC to our new kitchen. From our initial consultation with Synergy to our final walk through, we felt 100% in-tuned and satisfied with Mina and the Synergy team.
Synergy took the time to fully understand and help implement our kitchen design with our personal style throughout the house, while staying within our budget. They made this happen by sitting down with us and understanding us as individuals and as a couple. This helped to ensure our kitchen design vision was clear.
We now have a beautiful kitchen that we can showoff to our family and friends. We also have developed a great new relationship on a business and personal level with the entire Synergy D&C team.
Not only did Synergy D & C educate us throughout the process; they respected and included us in every decision. They are extremely knowledgeable, trustworthy, highly skilled and experienced and we have recommended them to everyone we know.
Thanks Again!
Synergy D&C played a key role to make our entire home renovation as successful, enjoyable and painless as possible. From the very first inquiry to the end of the process, it was a joy to work with Mina, Mark and their excellent team of professionals. Their level of professionalism, experience, timeliness, straight forwardness and certainly sense of humor helped us learn and easily navigate through what could have been a complex and potentially frustrating process. We are now enjoying our newly renovated home and if we ever have to renovate another house we would undoubtedly work with them again.
Dear Mark and Mina,
Now that the renovation of our kitchen is complete and we have had the opportunity to use it to its fullest, I wanted to pass along to you our thanks for helping us achieve our goal of having an outstanding updated kitchen and tell you what a pleasure it was to have worked with Synergy D&C. Starting with the beginning of our process, through the contract negotiations, and all throughout the project, you and your team were professional, thorough, and most of all, easy to work with.
You delivered exactly what you promised painlessly!
We will be adding your firm to our neighborhood contractor referral list, as we are pleased to share our positive experience with others.
Thank you to the Synergy team for all the great work on designing our perfect European kitchen. We certainly put everyone to the test, deciding to undertake this project while five months pregnant - with twins! Not only did Synergy work with us to ensure the project was completed on time, they stuck to it despite an unforeseen electrical set back (which is just as well as the twins decided to arrive 6 ½ weeks early....) We are very happy with our new contemporary but family friendly kitchen and love the clean lines, large island, and beautiful tile. Our twin girls love it too but have yet to make us dinner!
Before working with Synergy D&C, we spent a lot of time meeting
with contractors who gave us pricing all over the place (we
received "quotes" ranging from $40k to $85k). Synergy not only
helped us design our ideal bathroom, but they bid our project
out to three general contractors. Their process allowed us to
compare each contractor equally and all three bids came in very
close to each other - we knew we had the best price before ever
starting construction.
Thank you Synergy D&C for a job well done.
I am so glad I called Synergy Design and Construction for help. We had gone around and around imagining how to renovate our kitchen for years. Synergy provided the service that enabled us to get going and actually do it. What appealed to me was that:
- They are a local company
- They know the contractors and shop the job out to firms that they trust, and
- The contractors are all bidding on the same design, so it’s easy to compare the bids.
Working with Mark and Mina was a pleasure from start to finish. Each is responsive, down to earth, professional and personable. I always felt like our satisfaction was their first priority. We kept working with the design until we knew it was right for us. They stayed in touch with the job as it was being built and indeed caught a problem that we were not aware of, ensuring that it got corrected in a timely manner. Mark went the extra mile with a vendor when a product was not as expected so that we received credit for it and ended up with something more to our liking.
We wholeheartedly recommend Synergy’s services to anyone needing help with a design project.
The kitchen is built and we love it!
I would like to thank Synergy Design and Construction for the fantastic job done on the design and architecture of our recently completed finished basement. We asked Mina and her team to come up with a contemporary design that would create a real "Wow" factor for everyone who enters the basement, and would truly make the basement a lower living space rather than just a basement. The design that Synergy came up with accomplished that in spades! From the overall layout, to the architectural details, to the products recommended for that extra special look, everything was perfect! And, we especially appreciated the attention and oversight provided by Synergy during the construction phase as changes were made along the way. We could not be happier with the outcome since we achieved our goal - every guest who has entered our lower level has exclaimed “WOW!”
Mina helped design the remodeling of our basement-- a complicated project which involved dropping the level of the floors (digging out) so that we no longer crouch under 6' high ceilings and crack our heads on the heat vents, but rather can stand straight and proud and barely touch the ceilings; moving an HVAC unit away from the center of the room (and the subsequent rearranging of venting); sticking to a tight budget; attempting to realize pipe dreams, and working with a self-identified "high maintenance" client. Oh. And we signed the paperwork hours before we left the country for three months--it was all to start while we were away. She did a wonderful job. Period. She did a wonderful job with listening, and looking at the rest of our house to see what we are all about, she did a wonderful job then with the design, (both in making suggestions and in making our ideas come to life), as well as with helping us find contractors that were right for the job (in our case, not the first people that we met with--and though we didn't know it wasn't a good match, she did, and for that reason, we hired her). We trusted her from the start, and rightly so. We feel that she was on our side, and though we know that we were paying clients, we really felt that a primary goal for her was to see us happy in the end. We are very happy with the way the basement turned out and with the work of the contractors, who were a pleasure to have in our home daily for many months. We appreciate Mina's help. She went the extra mile to make sure that the basement turned out in a way that reflected our personal style. Any future work we will be lucky enough to undertake, will be with Mina, if she will have us!"
Mina is a true professional. The design presented to us was exactly what we were looking to achieve. Mina respects her clients and values input based on how the design incorporates their lifestyle. Mina promptly returns emails, telephone calls, etc. and is always available to respond. We never felt ignored or uneasy that a request would not be fulfilled. I highly recommend Synergy Design and Construction for any improvement project. Our finished product is simply... FANTASTIC!!! We're pleased with every aspect from the design to the general contractor who took great care in maintaining the one request that could have been difficult. The request was to make our media and game room appear as if it was always a part of the traditional home design of the main level. They seamlessly worked with Mina and custom made it to perfection!!! Thanks!
Synergy walked us through the process and had great suggestions that we never would have thought of on our own. It feels more like an upstairs than a basement. Our guests always compliment us by saying it simply doesn’t feel like a basement.
