Client Reviews
Our clients are what we’re all about, and we are grateful for the long-term relationships we have created with them. Here’s a sampling of what they have to say about us:
“We love Rochman Design-Build! Every person we worked with was talented, professional, kind, prompt, transparent, and did a fabulous job. The team took the time to really listen to our goals and concerns, and responded with empathy and creativity to achieve our goals. Not only do we absolutely love our “new home” we were amazed that they stuck to the schedule down to the day they promised we could move in. Highly recommend!”
“The project management on this project was exceptional because of the project manager. We had weekly communication meetings regarding the construction agenda. We knew what to expect at every part of the process. The project was completed to the day on a 42-week schedule.”
“We had long wanted to do an addition to our 1930 home to help improve the functionality; but also, and maybe most importantly, to make a dream primary bedroom, bathroom and closet. We interviewed a number of builders but were immediately drawn to the Rochman group because of their calm, confident presence. They truly listened and understood what our goals were for this project. The entire team worked together to create a space that amazes us every time we walk into it. The Rochman team was communicative, efficient and exceeded our expectations. I would highly recommend the Rochman Design-Build firm.”
“Rochman was fabulous to work with from our first meeting to our last. We couldn’t have asked for a better renovation experience and are in love with the outcome.”
“The entire process was clear; the quality of the workmanship and materials was excellent; the staff was friendly, creative, and professional; the project was on time and on budget; and the results are beautiful.”
“Our experience with RDB was great. They presented all information clearly, answered any questions we had before and during the construction, and we love the result.”
“The way that RDB listens to and responds to questions and requests and gives me honest responses and suggestions sets them “above and beyond”. This is my second project with them and I would use them again without hesitation.”
“They renovated our kitchen during the winter with three young kids 5 and under - and made it enjoyable! They stayed on the contract budget and schedule, kept us informed, answered all our questions whenever they popped up, and created a beautiful lifelong space for our family to enjoy. Expensive but absolutely worth every penny for a space like the kitchen or a master suite - the value is unmatched and the result is timeless, unique, functional and beautiful.”
“We should really call you the House Whisperers because you knew exactly what our house needed.”
“I would hire them again without hesitation. When I think about the experience and the end product I think this sums it up best: Every time I walk into my kitchen, not just every day, but every time, I smile. ”
“Rochman Design Build just completed an innovative basement speakeasy project for us. They had a great vision for this unusual project. The workmanship was impeccable, and they completed the job on time, and on budget. We couldn’t be happier. The work is first rate.”
“Please let us take a moment in the middle of this project to say that it’s such a pleasure to work with you all. There are always challenges and some unwanted discoveries in these projects. What’s most winning about Rochman is that we can trust you to hear our concerns and help us navigate these waters. You are all amazing professionals and we appreciate your conscientious, personable, and thoughtful approach at every turn. Thank you!”
“Dear Gary:
Another project complete!
Once more we are thrilled with the result. After 30 years of your group doing projects, big and small, at our home, we are once again extremely pleased with the multiple projects you recently completed for us this spring.
As usual your group was professional and, as these projects were completed during the pandemic and we were home during much of the work, were appropriately interactive to make sure everything was to our liking all while respecting that we were also working from home... So, once again, thanks for getting things done in your usual exceptional manner and we look forward to the next project!”
“We hired RDB to construct a 2-story addition that enlarged and improved our kitchen, created a mudroom, and expanded an existing bedroom with an en-suite master bath, and significantly revised the layout of the existing first-floor spaces. Needless to say, it was a dauntingly complex and expensive project... and yet, we don’t regret a single moment or penny we spent.
The results are nothing short of spectacular. We love every tiny detail of our “new” home.
RDB was impeccable in their execution; responsive and accessible; thoughtful and well-coordinated. We couldn’t be more pleased with the outcome.”
“...You will receive impeccable quality and care through the entire process: from a thoughtful, creative design stage where they help guide you through the hundreds of selections you’ll need to make (which they make fun and easy rather than overwhelming and exhausting!) to weekly on-site progress meetings during the build itself (so you catch small issues before they become major misunderstandings/problems), and an incredibly prompt and courteous response to changes you might request or questions that arise along the way. We could not be more thrilled with the results”
“We congratulate ourselves often on our decision to work with you as our design-build team, and sing your praises at every opportunity.”
“It is not possible to over-communicate in a large project such as ours. Knowing that, the RDB style is to have a meeting between the homeowners and the RDB staff every week. This turned out to be so important in the relationship over the course of our year-long project.”
“It was clear what would happen in each step of the process, and when the inevitable delays occurred (such as over the holidays), you informed us promptly. Finishing the kitchen two weeks ahead of schedule was a real bonus! You have made the job a seamless whole. Someone recently remarked to me, ‘Why wasn’t it built like this originally’?”
“I have used Rochman Design-Build several times for different projects, including a major renovation, and they consistently do an exceptional job. They approach the job with professionalism, pride in their work and a motivation to ensure satisfaction in the homeowner. They are on time and within budget. ”
“The dust protection was stupendous: the rest of the house had no more than the usual dust. It is clear, given all our friends’ dire predictions, that RDB is the only firm in the world that knows how to do this right. You were always accessible, always helpful, creative and intelligent. When nothing goes wrong or sour, it means somebody was working very hard to keep it good: THANK YOU, GARY!”
“Our multi unit project in the Water Hill neighborhood could not have gone any better!!! Gary and the entire team were professional and led us through the design and decision making process with just the right amount of push-back when we were staring to get off track. They genuinely listened and treated the choices as if they were paying for it themselves for their own house… With the excellent supervision and involvement from Rochman Design Build our neighbors commented that they barely realized there was a construction project going on… During the entire project, they provided us with weekly updates. They hit every deadline and even delivered the final project ahead of schedule AND under budget!!!! It was amazing and we definitely became the envy of many of our friends who have struggled through remodel projects.”
