We engaged Dennis for a color consultation on our 1927 English Tudor. It was finally time to replace the original asbestos roof and siding. We landed on materials pretty quickly but didn't feel confident about the color choices we had discussed with our contractor. Since it was a big job, we wanted to make sure the colors were exactly right. That's where Dennis came in. The job is now done with all the colors Dennis suggested. And it is beautiful! Thank you to Dennis for giving us great advise, guidance, and peace of mind.

Dennis came out to our home and spent a substantial amount of time helping us decide on exterior paint colors. He was professional, friendly, and patient. We love the end result and everyone who has seen the transformation comments on our color choice. We are so happy that we had his help and we would recommend him to anyone we know.

We used DF Designs to complete a major first floor kitchen renovation which included removing some support walls. Dennis came to our home and worked with us from the new design all the way through to completion. I appreciated the "one-stop-shop." Everything was taken care of. The contractor, David, was amazing. Communication throughout the process was excellent. We now have a home that functions much better for us as a growing family, and it's gorgeous! I would highly recommend working with DF designs.

We used Dennis to start updating our home and we are thrilled with the results! We've started with our kitchen and we absolutely love how everything turned out! Everyone who has seen it since has been amazed at the design details. Dennis and his team were great to work with and they finished on time. We were also able to continue using our kitchen appliances through the majority of the project which was very helpful since we have two small kids. We're really happy we found Dennis and his team and can't wait to continue using them to update the rest of our home!

Thanks to Dennis and his wonderful staff. His eye for color has brought us back to use his expertise years after the first repainting of our house. After following his ideas, I am thrilled to have a home that flows smoothly from one room to another. Dennis listened and tweaked his suggestions to create an atmosphere that is what we were looking for. I must admit, his first suggestions are typically right on target, just have to have faith and trust in his expertise.

Dennis did an amazing job with our home. The whole interior was being repainted and I didn't know where to start. It all looks gorgeous I am thrilled. Also, working with Dennis was wonderful. I've never consulted with a designer and felt intimidated. He spent a lot of time, and was very interested in making our home all it could be. I recommend him to many people!

DF Design recently completed a kitchen and entryway renovation for our family and the result is absolutely amazing! Dennis and Chris stayed within budget and they exceeded our expectations relative to design elements and quality. The construction crew was always polite, on time, clean and communicative. Any challenges we encountered were handled professionally by Dennis and Chris. We are so thrilled with their work and with our updated home!

DF Design has worked on several projects in our 100-year old home over the years. His work has dramatically increased the beauty of our living space. One of my favorite things about Dennis is his respect for our own style. Dennis works to incorporate our lifestyle, art and overall vision without ever suggesting we should change our taste. Because of this approach we have trusted Dennis to make some dramatic enhancements to our home. An additional benefit of working with Dennis is his network of quality builders/tradesman who complete the work when they say they will. DF Design delivers a fun experience and fantastic results.
