After months of interviewing different home remodelers, I chose Wise Design & Remodel because of Phil’s experience with making the most out of small spaces. He also knew the importance and history of my home to preserve some of the meaningful things while designing a space for my family. The best part of working with Wise was the communication and the hands-on nature of Phil and his team to make sure the vision is being properly conveyed in the actual build.

Phil and his team did an outstanding job on our basement remodel project. The exercise room, complete with custom sauna, is amazing!! Furthermore, the custom wet bar with a built in wine rack is spectacular! Phil's attention to detail and his honest opinion regarding value added options was much appreciated. Very high quality craftsmanship! We won't work with anyone else after this!

We needed major updates to our space but wanted to honor the Craftsman charm (with a touch of Prairie School) in our beautiful old 1914 home. Phil's patient and collaborative approach paid off in the creation of a design plan that perfectly complements our home and creates new functionality, but without compromising the vintage aesthetics of the space.

Wise Design & Remodel recently redesigned and completely remodeled our kitchen and dining room area, and I can't say enough about how great Phil and his team are. From the first phone call, through the design phase, contracting, project management, construction, and close-out, Phil and his crew were incredibly attentive to us and our project. Phil's expertise in home remodeling (generally) and kitchens (specifically) really shines through. We had an inefficient and quirky old kitchen in a space-constrained corner of the house, and Phil did an amazing job working with us to turn it into our vision of a spacious, functional, and beautifully updated kitchen! The new space is magical and has transformed the quality of living throughout our home. This was our first major remodeling project, and Phil did a great job of anticipating potential issues and communicating with us so we understood what to expect. Once the contract was set, the project stayed on budget and on schedule from start to finish. The project management software Phil uses keeps everything organized so that the homeowner has access to all relevant project information and updates on the schedule, timeline, and change orders. Having been through this process with Phil once, I can't imagine trusting anyone else to complete a remodeling project for us in the future.

We had an excellent experience with Wise Design. The project re-imagined our kitchen, creating a dramatic transformation of our main floor that also enhanced the functionality and style of our entryway, living room, and the transition to the lower level. Philip and team are creative, accountable, efficient, and client-oriented to design and build the best remodel for our space. The craftsmanship and attention to detail was excellent. We now have a unique kitchen and dining area that works within our original home footprint. The result is a refreshed, striking home that we can thrive in as a family.

We worked with Wise in 2022 to remodel our kitchen and had a great experience. Phil and team were easy to collaborate with, responsive to our needs, and always clearly articulated changes and tradeoffs. They also handled unforeseen issues due to the nature of working with an older home with grace and skill. We're grateful to have had them by our side throughout this process and there was always a high sense of trust. The end result is exactly what we envisioned and I almost don't want to recommend them since we have too many other projects ;)
