Degnan Design Builders

Degnan did a beautiful job creating the 3 season room of our dreams. It has become our oasis, the favorite spot of our house, and it helped keep us sane during COVID. Even though it's "3 season, " we can use it year-round. The wide modern fireplace they recommended heats the entire space in even very cold conditions, and the insulated floor helps maintain a warm surface once heated.

It's always a wonderful experience to relax with a cup of coffee next to the warm fireplace while enjoying the expansive view. As you can tell from the pictures in the portfolio, Degnan's craftsmanship and attention to detail were top-notch. They took what we were looking for way beyond the next level, with some fantastic ideas. We initially looked to convert the existing deck space, carrying forward a typical rectangular room layout.

They suggested that pulling the area inward into more of an L shape would make it more dramatic and cozier. This layout enabled some very striking design features, like the tandem windows and the exposed beam over the dining area. They also did a fantastic job creating a vaulted roof ceiling that matched the home's exterior aesthetics and made way for light to pour in on those large beautiful windows.

A lot of thought went into not just style but also the functionality of the space. For example, the layout allows quick access from the kitchen to the grill, and I didn't even realize all the benefits until using the space. Notably, they had recommended a landing instead of a typical stairway, and aside from just looking better, it's a lot easier to carry trays of food with your hands full when you have that additional space.

Another example is they recommended a four-pane vinyl window system that can be put into all kinds of open configurations, and it's super easy to clean. One of the features of the project we enjoy the most was a custom expansive glass folding door. It essentially gives us a glass wall that we can completely slide out of the way, creating a fully open space when we have guests.

This makes the room feel like a natural continuation of the house, as opposed to an isolated space. It eliminates that awkward crowding you usually get with a more typical doorway. The fact that it slides means you do not cover the light switches with a door; they remain accessible in the room. The Degnan team was fantastic to work with, and even the owner (Abe) was highly engaged and responsive to any question or concern. *even after project completion*. Further, Degnan stands behind their work and is committed to your complete satisfaction.

There was a manufacturing issue with our flooring, and Degnan diligently worked to correct it as soon as they were aware of the problem. Six months after the job was completed, Abe still personally reached out to make sure nothing new had popped up, and we were still happy. They even came out to check for shifts from season changes. We couldn't be happier!

Abe and team were great to work with from start to finish! They made our dream backyard and our budget coincide. The transformation from our aging backyard deck last year to this stunning patio and garden is beyond words. We couldn't be happier. Mom has her own Zen escape from the family now.

Abe has been very helpful in helping us learn the remodeling process, including the less obvious issues to be aware of when remodeling an older home that can really affect the feasibility and/or cost of a given project. He also has a unique ability to work with what a home currently is and envision what it can be. He is trustworthy, has high standards, is EXTREMELY responsive, and has a wealth of knowledge that he is happy to share with you! I would recommend him without hesitation.

Our project was to transform a completely unfinished basement into a living/entertaining space (complete with a wet bar and full bathroom). We selected Degnan because Abe was the only contractor out of the several we met with who really listened to what we wanted and needed from the space, rather than going with what we assumed we could afford. The issue was a metal support beam in the middle of what would become the living room.

We had assumed replacing the post with a beam would be prohibitively costly, and so had tried to design the bar around the beam. Thankfully, Abe recognized that we wanted a warm space for our growing family to live in with a bar attached, not a bar with some living space in the back corner! He came up with a plan to remove the post and stay within our budget.

We enjoyed working with the entire team at Degnan. Andrea designed a beautiful space and guided our material selections without choosing them for us, and the end result is stunning! The project manager, Anthony, was always quick to respond to questions we had and offer creative solutions. Everyone who came into our home to do work was very respectful of our space and careful to minimize disruption.

We are thrilled with the end result and have already received numerous compliments from friends and family who have visited. We will be going straight to Abe and his team again for future projects (we're already making a wish list for our dream kitchen.).

We hired Degnan Design-Build-Remodel for a large exterior project caused by water damage. They completely redid our front entryway arch/pillars and our bay window using EIFS, and installed a new trim/water board around our house. They also installed flashing under our siding (since it wasn't installed during the initial construction of the home (by another builder)).

We were so impressed with PJ (carpenter) and Anthony (project manager). We no longer have to worry about water damage when it rains thanks to the attention to detail of this team. We look forward to working with them on future home projects!

I met Abe and his staff at Parade of Homes a few years ago as a realtor. As I've gotten to know him, his family and staff, I've come to see their dedication to clients and have an integrity to those clients and their builds and remodels. I see many homes and remodeling jobs as a realtor. I can say, the quality in the build of Degnan Design homes, to the detail of the remodeling and suggestions for improvements in cost effective and creative ways, is top notch.

Many builders and remodelers these days build QUANTITY and forget about QUALITY. Degnan Design keeps that FIRST and foremost in their jobs. Communicating effectively, and clearly - making certain clients questions are answered before the work is done. Clarifying every step of the way. With the level of customer service and quality they provide, I keep them on the top of my 'preferred vendors' list that I provide my clients with. Not just anyone goes on that list! Do not hesitate in calling Degnan Designs for your build or remodel!

Abe and his wonderful crew changed our home with a fantastic kitchen remodel. They respected our budget, our time, our ideas and our home during the process. Although our work was done a few years ago, it still looks beautiful and has increased the value of our property.

Degnan Design Builders recently completed a deck project for us. We were very pleased with the professionalism, quality, promptness, and attention to detail on this project. They provided a clear understanding of the tasks, timeline, and costs of the project upfront and delivered a great finished project on time. Thank you, Abe, and your outstanding team!

Degnan Design Builders did a remodel on my business and did an outstanding job meeting my specifications in a timely manner. I have worked with many design firms and builders over the years and Degnan Design consistently has hard solid customer service. In addition, their team is customer focused and flexible in their approach. I would definately suggest them for any commercial or residential work!
