Our aging pink bathroom was in desperate need of an overhaul and we were impressed immediately with Merrick’s knowledge and quote. In fact, we liked them the best of the folks who provided estimates and they were the best priced – so, a rare win-win. The subcontractors who did the tile work were great, and worked on weekends to keep the project on track. The finished product looks fantastic and we definitely propelled our bathroom into this century! A big thank you as well to the Merrick leadership team for stepping up to resolve a couple issues following the project. We look forward to working with them on our next project and would recommend.

We recently finished a significant home renovation with Merrick, and couldn't be happier. The layout of our house was odd, and left our son and daughter sharing a small bedroom for 10 years. We knew we needed more space, but lacked the vision and knowledge of what was possible.

After speaking with a number of different firms, it was clear that Merrick was the best option to help us achieve what we wanted. They were responsive, had the best process and systems, and felt like true partners in the project. We never felt like just a client.

From design with Phil through production, the team at Merrick was fantastic to work with. We were always kept informed about everything that was going on. Rodrigo kept the project moving on schedule and ensured everything was up to their high standards, Dasia kept us on track with project selections, and Gibran was a true craftsman - the quality of his work was impeccable.

I was impressed with how clean they managed to keep everything as we lived in the house through the project. The project was on time and on budget - the only additional expenses were either not able to be foreseen at the outcome, or as a result of choices we made.

We are thrilled with the end result and look forward to working with Merrick again in the future!

I have used Merrick for 3 projects - kitchen remodel in 2012, bathroom remodel in 2014 and a covered back patio in 2024. All 3 projects were very well done. The design process was excellent and the construction teams were fantastic. Would highly recommend giving them a call!

I'm starting a home reno project with Merrick Design and Build and I just wanted to say that so far all is going so well and smoothly. We are in the design part of the project and the two designers I'm working with Dasia and Ashley are so responsive. They took the time to understand what look I was going for and each design they showed me was perfect, it was too hard to pick which one! They are cognizant of budget and willing to give me true opinions. And most importantly, they didn't even get upset once we realized I used the wrong term for the type of vanity I wanted and they spent time researching the wrong type! They didn't even blink. I'm appreciative! I'm excited to watch their design come to life.

Merrick remodeled our entire home, and the results were breathtaking. They clearly have a passion for their projects. Our house had been in the family for decades and was in desperate need of a makeover. Merrick helped us keep the home's key structural and design elements while truly making the house our own. The renovation touched every nook of the house, from the basement to the attic, building an addition and bumping out a deck.

But for as awesome as the final result was, the people are what make Merrick so special. Phil as the lead architect got to know us as he designed the renovation and then communicated with us regularly throughout. Dasia helped us to identify our interior design features, and Rodridgo's hands-on leadership on-site was masterful. I met the team on-site and saw them in action. They know their stuff.

I raved about Merrick to a colleague, and it turned out that Merrick had renovated his home over a decade ago. He was also a happy client. Simply put, Addie and her team are top notch. I highly recommend Merrick.

Merrick rebuilt two original bathrooms in our 1941 house. The end result was excellent, and everyone involved in the process (designer, production manager, carpenter/tiler) was knowledgeable, professional, and pleasant.
A couple of issues have arisen in the 2 years since this project was done. For both, it took a few tries to figure out the cause of the problem, but the production manager worked hard on finding the right solution. Great follow-up on a solid warranty is so valuable!

Merrick completed a major remodel of the living spaces in our home that included swapping our living room and kitchen spaces and adding a powder room. Everyone at Merrick was a pleasure to work with and we couldn’t be happier with the results. We especially commend our designer Phil’s ability to bring our disparate ideas into reality. His design sense brought everything together and his patience was extraordinary. And we felt very fortunate to have Rodrigo’s excellent on-site management and coordination of our project. We highly recommend Addie and her team at Merrick.

We had a fantastic experience with the whole Merrick family— and they do feel like family! In developing the project, David really listened to our needs and ideas, and designed an addition that was so well integrated into our existing house. The building of the addition was timely and went off without a hitch, and the few changes we made along the way were graciously applied. Special thanks to Gibran, Javier, Jimmy, Fernando, and Eric who did beautiful work and always with a friendly smile. Rodrigo was an attentive project manager who promptly addressed our questions, and Desea provided excellent design ideas.

If we had to do it all over again — and I’m sure given the outstanding quality of the work, we won’t!—we would happily design/build with Merrick!
