Merrick Design & Build

Beware!! Filed complain with Better Business Bureau #13131165. I paid him 2500 for the remodel plan and it was a disaster. Sloppy, contradictory, missing, inaccurate, many double and triple charges for the same item. Work I specifically said repeatedly I did not want was in it and work I specified multiple times that I did want was missing. This was intentional on his part to con money out or me. Subsequent estimates by contractors were 1/3 to 1/4 what he demanded and would not change. Estimates of 9K dollars to paint a single room and 15K to move unspecified handful of outlets short distances. Incredibly charged approx 500 dollars for vague unknown need to manage refrigerator in addition to thousands to move it 6 feet. His answer to me on this was that he has to make money where ever he can. What? Came out to estimate of 50K over the budget and he refused to change anything. Always came back to demanding that he was in charge and I was to just write the checks and I better not have any excuses why I wouldn't be available to supervise all the work. Obnoxious and self entitled.

They did a GREAT job on our remodel. Were very conscientious about our budget, tried a million different possible plans, staff was amazing, so friendly, need, reliable. Gave us a ton of room and usability for a very small addition to the house footprint. Highly recommend.

They were pleasant, present themselves professionally and probably do good quality work; however, after I went through the process of interviewing multiple design/build companies and settling on Merrick, their initial price estimates kept going up and up to the point where the price roughly doubled and then they simply said they would not even do the job (supposedly due to subcontractor issues). Wasted much of my time and therefore cannot recommend.
