“I contacted Austin and Krista to help remove kitchen countertops in difficult places where custom...”
I contacted Austin and Krista to help remove kitchen countertops in difficult places where custom cabinets were touching the counters and no other carpenter felt comfortable (they also thought that the entire section of upper cabinets would have to be removed and could damage them). I sent Austin the photos of these areas and then we discussed the issue and he thought his team could help remove the counters in these areas without damaging the cabinets (or having to take them down). To say I was dubious is an understatement! Chris and Tom came early on the agreed upon day and they couldn't have been more careful, more thorough and helpful! They completely prepared the floors and the area and were so careful with the cabinets and things in them. Austin was right! They removed the counters in those tricky areas and they kept going, while cleaning up every speck of dust, so when the actual counter removal team came they had done about 50% of the work! They then stuck around helping make sure my cabinets stayed safe and when the island (the last place I thought there'd be an issue!) Had a minor snafu they helped fix it! Such an amazing team. Chris had some ideas for another design conundrum involving the kitchen's microwave so I can't wait to use them to solve that soon!

We have used GD on a couple projects in our home and I have found Austin and his team to be experts in what they do - from inception to design and install, they are great partners, transparent and respectful of their clients’ budget. And you can tell from interacting with the team that they love what they do. I look forward to working with GD on many more projects!

“Austin and his team installed new cabinet doors in my entire kitchen.”
Austin and his team installed new cabinet doors in my entire kitchen. They were great to work with, and did an outstanding job. You can tell they stand behind their work, considering they came back multiple times to fix little things. All in all, I would highly recommend.

“From start to finish, we had a fantastic experience working with the Guided Design team.”
From start to finish, we had a fantastic experience working with the Guided Design team. Austin and Krista came to our home to talk through our vision for a built-in China cabinet and molding work in our dining room, took measurements, and then executed design plans that were exactly what we envisioned. They also worked with us to tweak the design to make sure we stayed as close to our budget as possible. We then had the pleasure of working with Francois who did the carpentry work for the built-in and moldings - he really made the design come to life! Plus, he was an absolute joy to work with and shared such fun stories as I baked in the kitchen on my day off. To top it all off, Marcin (partner at MW Painting) came in at the end to add his magic touch with wall and molding painting. His work was absolutely meticulous (we have very old baseboard molding, and he genuinely made it look brand new!), he kept the space so clean, and he was so quiet in his work we forgot he was there! To top it all off, everyone was wonderfully professional. It was so clear along the way how much pride this team takes in their work. We will definitely be reaching out again for future projects in our own home and will spread the word to any friends or family in need of design and contracting work!

“Oh my goodness. Austin and his team added a whole floor to my house! My completely unfinished attic...”
Oh my goodness. Austin and his team added a whole floor to my house! My completely unfinished attic is now a gorgeous addition with fun design elements. We have a built-in slide converted from the old roof still house within the attic. The climbing rope on the slide leads to a cargo net reading perch stretched across carpet wrapped rafters. Guided Design also made a shelf at the far end for board games. They even incorporated a cube shelf into the railing around the powered attic ladder they installed. Our attic has become the centerpiece for our kids' hangouts. We already love it so much, and it will only become better as the fertile ground of our imaginations. Guided Designs framed the floor and walls of the attic, modified the structural elements to increase usable floor space. They coordinated insulation, electrical work, ventilation, and dry wall. They built a set of shelves. I paid separately for carpet, powered ladder and paint. The GD team helped with installation of the powered ladder. The team is professional, courteous, and hard working. They were so fun to get to know as well. What a great group!

Austin and his team are fantastic. They made custom inserts for my kitchen cabinets that were beautifully crafted and met our needs for our kitchens. They are responsive, reliable and very easy to work with. I highly recommend them.

“Austin and his team are fantastic to work with.”
Austin and his team are fantastic to work with! They created a new interior of our retail store in Chicago and were very professional, clean, and friendly. I would highly recommend them for any construction project you are considering.

“Austin did a great job for my kitchen cabinet repair.”
Austin did a great job for my kitchen cabinet repair! I had no luck fixing that cabinet before asking for his helps. I didn’t expect my cabinet door could be fixed that soon! I would highly recommend this place to anyone who needs instant and specialized cabinet repairs.

“I had a fantastic experience with my kitchen remodel.”
I had a fantastic experience with my kitchen remodel. It needed a lot of work and Austin and team delivered and exceeded expectations both for the cabinetry but also helped manage the overall project. The project was pretty much a gut rehab of my 100 year old kitchen and it was a huge success. I got great advice on the design and materials and they gave me great referrals for painting, electrical, tile work, and flooring. They made a huge project run smoothly with the least disruption possible. His team: Krista, Pawel, and Chris were all super talented and professional. I really liked how they didn't nickle and dime me and actually passed on savings when some work came in below estimate. I really appreciated the good value they gave. I highly recommend and I plan to use them for my bath renovation.

From the moment we stepped into Guided Design's showroom, Austin and his team did a great job working for us on our kitchen cabinets. Professional and priced well for high quality product. At the last minute we realized we also needed a bath vanity cabinet to fit into an unconventionally sized location and Austin accommodated very quickly. The cabinet quality was great, service and communication excellent. Would not hesitate to highly recommend Austin and Guided Design to family, friends and clients!

“Austin and his team are fantastic.”
Austin and his team are fantastic. I have worked with them for a number of years now in both a professional and personal capacity, and they always go above and beyond. They are detail oriented, communicative and prompt, and if any unexpected issues arise (which is a given in new construction), Austin always does what it takes to get the job done right. Plus, he and his team are just great people. Highly recommend!
