All reviews for Factor Design Build

We highly recommend using Factor Design Build. They are a very professional, high-quality, design build firm.

Factor did a great job adding on to our nearly 90 year old home in Denver. We wanted to addition to look like it was always there - and it does and we love it!

Service was amazing. Had a new project with my home, we were picky with every detail and they were understanding and helpful. Their team made a seemingly challenging remod effortless and helped us with our vision all the way to the end. Couldn't recommend them more

I rarely write reviews, good or bad, as I'm not a huge fan of putting my own opinion about another's business out there for the entire world to see. If I'm going to take the time to thoughtfully write about a company and my experience, it has always been for only two reasons; either it was very good, or very terrible. In this case, it was over-the-moon great. My wife and I recently bought a new home in the past year. While we did finish the basement during construction, we did not complete it to the style and functional levels it deserved. We knew we needed to warm it up, create textures and turn it into a space where people wouldn't want to leave. We also wanted to add a wine cellar. While my wife and I have done remodels in the past, we knew we needed to align with a company that could take our vision and get it completed in the most accurate representation of what we believed we wanted. This is very challenging when working with contractors/builders, normally. We've never been blown away by anyone we've used in the past and would by no means recommend those businesses to anyone. To the contrary, we've always been underwhelmed by those companies. In this case we were so incredibly happy for many reasons. First, FDB treated us with a level of professionalism that, quite frankly, is completely lost on that industry. From the design process in their office and at our house, to the meticulous care they took to keep our house immaculately clean during construction, everything they did, every move they made was done with dignity and professionalism. We had weekly review meeting to ensure vision and course that always made sure we were in the loop. And here's the best part....they actually finished ON TIME and ON BUDGET. If you've ever been a part of a remodel you know how seemingly impossible both of those things are. If you are thinking about an in-home project, I'm telling you right now, call these guys. I've played the game of trying to get the best "deal" before and have gotten burned every time when, inevitably, they were over-budget and late. What's piece of mind worth to me? In this instance EVERYTHING as I got all that I wanted and then some.

Factor Design Build represents the best of design build industry. Josh and Kent are straight forward and completely trustworthy. I've worked with them on multiple projects and they are the best in the business. I can't recommend them enough!

My wife and I started our design-build journey in the Spring of 2017 with an idea that we wanted to create a true master suite in our mid-century home, something that was not a priority in that era. After much consideration we figured out that the “easiest” way to accomplish our goal would be to demolish an old sun room, knock out a wall, and combine two existing bedrooms to create the space needed for a large bedroom, bath, and walk-in closet. We consulted an architect friend of ours, who suggested that we look into design-build firms, largely to ensure a consistency of vision and communication throughout the project.

We interviewed two. The second one was Factor Design Build, and we were done. We were in a bit of a unique position, as we were determined to live in the home while it was coming down around our ears. Thus, we felt a strong desire to find someone we could trust and, possibly even more importantly, enjoy spending time with while our lives were being disrupted. I cannot emphasize this enough—from the first moment we met with Josh Fiester (owner) and Jane Blumer (architect) at our home we could tell that Factor is a FAMILY that genuinely and earnestly cares about its clients. Months later, as the final paint touch-ups are concluding, we feel they are now part of our family, too.

We wanted someone who could help us enhance our vision for our home and was competent enough to actually accomplish the design. We could not be more satisfied. From interior design to solid construction to seamlessly meshing the new build with the existing structure, Factor continually exceeded our expectations. I should say that our home is the home I grew up in, so it was also paramount to maintain the “good bones” and homey vibe that had existed here for 50 years. No problem there. From the outside, you would never know an addition had been attached.

A few words about the people—they are very, very good at what they do. They are scrupulously honest, funny, and fun to be around. When you have someone in and around your home 8 hours a day for months on end, that’s important. Josh and Kent run the ship crisply, Jane is a fantastic architect, Jenny is a spectacular designer, Travis Orme is as skilled and caring as any project manager you’re likely to meet, and Travis Surkalo is a “carpenter” without compare (I use the quotes there because he can actually do everything from framing to cabinetry, plumbing, trim, and electrical, too).

I have no doubt whatsoever that the Factor team is imminently capable of executing a client’s specific vision down to the smallest detail. However, I will encourage any person considering a design build (Factor in particular) to relax a bit and engage with the process. Everyone at Factor from the top down is a creative person, and when given the opportunity to let their creativity flow, they work magic. If you can relinquish a little control and truly embrace their collaborative mindset, then your project will turn out more amazing than you ever could have imagined. Ours did.

Some things will not go smoothly. Some things will not be perfect on the first try. Some things will not go quickly. Construction is not a simple journey from point A to point B, any more than life is. But, like life, it is quite possible to enjoy the ride. We enjoyed the ride enough to cry when they finished.

This is our 4th major home build or renovation. Factor has been amazing to work with. They stayed on schedule despite some tough circumstances and the pandemic supply chain. These kinds of projects are never easy and can be emotional but they handled it all like true professionals.

We are in the beginning phase of our master bath remodel and we have had the pleasure of working with a Junior Interior Designer, Danielle McCool. We couldn't be happier! Danielle is a joy to work with and an extremely nice person. In addition, she is always prompt, prepared and thorough. She keeps track of even the smallest detail and has come to understand our style and preferences. We look forward to moving on to the construction phase with Danielle's able assistance.

How often do you end a major home renovation project appreciating both the design firm and your contractor? Our family is extremely happy with our decision to choose the team Factor, Design and Build.

We have lived in Hilltop, in a 1940s smaller home, for over 20 years. My husband and I were tired both our cramped bathroom and our dark, cold and tiny bedroom. Factor designed a spacious and airy bedroom and beautiful bathroom that fits with the size of our 2000 sq foot house. The Factor Team is a great group of craftsmen to work with. Our contractor, Travis Orme, is a man who not only knows design but also understands the entire building process. If any new idea came up, or an issue, he would appraise the situation and come up with an efficient plan. He is a man of integrity who follows through with his ideas. His communication between his men and our family was direct and open; there were no hidden fees. He kept the chaos to a controlled level, as we continued to live inside our house. Patrick was the lead carpenter. I throughly enjoyed both his dry wit and his creativity in regards to his woodworking skills. Travis Cebula is another carpenter who was an actual Factor client himself and decided to join the team. He created so many details in our bedroom, but what i will remember the most is finding his 4 books of published poetry resting inside our magazine nook that he designed. We had discussed the fact that my father was a published poet as well.

These craftsmen are thoughtful, hardworking guys whom I completely trusted inside our home. Several times this winter I would wake up to find our driveway already shoveled by a Factor employee. Factor did what they could to make our home feel secure and somewhat peaceful. Jose Luis, another one of Factor’s contractors who works for Quality Tile, beautifully installed our bathroom tile. Factor is a team full of artisans and craftsmen who are a group of trustworthy and hardworking men and women. Of course there were a few bumps along the way, but we would choose to work with them again at a moment’s notice.

The integrity and character of Factor could not be higher in my book. We had interviewed several firms as we were planning to pop the top of our 1920's bungalow. After several months, we decided to go with Factor and put several thousand dollars down as a deposit. A few weeks later, we found out we would be dealing with some major health challenges within the family and we sadly came to the decision that an extensive home renovation would be too much for us to handle. Josh graciously gave us our whole deposit back and was nothing but sympathetic to our situation. Even though we never went through with a project (yet), it was confirmed to us that we had made the right decision to go with them in the first place. I highly recommend Factor!

Factor was truly awesome to work with. Their designer, Brianna helped transform our interior office space in a way that re-energized the environment and our company. She listened to our design ideas, learned our tastes and turned out a plan that we would have never been able to create on our own. Factor was responsive throughout the entire project and exceeded our expectations all-around.

Strong community partners, like Factor Design Build, enable us to do what we do best at Denver Kids: help our students stay supported, in school, and on the path to graduation and new possibilities for their futures. From their financial contributions and gifts of technology, to lending helping hands at our student events throughout the year, Factor Design Build is making a difference for youth in our community and we are so grateful to call them our partner.

Great people. Great process. Great results. We couldn’t be happier with our new kitchen. Would work with Factor again in a heartbeat.

We had a wonderful experience with Factor Design. The entire process ran smoothly and was completed early. We were so impressed by the professionalism of both the Factor crew as well as all of the subs. We would absolutely use Factor again.

Factor Design Build completely remodeled my master bathroom and what an incredible job they did! From the first design meeting with Jenny to the completion of my project they have provided exceptional customer service while getting the project done on schedule. Travis Orme is a skilled and passionate project manager who was with me every step of the way. Lam La keeps the project moving smoothly and has excellent attention to detail. Richard Begando did a great job working on my bathroom from start to finish. Kent and Josh thank you for having an amazing team to help me create a beautiful master bathroom.

I can't say enough about the quality of work and service Factor Design Build provides. They brought my house back to life, and created a entirely new, beautiful space. They communicate exceptionally well and managed my expectations the entire time. Thank you to the whole team at FDB!

We really appreciated all of the effort that Factor Design Build put into our remodel. From the start, Josh and Kent explained the process in detail and then made sure things stayed on track. David and the onsite team were fantastic at keeping us informed and worked hard to make sure everything just right. We highly recommend FDB and are very happy with the end product!

Factor Design Build completely remodeled our main floor, including a full kitchen renovation. We love it! Factor came in on-time, on-budget and was on top of the project from start to finish. We would highly recommend Josh, Kent and their entire team (not to mention Lam and Giles!), and hope to partner with them on our next project.

Factor Design was nothing but professional and accommodating throughout our entire remodel process, and we are thrilled with the result. The team prided themselves on quality craftsmanship and completed the project on time and within budget. We love our new kitchen, bathrooms and built in sunroom. Thank you, Factor Design Build.

We recently completed a multi-room remodel with Factor - master bed and bath, guest bath, basement bar, as well as exterior flagstone work and a new deck build.

From day one of working with Factor, we felt as if we were a part of the Factor family. From the design team, to the construction, and project management team, they spent all the time necessary to go through every detail so by the time our project began, we knew everyone was on the same page, and knew exactly what the design was; right down to the last door knob.

Everyone who walked into our home was not only professional and extremely knowledgeable, but kind. It’s a laborious process to go through a remodel, but knowing the people working in your home are caring people with your best interest in mind makes it all worthwhile. When any issues arose, the project management team was right in front of it, coming up with an immediate plan of action for how to move forward.

We couldn’t be happier with the end result. Everything is exactly as we envisioned, and the quality is incredible. They go above and beyond. We had such a great experience and would hire them again in an instant.
