All reviews for Understory Design Build

We loved working with Understory and would trust them with any project, they will be our first call in future. They do high quality work and ensure that from all of their subcontractors as well. Their problem solving abilities on site were impressive, they always came up with solutions to tricky problems that kept us on track. They're highly organized and good communicators. Impressively, they delivered on schedule and on budget during a time period with inflation and supply chain issues where no one else we knew of could pull that off. Pricing was transparent and fair. And they bring a positive energy to the jobsite, from Brad and Kieran and all of the team, who are all nice people that you'd want working on your house. We could not recommend them highly enough!

We worked together to complete a complex redesign and build creating a guesthouse. Understory served as project management and build--they did an amazing job coordinating complex set of subcontractors including landscaping. The quality of the work is excellent, communication was open and effective, response to issues was rapid. I highly recommend working with the team on your projects!

Understory Design Build constructed our new home in Morrisville VT. Our work with Brad and Kieran started in the design process. Their input was invaluable in finalizing a design to match our needs. Throughout the build process their attention to detail, high level of communication, and professionalism was unmatched. They listened to our concerns, made thoughtful recommendations, kept us informed and explained the process well. After build completion they addressed our “punch list” concerns quickly.

We ended up with a great design with a quality build that was both on schedule and on budget. Kieran and Brad were wonderful to work with. We would highly recommend them and hire them again!

These lovely folks built a garage , breezeway and renovated my kitchen and fixed lots of other smaller issues. After terrible DYI projects, frustrating contractors, I contracted Understory Design Build. What an incredible experience . I now have the most gorgeous functional efficient home. They worked within my budget , specifics for Baking , cooking needs and time line to produce incredible designer results. They cater to you individually to meet your specific needs and taste , they are not cookie cutter builders at all. The make the design process fun and exciting. All their workers and contractors are professional and accommodating. I never want to go out any more other then to go in and out of my Garage.

Working with Understory has been such a smooth and efficient experience from start to finish. Kieran made the process of shopping for finishes not only easy but also fun and collaborative. We felt truly included in the design decisions. Brad’s team has done an amazing job bringing everything to life. The craftsmanship is outstanding, and we absolutely love the space they created for us.

Another detail we really appreciated: the job site was kept clean and tidy every single day, which made the process stress-free on our end.

We’re beyond happy with the results and already looking forward to planning our Phase II work with Kieran, Brad, and the Understory team!

In 2017 Understory Design Build stripped off the worn siding on our house and replaced it with Hardie Board. It was a big job and it was perfect when done. It is now seven years later and it still looks and functions as brand new. When we decided to upgrade our small gazebo to the same specifications as the house, we had no doubt that Brad and Kieran should do the job. It is wonderful to have both looking so great. On a personal level, they are a delight to work with. They ask good questions, are clear about the details, oversee their employees, and fix anything that is amiss. Don't work with nightmare contractors. Hire Understory Design Build and you will be satisfied.
