“Having owned old houses for over 30 years, we’ve worked with a lot of contractors, and Chris Stearns is simply the best. Knowledgeable and responsible, he can be counted on to bring a project in both on budget and on time. Chris has a real designer’s eye as well as a wealth of technical know-how; as a result he is able to take a homeowner’s vision for a room or larger project and turn it into something that is actually feasible. (We couldn’t be more delighted with the results of the two separate kitchen and bathroom renovations he’s done for us already.) In addition—and this is no small matter in the fraught relationships that sometimes develop between clients and contractors—he is a pleasure to work with: affable, flexible, responsive, and actually willing to listen to your concerns once the job is underway. The team of skilled technicians he has assembled over the years are, all of them, equally pleasant and trustworthy.
It’s often a very tough choice between competing bids from contractors; but you will not be disappointed if in the end you choose to go with Chris Stearns Design Build.

“Chris Stearns, along with his team of experts and fine craftsmen, helped us transform our small, dingy, dated kitchen into our vision of one that is open, elegant and modern. The union of the addition, renovated space and the rest of our 1920s Dutch colonial is seamless due to the team’s meticulous and tireless attention to detail and Chris’ fantastic eye for style. Throughout each phase of the renovation, from planning to final inspection, Chris patiently listened, guided and collaborated closely with us. We especially valued his knowledge, creativity and unflappability when our old house presented a number of surprises and challenges along the way. Additionally, he and his team were sensitive to the amount of disruption caused by this work and they actively devised creative solutions to minimize their incursion into our family’s space during the months of construction. On the whole, Chris and his team were responsive, responsible, courteous and an overall pleasure to work with. We deeply appreciate and are thankful that they were available to improve and build our new, functional yet beautiful space and would unequivocally and highly recommend Chris Stearns Design Build to anyone seeking help with any home project, but especially one as extensive as our renovation.”
“I have known Chris Stearns for almost 20 years. He has renovated two kitchens and a bathroom, remodeled a house, and built an addition for me. He is completely reliable, a good listener, and a thoughtful designer. The craftsmanship and quality of his company’s work is outstanding. I highly recommend him.”
