Project Completed:

About Project
A historic Lake Michigan home had seen better days, but our goal was to restore its charm. The journey began with repairing a problematic settling foundation, and included a kitchen renovation as well as guest and master baths, as well as a new deck.
The challenge was maintaining a classic look while meeting modern code requirements, while all materials had to be brought in via a unique path.
After: A testament to restoration and modernization, this summer home now blends historic charm with contemporary living. The new deck frames picturesque views, while meticulously restored doors bring character to the interiors. The classic facade is in harmony with the surroundings, and the foundation’s rejuvenation ensures generations of enjoyment.

I hired PRDesign to build an electric fireplace in my livingroom. It looks beautiful! The Payne crew take pride in their workmanship and pay attention to details. If something doesn’t look quite right, they are quick to correct it. Eric Payne’s supervisor, Denver, is very attentive to the customer’s requests and consistently supervises the ongoing project to the end. He makes sure everything meets the customer’s expectations. In the past, they finished off my basement by adding 2 bedrooms and a bath; and remodeled my kitchen, dining area, main bath and laundry room. I trust their expertise and highly recommend them. I will use them again when I have another project.

We used PR for a major renovation at our house in Holland. Eric was great to on the front end, understanding our vision and coming up with a concise plan. From there we worked with Denver as our project manager, who was extremely hardworking, attentive and a great problem solver. I would highly recommend PR.

Several years ago, we had our kitchen remodeled by PR design. Everyone we met was so helpful and nice. We were so happy with the work that was done, and are still so happy with our kitchen. Recently, one of our ceiling lights started to flicker, so I stopped at PR design to see if I could order a new one. Ben ordered a new one, and said he would be out to install the new light when it came in. in less than a week, he called and installed the new light. If you need quality work done, and want to work with pleasant people, I highly recommend you contact PR design. Mike and Laurie Coney.

Thank you to Eric and team for an excellent job! We had PR build a 4 seasons room addition on our home. The project was completed on-time and in-budget – with excellent quality and attention to detail. Eric spent quite a bit of time up front with us to make sure we (PR and us) had the design and desires defined before starting. Once the project started, the project manager, employees and contractors were timely, communication was disciplined (two-way), and the end-of-project punch list was completed with no contention
We will refer and use PR Design again.

From day 1 with my initial phone call from Eric, the owner, I felt confidence in this company. We had 3 projects that we wanted to have done, one being a waterproof outside storage area under the stairs of our deck, another being a tile job for our basement bar, and the other was indoor storage along a wall of our walkout basement. Now, the quality of their work…. impeccable and precise. In all of the companies we have hired throughout our years of building or remodeling we have never been more satisfied than we are. Would we hire them again, absolutely, without question. Would we recommend them, without hesitation. PR DESIGN is a great company for you needs.

The PR team was super professional, attentive to our questions, and a pleasure to work with. The design was fantastic and everything came out even better than we expected. We had a new full bath added to a 100-year-old house and we expected issues to come up but everything was handled quickly and without drama. I worked from home the entire time and had no disruption whatsoever. We really liked the program management system that let us know exactly what was going on, and Friday emails telling us the week’s progress. We would highly recommend PR to anyone!

P R Design Build expertly handled all aspects of our remodeling. From the initial planning and scope to the purchase of materials and through the construction phase, our project went very smoothly. We are pleased with the end result and how their quality workmanship transformed our house – It is so beautiful! They took on the work we would never try on our own, like adding and removing walls and installing a tile shower. The results are stunning!

The PR Design team did a great job with our basement project. A family room, kichenette, bedroom and bath. They follow a well thought out process to guide you through the build process from initial contact through project completion. The project manger, Denver, did a fantastic job keeping the project on schedule and his communication was subperb! The whole team treats your project like they where building it for their own home from the quality of work to cleaning up at the end of the day.

I wasn’t sure what I wanted in my new deck. The PR Design Build team helped me see that I could have the deck in a new position on my house by moving a window and adding a slider. I was particularly impressed by their communication process – lots of communication is standard, including the assignment of a project manager, and one-off questions are quickly answered. They have an app where pictures are posted of progress very regularly.They completed the job on time. Everyone I encountered was extremely professional. All of their work is top quality. I am extremely pleased with my new slider and deck and will not hesitate to use PR Design Build in the future.

We had a great experience with PR Design & Build! They helped us create a plan that fit both our dreams and our budget. They helped us develop design ideas, brought in professional people to help do the work, and were excellent communicators throughout the project. The vendors they partner with talked about how PR Design operates their business with integrity, and that matched our experience as well. We love our basement remodel, and will definitely use PR for other house projects in the future. Strongly recommend!

I had my bathroom totally redone earlier this year…it turned out great!! they were so patience with me picking out everything…then changing my mind…a time or two. They were able to work around my job/sleep schedule. They answered any question I had promptly. I would highly recommend them and will definitely call them for future projects.

I can’t say enough good things about this company and our experience with them. From start to finish they treated my project like it was the only one they had despite having much larger projects. Eric was an excellent sales person who helped me figure out what I really wanted out of our project. Benjamin was an amazing project foreman and made things happen. The end result looked even better than I had hoped.

I would highly recommend PR Design Build for contract work. He and his crew finished off two rooms in my basement along with a hallway between the two. His crew did a very professional job on an exercise room and a bedroom. I have had many compliments on the work done.

Eric gave great communication through each step of the projects. His crew was very dependable and several times came up with a good solution in turning 1 bath into 2 baths in my 100 year old home.

I have done a dozen or more remodeling projects with PRD, ranging from flip home kitchen remodels to outdoor showers to decks to master bathroom remodels. Eric and his team have NEVER let me down. They get their job done on time, on budget and with excellent quality. I use PRD again and again because they are the best in Grand Rapids and you can count on them.
