Melton completed a full remodel of our master and guest bathrooms about a month ago. I echo the favorable reviews previously posted. Having done several prior remodel projects with other contractors, I can say without hesitation that Melton's work was exceptional. The level of supervision and communication were incredible. Everyone who worked on the project was highly skilled in their area, conscientious, delightful to be around and did an excellent job with great attention to detail.
As other reviews have noted, Melton is far from the least expensive company around. However, at a certain point in life you start figuring out that simplifying a difficult process, having good people working on it, and ending up with a superb end product (that is covered by a multi-year guarantee that I have never seen the likes of) is worth a whole lot. If you're willing to spend the money to avoid a world of hassles and end up with a great job, I'm not sure you can beat Melton in this part of the world. We will use them for all future projects.

I have now had the pleasure of working on multiple projects with project managers Reed Halstead and Shawn Kenne and their clients for Melton Design Build in September of 2019 and Summer of 2021. Melton contracted our roofing company to replace the roof of the home they were remodeling. Reed, Shawn and Melton were incredibly responsive and proactive throughout the entire process. They were flexible and cooperative in helping to resolve the few minor issues that arose.
I greatly appreciate working with a company that is professional, consistent and obviously cares greatly about their craft. In short, I would recommend them without hesitation. In the construction world you can always find someone who will do the job for less money, but you are less likely to find a company that cares enough to always do things the right way the first time. Melton Design Build is that company. Hire them, you won't be sorry. Chris Blankenship Project Manager GreenPoint Roofing

We couldn't be happier with Melton on our house addition project. The team is super professional, responsive, and responsible. They provided a realistic budget upfront, provided a detailed timeline on the entire project, and they actually finished on time despite the impact of COVID. We have worked with several contractors on different house projects in the past, and Melton is definitely the best team among them.

MeltonDB completed a project for us in spring 2019. They were great to work with and highly professional. Our project manager Ben did everything possible to keep us in the loop and on schedule. Throughout the the "warranty year" they continued to be very responsive and highly professional. We are thrilled with how our project turned out. The space is absolutely beautiful. Yes they are probably on the higher end of the price spectrum for the area but you do get what you paid for in terms of the finished product AND the process from beginning to end. We would certainly use Melton again for any future remodels so hopefully that says it all.

The Melton team lead by Adrian, Gianna, and Matt provided a stellar experience for us on our fall 2020 basement renovation. They stayed on top of communication with me every step of the way. Strict pandemic precautions were in place for everyone on site and were followed by all team members and subs. The quality of the work is top notch and you absolutely get what you pay for. I can't say enough about the attention to detail. I've done a ton of renovations over the years and this was easily the cleanest construction site I've ever been around. I highly recommend this terrific team for your next project!

We remodeled 3 of our bathrooms with Melton during the fall of 2018. At that time, we took for granted how well Melton projects were managed. Just recently we lived (barely!) through a VERY tough and challenging basement finish construction project with Another Company lasting 20 weeks when it was originally planned for 8-10 weeks. The project lacked strong onsite management, leading to many construction errors, miscommunications with the trades and several redo's.
The bottom line is that we now truly appreciate how well run our bathroom remodel project was with the Melton Team. Out of the 4 major remodels we've done in our house during the past 7 years, Melton clearly stands on top as "The Best". We have recommended Melton to many friends and neighbors and will continue to do so. Many Construction companies focus only on the end product they provide and ignore the importance of a smooth run, stress-free journey getting there. Melton has clearly figured out how to run projects smooth and efficiently! And to top it off their work is of top quality and excellent results.

MeltonDB is an incredible company and I highly recommend them for your house renovation needs. We had a wonderful experience from start to finish. They are honest, transparent, thorough and while they may be on the higher price point of companies in the area, they will work within your budget and every penny spent is worth it. Each member of the team we worked with is first and foremost an incredible human being and to top it off they each excel at their role within the company. I cannot recommend MeltonDB enough and would absolutely call them again for any future house renovations.
