"Come Home is a top-flight design build contractor who worked collaboratively with us to execute a complete and beautiful kitchen redesign and remodel. The owner, Brian, planned and executed exquisitely, whether managing his excellent subcontractors or doing his own flawless finish carpentry (finish quality being how I ultimately evaluate anyone's work). I believe that it was Brian's excellent planning and design background that was the secret to project success, from tight adherence to the production schedule to tasteful design recommendations to project completion on budget!

Finally, Brian is a pleasure to work with. The people who recommended him to us put it best, ‘Working with Brian is like having like having a good friend in your house who you never get tired of seeing every day.’

The work itself is stunning and we couldn't be more pleased. Some neighbors of ours were equally blown away and have retained Come Home for their own kitchen remodel later this year. Hire Come Home if you can get them!"

"We hired Brian for a full basement remodel. The scope of our project included design work for the new basement layout (including bedrooms and bathroom), as well as demo work, engineering, electrical, plumbing, framing, insulation, HVAC, concrete work, windows, tile, millwork, painting, and so on. This was our first remodel and we didn't know what to expect. He made it a positive and relatively smooth experience. He was very receptive to our input and we were able to execute a great design that really exceeded our expectations. Brian always put our needs and wishes first. He made it very clear that our satisfaction was his priority. Any time I had a concern about the project, he would find a way to make it right. He and his subcontractors worked hard and consistently for the duration of the project. Everyone he hired did excellent work and were friendly and considerate of my family while they worked in our home. The end result is phenomenal. We now have a space that we love to use, and I smile every time I walk into my basement. Every person we've shown has been blown away. The care and attention to detail really, really shows. We'd definitely recommend Brian!"

“We chose Come Home to do a major remodel of our home (living room, family room, kitchen, main bedroom and main bathroom, about 1800 square feet). The results were way beyond what I had anticipated. Saying I'm happy would be an understatement. I would recommend Brian just for his professionalism, quality of work, and keeping me informed. Some of the remodel required some inventive design — our floating shelves are a work of art!

But there are two things that stand out that I can't recall ever having with anyone before this. One was his clarity on billing established strong trust. I knew he was looking out for me. The other one was how he worked with me. There are a lot of little details involved in making a great, showcase, home. I never really appreciated that before. But Brian spent countless hours with me helping make what at first appeared to be minor decisions but are really what makes a home so livable. Brian was great about always giving candid advice without ever trying to convince me. He just wanted me to be informed so I could make the best decision. Very often we worked out what to do together — very cool and very satisfying. I can't recommend him enough."

–Al and Leigh

“I wish I could give Come Home 10 stars! This project was perfect from start to finish. Brian was very attentive to all the details when we were planning our new kitchen, from the workflow to where we would keep the pots and pans! Once the construction started everything flowed so smoothly — there were no surprises, no mistakes. The project came in on budget, and Brian and his subcontractors were easy to work with. We are more than thrilled with the results. Please check his Houzz page for all the pictures of our beautiful kitchen.”

–Pam and Paul

“Brian is a class act all the way. We contracted with him to renovate a century-old fixer-upper home that was in really bad shape. From day 1 his calm and friendly demeanor was extremely reassuring as we tried to squeeze the ideal work plan within our budget. He was honest with us throughout the process and ultimately executed very high-quality work. I can't stress enough how valuable it was to have his quick and honest feedback during both the design and build phases of the project. His responses were always timely, and the work finished on time as well. To top it all off, he went above and beyond in facilitating extra paperwork required for this particular project. In the end, we were blown away with the final product. The house is more safe, secure, and MUCH better looking than when we first started. Hats off to a quality contractor!”

–Joe

"Brian is a wonderful general contractor to work with! We previously worked with him on remodeling our master bathroom, and when we decided to remodel our kitchen and complete some other upgrades to our home, we knew we wanted to work with Brian again. He is an excellent communicator, and brings a great mix of creativity and pragmatism to both the planning and construction phases of his projects. Working with a contractor with a design background is REALLY beneficial in being able to turn ideas into reality. For instance, he helped us to design some custom blown glass pendant lights that turned out even better than I could have imagined! Brian also has cultivated trusting, respectful relationships with his subcontractors, and supports local businesses and suppliers as much as he can, a value that means a lot to me. He also stands by his work and is an effective problem solver for the inevitable bumps in the road. On top of all of this, we survived a major construction project during COVID, and Brian fully supported us in ensuring that careful precautions were taken by everyone involved. We LOVE our new kitchen and renovated downstairs, and can't thank Brian enough for making it all happen!"

“I am a residential real estate agent who also manages a large multifamily building, built in 1926. I've hired Brian for numerous repair and improvement projects for this building, along with at our home. Brian has always done excellent work, on time and on budget, with the highest degree of professionalism and integrity I've ever encountered with a contractor. I've been referring him to my real estate clients for over 5 years now and all my clients have been really happy with Brian's work as well. Brian delivers exceptional value — which I define as absolute top-notch quality of work for a reasonable price. Brian also has an excellent design eye and is extremely helpful to any homeowner wanting to do a remodel and looking for advice on design and materials. Creative design, excellent craftsmanship, a pleasure to work with — I always recommend Brian with great enthusiasm!”

–John

“I've worked with Brian a number of times over the past year — first on my rental house in Wallingford, and then on our family home in Magnolia. Brian was fantastic to work with and did a tremendous job. Our family home looks beautiful (new basement, better windows, bathroom, and lots of little touches that really make the place shine). And our rental property in Wallingford is now commanding $500 more per month in rent (updated kitchen and numerous other improvements). Brian is one of those rare contractors who really takes care of his clients — listening carefully to their needs and wants, and then taking special care to make certain the job is done absolutely perfectly so that everyone is 100% satisfied with the result. Brian is highly passionate about his work and really becomes your friend over the course of each job. He's on time, on budget and a pleasure to work with. I'm highly recommending Brian to all of our friends!”

“Most homeowners are not experts in or have much experience remodeling their homes. As we belong in this category, having Come Home as the contractor for a rather extensive remodel of our home was a source of satisfaction. Brian Heidsiek is our idea of a valuable contractor. He has high standards and expects and gets quality work from his subcontractors. Brian's years of construction and design experience were evident in how he approached our project: his vision of colors, types of wood treatment, sources of construction materials, ideas for improving our initial plans, and relationships with local product resources were instrumental in our understanding and ultimately, our decision-making. And certainly not a minor detail, our project was completed on time despite subcontractors being inordinately busy. Coupled with attention to detail and quality work, Brian is a great communicator. Often one hears of remodeling projects turning out badly and/or severely over budget. A common thread of these failed projects is often lack of communication between the homeowner and contractor. Our experience with Come Home was replete with open, candid, and frequent communication. Brian was open to suggestions, our changes of mind, and choices in selection. If you are considering a remodel of your home, you should include Come Home in your planning.”

–Dean

“Brian’s work updating the kitchen and other areas of my house was excellent. His design sense helped a great deal when deciding on colors, materials, and other choices. His ideas added to the success of the project helped make it very successful. He listened carefully, clarified details, and provided excellent resources for me to decide the specifics of what I wanted to do. He communicates well, returns phone calls, keeps appointments, meets scheduled deadlines, and gives clear explanations. He does what he says he will do, when he says he’ll do it. He is committed to excellent work. His subs are especially wonderful. He uses people who are excellent at their crafts. Brian has ongoing relationships with them, which made me very confident with their work. The work by the painters included several areas of the house and different applications. They were excellent. I recommend Brian to others and would work with him again.”

–Kathy

“Thank you so much for your great work on all our diverse projects — from our new kitchen, and installing steps and a retaining wall in our yard. Your work was superb and all your ideas so very helpful. When I was showing a friend the improvements, she commented, ‘Brian doesn’t do anything halfway!’ We also benefitted from your designer’s eye and excellent suggestions, which really improved our original ideas. We look forward to working with you again soon — next on the bathroom!”

–Alice

"After Brian finished with my home a friend saw the results and said, ‘The lucky person is the one working with Brian at the moment.’ Brian really is amazing. Not just with his care and quality but in the way he interacted with me. I hired him and his company for a major interior remodel and kitchen. He finished on time and within budget. He was also polite and kind which is something I didn’t expect. He usually picked up the phone or called back right away and welcomed my questions. I always felt like he was genuinely interested in helping me feel comfortable through the process and always took the time I wanted to explain things I didn’t understand or to help me make decisions. He helped with the entire process from design and how to use the space and aesthetic options to the functional, structural, and practical things, too. I’m not surprised also that his subcontractors and specialists were also very nice, helpful, and interacted with me in a way that showed they really care about the project and about me, too. I really can’t say enough about my experience with this company. I think he is exceptional and rare in the world of contracting. I agree with my friend that the one working with Brian is the lucky one at the moment."

“Brian communicates, advises, returns calls, shows up as scheduled, completes the project and to the highest standards. He really delivers.”

–Barbara and Jim

"We were in the process of planning a fairly large kitchen remodel which required not only tearing out the existing cabinets, but the removal of two walls to create a giant, single room. It was our cabinet rep that put us in contact with Brian and we were so much better off as a result. Brian came in and absorbed the details of the project and quickly scoped it out. He was always in contact and during our initial meetings ask numerous questions.

Once the work began it ran smoothly and efficiently. Subs showed up on time and in the event they couldn't, it was communicated in advance. Subs are very booked now and he was able to search around to get an excellent tile installer to come in and finish up our tile, which had been delayed in shipping by several weeks. A number of times we discussed tricky building situations and how to best solve them, during which, he was very open to our suggestions and ideas. And as the project is almost completely done, he was still following up to make sure the cabinet touch-up work was done and any issues with building inspections, etc.

There were a lot of moving parts with this, including a massive 6' x 10' island that was one of the biggest he had done. It's all turned out beautifully. I'm so glad our cabinet rep put us in contact!"

–Bill and Ally

"We were extremely pleased with Brian's work updating our kitchen. Brian is a great communicator, listens well, and is very detail-oriented. His work is high quality and very durable — he doesn't cut any corners. This is my third project working with Brian and I would highly recommend reaching out to him for any construction/remodel project."

–Seattle Client

“Brian, it was the best of times it was the worst of times, until you came along and transformed the lodge. We as a brotherhood are very reflective on the state of the lodge and, to be honest, we were in a dubious state. When one thing starts unfolding, we aren’t quite as disciplined, aren’t quite as scholarly, and not the gentlemen we strive to be. You have restored order, my friend. I apologize for any difficult people you have had to deal with or for any time you have felt like you work went unnoticed. WE APPRECIATE YOU more than you know. Thank you for everything you’ve done. We’ll miss your hard-working drive and personality.”

–The Chi Psi Brotherhood

“Brian and the Come Home Design + Remodel team have done work on my property for over a decade. I wouldn’t trust anyone else with it! Brian is a great guy and an even harder worker, he truly takes pride in every detail of the job.

Whether it's a major outdoor project, an indoor renovation, or simply needing some design input and inspiration, he consistently goes above and beyond our expectations.

One of my favorite projects that he did for us was a room with a connected outdoor patio. He did a phenomenal job on the interior with beautiful hardwood floors and great finishes that elevated the space. On the outside, Brian tied it all together with a seamless transition to the custom patio. The screen door, railings, and waterproof flooring have all stood the test of time against the elements and still look great to this day. This space since he finished the work is one of our favorite spots to relax and entertain!

His team overall is just as solid. Professional, experienced, great with communication, and always paying close attention to the details. Their depth of expertise across a variety of different projects has made us go with them every time. I highly recommend them if you’re looking for excellent results, but also a team that truly cares about the work they do and the people they work with!”

“Come Home Design & Remodel did a fantastic job of converting a 20 year old bathroom into a show-stopper. In addition, my condo had outdated track lighting throughout which was replaced with elegant recessed lighting. The workers were professional, on time, and the project was completed on schedule!”

— Rox B.

“We have had the pleasure of working with Brian on three different remodeling and design/build projects over the past 10 years, and I continue to feel extremely lucky that a friend recommended him to us. His attention to detail and desire to ensure high quality work is above and beyond any other contractor I've encountered — we have seriously gotten into the weeds a few times exploring a decision, and time and time again this investment in making a thoughtful choice has proved completely worth it.

His design background has been invaluable, both during the planning phase and as the project is unfolding, when he notices something that could improve on the original plan. All three projects (a master bathroom remodel, a kitchen and family room remodel, and the design and construction of a magnificent screened in outdoor living room that our cats also love) have surpassed our hopes and expectations, even years later. And Brian 100% stands behind the quality of his work.

In addition to the quality of his work, Brian's communication is stellar. He is direct, proactive in keeping clients updated, and takes the time to answer questions and make sure we are on the same page. He has vetted and built trust with the subcontractors and suppliers he uses, which in turn helps me trust the work being done as well as feeling good about the people who are in our home. Brian has a great sense of humor, and at the end of the day, is someone I have enjoyed talking about life, family, and other very human conditions with. For me, knowing someone has good character and lives their life with integrity is just as important as the quality of their work, and Brian encompasses all of these things and more!”

“Choosing Brian & Come Home Design for our kitchen remodel was one of the best decisions I ever made! His process was very thoughtful and detailed. He asked us to think about a lot of different aspects of how we wanted our kitchen to work for us, and he took the time to make computer drawings of all the cabinets as well as the layout for traffic flow, and the amount of space needed between island and appliances for the most efficient use of our space. He designed and built a beautiful custom display cabinet for my special dishes and created the most amazing walk-in pantry.

Once all the design decisions and drawings were done and the work started, there were no delays with subcontractors and NO MISTAKES. All the work was done to our specifications and nothing needed to be changed or fixed. The remodel was done on time and on budget.

It was a pleasure having Brian and his team in our home and I love my kitchen!”

— Pam C.

“Can't recommend Brian enough.

We had a major remodeling done in our house. The end result was better than we hoped at about the cost estimated — we did bump up a little but that was discussed before.

The beauty of working with Brian is his attention to details, his passion, his making sure we knew what was going to happen, discussing things from our perspective, and the artistic touches he added throughout.

The result was as close to perfect as possible.”

— Al S.

“Come Home and Brian completed an extensive remodel and updating of our home. His design sense was especially helpful. The upfront planning was an important part of the success of the project which was completed on time and in budget.

He has great people skills, listened carefully, and is very kind. He resolves unexpected situations with grace. He communicates well, returns phone calls, keeps appointments, meets scheduled deadlines and gives clear explanations. Attention to detail and quality work are hallmarks of his work.

His subs are especially wonderful. He uses people who are excellent at their crafts and are committed to quality work.

I recommend Brian to others and would work with him again.”

— Kathy Q.

“I have worked with Brian at Come Home Design & Remodel for a few years. He is very detail-oriented and dedicated to supplying the best possible solution for any space. He makes a positive connection with his clients, determining their needs and expectations and delivers! His attention to detail and the resulting installation of cabinetry is second to none! He uses the best sources available to assure a great experience. A remodel can be stressful, and communication is crucial to achieve a new space created specifically for each client. I would and have recommend Brian for any project in the home!”
