The quality of the work by Change Design Group to design and install cabinetry for our den was truly exceptional. We are pleased beyond measure with the results! Of particular importance to us was the design which captured fully our unique requirements; which took full advantage of the room’s unusual configuration; and which incorporated especially attractive lighting. Beyond that, the workmanship is superb – the fit and finish are just exquisite. The overall effect is one of subtle drama brought about by an elegant and warming atmosphere. Whether measured in terms of beauty, functionality, or value, the remodeled den surpasses our highest expectations. Our thanks to all of the Change Design Group team for a job really well done!

Through creative and thoughtful planning, the Change Design Group helped us create a home that is beautiful as well as amazingly functional. As we progressed though each stage of the design and installation of our new kitchen, family room and master bathroom cabinetry, Change Design Group offered the perfect blend of creativity, organization and exacting attention to detail. Our dream home is now a beautiful reality!

We had contracted Change Design Group to do a basement library, including a large custom desk, bookshelves, a backsplash, and trim. We couldn't be more delighted with the finished product. 1. First, it is clear that Jeff and his team are master craftsmen. The attention to detail, the quality of the cherry (grain, cut, stain, and installation), and the assembly were first-rate. When I compare it to sub-contracted work in the same space, the differences are obvious. 2. Second, the team is creative while taking feedback. They are good listeners, quickly capturing our vision and translating into a range of options at different price points. They helped us make the required trade-offs while preserving the vision we had. When something didn't look quite as we had imagined, they were quick to change it. When solutions eluded us, they were ready with functional and efficient answers. I felt that they were true partners in the creative process. 3. Third, they met required timelines without cutting corners. If it meant staying late, they stayed late. If it meant weekend work, they worked on the weekend, always while being respectful our of schedule. 4. Fourth, they are meticulous and clean. Despite the fact that many of our larger pieces required finished carpentry to happen on site, there was never a grain of sawdust after they had finished for the day. When our carpets were installed, they took care to cover and preserve them; when other contractors needed the space, they ensured their work was preserved from all possible mishap. We appreciated this pride in their work and attention to cleanliness. As with all custom work of this scale, it took time, and several meetings to work out details. But in terms of honest labor, quality construction, beauty, and creative gusto, Change Design Group is the best game in town. We would recommend them to anyone, and they are the only partners we would choose for any further work.

Change Design Group designed and installed our home's library. Jeff, Mike & Rohan made the whole experience quite simple for us. They designed shelving that met our style needs and suggested ideas that we hadn't thought of ourselves. The materials were delivered on time as promised and installed without disruption to our schedule or our home. Our home remained clean throughout the job due to the care they took. When we get ready to re-do our kitchen, Change Design Group is who I'll call.

We give Jeff Burch the highest accolades for his impeccable work. Not only is he an extremely talented craftsman, he is detail-oriented, responsive, reliable, creative and just a really great guy. He treated our home as if it were his own. He is committed to delivering the highest quality finished product for his clients and is definitely someone you will want to hire for your next home improvement project.

I cannot think of enough superlatives to rate Jeff Burch and his work. I have used him for 3 rather large projects and have been thrilled each time.The designs he created are beautiful, practical, and entirely functional. When he was in my home during times when I was away at work, I felt totally comfortable. He keeps an immaculate work area and tidies up at the end of each day. He has a pleasant personality and is utterly professional in all that he does. I am thrilled with the results of these projects and will use him again for anything that needs attention. The last thing I want to include has actually nothing to do with the projects for which Jeff was hired. The Chicago area had a two-day torrential downpour which left about 2 inches of water in my basement. Without so much as a hint from me, Jeff showed up unannounced on a Sunday and pumped out my entire large basement using his own equipment. Enough said -- he saved my having to go to the basement and mop, an unpleasant task to say the least. He's the best!

Jeff re-created our basement in '06 from an empty space to a work of art, so nice we almost didn't want our kids to use it as their place in the house. Jeff built a bathroom, laundry room,workshop, bedroom and huge open plan play area with movie theater using the space available to the greatest effect. His architectural plans were detailed and his patience and willingness to listen to our needs enabled us to get what we really wanted. His attention to detail is second to none, so much so that when we have had other contractors and tradesmen walk through my basement they have all commented on the workmanship and wanted Jeff's contact number! It has been 3 years since the construction was complete and we have had no issues that usually arise with such projects such as cracking, wiring, leaks, etc. It still looks brand new. I would strongly recommend that you would use Jeff to complete any job for your home and you can be free of worry that he will cut corners or leave you unsatisfied with his work, I can promise you his standards are higher than yours!
