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.

Extremely high quality/craftsmanship and wonderful design. They really listened to us about our wants and design style. The job was completed on time and within the budget. They get our highest recommendation.

Melton redesigned the entrance to my home as well as interior space and constructed a pergola for shade and aesthetics. Every step was meticulously planned and executed. The design staff was patient, thoughtful and creative. The construction management was organized, punctual and considerate. The Melton construction team's extreme attention to detail added unimaginable value and beauty to the design. In spite of supply chain disruptions and poor weather, Melton completed the project on time and the quality of the work exceeded all my expectations.Services: Tile work installation, Home renovations, Carpentry services, Drywall installation, Home addition construction, Space planning, Concrete pouring

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.Service: General construction

We've worked with Melton twice - once for our kitchen remodel, and once for bathroom remodeling. We have been incredibly pleased with our experience, from beginning to end, and know that we made the right choice when we decided to work with Melton. Kudos to Benjamin Fernandez, who was our project manager for both projects - he is patient, thorough in his explanations, and always made us feel that no "bump in the road" is insurmountable. We love the way everything looks! Thank you, Melton!!

We used Melton Design Build for a kitchen remodel in spring 2015. First of all, we absolutely love the finished product and look forward to enjoying it for years to come! The Melton team (project managers, design, construction, etc) is the most professional team we have ever worked with. They had great ideas and were also very attentive and open to our choices as well. They met or exceeded expectations throughout. Our lead carpenter was outstanding and a great person to have onsite everyday. Really appreciate the attention to detail and high quality craftsmanship with all the work. The whole team from start to finish really made it a smooth process for us. Looking forward to doing the next project with Melton and would highly recommend!

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.

We just completed a major master bath remodel with Melton that included moving some fixtures and installation of a large steam shower. Every milestone in the project plan was met on time and delivered at a high level of quality!After completing a major kitchen flip / remodel with another contractor, we were looking for a team that could provide better design assistance, attention to detail and quality of workmanship. Melton delivered on all of these and then some. This was our first project working with Melton, and I can honestly say that I don't believe it will be our last!Thank you to Karen, Emily, Kelly, Mike, Gianna and the rest of the Melton team for an outstanding remodel experience!

Goodbye construction headaches! As a design and construction professional, I rarely find the quality of service that Melton offers. Everyone I have had the opportunity to work with on our house renovation has offered great service. In particular, our project manager (Benjamin Fernandez) has delivered the project within schedule and budget, aware of our needs and overcoming some difficult unforeseen conditions. Highly recommended team

We were very pleased with our kitchen remodel with Melton. The project was finished promptly (ahead of schedule, I think) and the results were fantastic. It was very easy to work with the team (Ben, Nick and Danielle, primarily) at all phases of the project, and they were very responsive to, and understanding of, our concerns and requests. We would certainly want to work with them again.

We are so happy to have chosen Melton Design Build for our large-scale home remodel. The entire team worked so well together for us for the entire project, and were excellent communicators throughout the process. We did the lion's share of this from out of state and had complete confidence in their integrity when we were not able to be on-site. Emails, phone calls and FaceTime when we could not be there were timely and consistent, and we never felt that too much time went by without a quick response. What we anticipated being a potentially stressful process truly was not; our working relationship with them for the entirety of it was wonderful. The quality of all of the work was exactly what we had hoped, and the occasional changes to plans were dealt with quickly and smoothly. This is definitely not the least expensive company we interviewed, but we have been so thankful many times over that we chose Melton. Huge kudos to Adrian, Shawn, Jeremy, Renee, Reed and the entire Melton team! We love our new home and are so grateful for your expertise, attention to detail and ease of consistently good communication with us. Thank you!

We have worked with Melton Design Build on multiple projects for our home. Each experience gets better and better.We recently did a major overhaul on our kitchen. The communication was awesome, the attention to detail was stupendous and all the personnel were helpful, gracious and highly skilled.They were extremely considerate throughout the project to include accommodating our dogs and our work at home schedules.Melton will always be our go to for home improvement needs.

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.Service: Remodeling

We got several estimates before choosing Melton. While they were not the lowest, you get what you pay for. They were extremely prompt and professional, and our job was done beautifully. To our surprise, the drywall finisher even patched a few small holes we had left from a previous project just as a courtesy. Sometimes with contractors the estimator is very professional and then the workers who come are less so. With Melton, every single person involved with the job was professional and very competent.

It all started with a phone call to Melton on a couple of leaking windows we needed some advice on how best to repair. It led to a full remodel of a mud room and laundry room that we could not have been more satisfied with when it was completed on-time and with full transparency of the process. Every interaction from the first phone call, to every design & construction meeting, to each touch point in their company was professional, courteous, and respectful. We have even asked for their help with a few smaller projects that we have put off until we found that they could help us with them too! The quick recap is Melton has a great team, they try and succeed at doing things different (read better) than every other contractor we have come across before and each day progress was being made for an completed project with minimal disruption to our lives while in our home. If you can find better in Boulder area - let me know - because they were outstanding from start to finish. Our thanks again to their team.

We had some hail damage and since we were getting a new roof decided it was a good time to replace the nasty looking awning with something more modern.Calling around to various architects and builders in Boulder was a frustrating experience. Most were too busy to even talk about a smaller project. It sounds like a small thing, but the fact that Melton returned my call quickly and was interested in the job was a big plus. I’m happy to say that professionalism carried through for the entire project. I was continually impressed by how refined their entire process was. From the first meeting there was always a clear agenda and an explanation of the next steps.Working with Adrian and Matt during the design process was awesome. They took our half formed ideas an inspiration and brought them to life. They were happy to keep making revisions until we found something we were both happy with. Along the way we expanded the scope of the project quite a bit, and accordingly the budget was at the upper end of the range we’d agreed to. So we started working with them to scale the work back to fit a more modest budget.We had really enjoyed our meetings with our architect, Matt, so it was sad to see him go but we were exited to move on to our project manager, Scott, and get the building started. Scott did a great job of setting expectations for the timeline and impact on our family. He even helped coordinate with the roofing company to make sure the new work wouldn't interfere with our insurance claim.Once the work started their crew was awesome. Everyone, Jim, Mike, Dan and Diego, were sweating the details and making sure the work was right and everything was clean when they left. The highlight of my morning was getting the run down from the head carpenter, Jim, on what they were working on that day. I’m a software developer so I was fascinated seeing how they built something tangible. Jim was always happy to explain things and talk through the small design decisions that come up when you’re translating plans into wood and cement. They were true craftsmen.We’re really pleased with how our house turned out and I’d highly recommend Melton. They’re definitely not the cheapest way to go but their designers’ taste, management’s planning, and builders’ attention to detail is well worth it.

Professional, Reliable, Timely and Clean. Our Melton team met our expectations and delivered what they had promised. No remodeling or construction project is easy. Preparing for a project is fun and exciting then sucks the life out of you midway into it. What makes Melton unique is the anticipation of those issues prior to engagement of the project.They will be more expensive than all of your other bids but it has been worth it. I would recommend Melton without any reservation.

We have used Melton Design Build for two major projects, and we have been very happy with both. We found the staff to be very communicative, which is important during a house renovation. They were attentive when issues came up, as they always do. They also finished both projects within the time-line that we expected. Finally, while we have not had much of a need for follow up, if we have had anything arise, they have always come right over to help resolve the problem. I feel like their customer service extends far beyond the norm, and well after the completion of the project.I highly recommend this company.

We worked with Melton on an *almost* full home remodel, including kitchen, master bath, 3 baths, exercise room, flooring. The entire project was well-managed. The project manager, lead carpenter and the entire Melton crew were extremely talented, courteous and respectful to neighbors. Top quality work! The 4 month project was kept on track and delivered on time.

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!Services: General construction, Remodeling

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 BlankenshipProject ManagerGreenPoint Roofing

Melton has worked with our family on several projects in the past. Most recently, they fixed a roof leak and repaired drywall. Grahame, our representative, was excellent to work with. He let me know of any updates, schedule changes, etc. As before, i was very pleased with the results as well as the process. I would highly recommend them to anyone.

We love the Melton Design Build team from start to finish. The communication is excellent. They welcomed our input and worked to make our dreams a reality here in Boulder. The craftmanship is top notch, our second story addition is just what we asked for and came in on time and on budget. We also loved our crew, they were very family friendly and kept a watchful eye on our project. Thank you MDB!

We are very pleased with the quality of the workmanship on the kitchen and living room remodel which Melton just completed for us. Clay and Rio's attention to detail in the planning stage made the work go very smoothly. The planned timeline allowed time for exact work rather than just banging out the project quickly. Everyone involved in the project including the subcontractors was polite, kept the worksite clean, kept the site safe for our small children and went out of their way to make sure we were happy with their work. The carpenters Ron and Cliff obviously took pride in their work and took time to make sure that every detail was exactly correct. Our project manager Rio was very organized and did everything in his power to make us happy.I am sure that if someone is looking for a builder to do a remodel for them quicker and cheaper they can find one but they will not be able to find one that can do it better than Melton. We are very happy with our kitchen and will enjoy it for years to come.We highly recommend Melton to anyone looking for a quality remodel.

As a Structural Engineer that has worked with Melton Design Build for almost two decades, my experience with them has been a pleasure. They always try to balance client desires with client budgets and have really gone the extra mile to work with local building code design requirements and to come up with creative design options to blend code necessities with client needs. This is not an easy balancing act to complete but Melton Design Build does it regularly and over many years in the Boulder area.

What are some words and phrases to describe our experience with Melton...? Here are a few that come to mind: A+. 5-star. Top shelf. OMG, I cannot believe this is my home.We started working with Melton in the summer of 2017 to do a major remodel of the main floor (living room, entryway, kitchen, dining room) of our tired and dated early 70's Boulder home. From the initial contact, thru the many planning meetings that we had at Melton's office, to the construction itself, everything has wildly exceeded our expectations. We really didn't know what we wanted going into the project, and so didn't want to hire some ordinary general contractor who would show up with a toolbox and ask us what we wanted done. We wanted a company that could handle it all -- from interior design, to picking out everything from cabinets to toilet paper holders, to taking care of all of the demolition and construction, so we chose Melton Design Build. We really felt that we needed the 'Design' part that they brought to the table.Melton has their own in-house staff of planners and interior designers. Their office is a wonderland of cabinets, floors, countertops, etc. to look at for ideas and to choose from. The only choices we had to make that didn't involve their showroom were for appliances, and for that they sent us to yet another wonderland that I didn't even know existed (Specialty Appliances in Louisville). Through our many planning meetings they opened our eyes to many possibilities that we would not have even known existed if we had tried to plan this out ourselves. Thank you to Steven P, Christine D, and Jessica W for the many planning sessions and ideas about what was possible. Your work shines in the finished product.When it came time to start the demolition and construction, I was really impressed with not only the quality, but also the consistency of the crew. Melton has their own staff of carpenters and it was wonderful to have mostly the same Melton crew there at our house every day. Well before construction started there was a very detailed schedule that laid out start and end dates for every little aspect of the project. That schedule called for the project to be done on 4/24/18 -- the project finished on 4/26/18, two days "late" due to an unexpected situation that revealed itself only after demolition started. A 90 day project that ripped apart and put back together our entire main floor that essentially finished exactly when it said it would -- I call that amazing. We and our pets continued to live in the house (basement) throughout the whole project, and I was impressed with the respect that the crew afforded us in that regard. No pets escaped, the house was cleaned up (as much as reasonably possible) at the end of each work day, the crew arrived and departed at reasonable and consistent hours, etc. Thank you to Jim G (lead carpenter), Andy D, Peter K, and others on the Melton production crew who helped and who I'm sorry I didn't get to meet enough times to remember your names.We could not be happier, not only with the finished result, but with our choice of Melton Design Build to get us to that result. A few years down the road, when we are ready to turn our attention to other areas of our home that need a facelift, it will be a no-brainer on who we are going to work with.

After a year working with Melton planning our remodel, after endless hours reviewing drawings and attending meetings, they call me out of the blue one day and say I was clearly unhappy. I assured "Andy" (?) that all was well but he persisted, finally saying his staff felt we were angry and they would therefore allow us to break the contract and part ways. We were GOBSMACKED! We shared glasses of wine at our meetings, laughed together and had them to our home! Then they tried to convince my husband that I was the one who said I wanted out (to avoid having to return funds). This attempt to undermine the trust between a couple to their benefit (luckily not possible in our case) was in very poor taste.Looking back, there were signs that all was not well or as it seemed: I wrote them several times saying I felt the interior designer was not the right fit. Each time they simply convinced me she was. They insisted on their choice of cabinet company (Porcelanosa) even though it wasn't what I was looking for. When I drove to Denver to meet the team there just to give it a fair look, it turned out the cabinets had already been picked out (the shop had printouts with their model numbers plugged in to pictures of my kitchen that I had never seen) and I was told to simply choose the color! I refused (obviously) and naïvely suggested we check out the cool shop next door (German Kitchens) which was more what I was looking for. The crazy thing is they acted so nice the whole time, agreeing to look next door, complimenting me on my design aesthetic and saying how they were getting so many requests for my more modern style since I introduced it to them. I left feeling like an awkward situation was averted but it was shortly after that that they ditched us. After a year of planning and so many fake smiles and handshakes, they simply walked away 30 days before groundbreaking.In retrospect we are relieved we hadn't broken ground, but it left a very bad taste. We've done many complex design projects both personally and professionally. We know that getting on the same page takes communication. We thought that process was complex but working. Clearly they did not. Or was it that we wanted a chance to review their drawings before we came to meetings? Or that we were not willing to be forced to use their cabinet company? Sometimes I wonder... but whatever it was, we honestly, we never saw it coming. Our project manager Krista was "nice" during the process but didn't even have the respect to call us herself to pull the rug out. Ryan the architect seemed decent. Emily, the interior designer, was terrible from the start.At the end of the day we recouped a decent amount of our deposit back, with some arm twisting. It's unclear looking back if anyone was being honest with us during that entire year or what to make of their fake smiles. They say customer happiness is their priority, but at what cost to honesty and integrity?

One of our main goals was that the addition to our home would look as if it was part of the original house plan and not an add-on. We had an incredible team to work with. The design team listened to and collaborated with us expertly so that the final product is just what we wanted while keeping budget in mind. Additionally, our building project manager was superb in his knowledge, attention to detail, excellent communication skills and heartfulness (yes, you read that correctly!); and our lead carpenter's skill, work ethic and humor was apparent throughout. A particular asset in working with Melton is their relationship with subcontractors so that the project ran smoothly and on time. We now have a home that is functional, beautiful and well-crafted.Daphne and Bruce S.

It was a pleasure working with Craig Batchelder, Ty Melton and the whole Melton DB crew. We cannot express our gratitude for their excellent disposition, attention to detail and resolve. We went into the process knowing that it would be stressful, long and painful but came out on the other side with nothing but fond memories. Melton DB certainly helped ease the anxiety by being there always with a smile and a thoughtful solution. We truly appreciate the hard work, commitment and dedication they put into building our house and we feel lucky we had Craig as the PM and Ty overseeing every step of the process; he even did carpentry work on the house on a Sunday morning all by himself. Talk about being hands-on! Again, our experience with Melton DB was extraordinary because the people working there care about us, the customers. I completely recommend Melton and will, not doubt, continue using them.

We used MDB for a large renovation project near downtown Boulder. Our house was a 1950's ranch, and we hired MDB to gut the original galley kitchen, open up the kitchen and main living area, add a laundry room, and pop the top for 2 additional bedrooms and bathrooms. We wanted a fast turnaround to minimize the disruption in life, high quality work, and ease of process as we both work full time and have 2 kids. Melton delivered on all 3 exceptionally well. Having their team under one roof was a major benefit, and they produced very specific cost spreadsheets and project timelines. Through the entire process there was a very high level of communication and professionalism. At the end of the project, the total cost matched the original quote and the few touch ups that were needed were completed timely. Our neighbors also remarked how courteous the MDB contractors were in keeping the site clean. I had an initial concern that a design/build firm would be more costly due to the overhead, however in the end I believe their approach produces a better product at lower cost. MDB won't be the cheapest or most expensive in town, but they deliver great value and high quality work. I would not hesitate to use them again or refer them to friends.
