We used Synergy Builders for our kitchen remodel in Westmont. Overall I think the most important thing during a remodel is to finish on time and on budget and Synergy nailed both those (we actually finished a day early). There were no major surprises and we did have a few little changes throughout the way but our project manager (Brad) talked through all of that, offered great suggestions, and got the work done on schedule. I would definitely recommend Synergy for all major remodels like we did. We essentially made our dining room and kitchen into one big kitchen. At the beginning of the process

Synergy did an excellent job on our home remodeling! Kate, our designer and Brad our project manager were very professional, helpful and quality minded. The crews were top notch professionals who took pride in a quality job! They have a nice showroom that allows you to select cabinets, flooring, tile, counter tops and more under 1 roof with a designer and 3 options of pricing to choose from to stay within your budget. They also use a phone apt to show latest schedule and work order changes w-email to allow for renovation at your fingertips! They minimized the dust with covering floors and rooms

We absolutely love our home that we created with Synergy Builders! They were great from beginning to end. John helped us from the very start in choosing the house and seeing through with important structural decisions. Our designer made the process so easy. We enjoyed making the important design choices, Synergy has a great showroom with lots of options from which to choose. We would recommend Synergy to anyone! They are a wonderful company.

We love our new built-in cabinets! We knew Synergys reputation, but we figured it wouldnt hurt to get a few bids from local handymen and independent carpenters. Turned out Synergys work was higher quality AND saved us a few thousand dollars compared to the other quotes. Installation was convenient and professional, and the team made sure everything was perfect. Couldnt be happier

Synergy did a wonderful job transforming our master bath and turning the sitting room into more closet space. John did a great job setting our expectations and working with the team to create a plan that fit our budget. Our designer, Kate, was so helpful with choosing finishes and fixtures. Construction started on time and the crews cleaned up daily, no hassles. Our project manager Eric checked in with regular updates. Such a pleasant experience and the new space is beautiful - would highly recommend Synergy!

We met with two other contractors before deciding on Synergy. One of the reasons we felt Synergy was excellent was their willingness to work with us in our budget. When looking at design options and then cabinet/counter options post design, they kept us in our budget range and openly let us know what would cause costs to go up and down. Nothing unexpected popped up in the entire process. During the project you choose your method of contact. We appreciated that we could mainly use text and email with our busy schedules. The Project Manager was always available to answer questions and meet on site
