Testimonials
Excel Design and Build was highly recommended to us by a trusted professional who had worked with Jeff and Mike Ryan for many years. From our very first meeting, we were impressed by their openness, honesty, and straightforward approach. We wanted to remodel our first floor and add a large pantry. They were able to start right after finishing their current project, which impressed us — they made sure to complete their previous work and ensure the client was satisfied before moving on to ours. Jeff presented a clear proposal with fair, realistic pricing and offered excellent ideas for managing cost. Both Mike and Jeff are meticulous in their work, never cutting corners or rushing through tasks. We are absolutely delighted with our remodel and wholeheartedly recommend them.

In 2024, we moved ahead with some remodeling work to our home. Our realtor gave us the name of Excel Design & Build that she had received good comments about from one of her other clients. They were very happy with the work done and were pleased that Excel was very flexible and easy to work with. We reached out to Jeff, the owner of Excel Design, and we met to discuss the remodeling that we had in mind. Jeff was very helpful in advising us on the work and he helped us to firm up our plans. He quoted us a price that we were pleased with. As the work began, we identified additional work scopes such as adding the remodeling of our basement bathroom into the scope of work. The overall scope was increased, and the additional cost was a combination of fixed amounts and variable amounts when the work could not be completely determined such as the adjustment of most of the basement doors that did not close properly. Jeff and his brother, Michael, as well as the subcontractors did excellent work that we found to be impressive. The team was patient with us and flexible in adjusting both the scope and schedule as needed. We are very pleased with the completed remodeling, and we would use Excel Design & Build again if we have additional work to be done. We found that Excel Design is very willing to take on both large scopes and minor addons. Jeff is a man of faith and that gives us strong assurance and confidence that the work will be done both properly and reasonably. Excel Design is our “go to” contractor going forward.

My parents first used Excel Design & Build more than 30 years ago when they hired Jeff to build a sunroom and deck. Since them my husband and I have used him for many projects, both small and large, including a 3rd car garage, kitchen remodel, tile and carpeting jobs, and most recently a master bath remodel. Jeff has very high standards and is always willing to work with us with design suggestions. He has sub-contractors that he has used for many years, and they all do excellent work. Jeff and his team are honest and trustworthy, and Jeff is very good with communication. We are always happy with the finished product!

After Windsor was hit with a bad hail storm we contacted Jeff with Excel Design & Build and we are glad we did. They took care of all the hail damage we had to our home. New roof, windows, deck, hand railing, total exterior paint and new fence. Jeff was able to negotiate with our insurance company for damage that the adjuster missed. I would highly recommend Excel Design & Build.

We are so glad we decided to use Excel Design & Build when we had our hail damage last year in Windsor. Jeff Ryan and his team pointed out so many things that our adjuster had missed, and was able to get everything covered that was missed. Not only did they do an excellent job on our roof, but the trim work, painting and window repair was also done for us to complete satisfaction. We also found it was to our benefit to work with a local company versus all the storm chasers we had knocking on our door (who just wanted to sign us up for roof coverage only). Working with a general contractor is always a benefit for everyone involved, and I can't tell you how thankful we are Jeff went to bat for us on several items originally not covered. Thank you Jeff for your quality service and keeping everything you worked on within budget numbers as well.

I wanted to mention that after the completion of my remodeled bathroom I can only say what a pleasure it has been to deal with the Integrity and promptness of your business. What a heart for quality and yet an aspect of caring for people that is not normal in this day and age. After having worked together on several projects over the years I can only appreciate your character and outstanding efforts in the building trade.

When we were debating a major kitchen renovation, the prospect of finding a reliable contractor and dealing with subcontractors made the project seem overwhelming. Excel Design & Build came highly recommended and made the process painless as well as providing a first rate finished product. Jeff Ryan and his staff made good recommendations, were thorough and handled all logistics with subcontractors. They honored the terms of the contract and cleaned up every day. The attention to detail in the finish work is especially impressive.
