Reviews

We just completed a fantastic outdoor living space with Spring Creek Design. Pete and Sandy and their team were wonderful partners throughout the whole process. Our start was delayed by COVID restrictions, but they started as soon as the regulations allowed and were very thorough and conscientious with all recommended precautions for themselves and all sub contractors.

From the new design, to the carpentry, stone work, patio work, electrical and landscaping, everything was well coordinated and came together beautifully! Communication and updates were clear and ongoing.

We can’t wait to enjoy the rest of the summer and fall and many more to come in our new space. We highly recommend Spring Creek Design!

The team made this progress great from beginning to end. SCD challenged me on the limited assumptions I had for my space – in ways that ended in a better project. They figured out magic to fit in a 2nd full bath upstairs in a 50’s split level – did I say magic!? (And other great design solutions for a small home.) SCD got my style and shopped for everything and adjusted when I gave feedback for something different. They were on the job & communicating status. The app used for visibility of budget, schedule, selections, etc is the kind of tool that keeps everyone on the same page. When I had questions, they were answered. My opinions and questions were never a problem nor a point for argument but a conversation to find a resolution or provide information.

I lived in my home during most of the project from demo to framing and through completion. The whole team (SCD through subs) was respectful that this was my home. It was disruptive and stressful at times. I cannot imagine working with a different team during this process.

My project – Reconfigure bedroom level to add a full bath & change existing bathroom to an ensuite. Demo above-ground ‘basement’ (including moving plumbing in concrete) to create a family room, workout area, laundry, powder room & a lot of storage!

We hired Spring Creek Design because we needed to plan and design a multi-scope (mostly exterior) “facelift” that could be both designed and managed by one design build contractor to see the entire project through successfully.

Spring Creek listened to our needs, presented fresh design ideas that ultimately were executed into a beautiful and well managed job well done.

Their web based project tracking is a great way to follow the project from beginning to end. We would definitely recommend Spring Creek as a design build remodeling contractor!

High praise for the whole experience. Sandy and Coop were awesome. Solid design help before we even started the engagement. Several great suggestions that actually lowered our costs and suited our needs better (great LISTENING!). Execution was timely, with weekly sit downs that kept the project on track and demystified the project.

There were a couple of small hiccups that were handled very quickly and very fairly. The team involved, including the subs were polite, pleasant and -dare I say it – fun!

Finally the quality of the work and the finished product really exceeded expectations. Last comment, and an insider tip – ask for Kyra and Jason.

We could not be happier with our 1st Floor Master Suite Addition and the remodel of the Master Bath upstairs.
When we first met with Pete we were unsure if and addition was even feasible due to the shape of our lot and township requirements. Oliver, the architect came through with a plan that kept us in the required boundaries and delivered everything we asked for.
Once the project started the schedule was maintained despite the winter weather. Jason, our project manager kept things progressing and suggested ideas to solve any issues that came along.
Kyra, our designer gave creative guidance with selections and overall design. She kept us within budget and provided images of the design which were very helpful.
The whole SCD team made the process easy. Their attention to detail is outstanding. Weekly meetings with Pete, Sandy, Jason and Kyra helped not only to keep everyone informed but reduced stress throughout the process. Most importantly, they listened and addressed all the concerns we had. Their online Builder Trend program was also very helpful providing access to all aspects of the project.
We enjoyed working with the SCD team and all the subcontractors. They turned our idea into reality. We highly recommend them.

We are extremely pleased with SCD’s efforts to overhaul our property and the only thing we would do differently in the future would be to call them sooner. They completed a whole-house renovation in three months and seamlessly worked through FOUR Winter Nor’easters. Scope included: new two floor addition (vaulted family room with exercise room on floor below), garage expansion, complete exterior makeover (siding, roof, 75 yard driveway, septic expansion, rainwater diversions & drain field, and sidewalk). They also roughed-in some of our new master suite that I’ll be finishing on my own as a hobby. Their quality of work and craftsmanship were exceptional – no corners were cut and they went above and beyond what I would do in most cases.

The SCD team is very knowledgeable & creative and they provided several options that we had not considered during the many years of planning & dreaming. Once we decided on what we wanted, the contract was signed and all of our headaches went away – seriously. Their team effectively managed the entire project while we conducted our professional lives without disruption.

Their internet-accessible project management software enabled us to always be aware of when things were going to happen and when payments were due.

The SCD team is very dedicated to customer satisfaction and they quickly responded when we had questions/concerns. Throughout the process their fun personalities made the experience very enjoyable and it truly was bittersweet when the project ended. Give Pete at Spring Creek Design a call, you won’t be disappointed.

We worked with Spring Creek Design on a large project, the majority of our first floor was completely renovated. We were very happy with the design-build component — the architect, designer, and contractors all worked together continuously and efficiently throughout the project. Our project manager, Jason, was on-site overseeing all contractors throughout the entire project — his attention to detail and client advocacy was consistent and impressive. One of the reasons we hired Spring Creek Design was because of their open communication and client-centered advocacy throughout the process. We love our new space, our designer, Kyra, got to know our preferences and tirelessly helped us with the sometimes overwhelming amount of selections to be made. We recommend them not just for their expert work and professionalism during the project, but for the follow-up they do after the project as well.

We hired Spring Creek Design to renovate our 40 year old ranch style home. Pete, the owner, stayed close to our project from start to finish. Kyra, our designer, was superb. Her attention to detail, design aesthetic, and positive attitude made for a great experience with phenomenal results. They held 10-12 contractors to a strict schedule finishing within 12 weeks which matched the timeframe we were given. Thanks Spring Creek Design! We absolutely love our newly renovated home!!

Spring Creek Design (SCD) remodeled my basement and created a new laundry room from the original closet. This was my first major remodeling project.

I can’t stress enough how smoothly my project went. Everyone was super friendly, professional, and responsive. They were always in communication with me. I always knew the status and the cost of my project. Peter and Josh had wonderful building ideas, especially when it came to the laundry room. Lyndsey was outstanding with the design and she has an incredible eye for color.

I also had wonderful carpentry work done with built-in bookshelves and drying racks. They listened to my ideas and desires, and everything came together so beautifully. I recommend SCD highly.

We worked with Pete and Spring Creek to add an outdoor patio and screened porch to our home, with two new sets of french doors and an outdoor kitchen setup. Pete helped us come up with awesome ideas for the project (which ended up differently than we originally planned due to permit/setback issues). We are very happy with the way the project turned out and highly recommend Spring Creek Design — lots of innovative yet practical ideas and high-quality work.

We’ve done many renovations of the years with various contractors, but Pete & company were head-and-shoulders the best so far. They worked with us for nearly two years refining the design and patiently waiting for our financing to come through. As the project commenced, they displayed an attention to detail and insistence that every step was completed correctly and to our satisfaction. I felt like we had an advocate for us in every phase of the project, ensuring that any installation issues be corrected immediately other than arguing against us. In the end, they were all friendly and fun to work with. I truly looked forward to the weekly meetings with the team. I recommend Spring Creek to anyone looking for a contractor and assure them that they will be very pleased.

We hired Spring Creek Design to remodel our master bathroom. It was my least favorite room in the house and now it’s favorite. Their initial estimate was reasonably accurate. The project manager was excellent. The work was done quickly and they really stand behind their work. We would definitely hire them again and recommend them to others.

Spring Creek Design fully renovated our walk out basement eight years ago and Pete Cooper just came out to give an estimate on a sunroom project last week. Why we will always use SCD:

The quality of work is simply excellent.

Follow-through, follow-up, and responsiveness exceed industry standards (we’vehad many opportunities to be disappointed by “can’t-see-it-from-my-house” designers and contractors in our last couple decades as homeowners).

SCD’s process of generating a path and goal for the work — with related estimates, contracts, designs/options, and timelines — is clearly laid out during Pete’s site visits and presentations that allow ample time (and extend a whole lot of patience and thoughtfulness) for discussions of all questions and concerns.

Pete is a good man — his character comes through in his respect/rapport with clients and his quality of work. He’s not selling you anything. He’s helping you identify and achieve your vision of your space, which is very personal and very important, and his skills and resources to that end are an impressive combination of professional experience and personableness/compassion.

Based on our experience: You will know exactly what you’re getting into with Spring Creek Design from day one. And Pete will take excellent care of you and your space.

Spring Creek Design recently completed a major home renovation for our family. We live in a mid 1960’s ranch house which had smaller rooms with little storage and very little natural light. We took on the ambicious task with Spring Creek of taking out all of the walls in the main living space and redesigning our home. Pete spent time talking to our family, teenagers included, to understand how we lived in our home and how we wanted to live in our home. Oliver’s designs were terrific and really captured our vision for a new home. Sandy helped us navigate the selection process of all the choices one has to make when undertaking such a large project, keeping us from being too overwhelmed. And there is Greg, who is there on site during the construction overseeing all of the work being done. Greg is outstanding and made a life altering event very managable. Our family of four and two big labrador retrievers stayed in our home during the construction.

We can honestly say we felt “zero” contractor stress.

There are certainly challenges with any home improvement project but Spring Creek Design works with great people and manages the home owners’ project so we did not have to worry about anything. Things did come up and did need to be taken care of but Spring Creek was always quick, responsive and got us a resolution. Pete was always available and made sure we were happy with the plans and the execution.

We abolutely love the new house! The transformation of our home really is amazing! It is bright and spacious and we love being connected to the outside after years of feeling cut off from what was going on in the neighborhood. We are entertaining more and the kids love having their friends over now. Everyone who sees the place is blown away at how beautifiul it is and amazed the project was completed on time, on budget, and that we lived in the house during the renovation.

We would definitely use Spring Creek Design again!

We wanted to upgrade our patio into an outdoor living area. The project required a multi-angled roof to blend into existing roof lines.

Other components included a dining area, living area with TV, second level patio for a firepit, and privacy walls to partially enclose the space. Pete provided a contemporary design, while Greg was excellent as a day-to-day project manager.

We also benefitted from Trish’s focus on customer service.

We had a great experience working with Spring Creek Design. We needed a company that would help us reimagine the 80s raised ranch we had just purchased to take advantage of the views it afforded. We knew we needed to open the existing kitchen to the living and dining areas, but there were a lot of different directions that could have taken.

Pete Cooper met us at the house a few days after our offer was accepted, and he immediately understood what we saw in the house. We talked for a long time that first day, and a few days later he came out to the house we were selling to get a feel for our tastes and preferences. That meeting lasted a few hours, too, and I think a bottle of wine disappeared during the conversation.

It was the first of many we’d share with Pete and Sandy as we considered several design iterations. They were always consummate professionals, setting the tone upfront by using BuilderTrend to describe the process and timeline, and providing daily updates. They always showed up when they said they would, and were completely prepared.

The design process was collaborative. Pete and Sandy often took our cue on particular details, and we used Houzz extensively to exchange ideas and to nail down choices. But Pete pushed us several times to consider different approaches, many of which make the finished project truly unique.

The demo/build process went pretty much like clockwork, thanks to Gregg Jackson, Spring Creek’s project manager. Gregg was on site every day, overseeing construction and keeping tabs on everything. This was a complicated project that required removing a stairway, replacing a load-bearing wall with Douglas fir beams, and relocating some plumbing. Gregg was superb throughout, always making sure that the quality of the work was up to his high standards.

We’re thrilled with the results: our house is simultaneously modern and warm, functional and beautiful, refined and rustic. It’s more than we had any right to expect, and it’s largely due to the great work of Spring Creek Design.

Pete and Spring Creek designed and finished our basement for us. He came up with a great design that was different than what everyone else in our neighborhood had done.

The design also addressed everything we wanted out of our basement. Everything was very up front and I knew exactly what was occurring. Everything was right on schedule and the rest of our house remained untouched.

Working with Spring Creek was a great experience. I can’t wait to work with Spring Creek again

Pete Cooper and his team at Spring Creek Design renovated a large section of our basement to create an area for entertaining for our family. The space includes an area for billiards, a custom designed and built bar top and a theatre area.

Pete was great to work with and collaborate with on bringing this project to life. When we started the process of finding a contractor, we interviewed several companies up and down the price spectrum and Pete was upfront about what his firm could do as well as properly setting our expectations on the cost. He told us that Spring Creek would not be the least expensive option we could find but he assured us that they would be the best group to help create the custom space we were looking for and they delivered on that promise with solutions for every challenge we faced.

The space Spring Creek designed and built created for us is featured on this site as “sophisticated man cave”.

I highly recommend Pete and Spring Creek design.

SCD just completed an extensive home remodel for me based on the “Not so Big” philosophy coined by Sarah Susanka. It was an extensive project that included a complete kitchen and master bath gut, internal structural reworking and many details that are required with a converted open concept living/dining area. The design creation (I wanted an “out of the box” result), service rendering and collaborative experience were top notch. I’ve heard many stories from friends about botched reno’s, even with honest and well meaning contractors. My experience was peace of mind throughout the project- knowing things were going to be done to a unique standard of excellence. The life-time guarantee offered by SCD demonstrates their commitment to quality. I did extensive homework, as I recommend anyone does for a large project and the previous clients shared my experience with SCD. At completion, I have nothing but the highest praise for Pete and Sandy (husband and wife owners), as well as Gregg, the project manager. Gregg was there at every step holding the subs to account and making sure things were done correctly and cost effectively. When inevitable miscommunications occured, the team always took the high road and handled things openly and fairly. Thorough communication with Pete (as well as the rest of the team) and the high tech “BuilderTREND” application made managing the details of the project transparent and fun. I now have a home that gets steep praise and more importantly delivers a feeling of calm and gratitude, each time I walk in the door.

We’ve used Spring Creek Design for many projects around our house — big and small. Built in entertainment center, basement remodeling, new side entrance (cutting through our foundation), new deck, completely reworked pool area, and on and on. Pete’s operation is top-notch. Quality of the work is extremely high and they stand behind what they’ve done for years after project completion. Deisgn work is innovative and exciting.

While we’ve used Spring Creek generally for high-end projects, they are also extremely price conscious and able to work within a budget. All pricing is upfront and honest.

Highest recommendation.

We have used Spring Creek Design for two projects and we have had nothing but positive experience.
They manage expectations better than any design/construction firms we have worked with in the past and their creativity has solved problmes that we have been very happy with with our Cabana and Walk Out basement area.

They use technology to make the communication between us and Spring Creek staff as easy as possible and follow up on completed and future projects are exceptional. We are working on a future project and I do not stress as much as I know they will make the process easy for us and always have ideas to solve issues.

Our garage and an attached room were converted into an updated work out room, mud room and living room. Contractors set out a budget for every aspect of the project and helped us pick fixtures that both met the budget and worked well with the space. They were on time and kept the subcontractors on time, respectful and clean. They never added or subtracted anything without checking with us first and were always available to answer any questions or concerns we had. They have even come back to check on a few things for us!!

Sprinkcreek Design renovated our first home, a 1,710 square foot 100 year old home in West Chester boro. They redid our entire first floor, restored our flooring throughout the house and our second full bathroom. Starting the process, Pete encouraged us to give him any big ideas we had despite our limited space. His design was creative beyond any small home renovation I’ve ever seen. The entire SCD team was a pleasure to work with. Our end result was really cool with an open floor plan, custom kitchen island and exposed brick. We outgrew the house and it sold last year in five days. Now we can hardly wait to start customizing the house we bought with Springcreek Design.
I highly recommend them. Their collective intelligence and creativity are unmatched and have changed the way we view renovating and living in our home.

Pete did a beautiful job with our kitchen remodel. We ran into some issues with the structure of the house but he was still able to keep within our budget. His design touches made the room look like it belonged to a much more expensive home. We had to move since then but I miss the new kitchen more than anything about that house.

Spring Creek Design did a excellent job renovating our 3rd floor. They put in a new bedroom, office, and bathroom. There attention to detail and process was outstanding and left no loose ends. They assisted with design, used a website and google docs to manage the construction (which was very efficient), and even did 3 follow ups after project was done to make sure everything was still ok. We are planning on using them again for our next project and will refer them to all our friends!

We had our old, falling down deck replaced with an outdoor living area patio, complete with adobe fireplace. The final product is beautiful, and there was much attention to detail put into the entire job- resulting in a gorgeous product.

We continually get compliments on the new outdoor living area by friends and family. The quality of the materials used was supreme.

I can’t say enough about how satisfied we are with the results of our relationship with Spring Creek Design. Pete, Sandy and the Spring Creek Design team totally transformed both the interior and exterior of our home. The changes we made went far beyond mere cosmetic fixes. Pete listened to our complaints about how the house functioned and set about making fundamental changes that not only addressed our needs but added a “wow” factor to every element of the project.

In short, Pete’s commitment to smart design, utilizing sustainable materials, superior project management processes and total budget/cost transparency result in a wholehearted endorsement of Spring Creek Design for your next project.

Spring Creek Design renovated a kitchen, dining area, master bath, and laundry area. Pete and Sandy were just excellent to work with. They listened to our needs, appreciated our tastes, and came up with designs that have worked very well for us and have gotten many complements.

There was a lot of reconstruction, – removing two walls, moving or adding doorways, totally rebuilding a fireplace, but the project stayed on schedule and budget. Most important, since we are very picky about construction details, the finished job met our quality and esthetic requirements.

We subsequently hired them to do some minor repairs (termite damage) to a garage wall. That project was straightforward and, as expected, met our cost and schedule requirements.

Spring Creak Design has helped me to completely renovate my kitchen and two bathrooms. It has transformed how I live in my home. They are extremely professional and highly focused on effective project and budget management – not to mention their flare for creative design and sustainability ideas.

I am now evaluating an outdoor kitchen and living space project with them and am looking forward to the experience

everything about spring creek was excellent….from the designing of my kitchen…to the actual remodeling….they finished a week early….it was a pure joy to work with them …..everyone that walks into my kitchen is blown away by how cool it is….

It was a pleasure to work with the entire Spring Creek design team during our basement, mudroom, and kitchen renovation during the fall of 2009. The team completed the work on time, within budget, and quickly came up with many creative and cost-effective solutions to the problems that arise when you’re doing extensive work with an older home. All of the subcontractors were prompt, professional, clean, and highly skilled. I was especially impressed that Pete and Oliver nailed the design on the first shot without revisions! Sandy also provided thoughtful color selections to enhance the decor of our new space. I can recommend Spring Creek design with out hesitation, and they would be my first choice for any large, future projects. Spring Creek provides an excellent blend of technical know-how, attention to detail, design sophistication, and excellent customer service.

Pete and his team did a complete refinishing of our basement. It was done in two stages: the first included designing the empty space to make it most functional for us. We needed apartment type living as our daughter and two granddaughters are living with us. We wanted as much light as possible which he accomplished with the installation of extra windows and great lighting. In addition to a living area, we needed a desk area, a bedroom and bath and plenty of usable storage. He covered existing support posts and added closets. The second stage was begun after three years when we decided a kitchen was also needed so Pete again used his design expertise by converting the desk area into a wonderful kitchen which includes plenty of cabinet and counter top space, a refrigerator, sink, dishwasher and stove along with the addition of a beautiful, functional breakfast bar.

Pete and his carpenters, plumbers and others were always respectful, on time and kept us abreast of what was happening on a daily basis. There were no unexpected delays. We could not have asked for a better outcome.
