Creative Design Build is a great contractor with a professional project manager Stephen B. Steve leads the project by listening to all his clients carefully to understand scope of work. He designs and develops the complete project and executes it beautifully with his team of Tony and others. CDB and Steve are fantastic to work with and learn from. Recommend them for all of your outdoor work needs. Great people to work with. Top rating and ranking for Steve and CDB Team. Thank you Steve, Tony, and rest of CDB Team.

Best of the Best Stephen B designs “with” me and has on many projects and his crew led by Tony F so efficient & clean job site- nicest people ever!! P.S. I love my driveway so much.

Would hire them again for sure. We have hired a lot of contractors/progessilnals over the years for our home. CDB were one of the best. First, they came up with the design and it turned out more beautiful than we thought. As important, they met their schedule and budget and were excellent at communicating with us. We never had to wonder what was happening, if they were showing up, what the permit status was,....We felt they truly cared how we were doing throughout the process. They showed up with full crews and worked long, hard days and got done when they said they would. And while we understand construction, they always answered our questions primly and clearly.

Look no further than Creative Build and Design. They will get the job done leaps and bounds beyond the rest. Stephan and his crew are amazing to work with from start to finish. They helped me realize the vision I that had for my backyard better than I ever imagined. The attention to detail and quality of work sets them far apart from the rest. I got 5 quotes in total that were all vastly different and I couldn’t be happier with the end result. I am so grateful that I choose Creative Design and Build. I recommend them 200% and a big thank you to Stephan and the crew for the excellent work and a job well done.
