Aptitude Design and Build just finished a 3rd project in our home! Since 2020 they have been welcomed into our home to build us the kitchen/laundry room of my dreams, the kid’s bathroom and just they finished a luxury primary bathroom/walk in closet. The team at Aptitude really wants to give you the remodel you want. They are very responsive to problems and solutions when hiccups/unexpected surprises come up. I highly recommend you give them the opportunity on your next project.

Aptitude Design & Build did a fantastic job on our kitchen renovation! They helped us achieve our vision and maintained excellent communication throughout. Right from the bidding process, they had ideas for optimizing our layout that other companies hadn’t thought of. The designer they assigned us listened to what aesthetic we were looking for and helped us choose cabinets and finishes that were within our budget. Aptitude had, by far, the best communication of any contractors we’ve worked with. Overall, we love our kitchen and are grateful for the work Aptitude did! We wouldn’t hesitate to use them again on another project.

I would definitely recommend Aptitude Design and Build for your remodel project. Communication is very important to Aptitude. Our project was a major kitchen remodel besides new paint, flooring and upgrades in electrical all through out our 40 year old house. The workers in our house were very respectful of our family and belongings. I cannot say enough about how happy we are with our old house with a new facelift!

Aptitude Design & Build completed our kitchen remodel, plumbing update and flooring install. They completely transformed our 1972 ranch from an old relic to a beautiful, modern showpiece. Their craftsmanship was impressive in all areas. Their planning, execution, communication and timing were 10/10 in our book. Every worker brought into our home was reliable, skilled, personable and trustworthy. Would we use Aptitude Design & Build again? YES!!! Do we recommend them to others? YES!!! Are we happy with our project? YES!!! 100%!

Aptitude Design & Build had recently completed a kitchen remodel for us and we couldn't be happier with the results. It's rare you find a company that truly stands by what they do. I'm truly impressed with their attention to detail and customer care. Everything the team did was done exceedingly well. I couldn't recommend them more highly. I look forward to working with the Aptitude team on our next project!

Aptitude recently remodeled our kitchen and did a fantastic job. The quality of their work was second to none. They arrived on time every day, cleaned up prior to leaving every afternoon and ensured that any questions or concerns were addressed. The entire project took every step necessary to ensure our satisfaction. We have gotten so many compliments on our new kitchen and how great it looks. It has become the center of our home, the place where we entertain and gather on a daily basis. My wife and I recommend Aptitude for your kitchen and home remodel projects.

Aptitude's work exceeded my expectations. The craftsmanship is excellent and they fully executed my vision. They creatively solved the problem of adding plumbing in a cost effective and efficient manner. Their employees and subcontractors did excellent work and I never had any fears of the quality of work performed. I can say that I trust Aptitude enough that we have entered into an agreement for them to do additional work in my kitchen.

We are very pleased with the results of our remodel. The project included three bathrooms, home office, bar area, tv/golf putting green area and miscellaneous trim and flooring upgrades. As an architect and two people who work from home, we had very specific things we wanted to improve in our home and it was all executed as anticipated in and around our busy schedules.

My husband and I purchased a beautiful condo with a dated master bath in need of a remodel. We wanted a walk in shower and no bath tub. James made it all happen seamlessly and built an elegant walk in shower with glass enclosure. James not only created an impressively stylish master bath, he practically became a member of the family. My husband and I love our new bath and highly recommend Aptitude to anyone who wants a superior remodel done by professionals of the highest caliber.

We had an outstanding experience with Aptitude. We had our master bathroom completely remodeled. Matt Mierek was fantastic to work with and came up with some great ideas that we hadn't considered. We are extremely pleased with the outcome and are enjoying the new bathroom each and every day!

Aptitude did a beautiful job on my deck replacement! Since that initial project, Aptitude has done stunning work on opening up my kitchen to my great room, creating a beautiful mud room and completely remodeling my principal bath including a complete reconfiguration with dramatic amenities. Working with them was a pleasure! Everyone was very professional and I felt they were right there with me from the initial planning stage all the way through each project to its completion. I would gladly recommend them without reservation.

We recently had Aptitude Design and Build remodel the lower level of our home—adding two bedrooms, a full bathroom, a family room and a wet bar—and we couldn’t be happier with the results. Their communication, attention to detail, professionalism and genuine care for our project stood out every step of the way. Greg and James were awesome—their creativity and problem-solving made all the difference in turning our ideas into a beautiful, functional space. We would recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy, talented and friendly design-build team.

We recently completed a basement remodel with Aptitude and the entire experience was outstanding from start to finish. Owner Matt came out personally for the initial project scoping and he was professional, thorough and easy to work with. Our project manager, James, kept communication clear and consistent throughout—always responsive and on top of every detail. Jared, our lead contractor, did excellent work and made sure everything was completed with care and high quality. The whole team was great to work with and we’re extremely happy with the final result. We would absolutely choose Aptitude again for future projects!

Ok. Let's get real here. Aptitude Design & Build did an amazing job with our basement. Matt and his crew were incredibly professional and their work was equally amazing. Matt listened and knew exactly what I wanted. All of the staff were respectful and professional. Not one person has come to my house and not commented on the quality work that Aptitude has done. Would definitely recommend!!!

We wanted to add main floor laundry to our house and decided to do so by adding a wet bar with a small laundry closet to our living room. Aptitude's work exceeded my expectations. They did a beautiful job creating my unique vision of a custom wet bar and laundry closet. The craftsmanship is excellent and they fully executed my vision. Its a beautiful space and a joy to do laundry in.

We had a lot of items to update in our house and from the very first meeting with Aptitude, we were impressed. The communication was always there, the crew were all on time, great attention to detail, cleaning up the job site at the end of the day. The most important aspect to me is the communication to know they are aware of what's going on and actively creating a plan to keep the job moving and that's exactly what they did. We will absolutely use them again in the future as well as refer to anyone looking for work.

If you want quality work and great communication throughout the project, Aptitude Design & Build is the way to go. I love the way my house looks after they added a bedroom and did a few other miscellaneous projects that were too much for me to DIY. All the employees were awesome and very respectful. Their pricing is also fair. 10/10 recommend Aptitude Design & Build.
