Stilwell Design & Remodeling

Stilwell Design & Remodeling took on quite the job at my home. We had very intricate rooflines and several levels of interior walls which made adding on to my home a challenge for some designers/builders, but not Stilwell Design & Remodeling. We fell upon Joe Stilwell and the rest is history. Joe and I sat down and we walked through every aspect of designing an addition that would ensure the charm of our existing older home inside and out. We added about a 500 sq. ft. addition to house our new dream kitchen and family lounge area, which took a lot of thought in the design of the interior structure as well as outside. And a dream it is! The addition looks like it was always part of our home...inside and out. Stilwell also reps Great Northern Cabinetry and it made it so easy to pick beautiful quality cabinetry without leaving my home. In addition, in the middle of the project, we decided to change out all existing windows and doors as they were the original ones. Joe took care of getting us the custom windows and doors that we were in search of to maintain the integrity of our home. Joe's skills for design and his ability to listen to the client's needs and wants are a step above the others. Stilwell easily adapts to changes as they are thrown at him. Stilwell is very competitive in pricing, sticks to the timeline set forth, and in the end, our budget was met. I have recommended and referred Joe Stilwell to anyone I know who is in search of design and/or remodeling. Joe's your guy!

Joe did a master suite expansion and remodel of our master bedroom last year. We had a couple of different estimates over a 3 year period but were not fully happy with the plan designs until we met Joe. His plans, including 3D renderings allowed us to get exactly what we were looking for in the project. It includes a master walk in closet, large beautiful bathroon with granite marble and a large glass walk in shower. The bedroomhad vaulted a ceiling and included skylights and a fireplace. The addition had made out home much more usable and enjoyable. It also blends so well with the home design people can tell it's want always there, both outside and inside. He was always responsive to questions and modifications along the way. We would definitely use Joe again.

We hired Joe and his team to take over our huge remodeling project in the Geist area in Indianapolis that was not going well due to the existing company's inability to execute. After a thorough and honest assessment of our situation, Joe provided us a clear path on how we would have a successful project with quality results. Joe' and team took over our project (that was a mess, about 8% done, over budget, and with leadership that didn't have a clue) and got on track quickly. Our remodel was huge; complete remodel of kitchen, 2 bathrooms, adding a 2nd story sunroom, new room addition to walkout basement, wood flooring throughout majority of home, and new deck design. Joe was available night and day to answer questions, provide design options, and redirect if we had new ideas. The project took several months and Joe and his team was respectful, helpful, and considerate of our home and the incredible disruption this huge project was to our family and the day-to-day inconveniences. The quality of Joe Stilwell's work was exceptional. Corners were never cut and we trusted him immensely. While I got a bit freaked out on more than one occasion due to the stress of a huge remodel project on our daily lives, Joe was always calm and continued to reassure us how much we would love the end result. I have recommended Joe Stilwell to others and wouldn't hesitate to work with him on any future project.

Stilwell did a complete remodel of our 1949 kitchen. Walls were removed, ceilings were vaulted and a new kitchen lay out was achieved. It allow us to maximize our space, provide more light and improve our homes value. Joe is responsive and honest. I would recommend to anyone.

Joe and his team did a terrific job installing a new bathroom, which included tile work, installation of new vanities, tub, and toilet, and some electrical. I was impressed by his team's cleanliness and consideration in working and passing through other parts of the home to get to the bathroom being worked on. As project manager, Joe was also very easy to work with and excellent at keeping me apprised of new information and details about the job.

Major restoration/addition/rehab project on 1876 brick itallianate house was completed in a timely fashion. Joe Stillwell designed the addition to flow with historical accuracy of the original architectural style of the structure.

Complete kitchen remodel back to studs with wall removal and also conversion of screened porch to all weather sunroom. The kitchen remodel involved removal of a wall between kitchen and breakfast room, new plumbing, wiring, cabinets, drywall, flooring and appliances. Also a small half bath adjacent to kitchen was remodeled with new tile, flooring, etc. The sunroom used the existing screened porch footprint and included new windows, drywall, flooring, HVAC work and roof. Custom woodwork was created for both projects that matched the existing 1936 woodwork of the house.

We hired JS Architectural Design & Remodeling to redesign our kitchen and contruct a new family room addition on the back of our 1927 English Manor style home in Indianapolis. Joe and his team are extremely talented and easy to work with. They were professional, hard-working and respected our time, budget and privacy throughout the entire project. We are very happy with our updated kitchen and spacious new living space. Our friends and neighbors are impressed at how seemless the addition looks...like it has always been there! We highly recommend JS Architectural Design & Remodeling to everyone we know.
