With a plethora of home remodeling companies operating in St. Louis and its surrounding areas, navigating the landscape to find the ideal partner for your next home improvement project can be daunting. Homeowners seeking a reliable general contractor who can not just meet — but exceed — expectations in specific remodeling services may find themselves overwhelmed by the choices available. However, outstanding remodeling companies possess distinct qualities that distinguish them from the competition.

For those contemplating a home renovation or remodeling endeavor aimed at enhancing their home’s value, functionality, and overall enjoyment, it’s crucial to utilize these key criteria when assessing potential home remodeling contractors. By doing so, you can ensure exceptional results and a hassle-free experience throughout your home remodeling journey.

1. Solid Reputation and History

The foundation of any exceptional remodeling company is a great reputation based on years of good business practices and end results. Look for firms with a proven track record of successful projects that match your needs (kitchen remodeling, bathroom renovations, basement remodeling, etc.). A solid reputation is built on reliability, transparency, and high-quality craftsmanship. Companies with years of applied experience in the remodeling business have proven they can handle various projects with consistent excellence.

For over 40 years, Liston Design Build has offered specialized, top-notch expertise to help clients turn their homes into fabulous, functional spaces. Additionally, we guarantee our work with a 2-year warranty which means you can count on quality results you’ll enjoy for years to come.

2. In-house Expertise

By offering an expansive suite of services, a professional remodeling company ensures a cohesive and efficient process — not to mention a better overall result with the additional level of control and ownership.

3. Proactive and Forward-focused

The best remodeling companies understand the importance of staying ahead of industry trends and advancements. They invest in ongoing education and training for their staff and actively participate in industry events and workshops. This commitment to continuous learning enables them to incorporate the latest technologies, materials, and design concepts into their projects.

By staying current, Liston Design Build can offer innovative solutions and upgrades that enhance the functionality, aesthetics, and sustainability of your home. We ensure that our team is educated on the latest offerings in everything from energy efficiency to innovative materials for countertops, and our process always ensures you understand your options while we offer up original ideas and avenues to pursue when it comes to your project

4. Industry Recognition

Recognition within the industry is a testament to the quality of workmanship and service offered by any remodeling company. Exceptional companies often receive awards and accolades from reputable organizations that validate their expertise and inspire confidence in potential clients. When researching a renovation company, take note of any industry awards or certifications they have received — it’s a strong indicator of their commitment to excellence.

Liston Design Build has received the Best of Houzz recognition for over 10 years, including the coveted “Best of Service” award given to only 3% of all Houzz designers. We have also been honored with over 30 awards from the Home Builders Association of St. Louis and Eastern Missouri (HBA) Awards Program along with a number of coveted local and national awards over the years.

5. Satisfied Clients and Positive Referrals

Perhaps the most telling trait of an exceptional remodeling company is the satisfaction of its clients. Checking reviews and testimonials from past clients can provide valuable insights into a company’s client experience. A company that consistently receives glowing feedback from its clients demonstrates a commitment to customer service and project excellence. When you come across a remodeling company with a long list of satisfied clients, you can feel confident that they will deliver the same exceptional results for your project. Happy clients are eager to share their positive experiences with their home remodel or kitchen & bath renovations through testimonials, online reviews, and referrals.
