My experience with Henderer Design and Build was great. The amount of time spent planning my bathroom remodel all lead to a very stressless and successful experience. Would highly recommend and would use again.
Reason for no 5-star is there was some attention to detail that was missed. I would have liked to have seen the project manager and designer out on sight a bit more to be sure all expectation between designer, builder, and customer were on the same page.
Helpful, professional and enjoyable to work with! They go the extra mile!
They stayed on schedule. The workers were all friendly, on time and cleaned up after themselves. Questions and concerns were promptly addressed.
Our house was designed and built on a forested hill outside Corvallis, OR while we lived in Houston, TX the entire time. This massive project was totally handled by Henderer Design & Build (HD&B). It started when Dave Henderer met as on the property to determine if and where we could build what we wanted. With Dave’s assessment, we completed the land purchase and commissioned HD&B to design and build our house.
Henderer’s creative and professional design team worked closely with us via email and a software screen-sharing program to design the house. We provided lists of what we wanted in the house and they had us start a Houzz ideabook illustrating features and finishes from other houses that we like. They provided suggestions and choices on finishes and light fixtures, and we occasionally provided counter proposals. Final choices were recorded in Trello by the design team so there was no doubt about what was to be built. Because of the Covid-19 crisis, we were only able to visit twice to help decide on finishes. HD&B also provided detailed, color images of what various rooms would look like. As a consequence, just about everything turned out as good or even better than we imagined.
Besides building the house, HD&B arranged for our property to be logged and the house site to be excavated, with the loggers doing part of the excavation. They also installed the septic system, hooked up our water well, and provided all the water-processing equipment. In addition, they arranged for our driveway to be paved, and for the fence and window treatments to be installed. They also recommended a landscaper; ideally landscaping should have started earlier, but it worked out for the best because it helped immensely for us to see the property when working with the landscaper.
After we moved in, HD&B was very good about fixing the inevitable problems that we encountered, and promise to come back after a year to remediate effects of shifting that a new house undergoes.
We totally love the design and quality of our house. We are very glad we chose Henderer for the project!

Areas Of Satisfaction - We love our new kitchen and the addition of bathroom and office. It is a substantial improvement to our home.We were completely satisfied with the carpentry and overall workmanship of Brent and Tom and Ted, who all combined obvious skill with courtesy, friendliness, and good senses of humor. We are grateful to each of them for their work.In addition, Gary did an excellent job of adapting to our substantial change in plans, and the final change (addition to half of garage, with bathroom and office) turned out very well. One minor point that might be considered for similar projects in future is swing direction of shower door, which we now would prefer had been installed to open in a different direction. But that's minor.I also want to thank Lainey for her courteous and timely contacts with regard to billing and payment, and for passing along various messages along the way. Lainey is very good at what she does.
Lead Source - Primarily from Seymour and Paula House, for whom you did major home refurbish in late 90s.

Areas Of Satisfaction - responsiveness and the quality of the sub contractors and the whole team
Lead Source - Met them years ago and had them build the first project, now this one.
Additional Comments - I wish we had more projects to partner on in the future!
Areas For Improvement - As I have come to live with the results of the project, there are a few things I think could have been done better. For example, the bathroom paint job is not holding up well, and the paint on the kitchen shelving never seemed to have dried correctly. I don't think the linoleum was installed as well as it could have been (bubbles had to be cut, leaving scars), and the product is difficult to clean. The cabinet maker worked in haste, made a few mistakes (all corrected) and chipped some kitchen corners bringing in the table. I don't think these are problems of Henderer per se, but of a few of the subcontractors. Overall, I think Henderer is an excellent company, the project is a joy to live with every day, and I would recommend them with all my heart to my friends. I will certainly call Henderer for my next remodeling project.
Areas Of Satisfaction - They were so good, I don't know where to start! Probably the best thing about them was their communication. Right from the start, I had a clear idea of time and cost. Dan was absolutely responsive and responsible: I had access to his number at all times and he NEVER failed to respond to a call. Ever. Every one of the workmen was competent, they all liked one another, there was no criticism of their colleagues or the company. They were extremely careful to seal off the work area and to protect those parts of the house where they weren't working. They took care of any problems immediately.
Lead Source - From a friend who had work done by them. I had the chance to visit them at a work site and see what they were doing.
Areas Of Satisfaction - This was our 3rd project with Henderer Design Build. Very impressive work from the design to completion. Each project has been an even greater improvement to our home than we envisioned, thanks to their skills in all phases of the projects.
Lead Source - Our neighbors recommended them.
Areas Of Satisfaction - quality of work, respect for our space. Keeping to timeline and communicating progress with us
Lead Source - Website and talking with previous client

Lead Source - Thru Vicki Biornstad

All the subcontractors showed up on schedule and did quality work. We are delighted with our new kitchen and could not be more pleased.
Lead Source - We have several friends who did projects with them. They had only good things to say.
