I would highly recommend Designs for Living. David Goodroe is extremely professional and knowledgeable in all aspects of building. His projects are executed with attention to detail and done on budget and in a timely manner.

Designs for Living and David Goodroe planned and completed a major renovation for our condo: replacement of floors, bathroom fixtures, new kitchen, replacement of electrical outlets and door hardware, lowering the hallway ceiling, re-texturing all walls and painting of all walls and cabinets. Working with him, the work estimates were refined to fit within our budget. The work was completed on time and within budget with all city permits and inspections arranged for. The most striking thing is that David stood behind the remediation of a couple of small issues with fixtures installed by his suppliers that arose within the first year.

David from Designs For Living and his team of experienced hard working contractors come highly recommended. They are detail oriented, time conscious and really great at what they do for making your renovation everything you had ever hoped for. As a new homeowner and speaking with a couple contractors in the initial stages of planning on who would oversee and complete our job, I am so thankful for Designs For Living. Everyone else who saw what work our home needed said it would be 10 - 12 weeks and David did it all in literally less than 2 weeks. Hands down amazing and highly recommended.

I advise everyone to stay away from this contractor. We hired David Oberle DBA Designs for Living to remodel our master bathroom for around $100,000. His contract is designed to leave you with no rights. He does not supervise the job. He has to constantly be reminded of your plan. He switches out your selections for cheaper products. He cannot be trusted to tell the truth. He did not pay the tile subcontractor, so we had to pay them a second time or have a lien on our house. We hope to save you from the nightmare we lived through.

Designs For Living did a fantastic job with improving our kitchen and laundry/work room. They exhibited a fine touch combined with professional attention to detail in their finished product. I recommend them for our clients and friends with confidence and assurance they will be pleased with David and his team. We appreciated their honesty, cleanliness and quality workmanship, all within budget and on-time completion. Designs For Living is a 5 Star company.

My name is Ken Albee. I was a contractor for 20 years before coming to Teague in 1999. During my tenure here at Teague I had the privilege of working with David Goodroe on numerous projects around the DFW area. I had the privilege of being able to go to his projects to do take off for materials that they needed to complete their projects. They always were very knowledgeable of what they need and the quality of their work was second to none. I would recommend them for any project you have currently or in the future.

David Goodroe and his team are professionals all the way. They demonstrated commitment to the job and to customer satisfaction. They stayed on budget, and worked within the given time frame. We used them a few years ago to remodel the kitchen at our ranch, and a few months ago to remodel the bath and master closet at our home. All in all, I would definitely recommend Designs for Living for any remodeling project.
