Jack made our kitchen renovation such a stress free process. He was incredibly organized, providing a detailed day by day calendar at the beginning of the project which included what would be done each day and what we needed to do/provide (additional fixtures etc). There were instances where something would come up and he would be available to text on weekends or evenings if we needed to. It was so nice knowing that he was available. We have an older home and some unexpected challenges came up, but the problems were corrected to make our home safer and the project still finished on time. All of the vendors that Jack used to work on our home were very friendly, had great options of materials to choose from, and we are so happy with the end result and would love to work with him again in the future.

My family contracted Jack and his team to put a substantial addition on our home. Jack was very prompt and communicative through the whole process. Once the design was finished, the project went nearly exactly as scheduled, with Jack being on site nearly everyday. Would definitely recommend working with Jack.

We had our old patio and deck torn out and a new covered deck and stamped concrete patio put in.
The initial design was our biggest concern, as we wanted to ensure it would aesthetically tie into the house. The design was great even with the limitations we had on size and height to tie into the existing roof structure. Overall it went very smoothly and quick, even with the labor shortages of the entire remodeling industry. Dever Design was very responsive and kept us informed throughout the project. We will definitely contact them for our next project. Highly recommended.

“We had a bathroom that was shabby, outdated, and barely functional. Now, under Jack Dever’s guidance, the bathroom and infrastructure have been brought into the 21st century. It is such a pleasure to use!
Mr. Dever managed all the details in a timely way and stayed on budget. There wasn’t a day without a phone call or text or email from him detailing the progress of the remodel. Plus, when we had a question he responded immediately. We recommend him without reservation.”
Sheila M. – Cleveland Heights Residential Client
“Jack did an excellent job with our screened in porch off of our kitchen eating area. He consistently communicated with us throughout the process, addressed any questions/concerns we had on a very timely basis and ensured the project was done with quality standards, on time and maintained the utmost professionalism. I would highly recommend him.”

“I am very pleased with the outcome of the project. I also believe the process went very smoothly. You kept me well informed and handled every issue promptly and efficiently. I am most grateful for your effort and professionalism. I also appreciate that you stuck with me over the long interval between initial contact and completion. My sincere thanks.”
Glen G. – Pepper Pike Residential Client
“When we decided to build an addition, we looked into Design-Build companies as that seemed to us the best approach. Of the 3 companies we contacted, Dever Design & Build was the one we chose and what a great choice that turned out to be. From the first meetings with Jack Dever, to the detailed meetings with their architect, to each of the construction crews, my wife and I were extremely impressed with the professionalism, attention to detail, and the willingness to work with my wife and I to implement our vision of the project. The construction crews took the time each day to clean up the job site and Jack checked their work regularly which ensured our project passed all city inspections. In our opinion, the Dever team truly deserves the title of Design & Build, and we highly recommend them to anyone looking to add on or improve their existing home.”
Jon G. – Willoughby Residential Client
“Jack is a pleasure to work with! He is professional, organized and a great communicator. He re-did our entire first floor and has now started projects upstairs. We are very pleased with the quality of work and his ability to finish jobs on schedule. I would highly recommend him!”
Amy B. – Residential Client South Euclid
“I am so happy with the fantastic appearance of my home after hiring Dever Design and Build. Before I hired, I was able to see the wonderful work the company did in remodeling my sister and her husband’s kitchen and adding a second bathroom. I was not only impressed by the work but also by the professionalism of Jack Dever. He is very hands on and helpful throughout the whole process. With my home, he was able to guide and give me advice about what would be the best choice when I was not sure. He has hired the best at their job. He was attentive to every detail and he would follow up on the work. He was a great go-to person and that just eliminated me having to deal with a plumber, electrician, painter or masons on a one-to-one basis. I appreciated that as time is very valuable. I highly recommend Dever Design and Build to anyone.”

Dan & Ellen A. – Lakewood Residential Customer
“The renovation of our century-plus home presented a multitude of unique challenges and having Jack Dever overseeing every detail and concern proved to be our first and continued best decision!”
Scott & Nancy B. – Historic Downtown Willoughby Residential Customer
“Our master bath needed some updating, but we didn’t want the expense of a major remodeling job. Dever Design & Build updated our bathroom without a major disruption of our lives, for a reasonable price and quality work. I would trust Dever Design & Build for home construction jobs, both big and small.”
Tim & Pam B. – Westlake Residential Customer
“I hired Dever Design & Build to do what I thought were some minor repairs to my pool house. I needed to replace my roof, switch the electric water heater to gas, update the furnace and repair one wall that had water damage. As we got into the project we found more and more hidden problems, every time we opened up a wall or the ceiling we found more problems. Having Dever Design & Build on the job really paid off as the new challenges unfolded. They were always quick to assess the situation, develop alternative solutions, and then consult with me on a plan of action. We ended up rebuilding the entire roof structure, tear down and rebuilding one entire wall, running new gas lines for the hot water heater and furnace. While we were at it, we added a new sliding door and window. Even with all the new changes, I felt that I was treated very fairly on price. Dever Design & Build was extremely responsive, open communication is very important to me and Jack and his staff never let me down. Everyone that worked on the project was prompt, efficient and very neat. I would definitely hire Dever Design & Build again and would recommend them to anyone.”
J C Butler – Gates Mills Residential Customer
“Vicki and I want to thank you for the excellent work you did on our house. Even though the project was a challenge and filled with unexpected and unknown problems out of your control, you were able to complete the job in the time-frame you committed and better yet, kept it under budget. We really appreciate all the extra effort and time you took to accommodate our needs and budget. We know this was not an easy task. We both wish you the best on your future projects and hope to be able to use your services again in the future. We will be sure to recommend your company to any of our friends and family in need of a trustworthy builder.”
John & Vicki T. – Kirtland Residential Client
“Jack and his team built a custom theatre inside our home. The work was done very professionally and our lives were not interrupted by all of the different teams that performed the work. In the end, we were very happy with the quality of the work. We would definitely recommend Dever Design & Build to anyone looking to do upgrades or any changes to their home.”
Stan & Irina S. – Gates Mills Residential Client
“Professionalism and attention to detail are hard skills to come by when looking for a contractor, and Jack and his team never fails to disappoint. I’ve worked with Jack on client projects, as well as in our own facility, and it is always a pleasure. In my profession, it’s crucial to work with people that are good at communication and documentation, and Jack consistently keeps me updated and tells me exactly what I need to know. He’s also a great advocate for his clients and educates people on the choices they need to make to keep a project running smoothly. I look forward to working with Jack in the future and place him high on the list of people I would recommend to my clients.”
Joe C. – Project Engineer, Audio Video Interiors
“Over the years there have only been a hand full of contractors that I would feel comfortable recommending to my clients. Dever Design & Build LLC has consistently proven themselves to be not only knowledgeable and experienced in construction, but trustworthy, reliable, and respectful of our client’s budget and schedule. I have always explained to our clients, that half the battle with construction projects is liking and trusting the experienced professionals you are going to work with. Jack certainly meets these criteria and always goes beyond the call of duty. When the construction opportunity arises, I highly recommend that you consider Dever Design & Build LLC, you won’t be disappointed.”
David D. AIA – Director of Design, URS Corporation
“I’ve known Jack for approximately 3 years and we have worked together on a variety of residential additions and alterations projects. Jack’s personable nature and attention to project details make him a wonderful construction team member. One specific attribute is his willingness to work closely with an Architect and Owner from the planning stages. This brings valuable budget review information as well as his construction experience to the table. In my opinion, Jack’s desire to ensure the Owner is satisfied in the closing period of construction is one of his strongest assets.”
Tom P. – Owner, Pervanje Architects LLC
“We have had the opportunity to be involved with several remodeling projects with Jack’s company, Dever Design & Build, as an HVAC subcontractor. Jack’s commitment to the customer is always apparent, from the attention to details to communicating with us about the importance of keeping the projects on schedule.”
Scott R. – President, Apple Heating & Cooling
“In my business endeavors, I am in a position to recommend contractors to provide services for my clients. I am extremely careful on any recommendations that involve my clients. I can say with no reservations that I would not hesitate to recommend Jack Dever to do any general contracting work you may need. Not only have I worked on joint projects with Jack, I trust Jack to build an addition to my personal residence. He and his team of contractors do first rate work. Finally, Jack is someone you can take at his word, which is rare in this business environment.”
