Truly the worst experience. He can do what appears to be good work quickly, but when we discussed that the project was taking longer than we originally planned, he got very upset and refused to finish the project, leaving us with our kitchen demolished and taking off with $3000. Furthermore, while he was working on our house a few years ago, and the piping was done incorrectly leading to a huge flood in our house. He also lifted up a bunch of asbestos in our house and didn't tell anyone - we only found out on the inspection when we moved out. Incredibly unprofessional.

I am not even sure if Chris is still in business. I have tried reaching him via phone, email, text and certified letter (both returned). I hate leaving bad reviews but be warned, if Chris does something wrong, he will disappear. He laid 300 sq of tile for us which is now all cracking and the grout is crumbling. The tile is not level and it is a mess. After taking a few months to respond the first time, Chris came to fix the poor work, but simply just put down new grout. It has now been almost a year and he will not respond to my messages to fix the problem or refund us the money so we can have somebody else fix it. This is no way to do business.

Chris did an amazing job helping us design our bathrooms and flooring as we had limited options. Its so tough to find reliable contractors and Chris has been very responsive and does very clean work. Would highly recommend to anyone who want high quality work from a great contractor.

This was our second time hiring Dettmer Designs. They demo'd and refinished/rebuilt 3 separate rooms in less than 3 weeks time. This time we had our laundry room, basement bar and guest bathroom redone. All turned out beautiful. Dettmer designs is affordable, communicative and easy to work with. Craftsmanship, most importantly, is great too. Would definitely recommend Dettmer Designs for any home improvement project!

I had Chris from Dettmer Designs come to my home to quote on a bathroom project. While unfortunately we could not schedule a time that worked with both of our schedules, Chris did a tremendous job explaining the scope of the project and helping us understand everything involved. I can't recommend him enough, if only to make sure all the contractors you are considering are thorough and honest.

This is my second time working with Chris. I can't say enough about his work and timeliness. I've always worked on a time crunch with other vendors needing to do other things in the house before moving in. As a contractor, you usually hear they are never on time. But this guy says what he does. His small personal touches on design as well as detailed stuff for my project makes him one of a kind. I've referred two people the day after he's done with my project.

Dettmer designs saved me after my last contractor abandoned my kitchen remodel! Chris was very fast to respond and extremely professional. Very good work at a reasonable price. I definitely plan on calling him again when I plan to have my bathroom remodeled next year.

Chris did an AMAZING job with our Master Bathroom. The demolition and construction was of minor inconvenience to our family and the final product was just as we imagined. Chris did a phenomenal job in recreating our bath and vanity space, the tile work and grout were masterfully installed and the drywall & patching were very well matched to the existing walls. It took less time than expected and the final product was more than we had hoped for. He was very professional and offered many options for items we didn't even consider. We greatly appreciated the options and chose to add a few items to make the bathroom even more inviting and useful. Aside from the physical construction, his communication with us prior, during and afterward for follow up was most attentive and timely. We will be contacting Chris again for more of our renovations. I would honestly recommend him to anyone looking to have work done on or in their home.

Had a bathroom remodel done in house we just moved into. Got three quotes and this one looked the best. A few little things I had to clean up/repair myself after job was done, took less than 1 hour. Other items I found issues with Chris came back promptly and fixed at his own cost. Took 2 weeks to complete the demo and remodel but it was worth it. Overall looks amazing and would use Chris again.

I'm supposedly in the grey area for service area but as soon as he heard detroit declined business. This post is not in any way complaining about the speed of response (which was great) or quality of work (I have no clue). I'm just saying that even if you're in the area that yelp says you service but you're in Detroit than this guy won't come out. Nothing was false about this review.

Chris did an amazing job! We had him install a large tile backsplash in our kitchen and a tile floor in our mudroom. He showed up exactly on time, did great work, was clean, friendly and meticulous. I would highly recommend Chris and his team for any interior work you need done in your home. Thanks again, Chris!

If you're looking for HONEST & GREAT WORK - call Chris (owner). His is OUTSTANDING. I had a leaking / damaged shower drain that he fixed in no time and was super clean too! I give him my highest recommendation! Also he's very personable and easy to talk to and work with!!!

We hired Dettmer Designs to finish a bathroom remodel for us. We were a little aprehensive to hire another contractor because our first had walked out on the project before completing the work. However, we found Chris of Dettmer Designs to be incredibly professional and his work was of the best quality. I would highly reccomend this company and we plan to use them again in the future.
