Belle Design Build, LLC

I cannot say enough about our experience with Emily! In the beginning we were quite overwhelmed with the process and idea of remodeling the lower half of our home, not knowing where or how to start, but when Emily arrived, she eased all of our nerves and held our hands throughout the entire process. From the very moment she stepped into our space we knew we had the right person for the job. Emily is extremely knowledgeable, experienced, and educated, but more than that she is considerate, patient, and communicative. From beginning to end she took the time to get to know us, our likes/dislikes, our style, our “big picture,” and our budget. She walked us through not only the design element, but helped us select flooring, cabinets, countertops, and more! She ultimately created a design that far exceeded our expectations! I feel like I am living in a Pinterest photo! Classic yet modern, contemporary yet timeless. If you are looking for a designer or architect to help you create your “dream space” look no further than Emily Bell!

This is a review of the help that we received from Emily Wold of Belle Design Build for our excellent kitchen remodel and floor refinishing project. We separated this project into several phases including kitchen cabinet and countertop design, kitchen electrical upgrade, appliance upgrade, oak floor refinishing, and cabinet / countertop installation. We managed some of the project ourselves and asked Emily to manage the rest – all of this during our Summer of Pandemic shortages. Emily gave us great design suggestions for the cabinets and countertop. She was forthright and detailed about cost trades and billing. She was always available on the phone or in person for every twist and turn and was very pleasant to work with. Over the course of the project, Emily quietly took over and did an exemplary job. For instance, when we couldn’t find an available electrical contractor on short notice to prepare for the new stove installation, she had someone on site the next day. After cabinet demolition, it was clear that we needed some drywall patching before we could paint – something that we had not anticipated. Emily arranged for a drywall specialist to show up the next morning for a couple of hours to do what would have taken us a week. Cabinet and countertop installation and finish work were of top quality. Bottom line, we now have a beautiful new, fully functional kitchen! We can recommend Emily to you without reservation.

We asked Emily to design and put together a set of building plans for our coastal cabin. Meeting with her we brought a bunch of pictures and ideas, she happily listened to us and took our input. When we met for a consultation later we were blown away with the perfect design she had created. Thank you Emily! Tracy

Emily Wold with Belle Design Build remodeled my kitchen in 2020. She is a talented architect and designer who took my goals and ideas and brought them to reality. She communicated timelines and progress throughout the project, and was easily reachable by text, phone or email. The trades people she works with were highly skilled and professional. I am thrilled with my new kitchen!

Emily is knowledgeable and professional. She has a great range of experience to draw from. She can manage a project efficiently from start to finish. Her straight forward, family friendly, approach is refreshing. You won't regret calling her.

Emily and her team of contractors were a major part of our home remodeling project. They performed demolition work and a baseboard / trim replacement project. Everyone we worked with was an expert in their field, professional and easy to work with. We especially admired Emily's persistence with the manufacturer of our replacement baseboard product. She worked tirelessly with the company to ensure the product met specifications, which took multiple attempts on behalf of the manufacturer. Emily was persistent and ensured our project was done right. We would work with Emily and her team again & again!

I didn't realize the value of using a designer in the first step of a remodeling project until I retained Emily's design services. I had only a general idea of converting a large family room into a bedroom and bathroom that would accommodate my future "aging-in-place." Emily, with her architectural and design training, competently measured and analyzed the space and converted my vague ideas into five professionally-drawn to-scale drawings of possible room configurations. She asked all the right questions regarding function, budget, and feasibility in a professional and pragmatic way. I am delighted that I can now imagine myself in each of the plans she drew prior to actually beginning my remodeling project. I think that by using Emily's expertise I have prevented potential mistakes that may have occurred had I begun my project with a building contractor. I highly recommend Emily to anyone contemplating a building or remodeling project.

Belle Design did a great job helping us with our bathroom remodel. The project went very smoothly thanks to Emily. Emily was professional, had lots of great suggestions, coordinated contractors, set expectations accordingly and communicated beautifully throughout the entire project. I would without question use Belle Design on our next home project. Thank you Emily!
