John Audet - Case Design/Remodeling Inc.

We greatly enjoyed working with John Audet and the Case Design team on our home renovation. John was supportive, flexible, and patient throughout the planning process. He allowed us to proceed at our own pace during the planning and design phase. He listened to our concerns and preferences and factored them in to the design, without pushing us to accept anything we didn't want. John was able to solve numerous design and cost challenges, giving us remarkably functional and beautiful new spaces in our home. We are deeply grateful to John for his kindness and his guidance and would love to work with John again. Overall, we are thrilled with our home renovation and we are extremely happy that we selected Case Design.

My husband and I cannot speak more highly of our experience with John Audet and the Case Design team. We purchased a 1926 bungalow in Chevy Chase that was in serious need of work - plumbing, HVAC, layout, windows, walls, structure, you name it, it needed it. In our struggle to bring our vision to light, we found John and Case Design. With John’s help, Case Design was able to help us truly find our vision and bring it to light. Through our work with John and the Case team, we now have our dream home.

John recently planned and oversaw a few projects with us: a gorgeous back screened porch addition and front of the house curb appeal upgrades. John brought a design expertise that offered creative solutions as well as great asthetics. He was responsive to all questions and worked with us on any changes we wanted. We felt at complete ease knowing that John understood our vision and he made sure everyone on the team did as well. I would most certainly work with John on any future home projects.

John Audet and his Case Design team have done outstanding work in our apartment in Washington DC over the past two years. We strongly recommend him. It is rare that you can get all three -- very high quality product, reasonable and accurate pricing, and a job delivered on time -- and John and his team were able to deliver on all of these. We live in an older historic building and renovating our bathroom was a challenge. We wanted to keep the existing flooring and remodel all of the rest. We worked with the Case team to design a custom detailed vanity enclosure with a Caesarstone wrap and a custom tile layout and niche in the shower/ bath enclosure area. I am an architect and appreciate all of the design refinement that John was able to provide throughout the process. Construction was very orderly and each detail was carefully executed. Small changes were easily accommodated where they could reasonably be done. It was also a pleasure to work with John and his team. They are organized and professional and made the process thoroughly enjoyable. We love the end result and cannot, now, image our home without it. This past summer we asked John to do some renovation work in our kitchen. We wanted to leave most of the cabinetry intact and seamlessly add additional counter space and an eat-in area. They had a simple and straightforward plan for how to do the work. It was done easily within the time frame promised and the end result was more beautiful (and functional) than we had imagined. For homeowners who truly want beautiful work kept within their budget requirements John Audet and Case deliver.

John was the first step in a bath remodel experience that was a very happy one! He visited, spent a lot of time discussing what I wanted, & actually listened to what I had to say. Based on that, he made recommendations for the project that reflected my goals, informed by his impressive technical & practical knowledge, and actually made fun by his design ideas. He made suggestions about elements that would not have occurred to me and warned me off ideas that, for practical reasons, just wouldn't work. As a result of John's efforts, the end product turned out even better than I had hoped! Couldn't be happier...

John Audet at Case has provided stellar support to me for over 10 years. When I have a project in mind, I just call John and he helps me think through it and come up with an awesome plan. The results are always excellent. We have worked together to redo my kitchen, carpet my basement and size and install new doors on my house in chevy chase DC. Most recently with his help Case installed Bistro lights in my back yard on short notice for my birthday. It looks awesome!!!

John is exactly the guy you want if you are taking the plunge and taking on a big home addition project. The decision to tear up your existing home and double its size is nerve-wracking and intense, but John was there with us the entire time and helped us navigate the process from blueprint designs to hardware selections to cabinets to you name it. He listened to what we wanted, gave good recommendations, and made our dream a reality. What's more, he kept us within our budget and prevented any surprises during the design and construction phases. On a personal level, John was easy to work with, personable, and prioritized my family's best interests. In short, we really liked John and if we ever have another project down the road, we will not hesitate to contact him.

Superb! He is professional in all the right ways -- knowledgeable, polite, prompt and friendly. He listens well to the description of the work to be done and offers suggestions that fit in with your vision and additional ideas which improve it. He is available for follow-up and takes a real interest in the successful completion of the works. He serves both you and Case well.

This is our third home renovation with Case Design and John Audet. We are extremely pleased with the results of all three jobs and we do not hesitate to recommend Case Design and John Audet. Our first job was a complete kitchen renovation that included removal of walls, redesign of the kitchen layout and new wood floors throughout the main level of the house. John and his team of designers talked with us at length about what we wanted then came back with plans for three different options. We took the parts of each option that we liked and the designer created exactly what we wanted. Case's team of craftsmen were skilled and very reliable. They arrived on time every day, never came unexpectedly, and always gave us plenty of notice if they couldn't make it. Our design included several unique aspects and John made sure he had the right craftsman to get things done correctly. The second job was replacement windows throughout the house. John did not hire a sub-contractor for the job, he had one of Case's highly-skilled carpenters do the job. The third job, which was completed recently, was a bathroom renovation. John and his team did a fabulous job. John helped us create an entirely different layout and replace a standard shower stall with a much larger tile shower which is so nice, our children won't use the shower in their bathroom anymore. Needless to say, John Audet is our "go to" guy for home renovation.

John was our first point of contact with CASE based on a referral from a colleague. We were interested in exploring remodel ideas to completely redo the ground floor and possibly add a second floor with a pop-up. John, and his colleague Kwasi, were a pleasure to work with in listening to our objectives, likes and dislikes, and trying to come up with a reasonable plan that would meet our budgetary and design goals. We unfortunately could not make a pop-up expansion viable, but John was very good at refocusing the scope to achieve nearly similar goals in the available space. John is really great with customer service and very easy to work with. He has always gone the extra mile to make sure we are satisfied with our project and CASE's service. We had high expectations for CASE given the price point in the market in which they have placed themselves, but I must say, we have not been disappointed and feel like our investment well-justified. I have had several friends who have gone with separate design and construction companies, and although the quoted cost may have been left, the headache of coordination and cost-overruns made them come in at cost well above their original expected costs.

I hired CASE to redesign my master bathroom and they did an outstanding job! They listened to me and put all of my ideas into the final project. Every time i walk into my bathroom, I feel like I am at a 5 Star hotel! I was very impressed with their on-site craftsman, Mike R. who reported to work by 7am every day. I would hire John Audet and the CASE team again in a heartbeat.

John was our project designer/manager for remodeling our kitchen/mudroom and 3 season room. He was very knowledgeable, completely pleasant, and always addressed our questions and concerns quickly. He was a pleasure to work with and was always very positive and personable. He helped us completely redesign the layout of our kitchen; he had great ideas, and it was a dramatic improvement on the appearance and functionality of our old kitchen. Also, we wanted to expand the eating area in our kitchen, and he came up with three or four different ways to accomplish this, researching the architectural and structural requirements, designs, and costs of each option, and we came up with the best solution which was a large bay window bump out. We never felt pressured, and when we made changes to the plans, he was always receptive and helpful. The results of the remodeling are even better than we imagined, and we give John our highest recommendation.
