It means the people who design your project are the same people who build it. Most remodels involve a designer who hands drawings to a contractor who has never seen the house, and the gap between those two is where budgets and schedules go wrong. We blend creative design services and professional builders into one integrated team for the life of the project, so there is nobody to hand the problem to.

Since August 1994. Quality Design & Construction, formerly Quality Home Improvements by David J. Mackowski, has been a full service design and build contractor in the Triangle for over thirty years, working under General Contractor licence number 55240.

Our main office is on Junction Boulevard in Raleigh and we cover the Triangle from there, including Cary, Apex, Morrisville, Holly Springs, Fuquay-Varina, Garner, Clayton, Knightdale, Wendell and Wake Forest. We also serve the Lake Gaston area, including Littleton, Henrico, Macon, Warrenton, Wise, and Halifax, Warren and Northampton counties.

You call the office and we take the basic details of what you are considering. Then we come out to survey the property and evaluate the house, which usually takes one to two hours. That visit is where we find out whether what you want is possible, what it is likely to involve, and whether we are the right people to build it.

Yes. After the initial survey we prepare a design contract that gives you a sketch of the project with dimensions and a description of the updates, and a retainer applies at that stage. Paying for design is what lets us produce drawings detailed enough to price and build from, rather than a sales sketch. The construction contract comes later, once the concept and the preliminary estimate are settled.

This is a large part of what we do. Both owners hold the Certified Aging-In-Place Specialist designation from the National Association of Home Builders. We install curbless shower stalls with transfer seats, grab bars with proper blocking behind them, anti-slip flooring, wheelchair-accessible layouts and motorised stair lifts, and we fit them so the house still looks like a home.

Our own people. We personally hire and train our full-time remodeling staff and keep the team updated on current building codes and OSHA safety standards. Holding a full-time staff of construction professionals, including construction designers, gives us far more control over timeliness, precision and accuracy than assembling a different crew for every job.

We back our work with a satisfaction guarantee. We will not stop working until you like what we have done.
