Marvista Design + Build

Marvista Design and Build just completed a large renovation in my home - an elevator installation and a kitchen renovation. Although I am an experienced renovator, I had not previously worked with a design/build firm so wasn't sure what to expect. I handed over my keys and left town for 3 months, which seemed very risky to me. Much to my astonishment, the project went incredibly smoothly and was completed on time and on budget - to the penny! Any issues that arose were handled by the amazing designer and project manager. The project manager is an awesome communicator, and I received an email with photos almost every day. The finished project has exceeded my expectations - such fabulous workmanship! The design was executed flawlessly. It is quite obvious that a professional designer was behind every decision. In short, if you are meticulous and detail-oriented, you will be delighted to work with Marvista. Hats off to this fabulous company!

I hired Marvista to do pretty extensive renovations on our living room and kitchen. They installed built-in bookcases in the living room and added recessed lighting. The kitchen was gutted and completely renovated (recessed lighting was installed as well). The work they did exceeded expectations: 1) They brought in a designer who helped us lay out exactly what we wanted. 2) The quality of the materials (wood bookcases and kitchen cabinets) is top-notch. We got what we paid for. 3) The craftsman who installed the wood bookcases and kitchen cabinets is a true artist. He completed the work a year ago, and to this day we have never found a single mistake in workmanship. Pretty remarkable. 4) The electrician did a phenomenal job of installing recessed lighting. Again, no glitches or mistakes. 5) When they accidentally installed a sink that was too small, they replaced it with the correct size, no questions asked. This impressed me. Every home remodel will have mistakes. A good contractor has integrity and fixes those mistakes. Marvista proved that they were trustworthy and had integrity. 6) The price for the remodel was very fair. It wasn't cheap, but top-notch work is never cheap. They told us exactly how much it would cost at the beginning and they kept to it. 7) The work was completed within a reasonable time frame. They worked on the project everyday and didn't leave us hanging. Excellent work!!!!!

After meeting with several kitchen design and remodeling companies in the Pittsburgh area, we chose Marvista largely due to Emily's awesome design. Our project was a complete renovation of an awkward, small and very closed-off kitchen of our 1920's home. Emily maximized the use of our space and encouraged us to remove a portion of a wall which has completely changed the look and feel of our kitchen and first floor. She understood our blend of traditional and transitional style and was very easy to work with. Marvista's entire team was exceptional from start to finish. Our project manager, carpenter and crew did an amazing job and were very detailed and thorough. Communication was excellent and it was clear that our satisfaction was important. Our two-year-old son and dogs thought the guys were part of our family and missed everyone once the project was completed! We would highly recommend Marvista to family and friends ( and we already have!)

I have been photographing Marvista’s projects throughout the year. Their attention to detail, design and client needs is exceptional. During my time on site I get to talk to the clients about the projects and I have heard only positive feedback regarding Marvista’s work. All of the clients are very satisfied upon job completion. The team at Marvista is professional, knowledgeable and reliable. If anyone needs a kitchen designer they should definitely consider Marvista Kitchen & Bath.

We are very pleased with our experience with Marvista Kitchen and Bath and highly recommend the company to others. The professional designers, skilled craftspeople and the project manager were all knowledgeable and a pleasure to work with. The project was started on time and completed very close to the promised deadline. The workmanship was superb and the company's practice of interacting closely with us as clients was most satisfactory. I would most definitely use them again for future projects.

They built us a most beautiful custom-made kitchen. The company was very reliable and the staff were very helpful throughout.

Emily has a great personality and is very Talented in her visual interpretation of the spaces she specifies. I believe I am very lucky to be able to work with her, here in Pittsburgh and The work of Marvista speaks for itself in the projects they have uploaded. I am currently putting together plans for a kitchen and five bathrooms and will be buying cabinets from her, as she is very easy to work with and I don't have to worry about not having parts. Many thanks for your help so far!

Asked Marvista to help reconfigure a difficult kitchen. Their plan was to simply replace the cabinets with new, there was no change, at all, in the inefficient layout. The reason we had them come to give an estimate was to leverage their design skills. We did not see it.

Kitchen+ Renovation Scope - Completely gutted and doubled the size of our kitchen, replaced bay window with bay door, opened front staircase, added new lighting and hardwood flooring throughout 1st floor. Overview - In short, our livelihood has improved dramatically as a result of our upgraded home. Marvista does a masterful job of leveraging talented individuals from many trades and training to form a wonderful team that is committed to make the customer happy. Team - After her initial visit to our home, it was clear that our designer, Emily, was a great listener and a true professional. She captured everything in her plans that we were hoping to gain with our new "kitchen". She kept the charm while completely modernizing all areas of the new space and suggested varying materials, colors, and cabinet solutions which we would never have considered. It was a joy to see her inspiration come to life. Just like everyone else that we met from Marvista, our lead craftsman, Mike, was only interested in us being entirely satisfied with the job. Every decision was anchored with, "The only thing that matters is that you guys are happy with this...". He, like Emily, was also a great listener. We never once got the feeling that our many questions were upsetting him or keeping him from completing a task. He's also a true artist. There are many finishing touches throughout our house where Mike went the extra mile to ensure that everything looked and functioned the way it should. He truly put his pride into our house. He also cleaned up his work area every single day! Between Mike and the Project Manager, Paul, the communication was fantastic. We always knew which individuals would be at our house and when. They did a great job on juggling the HVAC, drywall, painting, and electrical contractors throughout the project. Each of those individuals were excellent to work with as well. Paul was always in touch with us making sure that we were happy and that any open items were properly resolved. Summary - One of the things that sold us on Marvista was their commitment to being ON the job until it was finished. This promise was kept to the letter. No one likes the inconvenience of not having a kitchen, but they kept the discomfort to an absolute minimum. In the end, we love our new place. Our kids talk about it every day. The quality is exceptional, and their attitude and professionalism was so very much appreciated. The job was completed on time and within budget. We would recommend Marvista K & B to anyone.

I hired Marvista to replace a bedroom ceiling, to build a new bathroom shower, and to support a section of the house, which was sagging. All of the work was performed in a professional manner, to my liking, and at the agreed upon price. I recommend the company without hesitation.

The design and construction was excellent. The team was easy to work with, and very helpful with ideas and decision support. We continue to get rave reviews when guests see the completed kitchen.

Could not have asked for a smoother process and could not be happier with the end results. Marvista’s remodel of our entire first floor included new wood flooring and a complete gut and remodel of our kitchen. They work with you from design idea through actualization with so much knowledge, experience and patience and so much attention to detail. They didn’t leave until we were happy with every part of the project. I would HIGHLY recommend to anyone wishing to make their design dreams come true!
