Whole Home Renovation • Ridgefield, WA
Chis Miller, Blackcat Design Build, was the general contractor on a large 6 month, full house remodel of our home. From then beginning we found Chris easy to work with as he took the time to discuss our needs and ‘wants’ to ensure the final design would result in a successful remodel. As homeowners, we were able to interact with Chris on site during all phases of construction and found him to be an ingenious craftsman! His experience in the Design Build field was evident as he helped us with the myriad of decisions that needed to be made that ultimately resulted in a beautiful living space. Chris is fair, honest and congenial. I would not hesitate to recommend him for any remodel job, large or small.
It is a great experience working with Chris Miller. He is exceptionally observant. He listened well and presented ideas and concepts to help us determine ways to modernize our small kitchen. Although we elected to postpone the project, we will not hesitate to contact Black Cat when we are ready to proceed.
Back in August we had 3 renovation contractors come to our house. Chris Miller was one. Immediately we were impressed. He had details of the house history, did his research and came prepared. He gave us the best estimate and his personality was organized and competent. The scheduling was very close to his time estimate. Everyone that he brought in to work on the house was equally competent. Overall we are extremely pleased and plan on utilizing his services again. We highly recommend "Black Cat Design Build LLC"
Working with Chris was like working with a good friend. He added a third bath to my home and did so on time, on budget and left me with a great looking bathroom. I enjoy being in the space he created. He has a great sense of design and offers it up with integrity. thanks
Chris Miller is fantastic to work with. His experience and eye for design coupled with his contractor skills made for the perfect combination we were looking for when choosing someone to spearhead our master bathroom/closet addition and rear covered patio. He walked us easily through the process from the beginning and followed the entire project with communication and professionalism. His sub contractors were also very good to work with. Chris was present and ensured his subs were providing the ...
Chris and his team were very professional. I had the concept and they had the plan. After explaining what I had in mind he sent me to the right places to look pick out items for the bathroom remodel. His subs were very experienced and I had confidence in their craftsmanship. He kept the project on schedule and upon completion we were left with a very slick and updated bathroom.
We have worked on many projects with Chris as the electrical contractor and are always very pleased with his attention to detail and the quality and craftsmanship of his crews work. We also like that he respects a schedule and sticks to it the best that he can. He is great at communicating and following up which makes it nice for all parties involved.
Chris Miller is Black Cat Designs. He designed our 1900s kitchen to bring it updated but kept it with the period of the house. He did the same with our upstairs bathroom. He also designed and is advising me how to direct contractors for a quilting studio that is nicely blending with our 100-year old home. I will always work with Chris. I trust his judgment as he is clear why something would or may not work. I trust his integrity and work ethic. Excellent work.
I have had the opportunity to work with Chris on two projects over the last year. The first project was an extensive remodel on the exterior and interior of my house. The job could not have gone better. The work was done in a timely manor and top quality installation. The second job was for my businesses show room remodel. Chris had great ideas and designs that set the place off. We have received several comments on how good it looks from customers. I would highly recommend Chris on your next project!
Chris Miller has been our design-build choice for over 12 years now. He has added a covered veranda to our home, remodeled our kitchen and just upgraded our master bath with a custom tile shower room and more. We chose him initially because he was the only designer we interviewed who really listened to us and designed what we asked for. Through all our projects over the years, he has consistently performed: communications are frequent, work is done on time and in budget, subs are excellent, work is top quality. We have complete trust in his design sense and planning skills, and he has never disappointed us. We wouldn't do a house project without Chris. With him, we always get exactly what we want. Plus, he is fun to work with!
Over the years, Chris Miller has designed many areas of our home--our incredible kitchen, our glorious bathroom as well as my quilting studio from start-to-finish. I trust his taste and choices, his integrity, and his work ethic. Chris Miller is da bomb.
Posted on Google April MellenTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Chris of Black Cat Design recently completed a two‑room addition above our garage (a bedroom and dressing room), and we truly could not have asked for a better experience. Going into a project of this scale, we were prepared for disruption, delays, and budget surprises—because that’s what everyone warns you about. Instead, none of those fears came true. Aside from a couple of minor, well‑communicated delays, the entire process felt smooth and remarkably low‑stress. The final cost came in at the lower end of the estimate, even with a few add‑ons we chose along the way. Chris took the time to understand our vision, presented thoughtful options at different price points, and never made assumptions or pressured us in any direction. The transparency throughout the project was exceptional. Chris is a true professional, and it’s clear he surrounds himself with subcontractors who share the same standards. Everyone who worked on our home was respectful, skilled, and pleasant to have around. The finished addition exceeded our expectations—friends and family consistently tell us they never would have guessed it wasn’t part of the original house. Honestly, the only disappointing part of the project ending is that we don’t get to see Chris regularly anymore. He went above and beyond, whether it was fixing a sticking door, meeting the garage door repair technician, or keeping our cat entertained. Working with him has been an absolute pleasure, and we recommend Black Cat Design without hesitation.Posted on Google Kevin MccaffreyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We recently finished a complete remodel of our kitchen under the guidance of Chris Miller / Black Cat Design Build LLC. We're giving Chris a 5 star rating due to the exceptional overall experience. Our project was complete in all aspects, new cabinets, hardwood floors, quartzite countertops and backsplash, plumbing, lighting, moving of walls, replacement and relocation of major appliances. Most notable was Chris's overall competence throughout the project. From our original interview of him, working through the design details, then into the construction phase, he made us feel at ease, not an easy task considering the challenges and disruption this sort of project can present. This was a 12 week process, for most of which we remained living in the home. Chris's group of contractors were also great. Quality workmanship and professionalism were displayed daily. They took great care in mitigating the mess and disruption of their respective jobs and the work performed was excellent. Another very important reason for our strong rating was Chris's communicative skills, no matter the situation or question that arose, we received thorough responses in a timely manner. Concerning the monetary aspects of the job, Chris's approach is transparent. His proposal process was clear, and he maintained adherence to his estimate. With respect to timeline, Chris and his subcontractors also performed well here, adhering to the originally quoted timeline. Ultimately, we're incredibly happy with the outcome of our project. What few challenges arose were dealt with quickly and to our satisfaction. We would highly recommend Black Cat Design Build LLC to anyone seeking a kitchen remodel or other home construction project.Posted on Google Mike DayoobTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Working with Chris was an absolute pleasure. His process from start to finish was very transparent, he has excellent ideas and the end product is exactly as promised. No surprises. Chris runs his business as everyone should - clear communication, projects finished on time and on budget, with the work done correctly. We have used Black Cat for two projects and will definitely do so again. Thank you, Chris!Posted on Google J HTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We interviewed no less than eight contractors, and Chris Miller, Black Cat Design Build, LLC stood out in talent, creative vision, and competency. This was a challenging project and we wanted to make sure that we had the right contractor and designer for the job. The whole house remodel was an extremely detailed undertaking. We also recognized that we are very particular about the workmanship, so we needed to select a design-build firm that we believed would not compromise on the quality of the work delivered. Black Cat was our top choice. Chris stepped into the chaos we had inadvertently created, and from bedlam created a beautiful, expansive, extremely functional, and tranquil living space that we are enjoying immensely. We are deeply grateful for all of his work, and the wonderful team of craftsmen and workers that he brought in to work on our home. Beyond his creative brilliance and out-of-the-box dynamic problem-solving skills, these are the salient qualities Chris possesses that made this project and working with Black Cat Design Build, LLC a successful undertaking: Honest: In both his communication style and financially. I could have handed him my checkbook and not be concerned about any mishandling of funds. Accepts responsibility for mistakes. Never beats around the bush. Commitment: Hires the best people available for your project. Works to ensure everything is done correctly. He will be your best advocate. Timeliness: Returns your text and phone calls almost immediately. Respect and thoughtfulness: Leaves work area clean. Always makes the time to address clients' concerns. Let's you know when he will not be available. Sense of Humor: Remodeling is a long process. There will be challenges and obstacles along the way. Having a sense of humor can go a long way. Suggestion: This is a collaborative experience that requires an open and ongoing communication throughout the entire process. Always remember that this is a partnership, and you are very fortunate if Chris is available to be your creative partner.Posted on Google Sean ThorntonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Very professional and great communication. Everything went according to plan and our new bathroom remodel is wonderful. Thank you.Posted on Google Lea Ann PoundersTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We are so impressed & happy with the adu apartment complete with a full kitchen, bath, bedroom, living area, laundry, private and shared entrances Chris created for my Mother. All of our neighbors, friends, and family cannot believe how seamless the integration between our home and her 612 ft apartment. He did a wonderful job communicating with us throughout the entire process. He listened to our ideas and brought them beautifully to life. In addition Chris worked with us re siding our home, replacing windows, repairing damage, painting the entire structure, and having an additional driveway poured. All of the people he brought onto the job were professional and skilled. Our family highly recommends Black cat design build. -Lea Ann & Eddie Pounders -Bonnie BentonPosted on Google Grandpa -Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The short version of our review is that we were very happy to have chosen Chris for our renovation project and would hire him again. In fact, we most likely will for another project. Chris offers being a designer, and a very good one, and a contractor, which makes the coordination of any project that much easier. We had a time difficulty articulating what we were looking for and Chris has a very good ability to figure it out, and offer you alternatives: carpets, paint color, tiles, etc... While no project ever gets to be executed exactly as planned, and this one was no exception, Chris is very good at keeping things on track and offering good alternatives. When it is all said and done, Chris main quality is his commitment to getting everything done to your satisfaction, even in the finest details. And he never balks at getting the job done himself if it is what it takes.Posted on Google Helga W ThorntonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
