Lovette Design+Build took home 8 awards at the 2019 Alabama Remodeling Excellence Awards including the coveted Best In Show. Clint Lovette, President and Owner of Lovette says, “I’m extremely proud of my team for these awards and especially for the Best In Show. It not only shows that our team can produce beautiful spaces for our clients but more importantly, it shows that we produce these results on a consistent basis.”
CLINT EXPLAINS HOW THEY DELIVER THESE RESULTS The entire Lovette project process encourages high-level communication between you and your project lead, ensuring exceeded expectations and a hassle-free process. As we learn about your needs and desires, we’ll also gain key details about your project that will influence material layout, strategy, schedule and budget. The result is a Design Agreement that will clarify the project goals, any challenges we perceive and a budget range. We approach each project with the mindset that this is our home. Compassion is a core value in our company and it translates to everything we do from designing a space specific to our clients needs to keeping a job site meticulously clean and organized. Since all we do is remodeling, we are specifically set up to deal with our clients living in our work areas. We go to great lengths to keep the impact on our clients and their families as minimal as possible and this includes sharing our job schedules so they know exactly what is going on and when the project will be complete. Let Lovette Design + Build show you how they are Rebuilding Expectations for the remodeling experience.

Wedgworth Design Build Mike Wedgworth has been building homes and neighborhoods around Birmingham since 1979. “Of the four-hundred plus homes we’ve built, no two are alike,” says Mike, “because each customer has a unique style and set of objectives.” Over the years, the Wedgworth Construction team has honed a process that starts with a brainstorming session. “We help our clients draft a practical wish list, balancing design aesthetics with a realistic budget,” says Mike. Our architects and interior designers transform that list into a plan that reflects the customer’s individuality. “We get much of our business from referrals,” says Mike, “which is the best measurement of our company’s success. I love building custom homes and helping families create a place that mirrors their values and lifestyle.”

B&B CONSTRUCTION
B&B Construction is a new breed of contractor and their fast rise to the top is proof that they’re doing it right. B&B uses full time employees and self performs most all of their work and their excellent quality and fast reaction time is a result of structuring the company differently that the competition. Vance Ballard says, “We’re not trying to beat your best price, we’re trying to blow your mind. Top quality is never cheap, yet in these Over the Mountain markets, it’s expected.”
