Testimonials

Once in awhile someone has something nice to say... it makes all worthwhile!

"We are in the Millwork business. We needed a space that would be useful and yet show off our interior trim, door and hardware capabilities. We have both contractors and architects visit us on a regular basis. Velha design-build's combination of commercial and residential design makes our office a show room within itself...we have never thought of changing the floor plan...it makes too much sense."

"Best I've worked with in YEARS. Velha Design Build, Inc. not only brought in a professional team that really knew their business but they were able to work around our crazy schedule. Within a two week time frame, they changed our entire office look from the 80's to well into the twenty first century. I can't say enough for Bernardo and his team. They worked days, nights, weekends, whenever we needed them. They replaced carpets, painted --- lots of painting, and remodeled all 11 of our restrooms.
Our employees are very please. Our customers and visitors are impressed with the immediate change. We would definitely use and recommend Velha Design Build, Inc. for any future projects."

"I am very impressed with the talented and creative Bernardo Velha.
He took a much older stone, concrete and plaster unique "European villa"
Home and designed master suite and great room additions as well as a
spectacular new entrance. The beauty of Bernardo\'s work is that it was
integrated to look like it had always been there. In addition, he was able to
redirect attention and focus to the huge lake that was built 30 years after the
original home. These focal window/doors also looked completely original!
Excellent work.

I recommend him highly and look forward to my next project with him.

Sincerely,"
Nancy Davis, Indianapolis, In

"Bernardo Velha is very easy to talk to and listened carefully to my needs. He provided wonderful design options in a reasonable time frame!
His designs showed evidence of his attention to detail and to my needs.
When suggesting designs that were not possible he was able to communicate clearly the reasons for inability and offered creative suggestions.
He was very honest about his timelines and communicated clearly.
He was easily accessible.
His designs showed his attention to the culture of the neighborhood, my needs and current construction trends."

"I have been doing renovations on my house now for several years and earlier in my old townhouse. What started as a simple repair and update of my kitchen wall cabinets has turned into a long term relationship with a trusted advisor. Mr. Velha is not afraid to voice his honest opinion on anything, so long as he believes it is what is best for the project. It is rare to find someone that you can trust with your biggest investment and have them return it to you so well crafted, clean, and on budget."

"Bernardo is not only extremely focused but a keen listener who takes your ideas and blends them with his considerable skills. The end result is a beautiful job at a fair price. In the timeless tradition of European craftsmen, Bernardo Velha is an artist and a man of his word. A class act!"

"Bernardo, at Velha Design Build, was recommended to me for a residential renovation that I was negotiating on a home purchase. Bernardo's creativity, knowledge, insight, and innovation proved invaluable through property changes, design modifications and time constraints. In the end, Bernardo's inspired design captured my desire to maintain the feel of a 1940's style home, while beautifully incorporating a new master suite, home office, and a fully-functional handicap-accessible quarters for my mother. Great job!"
