Dovetail Group

Kayla, Liz, and company at Dovetail painlessly guided us through a full house gut job and remodel. We removed all interior walls, floors, ceilings, plumbing, electrical, and HVAC. We basically built a new home inside the existing shell and the entire process from start to finish was as organized, professional, and seamless as could possibly be expected. (And I have spent the past 15 years working in the design/remodel business). There was never any doubt in our minds that Dovetail would handle this massive project for us as they have a superior group of suppliers and contractors. During our initial meeting we described our design esthetic and a very broad generalization of our ideas for space planning inside the shell. At our next meeting we were presented with 3 floor plan layouts which all captured and went beyond what we envisioned. From there we moved rapidly into interior design for cabinets, countertops, plumbing, lighting, windows, tile, hardwood, carpets, rugs and all interior furniture and fixtures. LOTS of moving parts all handled effortlessly with a bare minimum of running around to vendors as they handled assembling options for us to choose during our meetings at the Dovetail office. Such an easy process! Dovetail’s grasp of our Scandi-Contempo-Minimum ethos was instantly and consistently applied to all of the selections we were presented with and developed an amazingly cohesive, comfortable, and beautiful finished product. Based on my past experience in the business, I had very high expectations for this project, yet somehow Dovetail and their contractors exceeded every single one. WE LOVE OUR NEW HOME! Last and certainly not least, this is a seriously fun group to work with. They were always very positive and very communicative throughout. We never had to wonder what our next step would be. If you are here trying to decide who to hire, HIRE DOVETAIL GROUP!

We knew of Dovetail through our daughter who went to school with Kayla at Ball State - she came to our house for a baby shower 7 years ago and was literally drawing on a napkin her ideas for our kitchen with Liz. We hired them to do what we initially thought was going to be a kitchen make-over, but like any home project, it evolved into a main level remodel. Dovetail ran point on not only the design of our new kitchen, but also brought in several approved contractors that just knocked it out of the park! Unlike other design groups, they act as not only the lead designers, they project manage the entire project as well - which means they ring lead the contractors, suppliers, etc. To us, this was probably the most valuable part of our remodeling experience. Both Kayla and Liz are not just good people, but they really care about making what can be an intrusive and emotionally draining process as smooth as possible. We still consult with them on interior projects, we just finished our second project with them and we have #3 on the docket for next year. We've also referred them to neighbors and friends and they have had similar experiences.

Our experience with DoveTail Group was outstanding. We hired them for an entire remodel of our kitchen in 2021. Going through this process can be stressful, and worse during a pandemic, but the DoveTail Group made it fun and stress free! From the first meeting, Kayla and Liz were fantastic and we immediately got the sense they were subject matter experts in design and construction. The first meeting was at our home, which I found out later, was their approach to get a sense of our personal style. Both listened to the ideas we had for the kitchen. Within a short time, and with emailing/texting ideas we both found on Houzz, we had a rough schematic of what our new kitchen would look like. The DoveTail Group impressed us many times throughout the project, but their insight and expertise to match a Hubbardton Forge light fixture we bought years ago to purchase a larger style for over the kitchen island was impressive! The end result is a space that blows us away every single day. We feel it really does look like something from a home design magazine.

We LOVED working with Dovetail - their ENTIRE team was amazing! They helped us with a complete first floor remodel. We wanted walls gone, kitchen bigger, open space and they provided that and more! They even moved the stairs to the basement to allow for a better flow on our first floor. You would never know this is the same house - INCREDIBLE design ideas and incredible team that made renderings that actually came to life. They helped with choices for flooring, tile, paint, furniture, fabric, and more. If I wasn't sure on an option, they provided more. They truly wanted us to me happy and love our new space and WE DO!! They also connected us with an amazing general contractor and remodeling duo at Innovative Homes and Remodeling, Zac and Brian. Couldn't ask for a better team and experience.

We loved working with Dovetail! They have are enthusiastic about design, have innovative ideas, & systems to keep everyone informed along the way. It was a super smooth and exciting process. The outcome is phenomenal. I absolutely LOVE the main floor. It’s gorgeous and functions so much better than before. I’ve referred them to many friends and clients. I am confident you’ll have a wonderful experience with Dovetail!
