Derek and Kate completely rehabbed a condo that we were going to use as a rental property. Their quote was fair, the job started and finished when they said it would, they kept to the budget, and the quality of the work is excellent. Kate’s design help selecting everything (appliances, cabinets, fixtures, flooring/tile, colors, etc), understanding the need for durability but also cost-effectiveness for a rental, was invaluable. She saved us so much time and worry by narrowing endless choices to a few stylish options, and also thought of things we would not, being first-time landlords. Our tenants love the place, and have told us their guests also rave about it. We highly recommend Kate Grzymala Design for all your renovation or design needs, and we will definitely call them for our next project.Read More

My husband and I can't say enough great things about the amazing work that Kate and Derek/Eagles Holding Partnership did on our home addition, custom kitchen, mudroom, and master bathroom/closet. From start to finish, they exceeded all of our expectations! The Kate and Derek team were an absolute pleasure to work with. They were professional, personable, and took the time to understand our vision for the space. It felt more like collaborating with friends who genuinely cared about the outcome than working with a typical contractor. The addition looks amazing — blending seamlessly with the original structure and the design maximizes the new space. Our custom kitchen is now the heart of our home, with beautiful, thoughtful details that truly reflect our style and needs. And the master bathroom is all luxury. Communication was excellent throughout the entire process. And the craftsmanship and quality was outstanding, everything turned out exactly how we envisioned it. We couldn’t be happier with the results and are grateful for such a positive experience. We highly recommend Kate and Eagles Holding Partnership to anyone seeking high-quality home improvements!Read More

We recently had the pleasure of working with Kate and her husband Derek to do a renovation and addition to our home of 12 years. This was a monster of a project that encompassed taking the inside of the house basically down to studs and adding 12 feet to the back of the home (on several levels). Over the course of six months, they completely transformed our 1950’s split-level into a modern, beautiful home that exceeded all our expectations. From the very beginning, their professionalism and dedication were evident. Derek managed all the building work with exceptional skill, ensuring that every detail was executed to perfection. His craftsmanship is truly top-notch, and it was clear that he takes great pride in his work. On the design side, Kate brought our vision to life with her incredible creativity and keen eye for detail. She listened carefully to our ideas and provided insightful suggestions that enhanced the overall design. Her ability to blend functionality with aesthetics resulted in a space that is not only beautiful but also highly practical. The final product is nothing short of amazing. Our home now boasts a stunning, modern design that we absolutely love. The quality of the work is evident in every corner, and we have received countless compliments from friends, family and neighbors. If you're looking for a reliable, talented, and professional team for your construction and design needs, we highly recommend Kate and Derek. Their dedication, expertise, and passion for their work make them a standout choice. We couldn't be happier with the results and are grateful for the incredible transformation they brought to our home.Read More

Kate Gryzmala, her husband Derek, and their team are the perfect interior design and construction company. We hired them to update our kitchen and completely gut and redo our primary bathroom. Other designers told us we needed to get all new cabinets in our kitchen, but Kate walked in, looked around, and immediately stated we didn’t need new cabinets and insured us that our kitchen would look totally updated while keeping our cabinets. She was right! Not only does it look amazing and updated but we were also able to save a lot of money. I don’t think there is anything that Derek can’t do. He is very talented and a true perfectionist. If you can imagine it, he can build it. Derek and his entire team are hardworking, professional, and trustworthy. They were respectful of our house, neat, worked every day from 8-5, and were courteous to our whole family. I had never worked with an interior designer, so I didn’t know what to expect. It was a pleasure working with Kate! Kate made the experience fun and walked us through the whole process. She is incredibly gifted, easy to work with, detail-oriented, cost-conscious, and always accessible. Kate is passionate about design, and it shows in her positive attitude, energy level, and enthusiasm. She took the time to listen to our likes, wants, and needs and then helped us choose everything (paint colors, backsplash, tiles, vanities, tub, lighting, mirrors, etc.) by joining us at stores and picking 5-10 options for each item and sending us the links to each item. Having her do research and narrow down the choices for us was so helpful and made the process less overwhelming. She also shared her designer discounts and got us price adjustments when possible. If you are looking for a fantastic interior designer who is fun to work with, I would highly recommend Kate. She made the process extremely easy and stress-free. I highly, highly recommend Kate and her team. We love the results and would definitely hire them again!Read More

Last month I did something I’ve been dreaming of since I bought my Village Shires townhouse 4+ years ago…I got a master bathroom put in my bedroom and updated the hall bathroom for the boys(which we all shared until now). Kate Gryzmala and her husband Derek Kate Grzymala Design are a design and construction power couple. They are so talented in their individual crafts and their attention to detail was amazing. I had no idea how this was going to look, but Kate took me by the hand and guided me through tiles, vanities, mirrors, paint colors…everything, until I had MY own bathroom. Derek and his team of contractors worked from 8-5 everyday until it was finished! They were kind and respectful of me working from home the entire time. I could go on forever about how wonderful I think these people are, how excited the boys are about their bathroom or how happy I am to have my own space. Kate can provide my contact information if you need a reference, I’m happy to talk to anyone who is on the fence or trying to decide between contractors/bids. I had over 5 estimates.Read More
