I have worked with Chris for many years. His design ideas will make you want to rebuild your house and not just your kitchen. As a home designer he is an artist in his own right.

In my experience with building projects, in home or business, my time with Chris has been the best.

 

His thoughts and process, and quality surpass anything I could have imagined.  Also, he is kind and a good man, and always adds the touches that matter the most.

 I have worked with Chris Ely for over five years, and I truly wish I could work with him on every project.   His attention to detail, care for his clients, and follow-through are unmatched in the industry.

One of Chris's greatest strengths is his ability to take a client's ideas and turn them into a finished design that exceeds their expectations.  As a builder, it can be difficult to convey exactly what a completed project will look and feel like from a basic set of plans. Chris brings those plans to life. His renderings are so precise and realistic that at times it is honestly difficult to tell whether you are looking at one of his renderings or a photograph of the completed project. The accuracy between what he designs and what ultimately gets built is remarkable.

 

Chris works closely with each client to ensure they are selecting the right materials, styles, products, and finishes for their taste, lifestyle, and home. He has an incredible ability to understand what a client is trying to accomplish and then translate that vision into something that can actually be built.

When I receive a set of plans from Chris, I know the details have been covered.

Every aspect has been carefully thought through to ensure we can execute exactly what the client wants and needs. Cabinetry is designed for both beauty and functionality, furniture placement is intentional, finishes are coordinated, and no detail is overlooked-even down to the light bulbs.

That level of planning makes an enormous difference for both the client and the builder. Chris makes the construction process smoother and helps us deliver a finished project everyone can be proud of.

After more than five years of working together, I have tremendous respect for Chris and the work he does. I hope I have the opportunity to work with him for many more years to come.

As a design-build firm, we have collaborated with Christopher on numerous projects. He not only brings his vast knowledge and many years of experience but most of all we get personal attention and comprehensive service that speaks volumes.  

                                                                     

One of the most noteworthy advantages of collaborating with Christopher is the personal attention and comprehensive service he provides. He goes above and beyond to understand our clients' unique needs and preferences, elevating their overall satisfaction. By incorporating Christopher's design insights and recommendations, our projects have consistently exceeded expectations, leaving our clients thrilled with their space.

 

Furthermore, Christopher's exceptional commitment to client satisfaction inevitably reflects positively on Atreum Construction Services.  When clients express their sheer delight with their newly renovated spaces, it reinforces our company's reputation for delivering top-notch results and ensures continued referrals and glowing recommendations.

 

So, beyond benefiting our clients, partnering with Christopher undoubtedly contributes to enhancing Atreum's reputation as a trusted and client-centric design-build firm.  It's a win-win situation that allows us to create exceptional spaces while fostering long-lasting relationships with our valued clients.

Thanks to a fortuitous opportunity, we were introduced, and I loved your design philosophy. I immediately knew that you would be a valuable asset on my team of resources, with your building background and varied design expertise.

 

The very first project you created was for a home with an extra-large kitchen, a professional chef and 9 children.  It was a hit with my clients.  They think their new kitchen is ‘Amazing’ and so do I!  In addition, I’ve seen your creative talents on several amazing existing kitchen transformations. You know how to see the bigger picture, to unite the gathering spaces, along with the kitchen, into one unified living space that people love to be in.

I just completed a walkthrough with one of Chris’s clients in Huntersville. I served as the custom builder on the project and helped execute the 3-D realistic plans that Chris created with the clients.
Chris incorporated unique and personal features such as a custom cabinet front for a hidden pantry.  As a builder, there is true joy in watching the homeowner show me the features and describe how the transformed space impacted their everyday life.  Chris’s focus on the client is remarkable and I see it in every finished product. He shares the same passion for the client experience that I do. I am honored to work with him and look forward to the next transformation!
