You have each trusted us with one of your most valued possessions and we’ve had the pleasure of seeing how our work has enriched your lives. And in turn many of you have shared your stories on GuildQuality surveys. This resulted in our company achieving the GuildMaster award for the sixth straight year! We give thanks that such a spirit of cooperation and good will permeates our client relationships.

We appreciate all of your survey responses asking about your experience with us.

What is Guild Quality and a GuildMaster Award?

Guild Quality is a third party service that offers you the opportunity to give us your honest feedback after we complete a project for you. Each year, GuildQuality gives special recognition through the GuildMaster Award to companies that demonstrate an ability to deliver a consistently superior customer experience.

Of course we are pleased that you are making so many positive comments and the majority of the time we receive only the highest ratings. It is our deepest desire for our clients to be more than satisfied and we work hard to that end. Occasionally a survey indicates room for improvement and we take that seriously, putting great effort into refining our process in that particular area. Your survey responses are very important in helping us reach our goal of Atlanta Design & Build being your first choice next time you remodel.
