“We chose you for your design experience and personality match. However, throughout the project we became aware of the importance – and strength of your construction and process management skills. You excel in these areas, and as a new client of yours I had not valued that as much as I do now. We love our “new old” home. Thank you for all your hard work, dedication and time!”

-Rieke and Craig Hankins, Minneapolis

“Having never been through anything like this, we were nervous about how this would go. These guys were with us every step of the way, laying out options and offering ideas and solutions. There was tremendous clarity about the budget, the design, the flexibility, and everything we could think of!

Once construction started, we could not have predicted how well it went: everyone showed up on time, finished their work according to plan. When there was a glitch, it was effectively communicated and a solution was found and implemented. There were, however, incredibly few glitches considering how many things COULD go wrong in a process like this! We were most impressed that Sid or Rob, and sometimes both, showed up on the site at least once each day to check workmanship, quality, materials, answer our questions, and generally stay connected.

There is so much to say. We did our due diligence in interviewing prospective builders, but honestly, no one came close to being as forthright, clear, compelling in design, and developing a working relationship with us like Revolution Design did. It’s difficult to refer to them as “Revolution” because our experience was so much more than working with “a company.” We worked with individuals, Sid and Rob, and they are truly masters at what they do. From architecture to artful design, from construction oversight to problem-solving, they were engaged in this project from start to finish.

They incorporated our care and concern for budget and expenses AND our desire for a top quality finished product and kept us in the loop on everything. They went shopping with us, gave us resources for choosing fixtures, offered insights into the building process and environment, and helped us choose all the many details that go into something like this. It would have been completely overwhelming, but they gave us everything we needed. Our 12-year-old son was completely engaged as he became the self-appointed “holder of the Gantt chart” which was the timeline for the project. Here’s what he says: ‘Sid and Rob were on schedule the whole time, they answered all my thousands of questions, and they were really, really nice.’

To summarize, here’s what we say: Sid and Rob totally and completely rock and if we had it to do all over again, they are exactly who we would want to work with. We are delighted, thrilled, giddy-even, over the finished project. What could be better, a great relationship, excellent process, and wonderful results?”

“We just completed a double bathroom reconfiguration/rebuild with Sid Levin and Revolution Design and Build. This was our fourth project designed by Sid, but the first with him in charge and fully responsible with his own company. The fact that we have returned to him time after time speaks to how highly we regard his work. We are thrilled to say that our expectations were fulfilled completely.

This most recent project involved the complete demolition of two 1950’s era bathrooms with the objective of having the space re-allocated to provide a modern and more spacious master bath and a guest bath we would be proud to offer to any visitor. Sid prepared three creative solutions and we ultimately settled on a plan that borrowed features from two of his proposed designs. The result is two rooms that perfectly suit our needs both as to their functionality and our personal design aesthetic.

To anyone considering hiring Sid, we offer the following three reasons to guide you in your decision:

Trust. You will find that you can trust Sid in every aspect of the job.

In other words, you can rest assured that he will:

● Design with your budget in mind, and advise you of any decisions that

might cause the costs to escalate.

● Find the best subcontractors and artisans to execute the design.

● Care for your project and your property as if they were his own.

● Keep you informed of the project’s status.

Creativity. Sid has an incredible creative talent and artistic sense. You will find that he can turn otherwise mundane details into features that improve functionality as well as amuse you every time you enter the space. As an example, we were having trouble selecting cabinet hardware for our master bath. He noticed an unusual handle in a catalog we were flipping through, and created an ingenious solution for mounting the handles that became a signature design highlight for the room.

Work Ethic. Sid works hard to deliver the design and completion of your project on schedule. He expects all of his subcontractors to follow his lead – show up when scheduled and complete their work properly and on-time. And he helps his subs by being on-site any time a critical construction decision is happening.

We recommend Sid Levin and Revolution Design and Build highly. We are happy to talk with any prospective client and to show off all of our Sid Levin creations.”

-Jeff and Sally Shlosberg, Edina

“Personal attention every step of the way - That's the difference that Sid and Rob brought to our project. They got to know our family and designed a kitchen and basement that would let us live and grow in our home, our way. During construction they made sure we, and the folks working on our home, knew what to expect everyday. Everyone working on our home has said what a pleasure it is to work on such an organized, well communicated project. That means not only do we get Sid and Rob, and their personal attention, we get great subcontractors who understand our project and want to do their best.

-Katrina and Hal Heinze, Plymouth

“We have built or remodeled seven homes during the past 20 years and we have never worked with a designer or builder such as Sid Levin at Revolution Design and Builders. His organization is a breath of fresh air. Our latest project involved a rehabilitation of part of our house as well as certain cosmetic changes. Sid spent many hours meeting with us to plan the project and to commit to a schedule that accommodated our busy lives. Sid was able to offer many innovative and constructive ideas that assisted us in the project and provided us with numerous alternatives for many components of the project.

The project went forward like clockwork and all deadlines were met. Sid made it quite easy for us to initiate changes, and always accompanied these with a smile. The work was completed on schedule without any deficiencies in part because of the quality of the subcontractors that work for Sid and the manner in which they conduct their business. The premises was cleaned every night before the contractors left, and at the end of the job, everything was returned to its former place. Sid and his partner Rob were excellent communicators and listeners, adhered to the schedules, and always made certain that we were being treated professionally and personally.

We unequivocally recommend Sid and his company for your building and design needs.”

"You are praiseworthy of our trust as a skillful and innovative guide in the remodeling process. Reputation is a sequence of mutual connections, a trust developed in harmony with one another. To have a reputation that is commendable and valuable, others must acknowledge something in you: that you treat people well and fairly, that you are honest, that you are a reliable worker, and that time after time you are creative and insightful. It is extraordinary to go into the remodeling process with you because you are able to capture our thoughts and dreams, transform them into a viable plan, and carry out the proposal.

Reputation is the full amount of what you stand for, what you can be trusted to do, the evidence of your achievement, how you have been experienced by others, and the esteem you have gained. Our definition of Sid Levin is: Values in action! Our remodeling experience with you has been exceptional at ever facet of the process.

-Karen and George Auel, St. Paul

“We remodeled our house 10 years ago and felt that we received fair value but the problems we had were pretty typical of many contractors: delays, finger pointing at and from subcontractors, and a project that took nine months when it was supposed to take a couple of months. However, we had no idea how great it could be to work with a true professional on all levels. Working with Revolution Design and Build was an eye-opening and incredible experience. While in design Sid never imposed his ideas on us as he really listened, heard, and cared about how we lived. He was not just remodeling a house; he was improving our home. And improve it he did!

We spoke personally with Sid every day during construction, usually multiple times a day. He had a schedule on the wall during the entire project that we could follow along, and once he even had to update it, because we were so far AHEAD of schedule! When the opportunities arose, he made suggestions we would never have thought about and took a very green and holistic view to the entire project. Moreover, his subcontractors were delightful: punctual, caring, skilled, and respectful of us and our neighbors. Revolution's combination of vision and attention to detail were exemplary.

Now that we’ve “moved back in,” we find that our home works perfectly for how we live. Every day we comment about how much we love it and it fits US.”

-Steven and Faith Rothberg, Edina

“Revolution Design did an incredible job on our home remodel. Not only did Sid accurately interpret and execute what we wanted out of the project, he did so in a very timely manner. The most amazing thing to me was that Sid put together a day by day schedule of everything that would happen throughout the course of the remodel, and lived up to it to the day! I only wish my own business ran as smoothly!"

-Michele and Tom Mingo, Mendota Heights

“Sid was great to work with. He listened closely to what I wanted and designed a new entry way that blends well with the rest of the house. I’m thrilled with the results! I especially was impressed with the detailed schedules he provided through the process. Sid has a great sense of style and was able to interpret an idea into a beautiful home improvement. I would highly recommend Sid and Revolution.”

-Chantell Rust, Minneapolis

“First of all, let me say that I never imagined my house could be as great as it is! Sid listened to my lifestyle, my goals and totally re-organized my home into something so functional! I never thought my home could perform the way it does. Ideas showed up in his design that I hardly remembered in the interview, but were exactly what he knew would make my life so much easier. During construction, Sid kept me well informed of the schedule, how things were going, and treated me with respect, educating me on various things as we went along. When we were almost done, we went through and checked off everything and he made notes on anything that needed a little attention before he was done. He followed through on everything, and I got the house I never dreamed I'd have. I'd recommend Sid to anyone."
