When David was looking for a
complete remodel of his Copper Canyon home, he asked local builders and
designers he knew who they’d recommend. One name kept coming
up, family-owned and operated Stately Design & Renovation. When he
contacted Owner/Operator Rick Baker, he felt immediately comfortable with
him. He asked for a list of clients to call for referrals and recognized some
names on the list. They all gave glowing recommendations and David was soon
partnering with Stately Design & Renovation on his monumental remodel
project.
“We tore the existing house down to the studs
and foundation, doubled the square footage, and essentially built a whole new
house,” David said. “From day one, Rick and his staff did what it took to
realize our vision. They communicated with me daily, so I always knew where
we were on the build. Rick was great about understanding what my wife, our
architect, and our designer wanted and, if we had any questions, he was only
a phone call away.”
Start to
Finish
David worked closely with Production Manager
Justin Lindemulder as Rick oversaw the project. “With any large construction
project, there will be things that go wrong,” he said. ” When they did,
we never worried. Justin was right there making it right. Often we didn’t
even know there had been a problem until he’d already addressed it. He
communicated with us every step of the way, so we always knew what to expect
next. And we never felt like we weren’t his number one priority.” In the end,
David’s remodel came in on time and on budget.
David and his wife have been in their new
home since June 2023 and he and Rick have become hunting buddies. “It’s not
like they finished our job and disappeared,” he said. “I still text with
Justin often. They’re all around good people who really care about what they
do. They’re like part of our family now and I feel completely confident
recommending them to my family and friends.”
Building
the Dream
Rick Baker founded Stately Design &
Renovation in 2007 as a boutique renovation company. Over 17 years, 600
renovations—and as many happy clients—they’ve settled into their niche of
ground-up additions, large-scale renovations, and second-story add-ons. “We
really enjoy projects with high design and love taking a home from
traditional to contemporary,” Rick said. “The biggest transformations
are the most fun for us.”
Dependable, honest, trustworthy, punctual,
professional, creative, collaborative, and communicative aren’t just words to
Rick Baker and his Stately Design team. They are benchmarks that guide their
work and inform their interactions with a client. Those clients thank them by
recommending them to their family and friends and calling them back when
they’re ready for the next renovation project.
Referrals
and Recommendations
For Rick and his team, the best part of the
job is the relationships they build with their clients. “Nearly all our work
is referral based and that means a lot to us,” Rick said. “When our customers
decide they’re ready for the next renovation project, they call us back. We
enjoy being a partner our customers continue to reach out to and trust to
help provide solutions as their needs change over time and who they feel confident
recommending to their friends and family. My greatest success in life—other
than my two wonderful kids—has been helping our clients achieve their vision
and seeing the SDR team improve their own lives because they work at Stately
Design.” They also have longtime relationships with local subcontractors and
trade partners they’ve grown to trust and call friends.

“We chose Stately Design and Renovation
based on recommendations from their previous clients in the neighborhood and
based on our discussions with Rick Baker. Our project was an extensive
renovation and expansion of a 6000-square-foot home in Timarron and included
a brand new, expanded kitchen, family room, laundry room, and playroom. In
addition, we added a new bedroom and bathroom and remodeled several other
rooms in the house. The front elevation of the home was also extensively
updated.
Rick and the Stately Design team were honest, direct, and flexible
throughout the whole project. They collaborated with us on details and
designs and then executed the work in a very professional manner. We would
definitely choose Stately Design and Renovation again for any remodeling
project.”
