Detailed Profile

Distinctive Design Remodeling has been transforming homes in the Lexington area for 19 years, and their move into solar installation reflects a broader trend among established remodeling contractors who recognize that energy upgrades have become a core part of the home improvement conversation.

What earned Distinctive Design the top spot in Kentucky was their combination of craftsmanship reputation and customer satisfaction. Their 4.8-star Google rating from 332 reviews shows that the quality standards they built in traditional remodeling have carried over to their solar work. In a state where solar adoption is still relatively modest, having a well-known local contractor offer solar panels gives homeowners a comfort level they might not have with a solar-only company they have never heard of.

The company is NABCEP certified and takes a design-oriented approach to solar installations, paying attention to aesthetics and roof integration in a way that appeals to homeowners who care about how their home looks. They handle permitting with local Kentucky utilities and coordinate inspections as part of their standard project scope.

Their Lexington base positions them well to serve the Bluegrass Region and central Kentucky, where the mix of historic homes and newer subdivisions presents varied installation challenges.

With a composite score of 63.1, Distinctive Design Remodeling is our top-ranked solar company in Kentucky for 2026.
