POPULAR QUESTIONS

  • I don't know where to start; how can you help?

    Whether you are freshening up your existing space or having it totally gutted and redone, good planning is key, along with a design that suits your needs and accommodates everyone else who lives in the home.

    Allow us to help you make your dream come true!

  • Is design/build right for my project?

    The Design/Build Method: Homeowners who utilize this method use a new approach rather than traditional methods. During the past 20 years, the utilization of the design/build method has grown by leaps and bounds in the U.S., so it is not hard to believe it is one of the most important modern design trends! This method can be used in almost any budget.

  • What if I'm not looking for a full guttdown kitchen remodel?

    If the current economic conditions have made you delay a large remodeling project, you might want to think about doing some simple but effective remodeling jobs. You don’t want to spend all your money in one full swoop; if you can delay your gratification, you can enhance the quality of your life in phases. In the long run, you will definitely see a return on your investment!

    Kitchen Refresh
    Some improvements can be made to transform your kitchen without spending a fortune, such as installing new cabinets, installing new appliances, changing the countertops, and replacing the faucets and fixtures. Categorize the project logically; for example, if you plan to keep the existing cabinets, you can change the sink, faucet, and counter-tops in one phase, refinish the cabinets and replace the hardware in the next phase, and include the back-splash and floor tile in either one of those phases. When considering adding any of these elements, decide if they mesh with your vision of the room; if so, go ahead with it!

  • Where can I go to see and select materials, such as granite slabs, tile, etc.
