A Curbless Shower Transforms a 1997 Master Bath

For homeowners that have found their forever home, installing age-in-place features is an important consideration when remodeling. Our recent clients in Colleyville wanted to make their master bathroom safer and more functional for them as they enter their golden years. The main concern was a large unusable bathtub that wasted a ton of square footage. They knew they wanted it gone and hoped to take advantage of the area with a spacious walk-in shower. With this major change noted, our team explained the benefit of a custom design package for their project, which would allow them to see the changes through detailed floor plans and renderings. Not only is this a great visual tool, but it also serves as helpful avenue of communication. For this project, as with every project we take on, our designers wanted to ensure they could successfully meet our clients’ expectations. They drew up the floor plans and renderings showcasing the modifications. Read more

The Final Countdown: Complete Your Remodel By The 2023 Holiday Season!

The months always seem to fly by after the holidays. Before you know it, the summer is over, fall is upon us, and the end-of-the-year rush is just around the corner — yet again! Time has a way of eluding us and it continues to pass by. We all know how troublesome it can be to realize you have put off tasks thinking you have more time than you actually do.

One of the most common requests we hear from homeowners throughout each year is to complete their home remodel before the holiday season. This is typically a very doable thing, so long as the start date for the project is early enough. What many of our potential clients don’t realize is that the start date isn’t referring to the day construction begins; rather it is the beginning of the design process. The initial consultation, purchase of a design package, measure appointment, completion of designs and revisions, review meetings, and signing of the proposal for construction are all preliminary steps that are required before demolition day at your home.

Mike’s Guys Home Improvement: The Ease of a Free Virtual Estimate

A 1980’s Kitchen Redesigned for 2 Home Cooks

For many of our clients, updating a space for improved functionality is just as important (or even more important) than updating for aesthetics alone. This is particularly true when the homeowner is an avid cook who enjoys spending time in the kitchen. For our recent clients in North Arlington, creating a “cook’s dream kitchen” was the overall goal for the remodel. Both clients loved prepping, cooking, and hosting dinners; they knew early on in the year that they wanted to host Thanksgiving 2022 at their home. Unfortunately, their existing kitchen wasn’t quite suitable for the occasion.  It lacked the amount of counter space and storage they desired, and the appliances did not meet their needs in regard to functionality. They met with our designers to discuss the pain-points and explore how the kitchen could be redesigned. Our team came up with a number of ways to improve the features of the space within the existing footprint in order to give the clients what they wanted. Read more

5 Benefits of Working with A Design-Build Firm for Your Major Remodel

In the past, if someone wanted to remodel their home, they would contact a general contractor and an architect.

Why You Need a Custom Design Package for Your Bathroom Remodel

There are a lot of variables that come into play during a bathroom remodel. The size and state of the existing bathroom, the complexity of the project, the features and amenities to be included, the structural changes that need to be made, and of course, the intended use of the remodeled space by the homeowners – that is, determining what modifications will most effectively solve the homeowner’s current issues with the bathroom. These variables are different for every project: perhaps the existing bathroom is too small and lacks storage space, or maybe it is insufficient for an elderly parent that needs handicap-accessible features. Maybe a remodel was started with a contractor who did things incorrectly and failed to finish the job, leaving the bathroom completely unusable. Because each of these scenarios has a different starting point and requires different courses of action to meet the homeowner’s needs, they each require their own customized design plan. Read more
