Remodels

Remodels can be an excellent way to turn a “not-quite” space into a “just right” one. We will hear your needs, both general and specific and work with you to turn them into the space that serves you now and delights you to use. Tim has expertise in finding usable space in an existing structure and will look for that first before suggesting adding new space if possible.

Words from our happy clients
“Tim is a great design professional. He listens to his clients, hears the issue, and is able to create a solution. He is also very timely and aware of his client’s financial and time concerns. Tim is also a very nice person, and relatable; I never felt like I was intruding on his time with a question about the status of the building permit, or the renovation of the house. I felt his cost was very competitive and that I received value with his work.”
