Our Design Build Remodeling Services
A design build project gives homeowners one team to guide the process instead of managing separate contractors, designers, and schedules on their own. Our services include:
- Kitchen remodeling to update layouts, finishes, storage, and the way your kitchen works for your home.
- Bathroom remodeling including renovations that improve comfort, function, and the overall look of the space.
- Home additions for homeowners who need more room without leaving the home they already know.
- Custom deck construction to create additional outdoor space for relaxing and entertaining.
- Basement remodeling to turn unfinished or underused areas into functional parts of the home.
- Whole-home remodeling for larger projects that combine multiple improvements together.
- Cosmetic refreshes for homeowners looking to update finishes, materials, and style without major structural changes.
- New construction projects for clients looking for a complete building process managed by one team.
- Design planning and material selections to help organize decisions before construction begins.
Our team helps connect the decisions made during planning with the work happening during construction.

Elyse Packard
Word of mouth connection, and the work turned out amazing! I asked them to complete a custom fence job with some adaptive thought for my elderly mom’s new home, they were kind, thoughtful and it turned out better than I thought or could have done myself!
Lauren Hayslette
Matt and Ozzy did a great job replacing siding on my home. Would highly recommend their services for any home projects. I felt very confident in their knowledge and ability, they were very transparent and walked me through the entire process.
Our Process
1. Starting With the Conversation
Every project begins with understanding what you want to change. We discuss your ideas, how you use your home, your budget considerations, and what you want the finished space to accomplish.
2. Developing the Design
During the design phase, we work through layouts, materials, finishes, and other details that shape the project. Our design team helps turn ideas into a practical plan before construction begins.
3. Preparing for Construction
Because design and construction happen with one team, the details don’t get handed off between separate companies. We review the scope, schedule, materials, and construction needs so everyone is working from the same plan.
4. Building and Reviewing the Finished Project
As construction moves forward, we stay involved in the details that shape the final result. The final walkthrough gives us a chance to review the completed project, answer questions, and make sure everything has been finished properly.
