The design options are a result of homeowners online research combined with an in-home consultation with Design Build Planners. There is also a proprietary profile checklist that homeowners fill out that depicts their lifestyle and room usage. After compiling this information, Design Build Planners incorporates their construction knowledge and design creativity for the space with a focus on the budget and overall investment.
Below are three “before” pictures as well as the the final computer designs created by Jason Parsons, a Certified Kitchen and Bath Remodeler. Follow along as progress pictures will be added.
