Can you just do design, or do we have to contract to build?

We’re proud to offer flexible options for design and build services. By choosing both, clients can benefit from exclusive incentives, potentially saving thousands on their project. However, if you prefer to engage us only for the design phase, that’s completely fine too.

Why did you start this company?

When I came to the United States from Albania at 20 years of age with little to nothing, I wanted to build a business doing what I loved. I am so proud of what we have accomplished. I couldn’t have started this amazing company without my dedicated team of experts and loyal clients. We started small, handling many kitchen and bathroom remodeling projects and our work started getting more complex. In recent years, we have grown into a larger company because of the trust and long-term relationships we have built in the area over the years, thanks to our commitment to quality. As we grow, we continue to strive to be the best in our field.

Because we have our own designers who work closely with our other building professionals across a broad spectrum of disciplines, we are able to reach amazing results for our customers on each of their projects. We provide design services by listening to our client’s needs, going shopping with them for selections and exploring our vast portfolios of past projects.
