THE REMODEL ROADMAP

Remodeling can feel like chaos. With the right support you’ll tackle it like a pro, save money, and create a home you are proud of.

Empowering homeowners (just like you!) with crystal-clear guidance and direction, transforming renovation chaos into a manageable, stress-free process you’ll not only want... but absolutely NEED for your remodel.

You find yourself constantly revisiting your plans, wondering if you're making the right choices…

Will this design still feel classic five years from now, or am I setting myself up for a trendy regret?

How much should I really be budgeting for this remodel—before my ‘simple update’ turns into a money pit. My neighbors had a terrible experience, and I can't handle that stress.

What about that renovation show where they pulled off so much for so little—am I doing this all wrong?

Should I build a new kitchen or plan on a cosmetic makeover? What's the difference and is it worth it?

Remodeling can feel like a maze, but you don't have to navigate it alone. I'll show you the way.

Every decision feels overwhelming when you're bombarded with choices, opinions, and conflicting advice. You want a plan you can trust—one that eliminates the guesswork and ensures every step moves you toward the home you’ve envisioned.

Here’s the Truth...Uncertainty costs you time and money. And the worst part? Your finished project looks nothing like the dream you started with. Remodeling does not have to be this hard.

I’ve developed a clear, strategic approach to help you move forward with confidence, whether you’re making small updates or designing a brand-new kitchen. With over 20 years in the industry and hundreds of remodels just like yours, I know what works—and what leads to costly mistakes. My process ensures you make the right choices the first time, so you’re not redoing things down the line.

Depending on where you are in the process, you might need a one-time expert consultation to nail down materials and finishes or questions about contractor feedback. My approach blends design and construction expertise, so every choice isn’t just beautiful—it’s practical, buildable, and budget-smart.

No more overwhelm. No more wasted money. Just a clear, confident plan to bring your vision to life.

Let’s make this easier. Whether you need a focused session for key decisions or ongoing support to stay on track, I’ll help you create a kitchen that works today, adapts to your lifestyle, and stays timeless for years to come—without the stress.

Yes, I am ready!

Why working with me is the best choice...

Let’s be honest: You don’t want to just remodel your home—you want to get it right.

That means no costly mistakes, no sleepless nights stressing over timelines, and definitely no second-guessing your choices.

With 25 years of proven expertise and over 500 projects brought to life, I don’t just know how to manage a remodel—I’ve lived every angle of it.

Here’s why that matters:
Most designers don’t fully understand construction. Most contractors don’t think about design. I bring both together—so you don’t end up with beautiful design plans that are WAY out of budget or a functional space that doesn’t feel like home. I’ve been a general contractor, a subcontractor, and a designer. I’ve hired subcontractors and designers. General contractors and designers have hired me. I’ve worn almost every hat in the business—and that means I understand every moving piece of your project, inside and out.

I use this experience to guide you step by step, helping you avoid the common (and expensive) pitfalls that trip so many others up. When you work with me, every decision feels purposeful—and stress-free.

But let’s cut to the chase:
This isn’t just about remodeling your kitchen or bathroom. It’s about waking up every day and loving the space you’re in. And it’s about doing it without the headaches or regrets so many others experience during a renovation process.

Let’s be real—no remodel is 100% perfect. But with the right strategy, it can be amazingly close.

I'm ready to work with you through our Blueprint Series, 1:1 Work Sessions or through the self guide Remodel Roadmap Framework.
