Design Build Specialists

Design Build Specialists is committed to providing our clients with the best value for their money as well as providing an excellent experience with their contractor from day one until the end of their project. Whether it's an entire house remodel, room additions, kitchen remodel, bath remodel, mother in law-units, junior units, outdoor living or even interior door replacement, we bring the highest quality work possible for a remodel project that is custom designed for each of our client's individual needs.

Good kitchen design is a combination or experience, training, and communication. It is important to ask clients the correct set of questions and listen for what they really like, need, and can afford. For example, experience has taught us to interview the client first and ask very specific questions. Does our client have a family? Does our client want to start entertaining family and out of town guests? Is the client right or left handed? This may seem like a rather simple question but the answer will affect where the appliances will be placed and the flow of the kitchen renovation.

When clients want to remodel a significant portion of the home the task seems daunting and the question is where you begin. It is our opinion that the best place to start is with the Feasibility Study and this site has a section detailing what this is. In brief, the Feasibility study gives you the client the information you need to make an informed decision about moving forward. All too often contractors and Architects use your excitement about the project to lure you into a hasty decision that is the root cause of contractor horror stories.

Design Build Specialists has a unique process that helps our clients make an informed decision about whether they want to move forward with their project where it be one room home remodeling project or whole home remodeling project. As a home remodeling contractor, we found this process to work regardless of how large or small the job we want our clients to fully understand three things: 1) what it will look like 2) how much it will cost 3) how long it will take- before we begin any significant part of the work.

Updating your kitchen is still one of the best methods of increasing the value of your home. Here is a kitchen remodel we did in San Rafael. Very fun kitchen remodel with mosaic back splash. We had so much fun with this our client wants to do it again for a client- could that be you? Jim and Marie wanted a kitchen that had a more inviting entry and fit their family lifestyle better. For the kids and their friends they wanted a commercial "in counter" soda fountain. The clients had a problem with this wall in the background.

A Mast Bath Addition we completed for a client in Marin County (Sausalito) Before- Notice the low roof After- This Master Bath was a fun project with lots of little details. A small bathroom remodel can be deceptive. Worry too much and you may be delightfully surprised that you pulled it off with such ease. Underthink it and you may get bitten in the end. This client had a small bath area with a great view. We enlarged the area and created a bath with magnificent view and beautiful tile / granite/ limestone combination.

Bathrooms are all about comfort and convenience. Every day someone spends at least some time in these spaces so every little excellent design or product selection, or for that matter bad choice, is lived each day. Do you like to take baths, then comfortable soaking tubs are important. Good design knows the pros and cons of all your product selection options.
