If your home is more than 15 years old your kitchen and bath were not designed for the way you live today.
It’s amazing what we can get used to. We put up with outdated layouts, worn countertops and hard to clean surfaces that frustrate us every day thinking ‘it’s no big deal’.
But those small everyday stresses add up to a big impact on our sense of well being. Often we don’t realize how bad it is until after we make changes, and then we wonder why we didn’t do it sooner!
Research shows that after a remodel people have a increased sense of well being at home. A well done kitchen or bathroom update makes day to day tasks easier and more enjoyable.
When Should You Update?
We used to think we should update only if it increased our home’s value more than the cost of the project. The result was waiting 20 or 30 years before remodeling, basically waiting until there was no choice but to update.
Today homeowners are realizing that real value of remodeling is how it improves our lives, not just our home’s sale price. It’s about making daily tasks easier and more enjoyable and creating place where everyone feels comfortable and welcome.
Kitchens and bathrooms need to be updated every 10 to 15 years. Technology, lifestyle, and building codes are constantly evolving and the longer we put off updates the more expensive they get.

Everything from providing a trailer on site filled with all the necessary cleaning supplies that I could possibly need all the way to taping countertops to make cleanup easier. Thank you Paul and Andrew! I look forward to a long and prosperous business relationship with you guys." Ryan Evans, Tile Installer
I could not be more thrilled with the results of all of my projects. From beginning to end, Paul and his staff were so easy to work with - they were extremely responsive to all of my questions and changes, helped me make important decisions about my projects, and were overall professional, polite and a pleasure to be around. They kept me up to date on timelines and progress via an awesome phone app and were always available to me by phone and text. I was able to go to his studio and pick everything out and they walked me through the entire process including when things would happen and the cost of everything. There were no hidden costs or surprises and no unreasonable delays and his workers were extremely conscientious about keeping all of the work areas clean and being gone by the time I got home. I had a decent amount of work done in my home, but I never felt inconvenienced. Lorena, Southwood
About the Owner, Paul McManus
I fell in love with remodeling in college. I was studying architecture at the University of Florida when I took a job as a house painter on the weekends to help pay for school. I realized I loved the hands on work as much as I enjoyed design and that put me on a path to become a remodeling contractor.
I wound up running my own painting company while in school and after school that evolved into a handyman service and would eventually become a remodeling contractor.
I attended various trade schools all over the country to gain experience and in 2006 got my residential contractors license.
In in 2015 I opened our kitchen and bath showroom and started specializing in kitchens and bathrooms with our current design+build approach.
The showroom and adjacent warehouse has been a game changer for us. It allows us to display unique products that were previously unavailable in Tallahassee and it has increased our ability to serve our customer significanlty.
On a personal note, I love to travel and have visited more than 38 countries, many of them during my time in the US Peace Corps in Zambia and also during a 4 year stint as an international bike tour guide.
