What should I consider before starting?
There are three key factors to keep in mind before starting a project:
Design – What do you want the space to look and feel like? Lifestyle, family size and room layout all play a role.
Timing – Kitchens typically take 4–6 weeks; bathrooms 3–5 weeks. Allow extra time for unforeseen conditions.
Budget – Project costs vary depending on size, scope and material selections.
How does the design process work?
We begin with a complimentary in-home consultation to discuss your needs, lifestyle, goals and budget. Site measurements and photos are taken. You will then receive an approximate budget for your project. Upon approval, you’ll sign an engagement letter and give a retainer to start the process.
Next you will make material selections and we’ll prepare initial drawings and pricing. Once drawings are reviewed and tweaked as necessary, we obtain labor costs and present a detailed proposal with floor plans, elevations, and final 3D color renderings.
Upon approval, a 50% deposit is required and materials are ordered. The remaining balance is due before delivery. Once all materials are delivered, installation begins and is managed by JD Home Design from start to finish.
What do I need for my initial consultation?
It’s helpful to have some inspiration photos from magazines or design sites like Houzz or Pinterest. They are a great starting point to narrow down the look and feel you’d like to achieve.
Can you work with my contractor or builder?
Yes. I often collaborate with clients’ existing contractors, or I can recommend trusted professionals from my network. My role is to ensure the design vision is executed properly and seamlessly.
Do you handle smaller projects or consultations?
Absolutely. Not every project requires a full remodel. I offer consultations, color guidance, and layout suggestions, as well as design support for single spaces or custom cabinetry.
Do you offer 3D renderings?
Yes. 3D color renderings and detailed drawings are a standard part of the design process. They allow you to see your space before construction begins, helping you feel confident about the final design.
What does it cost?
Consultations and drawings are typically billed hourly. For projects involving materials, you’ll receive them at designer cost. Pricing depends on the scope of work, which will be outlined clearly before the project begins.
What areas do you service?
I primarily work in Palm Beach, Martin & St. Lucie Counties. Depending on the project, I may be able to assist in other areas.
