We Resolve Design & Remodeling Problems
Before They Happen
Missed design details, surprise costs, schedule frustrations… these things aren’t caused during construction… They are caused by a lack of planning before it starts.
These could be decisions you might not even know are important… But your contractor or designer should.
Our focus is simple:
Design and plan everything before constructon begins.
The Result: Confidence in your design, a job that runs on schedule, and a finished project that lives up to what you imagined.
From Full Home Remodels to Room Specific Makeovers…

Traditional Remodeling Vs Design-Build
In Tallahassee, most kitchen and bath remodels are still handled the traditional way… separate designers, multiple showrooms and a lot of decisions left until after construction starts.
Often this creates erratic schedules, surprise costs and missed design details.
We’ve got a better way.
One Team.
One Streamlined Process

Here’s How It Works:

Speak to the owner, Paul McManus
When I do a 6 month follow up visit with our clients, the word I like to hear most isn’t “beautiful”… it’s “easy.”
Their daily routines are easier, clutter is gone, and the space works for them way it should.
Paul McManus, Owner
Here’s What Working With Us Looks Like:
⇒ A Turnkey Design-Build Process
You won’t need to juggle separate designers and contractors or coordinate materials from multiple showrooms. We plan every detail and then build to plan.
⇒ Guaranteed Start Date
We haven’t missed a start date in 11 years.
⇒ Daily Air Quality Testing
One of the things your project manager does every day is make sure your home is clean and organized. One of the tools he uses is a PM 2.5 air quality meter.
⇒ A ‘Zero Punchlist’ Approach
Daily quality control. Any issues are resolved within 5 working days. So when your project is complete, it is actually complete.
⇒ Daily Progress Reports
Morning, mid day, and end of day progress updates sent via email so you always know who will be in your home, when, and what work is planned for that day.
Remodel Without Regret
There’s a moment many homeowners hit one to two years after a remodel.
They’re standing in the kitchen or the bathroom and they think: “I wish we had done that differently”.
We work hard to make sure that moment never comes.

Frequently Asked Questions
How Long Does It Take To Get An Estimate?
About a week, depending on your schedule. We start with a home visit to get detailed measurements and discuss options.
Then a we schedule a meeting in our showroom about a week later to review 3D concept drawings and your ‘good-better-best’ budget.
When Can the Project Start?
The design process can start as soon as you approve your estimate.
It takes 4-6 weeks to finalize all the project details and create your fixed price proposal.
We are typically scheduling new projects 4 – 6 months out.

No. In fact most provide no design assistance at all. Others outsource design or limit it to basic layouts.
McManus Kitchen and Bath includes professional design as part of the remodeling process.
What types of projects are the best fit for McManus Kitchen and Bath?
Upscale kitchen remodels, bathroom remodels, and whole-home renovations where layout, function, and long-term livability matter.

Small repair projects, price-driven remodels, or projects where decisions will be made during construction.
Why is pre-construction planning important in a remodel?
