Create Your Remodel Roadmap
“Your remodel isn’t really about the remodel. It’s about improving how you live in that space. The renovation is just the entry point to a better way of living at home. “
Paul McManus, Owner
“Backordered”, “Not included”, “I wish we would have…”
If you’ve remodeled before, you’ve probably heard or said one of these. They might feel like a normal part of the process. They are not.
They are what happens when design and construction are handled by two different companies, with nobody owning the whole process.
We Do Things Differently
We are the only licensed contractor in Tallahassee with an in-house design team and full service showroom.
-
- Certified designers and full service showroom
-
- Fixed price contracts and a 5 year warranty
-
- We haven’t missed a start date in 10 years
-
- During construction your project manager is on site every day.
We’re focused on design and materials selections that provide long term value so you can remodel once, and enjoy it forever.

Plan Your Remodel Without $15,000 in Material Mistakes
If your contractor says he can start your project next month he is doing you a disservice and you are heading down a road that can lead to cost overruns and post project regret.
You simply can’t get quality cabinets that quickly. And they are rushing the most important part of any project: planning and design. If you want your remodel to last for decades it pays to start with a thoughful design process.
The Meeting Where You Stop Guessing and Start Planning
Our design and budget consult is not just an estimate. It’s a complete planning process where you get 3D concept drawings, a remodel road map and good-better-best budget for your project.
A real investment range in front of you, set a direction for how it will look, and walk the process phase by phase. You leave with a plan you can act on.
Two Ways To Remodel
Here’s what’s included when you work with us, and what to ask other remodeling contractors before you commit.
| A Typical Remodel | A McManus Remodel | |
|---|---|---|
| Design | Often outsourced or not included | Certified designers on staff, included in every project |
| Material selection | You source it yourself from big box stores and websites | Curated in our showroom with product experts |
| Materials ordering | Ordered during construction, delays happen | Everything ordered and received before construction begins |
| Pricing | Estimates that grow through change orders | A fixed price contract before work starts |
| Start date | “We’ll call you when we’re ready” | Guaranteed in writing. We haven’t missed one in 11 years |
| Project management | A crew shows up, the contractor checks in occasionally | Your project manager is on site every day |
| Jobsite care | Varies | Daily air quality testing and daily quality control |
| After the project | The final check is the last you hear from them | 5 year warranty with 6 and 12 month tune up visits |
When to Choose Us
We spend more time in design, material selection and planning than most. The payoff is a personalized remodel that lasts a lifetime. We are a great choice if you want:
A Designer-Led Experience
Whether we are collaborating with an architect or designing everthing in house we guide you through every decision.
A Dedicated Showroom
All your material options curated and organized. You don’t have to wonder if something is good quality or the right fit, we will make sure it is.
Professional Project Management
Design and production are coordinated from the start. Your project manager is on-site every day.
We Are Not A Good Fit For Small Projects
If you are looking for a quick fix or partial remodel we are not a good choice. We also do not work on investment properties or flips. We are happy to make recommendations if you need that type of service.
A home isn’t experienced as a photograph, your home isn’t staged. It’s lived in. That’s what we want to design for… not trends, but how you actually live.”
Paul McManus, Owner

A Home That Still Fits You in Ten Years
There’s a quiet moment that comes 6 months to a year after a remodel, when you’re using the space every day and it simply works.
No second-guessing, no “I wish we had.” It just feels perfect. Designing for that moment is the whole point, and it’s why we plan so carefully up front.

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 the way it should.

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 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.
Do all remodeling contractors provide design services?
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.
What projects are not a good fit?
Small repair projects, price-driven remodels, or projects where decisions will be made during construction.
Why is pre-construction planning important in a remodel?
Pre-construction planning reduces delays, surprise costs, change orders, and decision fatigue once construction begins.
