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 likley heard or said these phrases. Most homeowners assume that comes with the territory… But those things are not normal…they are caused by weak design and planning.
Here’s how we remodel your home with no unexpected delays, no surprise costs and no post-project regrets.
Plan Your Project In One Place.
Build it With One Team.
The only place in Tallahassee where you can select everything for your project in one place, guided by experienced designers and then built by an expert team.
Remove Decision Overwhelm
A designer led process for considering every detail.
Save Time, Simplify Selections
Review everything in our showroom, no running all over town.
Streamlined Scheduling and Communication
A single point of contact for questions, ideas and follow up.
We Design and Plan Everything Before Construction Begins
Every design detail, every material selection, permit ready plans and a detailed project schedule. We order everything in advance and store it in our warehouse.
When everything is ready, we build your project.
The Result:
Confidence in your design. Calm during the build. A finished home that fits the way you live, not just one that looks good in photos.
From full home remodels to room specific makeovers…

Every Project in Our Gallery Started the Same Way
A homeowner who’d been thinking about their remodel for a while. Who wanted high value, long term solutions. Who didn’t want to gamble on the lowest bid or rush through decisions.
They were ready to invest in a guided process that would help them plan with confidence and get things right the first time.
They chose McManus Kitchen and Bath.
When You Work With Us You Can Count On:
⇒ A 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.
⇒ Daily Progress Reports
Morning, mid day, and end of day progress updates. So you always know who will be in your home, when, and what work is planned for that day.
⇒ 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.
Not All Contractors Are the Same
Traditional Remodeling Contractors vs Design-Build
In Tallahassee, most remodeling contractors still handle things the traditional way, with separate designers and multiple showrooms.
It can be a frustrating process with miscommunication and missed design details you might regret.
The McManus Difference
How we solve common remodeling problems
Instead of treating everything separately we have a team of experts working together with a dedicated showroom and clear process.
A simplified approach that reduces decision overwhelm and leads to a smooth running project that ends in a space you’ll love for years.
A home isn’t experienced as a photograph. It’s experienced in the morning routine, the weeknight dinner, the quiet hour after everyone’s asleep. Your home isn’t staged. It’s lived in. That’s what we design for.”
Paul McManus, Owner

A quick ballpark cost range
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.
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.
How To Get An Estimate
Our remodeling estimates are not guesses or a ‘good starting point’. They are based on real materials numbers and historic costs. They include a design consult in our showroom.
This is the right way to start: With a realistic budget and clear remodeling plan.
If you are struggling with an outdated kitchen or bathroom, schedule a call with the owner, Paul McManus, to discuss options and see if we can help.
