Fully Planned, Fully Managed Remodels
McManus Kitchen and Bath is a Tallahassee based design-build remodeling company specializing in kitchens, bathrooms, and whole-home renovations. We take care of everything from design through construction.
How Do We Differ From Other Contractors ?
Unlike most contractors who primarily focus on construction, McManus Kitchen and Bath integrates professional design and material selection into the remodeling process.
Design decisions, material selections, and planning are completed before construction begins, allowing for better coordination, clearer expectations, and fewer surprises during the build.
Who is McManus Kitchen and Bath Best Suited For ?
Homeowners planning larger kitchen, bath, or whole-home remodels who want clarity before construction starts. People who value planning, communication, and long-term results over speed or lowest price.
We are not the best fit for small repair work, surface-level updates, or projects that do not require full design and pre-construction planning.

THE Mcmanus Kitchen & Bath Team
Estimate and Design: Paul, Aidy & Stephanie
Our estimate and design staff have a gift for spotting the small frustrations that homeowners have learned to live with—the cabinet door that always gets in the way, the counter space that’s never quite where you need it.
Paul McManus
President
Paul studied architecture at the University of Florida. One of the key takeaways from that study was how the design of a space could change the way you feel, and even the way you live.
"This business and our clients are very important to me but I also enjoy travel and have visited more than 38 countries across the globe, many of them more than once. Travel has helped shaped my worldview and my design aesthetic."
Stephanie
Designer
Stephanie is originally from New Jersey and is a graduate of NJIT with a B.A. in Interior Design. After graduating in 2018, she worked at design/architecture firms in the tri-state area. She recently moved to Tallahassee in order to join the McManus team. She loves helping people create beautiful, comfortable and functional spaces where memories can be made.
Aidy
Designer
Aidy Finnola has been practicing interior design for over a decade. After getting her BAEd from the University of Michigan, she completed an AAS + Professional Certificate from Scottsdale Community College in Scottsdale, AZ. Several years after getting her design degree, she was invited to return to Scottsdale Community College as an instructor. Prior to coming to McManus Kitchen and Bath, she was the principal designer and owner of Neostrada Design in Phoenix, AZ. She has won four state-level ASID awards for her work and had her work featured on the front cover of ASID Desert Design magazine.
