Professional Project Managers
I’m Paul McManus, owner of McManus Kitchen & Bath. I’ve been a licensed contractor here in Tallahassee for 20 years and specializing in kitchens and bathrooms for more than a decade.
We’ve built our company around a different model than most remodeling contractors… with an in-house design team, a dedicated showroom, and a structured process that plans every detail before construction begins.
Because a remodel is not just built on a jobsite. It is built with careful design and planning. If that plan is not certain before demo day the project isn’t really a project, it’s gamble with your home.
The Remodel Roadmap
Five steps between where your home is now and where you want it to be.
1. The Discovery Call
A 15 minute call with the owner, Paul McManus, to better understand your project needs and goals so we can decide together if we are the right choice for your remodel.
2. Estimate and Project Plan
Our estimate process includes 3D concept drawings, a project timeline, detailed scope of work and ‘good-better-best’ material options.
3. Design Process
Meet in our showroom to finalize your design and material selections. Our designers will use 3D renderings and real material samples to help you visualize the project.
4. Preconstruction planning
We order everything, inspect it and store in our warehouse until needed. You project manager creates a detailed project schedule and gets your permits approved.
5. The Build
Once everything is in place we execute the plan. Your project manager is on site every day for quality control, job site organization and to make sure you always know what to expect.

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."
