Our Team
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.
Raised in the Tampa Bay area, I was introduced to the life of hard work at a young age. When I say “young”, I mean very young. I had what felt like a full time job passing out menus for our family restaurant at the age of 12. In those early I learned the benefits of hard work and building relationships with the people around you.
I attended a Seminary College in Louisiana where I met my wife. We moved to Tallahassee and, after buying a home and having 3 awesome kids here, you could say we have made roots in Tallahassee
As Project Manager at McManus Kitchen and Bath I have the opportunity to combine 2 things that I am passionate about: people and craftsmanship.
Allee was raised in a suburb north of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and is a recent graduate of Florida State University’s department of Interior Architecture and Design. After graduation she spent 3 months traveling Europe admiring the architecture and design culture. Allee has recently moved back to Tallahassee to start her career in the kitchen and bath design business. Her passion lies in the power of a home and the positive feelings and memories it offers.
Kristi was raised in Peachtree City, GA. She is a graduate of Florida State University’s College of Business with a degree in Management and Marketing. As an outdoor enthusiast, Kristi is extremely down to earth and pleasant to work with. With 12 years in the customer service industry, she has a unique ability to relate to our clients. Helping people create a space that brings them happiness every time they walk through the door is her main objective.
Caitlyn started out working in a home improvement store while going to Florida State University to earn a degree in applied math and computer programming. After specializing in appliances, cabinets, and flooring, she began to apprentice under the store’s kitchen and bath specialist. This quickly turned into a passion as the individual pieces began to join together to create the whole picture. Caitlyn joined McManus Kitchen and Bath in November of 2017.
Our Work
We specialize in kitchen and bathroom remodeling. We also do additions and whole home remodels and provide stand alone Interior Design services.
Custom Remodels
About 50% of our work consists of major renovations where the goal is to create a truly custom space that is tailored to your needs and your style. Often that means moving walls and plumbing etc… and requires a good bit of design work and engineering.
Pull and Replace Remodels
Another 30% or so of our work is made up what we call ‘pull and replace’ remodels. This is where the layout of the kitchen or bathroom remains the same but the cabinets, counters and flooring etc… are updated. Less design work is required and we have special budget friendly packages for this type of project.
Small Projects Program
The last 20% is made up of smaller projects like tub to shower conversions or kitchen cabinet refacing, especially when the client wants a high level of service and well managed job site.
New! – MKB Bath Express
A typical hall bathroom remodel can take 3 or 4 weeks and cost $25,000 or more. Our Express program can update a bath in a week and for almost half the cost.
Company History:
The MKB origin story starts in the early 90’s when the owner, Paul McManus, was at the University of Florida studying Architecture. To help pay for school he went to work for a painting contractor in the summer. By the end of the summer he was a foreman for the company and the next summer he started his own painting company, PJM Student Painting.
After graduating UF in 1996 he moved to Tallahassee and continued to run the painting company, which evolved into a handyman business and eventually a remodeling company. Paul got his residential contractors license in 2006.
In 2015, after 4 years of travelling the world as a bicycle tour guide, Paul returned home, opened the McManus Kitchen and Bath showroom and started to offer true design build remodeling services. The company currently has 2 full time designers and two full time project managers. Paul acts as production manager, does all the estimating and manages the showroom.
The Future of McManus Kitchen and Bath
We’re focused on continuing to grow and improve to serve our clients better.
In 2019 we are increasing the size of our production team and developing training programs for our subcontractors to learn about new materials and installation methods.
In 2020 we added a Certified Interior Designer to our staff to bring even more design expertise to the team.
In 2021 we plan to build a new showroom from the ground up. An expanded showroom floor and additonal offices and storage space for our trade partners.
In the mean time we will continue to invest in the training and development of our staff and provide the best remodeling experience possible to every homeowner we work with.
