Design build bathroom remodel, anyone used someone good?

Our primary bath in Brier Creek is straight out of 1998. Brass fixtures, garden tub nobody uses, the works. I want someone who does the design and the build so I'm not playing middleman between a designer and a contractor.

Kitchen might be next year so bonus if they do both.

Designhouse Kitchen and Bath on Powell Dr. Did our kitchen and the designer caught a layout problem I never would have. (919) 948-3920

Another vote for Designhouse. We had them redo a hall bath and what stood out was the communication, weekly updates without me having to chase anyone. Portfolio is at https://www.designhousekb.com if you want to see if their style fits. They do kitchens too so you'd be set for next year.

This is helpful. @kitchenqueue how long did the whole thing take start to finish?

Design phase was the longest part honestly. Construction itself moved along once cabinets showed up. Plan for longer than you think.

Whoever you go with, make sure the permit is pulled if they're moving plumbing. Good design build firms handle that for you, just confirm it.

pull the permit
