Kitchen design-build
Layout studies, cabinetry specification, countertop templating, appliance integration, lighting circuits, backsplash, and final adjustment of hinges and drawer runners.
drhabermd Homes bundles design guidance, trade coordination, and finish supervision so you do not juggle separate contracts for every discipline. Each service line below can stand alone or combine into a phased master plan. We begin every engagement with a condition survey and a priority list: safety corrections first, comfort upgrades second, cosmetic refinements third. That order keeps spend focused where it matters.
Our scopes spell out who supplies materials, who pulls permits when required, and how change orders are priced before work proceeds. You will never hear vague allowances without quantities. Instead you receive line items you can compare across options—standard versus premium tile, plywood versus engineered subfloor recovery, and similar forks that affect both cost and longevity.
Layout studies, cabinetry specification, countertop templating, appliance integration, lighting circuits, backsplash, and final adjustment of hinges and drawer runners.
Waterproof shower assemblies, vanity and mirror placement, heated floor loops when requested, ventilation sizing, and accessible grab bar blocking even if not installed day one.
Trim replacement, wainscoting, stair refacing, custom shelving, and doorway widening with proper header support when openings grow.
Moisture testing, leveling compounds, acoustic underlay, expansion gaps, and stair nosing matched to field planks or tiles.
Crack repair, stain blocking, primer systems matched to substrate, and decorative techniques such as limewash or board-and-batten when desired.
Framing, insulation, egress planning, laundry relocation, and panel upgrades coordinated with licensed electricians.
Many clients layer smart lighting controls, whole-room audio prep, or workshop dust collection after primary construction. We rough-in pathways during wall openings so retrofits stay tidy. Outdoor-connected projects—mudroom transitions, covered entry repairs, and porch screening—are scoped with weather exposure in mind. We specify corrosion-resistant fasteners and breathable assemblies where seasonal humidity swings.
Aging-in-place consultations include lever handles, curbless shower planning, contrast strips on steps, and brighter task lighting without glare. These features integrate best during a broader remodel rather than as isolated patches that look aftermarket.
Written daily site notes during active construction with photos stored in your project folder.
Single invoice rhythm aligned to milestones, not surprise weekly micro-bills.
Final training on filters, humidistats, and any smart devices commissioned on handover day.
Seasonal check-in email reminding you of caulk inspection points and fan cleaning intervals.
Selections are grouped into good-better-best tiers with maintenance notes. We explain why a porcelain tile might outperform ceramic in a mudroom, or when engineered wood beats solid plank on radiant heat. Samples arrive labeled with SKU references tied to your quote so substitutions stay traceable. When a item goes discontinued, we propose equivalents before lead times stall the schedule.
Environmental preferences—low-VOC paint, water-saving fixtures, recycled content insulation—integrate when they meet performance needs. We do not upsell green products that fail in wet zones or high-traffic halls. Your designer documents final choices in a single ledger shared with trades to prevent mismatched orders.
Describe your rooms and constraints on our contact page. We will suggest a sensible sequence and point you to pricing tiers that match typical scopes.
