Most homeowners who’ve tried coordinating their own remodel experience the same thing: constant phone calls, conflicting timelines, and a sense that nobody is fully in charge.

We founded Integrity Design + Build in 2006 to solve that problem.
As a true full-service design-build firm, we bring architectural design, interior selections, permits, construction, and project management under one roof.

You get one point of contact, one contract, and a team that stays accountable from the first consultation through the final walkthrough.

– Philip Smith

We extensively refinished and remodeled a house with Integrity.[…] The crew at Integrity thought things through, offered us multiple options, and came up with some ingenious solutions to several issues. The communication along the way was clear, the work progressed as planned, and the finished work looked great and has held up very well (the work is now 2 years old).

We were very happy with Integrity, and would use them again.

Designed for Busy Homeowners

Most of our clients want a team that communicates clearly, manages every detail, and delivers what was agreed. Our process is built around that.

24/7 Project Transparency

Your personalized online portal gives you access to your financial running total, the build schedule, daily photo logs, and a simple way to approve selections.

Built With Durability In Mind

Cheap, short-lived materials have no place in our projects. Our goal is a space that still performs and looks exactly as intended decades from now.

Our Design-Build Process in 4 Phases

Every project follows a process designed to keep you informed, on budget, and on schedule.

1

2

3

4

Phase 1

Preliminary Planning and Design

Get a free estimate so you understand what you’re working with before committing to anything.

To move forward, pay a development fee (roughly 1%-3% of the projected budget), and our team meticulously documents your home, checks zoning and HOA restrictions, and creates up to three preliminary design concepts with 3D renderings.

You can see your space clearly before a single material is ordered.

Phase 2

Detailed Planning and Contract

After we refine the design into executable construction drawings, we bring every trade partner to your home for an on-site review to finalize exact cost estimates.

You receive a fixed-price Construction Contract that locks in a highly detailed scope of work, start and completion dates, material allowances, and a clear payment schedule.

You know exactly what you’re getting and what you’re paying.

Phase 3

Pre-Construction

While we handle building permits and HOA approvals, our office manager will help finalize your product selections: tile, solid wood cabinetry, hardware, paint colors, and every finish in between.

Then, we conduct a pre-construction walkthrough at your home. We establish logistics together, designate parking areas and dumpster placement, and set up zip-wall dust barriers to protect the rest of your home.

Phase 4

Construction to Delivery

During construction, get 24/7 access to a personalized, secure online portal with your project’s running financial total, build schedule, and daily photo logs.

At 95% completion, we walk the space together and create a final completion list.

Finally, we close out with a review of your warranties: 15 years on structural components, 3 years on finishes, and 2 years on workmanship.

FAQs About Design-Build Remodeling

How is design-build different from hiring a general contractor?

A general contractor builds from plans created by someone else. When those plans don’t align with the budget or site conditions, it falls to the homeowner to bear the cost of the disconnect. With a design-build firm, we create the plans and execute them, so there’s one team accountable for both.

How much does a project with Integrity Design + Build cost?

Every project is different, and we provide a budget range estimate in Phase 1 before you commit to anything. Our development fee starts at $500 and covers everything needed to give you accurate, detailed pricing. We’d rather have an honest budget conversation up front than catch you off guard later.

How long does a typical project take?

It depends heavily on the scope. A cosmetic bathroom update usually takes 1-2 weeks of active construction, while a full home renovation can take up to 12 months. Your contract will include a specific start date, a completion date, and a build schedule.

Do you offer a free consultation?

Yes, the initial consultation and budget estimate are free. If you want to move forward into the detailed design phase, we charge a development fee (around 1% to 3% of your projected budget). That fee covers everything we need to give you accurate, detailed pricing and a clear picture of your finished space before the construction contract is signed.

Do I need to know exactly what I want before calling you?

Not at all. We’ve helped hundreds of homeowners who knew their space needed a change but couldn’t visualize the solution. We help you explore options and give you a free estimate before anything else happens.

What does your warranty cover?

We provide 15 years on structural components, 3 years on finishes, and 2 years on workmanship. But the warranty document is the floor, not the ceiling. Owner John’s personal commitment is simple: if something isn’t right, we fix it, regardless of timeline.

We used Integrity for a custom family room/sun room addition as well as several remodeling projects in our home.

We constantly get compliments from family and guests on the quality of the work.

I really appreciated how the team listened to my hopes for the projects and our budget to find solutions that met both.

The project managers were excellent in communication and professionalism.
