OUR PROCESS

Personalized Service & Precise Planning

Our design process is a collaboration. We won’t show you floor plans or renderings until we meet with you and listen to you. We’ll help you shape your ideas and give you feedback, but for a home to be designed specifically for you, we have to start with a blank page.

That’s what good design is. It starts with understanding your vision and designing a home that precisely matches that vision. When that picture becomes clear, we finish the design with floor plans, product choices, materials, colors, and all the fun "extras" that make your home uniquely yours.

THE WARE DIFFERENCE

Design•Build Expertise & Proven Results

The Design • Build process is not only beneficial but critical in assuring that your finished home turns out exactly as you dreamed it and that the entire build process goes as smoothly as possible. We work closely with our subcontractors and with you to ensure the design we’ve envisioned together is brought to life. 

We have the expertise to make sure the job is estimated, planned, and scheduled properly. Throughout our decades of experience, we have developed long-lasting relationships with the area’s top contractors, tradespeople, and suppliers. Vendors are selected based on their workmanship and integrity, so you can have confidence that your project is always in the best of hands. 

When complete, you’ll have a home, unlike anything anyone has ever seen. Because it’s your vision. Your ideas. Your life.

Home addition and remodel

We have worked with Ware Design Build on 2 major projects. One was a home addition and the other was an extensive remodel. We are extremely satisfied with our experience on both occasions. The quality of work is excellent. We couldn’t be happier with the results and do not hesitate to recommend Ware Design Build.

Bathroom remodel

Thanks to you and your staff for your work on our bathroom remodel project. The project turned out beautifully – just as we had envisioned. The tile work in the shower and flooring was exceptional and really added a touch of class to the finished master bathroom. We couldn’t be happier with the result of all your hard work.

Rebuild after a fire

Sadly, my home was destroyed in a fire that was a total loss. The Ware Design Group understood and helped me to best re-create a new construction to mirror my 1920's bungalow. I needed a construction group that could work with my schedule, budget, and timely requests, this company did all that for me kindly, professionally, and made no false promises.

In March of 2015 we had a house fire and lost everything. Ware Design Build met with us, gathered our ideas and had a set of house plans designed exactly as we had envisioned. Our expectations were not only met, they were exceeded every step of the way.

Lower Level Remodel

In late 2012, we purchased a 1 year old existing home built by Ware Design Build. When we decided to finish our lower level, we immediately thought of Ware. Our lower living area is just what we envisioned – a media center, dining, large bar with granite, a game area, an exercise room, a bedroom with a walk-in closet and a full bath. We couldn’t be more thrilled.

A wonderful building experience

From the time that we decided to build with Ware Design Build we received amazing service, attention and lots of 1:1 time. It was a joy working with the entire Ware team and we would absolutely build with you again!
