DESIGN / BUILD Design/Build is a powerful approach in remodeling and new home building. It comprises the joint in-house process of professionally designing with the client their perfect living space and the actual construction of that space. As a design/build firm, Marley weds the best of improvised architectural design for your ideas and quality crafting, materials and longevity in construction. Projects that are successful have at their foundation excellent plans that reflect your ideal renovation or addition and your budget. We are able to create plans from your ideas that dovetail into your budget perfectly. Having such creative and tight control over the plans enables us to build with superb standards and cost-effectiveness. Encompassing the luxury home addition or kitchen/bath remodel to modest budget-driven renovation, our design/build ability fits any need and dream. Overall, it is the most successful approach to the finished work you envision. Design/build eliminates many traditional risks an owner takes when remodeling their home. By combining the best of designing and building, we take the risks and challenges (such as price guarantee, trade contractors, suppliers and etc.) for our client. We provide cost control and seamless design-construction. This creates "custom-built living spaces.” Our own in-house design team and construction crew work side by side in all aspects of this process. Marley & Company generates ideas based on the homeowner's desires, lifestyle and budget. With your budget range in mind, our team of designers and construction managers work with you to create your project in full expression of your ideals—on time, on budget, and with a powerful warranty in place. Marley & Company also offers the convenience of selling products to the end user. This even makes the design/build process even more attractive. We effectively coordinate all aspects of the remodeling or addition to create a stress free and creative environment.
WHY CHOOSE MARLEY & COMPANY? Handling a remodel project without an experienced remodeling contractor will be complicated, time-consuming, and stressful. Relax. Marley & Company is committed to working hard so your remodel project is smooth, timely, of the highest quality and meets your every expectation. As an aside from us, your project should be fun. There are many reasons to contract with a company that offers both in-house design services and construction services under one roof. It distills down to being easier, more efficient, and less stressful. Marley & Company offers the design/build process with the additional creative asset of our showroom. We outline this philosophy in a few simple ways;
