We Believe in the
Power of Design
At its core, design doesn’t simply look nice—it fundamentally shifts the way a space feels. In our world, beautifully orchestrated home renovation is a vehicle for not only creating value but igniting the imagination of everyone who walks through the door.
Transformations
Our transformation projects will get you the best price for your home. We consider options to optimize the floor plan and focus on kitchen and bath renovations to create a truly desirable home. Though these projects may take more time, they aren’t on the market for long and have been known to set records for selling prices.
Enhancements
Our enhancements focus on the updates that are going to provide you the best return on investment. These upgrades typically include flooring, painting, countertops, lighting and staging. We complete these projects quickly and efficiently, which often results in a return that is two times your renovation investment.
Staging
Vacant homes can feel void of personality making it harder for a buyer to imagine themselves living there. Our designers stage spaces with creative touches that spark inspiration. We harness the power of design to curate an welcoming environment. Insider’s tip: It also gives a buyer and their agent a place to sit and consider writing an offer.
We’re Proud of All
Projects Big and Small

From to-the-studs projects to finishing details,
design makes a difference.
Neighborhood: El Cerrito
Project Timeline: 16 Weeks
Value Increase: +$214,000
When we first laid eyes on this mid-century beauty, it truly was like stepping back in time. The floorplan and every finish in the home was outdated just screaming for a renovation. By completely reimagining the floorpan and opening the kitchen into the dining space we created a beautiful and utilitarian space to appeal to today’s buyer. We played with paint colors, modern fixtures, updated finishes, and contemporary lighting to modernize this home all while maintaining the integrity of its unique design.
Neighborhood: Kensington
Project Timeline: 8 Weeks
Value Increase: +$377,500
Sometimes there are homes and scenarios that require us to take a more conservative approach with our presale preparations. In the case of 138 Lawson, we wanted to renovate so much more than we were able, but the things we did do, added incredible value. By removing the dated and stained carpeting, refinishing the floors, painting the home inside and out, changing out a few light fixtures and staging appropriately, we took this home from funky to fab! And the owner reaped a staggering return on investment.
Neighborhood: Berkeley
Project Timeline: 8 Months
Value Increase: +$605,000
For this complete transformation, we started with foundation work and floor plan modifications, including an all-new chef’s kitchen with high-end finishes. Fresh paint and refurbished floors throughout helped highlight original features like arched doorways, vintage accents, and a grand living room with open-beam ceiling and expansive bay views. Remodeled bathrooms, updated lighting, and thoughtful landscaping round out the comprehensive redesign.
