HIGHLY EXPERIENCED
A single team for design + construction, from first ideas to final walkthrough.
If you want a remodel that feels organized instead of chaotic, a design build firm is the smartest place to start. With the design-build model, the design team and construction team work together under one roof, so your project stays aligned on scope, budget, and expectations from day one.
At Lakeside Home Improvement, we guide you through the entire process, from early planning and design through construction and completion. Our goal is simple: make the experience smooth, the communication clear, and the finished space something you are proud to live in.
What It Means to Hire a Design Build Firm
A design-build firm integrates design and construction into one coordinated process.
That means:
- You are not juggling a designer, a contractor, and a string of trades that may not be on the same page.
- Your designer can collaborate directly with the people responsible for scheduling, building, and problem-solving, so the plan stays buildable and realistic.
- Budget decisions happen during design, not after the drawings are done and the surprises show up.
This is why Lakeside’s process puts so much weight on planning, budgeting, and communication before and during construction.

Budgeting & Planning
Great remodels do not start with demolition. They start with a plan.
Lakeside’s approach is built around budgeting early, aligning the design with real-world constraints, and giving you a clear view of what you are investing in. We use collaborative planning and modern design tools like renderings and blueprints so you can make confident decisions before construction begins.

Communication is Key
Remodeling has a lot of moving parts. Your peace of mind comes from knowing what is happening, what is next, and what we need from you at each stage.
Lakeside prioritizes clear, consistent communication throughout the design and construction process so you are not left guessing.
