A text away

Send it the moment you see it.

A change shouldn’t need a form. Text us a photo, a measurement or a doubt, and we draw it into your house and send it back. The same small team throughout.

How the work runs

One room at a time, carried to done.

Twelve rooms half-decided is how a remodel stalls. We take one, finish it and settle it, then the next. Between rounds, you text us what you see and we send back drawings. Your texts go to the small team that designs your house: the same small team throughout, from the first plan to the last tile.

  1. You text what you need.A photo, a measurement, a tile you saw at a friend’s.
  2. We draw it and send it back.A drawing, a rendering, three options with prices.
  3. You mark it up. We redraw.As many rounds as it takes, never billed hourly.
  4. It locks when it’s settled.Change your mind in March and we reopen it.
