We Listen First, Then Build
Remodeling is personal. That’s why our first step is always listening to you. We take the time to understand how you live in your home, what’s working, what isn’t, and how your dream space should feel—not just how it should look.
Whether you’re remodeling for a growing family, aging in place, or simply ready for a refresh, we prioritize:
- Your lifestyle and long-term needs
- Your timeline and family routines
- Your design preferences, comfort, and concerns
- Your budget boundaries—with no pressure or surprises
This foundation allows us to create remodels that truly reflect you.
-
A True Design-Build Remodeling System
Unlike companies that design or build, but not both, we manage everything under one roof. Our proven Design-Build System gives you a single, accountable team from concept to completion.
That means:
- Seamless communication between designers, estimators, and builders
- More innovative planning with fewer surprises
- Realistic budgeting from the start
- Consistent updates and transparency throughout your remodel
Our system ensures clarity, quality, and care for everything from kitchen renovations and bathroom updates to full-home remodeling and historic home restoration.
-
Thoughtful Design That Balances Beauty and Function
Our in-house design team, led by Sheila Lanier, specializes in timeless, customized design. We draw inspiration from your vision and elevate it with professional insight and creative solutions that address real-world problems.
Whether it’s opening up a galley kitchen, blending modern functionality into a historic home, or designing with universal accessibility in mind, we’ll create a space that is beautiful, practical, and truly personal.
You’ll be involved at every step, with:
- Renderings, drawings, and layout options
- Finish and fixture guidance
- Material selection support
- Realistic timelines and product lead time considerations
-
We Respect Your Home and Your Time
Remodeling can be disruptive, but it doesn’t have to be chaotic. We go above and beyond to respect your space, your schedule, and your peace of mind.
During construction, you’ll have:
- A dedicated project manager
- Daily jobsite cleanup
- Protective measures (dust barriers, floor protection, etc.)
- Regular updates and open communication
Many clients say we’re the most courteous, organized crew they’ve ever worked with—and we take that as a badge of honor.
-
We Specialize in Historic and High-Value Homes
If you own a historic home in neighborhoods like Willo, Encanto, or F.Q. Story, you know these homes require more than surface-level updates. They require knowledge of historic detailing, old-world craftsmanship, and building codes unique to preservation zones.
Homework Remodels is experienced in:
- Remodeling homes built in the 1920s–1970s
- Navigating city permitting and historic review boards
- Matching materials and architectural styles
- Integrating modern function without losing charm
We’ll help preserve what makes your home special while updating it for today’s living.

- A written warranty
- Close-out documentation
- Ongoing support if questions arise later
We don’t disappear when the job ends—because we’re committed to being your remodeling partner for years to come.
