The way we work brings clarity, calm, and craftsmanship—from first conversation to final walkthrough.
Your project is led by a Design Remodel Specialist (DRS)—a single point of accountability who guides the entire process from concept to completion. There are no handoffs or confusion, just expert planning, clear communication, and craftsmanship that lasts.
It’s an approach that’s earned us a long track record of 5-star reviews on Google and Yelp.
✅ We start by listening. Your goals, your lifestyle, your vision—it all matters.

✅ Our pricing is fixed. No guesswork. No surprises.
✅ You’ll always know what’s happening—start to finish.
✅ We handle everything: permits, schedules, punch lists.

✅ Our six-year workmanship warranty exceeds industry standards.

Bottom line?
A Design Remodel Specialist replaces the need for a traditional general contractor and a separate designer, delivering both creative direction and accountable leadership from day one to completion.
That’s why so many Cape Cod homeowners have left us 5-star reviews on Google and Yelp—and why they trust us with their homes, even when they’re miles away.
Not on Cape? We’ll keep you informed, involved, and confident from start to finish.
While many of our clients are year-round Cape Cod residents, just as many are second homeowners who can’t always be on-site during a remodel. Handing over your home from afar can feel like a leap of faith—but it doesn’t have to. Many of our clients leave us the keys and trust us to manage every detail while they’re away.
Here’s how we make that trust easy—and why so many second homeowners choose to work with us:
✅ Trusted trade partners. We only work with licensed pros who take real pride in their craft.
✅ No surprises. Detailed contracts. Clear pricing. Regular updates. Just like we outline in How We Work.
✅ Permits to punch list. We handle inspections, scheduling, and closeouts so nothing slips through the cracks.
✅ Zero-stress oversight. We’ve cared for homes for months, often with minimal client visits.
✅ Verified trust. Want references? We’re happy to connect you with past clients who’ve done it remotely.
✅ Licensed & bonded. Our sister business, @homeWATCH, is licensed by the Massachusetts State Police and fully bonded—for extra peace of mind.
Every project is led by a Design Remodel Specialist (DRS), who is your single point of contact, advocate, and person responsible for everything from vision to final walkthrough.
💡 Takeaway: This is where design meets accountability. Your DRS brings clarity, confidence, and craftsmanship to the entire process.
Remodeling is personal. Meet the remodeler behind the tools
Hello. I’m John Clark, owner of At Design Remodel and the Design Remodel Specialist who leads every project we take on.
I oversee a talented crew of Cape Cod craftsmen who take real pride in what we create.
Unlike many contractors, I put myself front and center because I don’t believe in hiding behind a logo or a faceless website.
You deserve to know who you trust your home to—and where they live.
I’m a washashore living in Mashpee with my wife Tara and our gamer-girl daughter, KatieBeth. I’ve been building with my hands and mind since I was 12. That same drive fuels every project we take on.
Homeowners often ask, “Who’s actually in charge of the job?” With us, there’s no guessing. Every remodel is led by a Design Remodel Specialist (DRS)—someone with deep field experience, design fluency, and the leadership to steer the entire project from start to finish. That’s me—or someone I’ve personally trained and trust to uphold the same standards.
You can catch glimpses of our Cape Wanderings in our monthly newsletter—along with tips, stories, and the occasional mishap caused by our lovable goofball of a dog, Joie.
A Recent 5-Star Review
John and his team recently remodeled our kitchen and dining room area in West Dennis. John was so helpful with how best to use the space, as we knocked down walls , added windows, and moved everything around! From start to finish, during a pandemic, John was very honest and knowledgeable about the timeline and the budget. There were a few unexpected challenges along the way, but when presented with the challenge , John also presented the solution. John's precision and calm manner kept everything moving forward. The result- a beautiful new living space for our large family to enjoy!
