About @designREMODEL

Transforming Cape Cod Homes with Quality, Care, and Expertise

Who We Are

@designREMODEL is a full-service remodeling company dedicated to bringing the highest quality of work and experience to our clients on Cape Cod. With a passion for craftsmanship and a commitment to excellence, we take pride in delivering personalized design-build solutions on time and on budget while exceeding our clients' expectations. Our team is driven by a relentless pursuit of doing remodeling right, ensuring every project reflects our high standards of quality, clear communication, timeliness, and customer satisfaction.

By focusing as much on the client relationship as we do on the actual remodel, we are able to create lasting relationships with our clients and provide a refreshing home improvement experience. We have lost track of how many clients for whom we have been fortunate enough to complete multiple projects.

The first step in creating that experience is the initial consultation we have with a homeowner. We like to ask a lot of questions to find out what is important to you. While it’s necessary to learn about what you’re looking for and what ideas you have, gaining an understanding of why those things are important to you helps us contribute to the vision you have for your project.

When we are able to collaborate on your project design and concept, we have better alignment with you as the homeowner and are able to deliver a higher quality experience.

Early Beginnings

John Clark, founder of @designREMODEL, started his journey in the remodeling trades at a young age, working for a local builder. These early years were spent mastering the fundamentals of craftsmanship and building a foundation for his future career.

Expanding with DreamMaker Bath & Kitchen

In an effort to expand his offerings, John purchased a DreamMaker Bath & Kitchen franchise. However, due to the economic downturn during the Great Recession, the franchise was closed.

Away from the project site, he is usually in front of his computer, improving the systems required to build a better project or writing blogs about the business of remodeling.

Cape Cod Home Remodeling FAQ

How Long Does It Take to Remodel a Kitchen or Bath on Cape Cod?expand_more

The length of time it will take to remodel a Cape Cod bath or kitchen depends upon several factors:

  • Size of project. Is it a minor upgrade or a full scale make over?

  • Age of home. Typically older homes will take more time to remodel due to outdated plumbing and electrical. Structural issues maybe a factor.

  • If the house was built before 1978 we are required to assume lead paint is present and we need to take a different approach than with houses built after 1978. The EPA issues fines of $37,000 per day to those who ignore the requirements of the law.

  • Does the space involve custom materials and on site construction?

  • Are there outside limitations? ie. Homeowners association does not allow work during certain time periods.

For clients of @designREMODEL, this is what you can expect:

  • Standard bathroom make over: Ten to fifteen working days.

  • Complete bathroom remodel with custom work: Twenty to sixty working days.

  • Kitchen update: Ten to twenty working days.

  • Standard kitchen update: Twenty to thirty working days.

  • Complete make over with custom work: Thirty to ninety working days.

Each project has its own requirements and quirks and we have to adjust the schedule at times. Typically we do not start any project until we have all of the components checked and ready to go whenever possible.

How Much Does It Cost to Remodel a Kitchen or Bath on Cape Cod?expand_more

We frequently get inquiries about the cost of remodeling projects here on Cape Cod.

Given that every house, project, and homeowner is different, it can be challenging to provide a specific number without going through the process of looking at every aspect of a project which is time-consuming.

Design, selecting products and fixtures, calling suppliers and trade partners. Which can, on average take about 8-12 hours on a small bath remodel, for example!

In many ways, the costs of remodeling have followed a similar trajectory to the cost of purchasing a new car or truck. Costs have escalated as manufacturers add new features, use new materials and add higher labor costs, research and development, and regulatory compliance. It all adds up.

We crafted a comprehensive Remodeling Cost Guide to help Cape Cod homeowners create a better budget for their kitchen remodel. You can access that for free here!

Elegant bathroom with dark flooring and modern fixtures in a Cape Cod home remodeled by @designREMODEL

What Our Clients Think

"After 17 years of living with plain white bathrooms, I decided to redo both and found @designREMODEL online. From my first meeting with John, I knew his firm was the right choice. He was detail-oriented and made the process smooth. John and his team were open to changes, and the project grew to include not just two bathrooms, but also a laundry area, new wood floors in the master bedroom, and replacing all interior doors. Despite living in the house during the three-month renovation, they kept the place clean and handled issues professionally. The results are stunning, and I’ve already hired them for another project."

Bright living room with white sofas and light wood flooring in a Cape Cod home remodeled by @designREMODEL (1)

What Our Clients Think

"We recently purchased a condo in New Seabury that needed significant updates. We hired John Clark to manage the renovation of two bathrooms, update the kitchen, paint every room, and complete various other projects. Despite living 90 minutes away, John exceeded our expectations, providing great advice, staying within budget, and completing the work within the promised six-week timeframe. He kept us updated weekly, and even when an unexpected plumbing issue delayed the project by a week, he handled it professionally. Our neighbors were impressed with how tidy the site was each day. We’re thrilled with the results and highly recommend John for anyone in the greater Mashpee area."

John from @designREMODEL made the process stress-free, especially since it’s our second home, and we couldn’t be onsite regularly. John kept us updated weekly with photos, and when unexpected issues arose, he explained them clearly and handled everything smoothly. His attention to detail was exceptional, even catching things we missed. John’s commitment to quality and his proactive approach confirmed we made the right choice in hiring him."

Spacious Cape Cod kitchen with skylights, an island, and modern cabinetry, remodeled by @designREMODEL

What Our Clients Think

"I found John Clark of @designREMODEL online in 2019 before starting a major kitchen remodel. After meeting a few contractors, I knew John was the right choice. He was prompt, organized, and truly listened to what I wanted. Together, we designed my dream kitchen within budget, and he provided detailed plans before I even signed the contract. Since the project was completed while we were away, John kept in constant touch with updates and photos. When we returned, everything was exactly as envisioned. John’s work is beautiful, with great attention to detail. I highly recommend him for any renovation needs on the Cape!"

Charming bathroom with a clawfoot tub and skylight in a Cape Cod home remodeled by @designREMODE

What Our Clients Think

"As an interior designer, I've had my share of contractor nightmares, but working with John and his team was a pleasure. Their attention to detail is outstanding, especially the tile work. John is trustworthy, fair, and incredibly communicative, always getting straight to the point. Even when issues arise, he works hard to fix them and finish on time—something rare in this industry. Despite dealing with a serious illness during the renovation, John's work was a bright spot. I've already recommended him to neighbors and will definitely work with him again. His impeccable work truly impressed this picky perfectionist!"

What Our Clients Think

"John renovated three bathrooms for us from the ground up through the final cleaning.  His expertise and quality work were only matched by his constant communication throughout the process.

His longtime subcontractors are first rate. If your lucky, he’ll be available for your project. If not, you would be well served to wait until he is."
