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.
Fixed Project Pricing
We believe in transparency and reliability, which is why we offer fixed project pricing. You can trust that the price we quote is the price you’ll pay — no surprises, no hidden costs.
Exceptional Warranty
Our work is backed by a six-year workmanship warranty, far exceeding industry standards. We stand by the quality of our craftsmanship, ensuring your peace of mind long after the project is complete.
Clear Communication
Communication is key to a successful remodel. We keep you informed at every stage, ensuring you always know what’s happening with your project, from start to finish.
TRANSFORMING HOMES THROUGH THE YEARS
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.
Learning From The Best
John continued to hone his skills by working with two exceptional carpenters. During this time, he developed a deep understanding of the trades and a commitment to quality that would define his approach to remodeling.
Establishing JS Clark Builders, Inc.
With years of experience under his belt, John founded JS Clark Builders, Inc. This was the start of his journey as a business owner, focusing on delivering high-quality remodeling services to his clients.
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.
@designREMODEL
After closing the franchise, John established @designREMODEL as a hands-on kitchen and bath remodeling firm. Today, we continue to serve Cape Cod homeowners with the same dedication to quality and customer satisfaction that has defined our company from the beginning.
Meet John Clark
@designREMODEL is a full-service remodeling company owned and operated by John Clark, who is passionate about providing exceptional remodeling experiences for his clients.
Working with his hands has always come naturally to John Clark, the founder of @designREMODEL. He has worked in the remodeling trades since he was 12, when he started sweeping the shop floor for a local builder.
Over the years, he has spent countless hours learning the trades and developing a broad knowledge of the skills required to craft a better home for his clients. He is often the first user of new products such as PVC trim, composite decking, pre-finished flooring, and EZ Level systems for cabinets, to name a few. He is always on the lookout for new tools to help his team create better, more beautiful projects.
John enjoys sharing design ideas and new products with his clients to help them enhance and upgrade their projects.
Frequently, John can be found working on projects, helping to move them along, and troubleshooting the ever-present challenges of remodeling. 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.
John was one of the first remodelers on Cape Cod to earn the national professional designation “Certified Remodeler.” his work has been featured in the magazine Home Remodeling-Cape Cod & The Islands.
John, his wife Tara, and their daughter KatieBeth are long-time residents of beautiful and often sunny Cape Cod!

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!

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."

Sandwich, MA
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."

Mashpee, MA
What Our Clients Think
"We completely remodeled our Maushop Village condo, including a new kitchen, bathrooms, refinished floors, and full interior painting. 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."

What Our Clients Think
"Finding good contractors on Cape Cod is tough, but our experience with John from @designREMODEL was a refreshing change. From the start, his communication was excellent, keeping us informed and at ease throughout the renovation. Although they might not offer the lowest bid, the quality and care provided are worth every penny. John respected our budget, helped us save where possible, and maintained a meticulous schedule. Even with a few delays, he ensured our kitchen was functional and kept the process stress-free. His attention to detail, professionalism, and understanding of our style made the end result—a stunning kitchen—truly satisfying. We’re thrilled to have found a reliable contractor."
Tim & Alicia M.

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!"

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!"
Allyson R.
Interior Designer
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."
