Renovation Design in St. Augustine, FL
A successful renovation begins long before construction starts.
The best homes aren't always the ones with the most expensive finishes. They're the ones where every decision has been thoughtfully considered before the first wall comes down.
Every renovation begins by understanding how you live, identifying what's no longer working, and creating a plan that balances function, beauty, and the character of your home. From updated layouts and finish selections to construction documentation and final furnishings, every detail is designed to support one cohesive vision.
The result is more than a renovated space. It's a home that feels more functional, more connected, and more reflective of the people who live there.

Questions about renovation design
Absolutely. I'm happy to work with a contractor you've already selected, and I regularly collaborate with outside builders and trades.
That said, one of the benefits of working with Zen Reno & Design is access to a network of trusted contractors and skilled tradespeople I've built relationships with over the years. Because we've worked together before, there's already an established level of trust, communication, and shared expectations, which often leads to a smoother experience for everyone involved.
Whether you're working with someone you've chosen or someone I recommend, my role is to provide the design direction, documentation, and ongoing support needed to help ensure the finished home reflects the original vision.
Yes. Zen Reno & Design provides design coordination and implementation support throughout construction to help ensure the design is executed as intended.
I remain actively involved throughout the project to provide design coordination, answer contractor questions, review key installation details, and ensure the finished home reflects the approved design. While I don't serve as the general contractor or manage construction, I act as your design advocate, helping preserve the integrity of the design from concept to completion.
This ongoing support provides clarity throughout construction and gives both you and your contractor a trusted resource whenever design decisions need to be made.
Every project is unique, so each proposal is tailored to the scope, complexity, and level of support required.
Design services are typically structured with a flat creative fee for the design phase, followed by hourly project implementation services when ongoing support is requested. This approach provides flexibility while ensuring you receive the level of guidance your project needs.
Following your in home consultation, you'll receive a customized proposal outlining the recommended services, creative fee, estimated timeline, and what's included.
