Kate Handel Design

Dec 2022

My husband and I worked with Kate on our home remodel. We had no idea where to begin. She turned out 90's beige house into a beautiful modern farm home, with no more beige! Kate was amazing to work with. We showed her pictures of the designs/styles we liked and she took it from there. She created a 3D rendition and walk through of what the remodel would look like, which was amazing and we loved it so much that there were really no changes. Kate worked with the contractor closely with all the details. Really all we needed to do was to pick out colors, tiles, and other details, where Kate met with us at the various vendors to help us. She is a great project manager and of course brilliant designer. She is easy to work with and really understands what her clients want. Her attention to detail is meticulous, things like where electrical outlet locations (especially in the kitchen, love them all) and lighting. Just things I would never think of. If I am to go through another remodel or renovation, hands down would go with Kate again!

When I decided to remodel my master bath, I really had no idea what I was getting into. It was just good luck that I found Kate on Nextdoor, when I was looking for reviews of local contractors. She has made a complicated project painless, and has saved me a lot of time and untold stress.Kate brings an extraordinary skill set to her work. As a designer, she is simply amazing. She's also a great listener, and during the planning phase I was constantly surprised by how well she "got" me and understood what I was hoping to achieve. She has a great eye for using space, and came up with ideas for my new bathroom I didn't even imagine were possible.On the business side, Kate is a total pro. Very detailed emails with updates on every phase of the process. Super responsive, and proactive about managing possible problems. By the time we got to shopping for tile, cabinets, and fixtures, I knew I could rely on her to help me make smart choices, while keeping costs in mind. Her contacts are knowledgeable and friendly; I learned a lot on these shopping trips!On the search for a local contractor I mentioned at the beginning, Kate facilitated that too. She prepared me well for the process of getting the contract, billing, permits, etc. Working with Kate is a pleasure.Highly recommend Kate!
