JM Design Build, a general contractor in Cleveland, OH, has long been known for its elite design team, consisting of some of the best residential designers and renovation contractors in Cleveland. However, there comes a time when, despite a rich history and great reputation, businesses need to re-invent themselves. Or, at the very least, find ways to stand out from the crowd.

We've all seen it happen: companies that at one time were at the forefront of their industry become outdated and irrelevant. Businesses and economic climates change, consumers demand more, and markets become hyper-competitive. The challenge, then, becomes finding new ways to adapt and innovate. Doing so correctly can differentiate a brand from its competitors and, ultimately, help nurture a strong identity. 

These fundamental principles apply to every industry, market, and business sector across the board. And JM Design Build is no different. Realizing this truth, we recently decided to further our reputation as a premier design and build company by investing in a group of young, extremely talented interior designers to take our design services to the next level. This acquisition, among other things, helps separate us from the crowd yet again and effectively establishes us an innovator in our industry. 

Not only are 3D designs aesthetically pleasing, but they also allow homeowners to visualize their investment. Moreover, as your remodeling project progresses, updates can be made in real time based on your material selections so that you can actually see your project come to life.

Beginning today, JM Design Build is offering a full menu of new services--3D designs being one of them. As well, customers can now choose one of our interior designers to personally help make their selections. This not only saves time and energy, but can also help ensure your new kitchen, bathroom, basement, or addition complies with your individual tastes, style and budget.

JM Design Build, a distinguished General Contractor in Cleveland, OH helps one Broadview Hts homeowner update her outdated bathroom with a modern, financially savvy bathroom remodel investment. 

WHY YOU DESERVE A NEW BATHROOM
Every homeowner deserves an exceptional bathroom. Why, you ask? Because the average American spends about 30 minutes in their bathroom every day, with one in for spending more than an hour, according to a poll conducted by American Standard on US consumers. However, when it comes to why exactly you're bathroom isn't the space you deserve, it is a much more personal matter. For instance, some homeowners deserve a bathroom that caters to their physical limitations and/or safety preferences, while others just don't have enough space in their existing room.

Or, as in the case of one of our recent customers, your bathroom is simply outdated. Let's face it, the bathroom that worked for you when you first moved in years ago just doesn't cut it anymore. Appliances and fixtures get rusty, materials and color schemes grow tacky, and the vanity can no longer handle all of your stuff. Of course, bathroom remodeling is an investment--but that doesn't necessarily mean it's risky. In fact, a bathroom remodel has one of the highest returns of most any other home remodeling project, not to mention it is a huge selling factor for potential buyers down the road. Plus, when you add in the peace of mind you receive from enhancing your lifestyle with a modern bathroom design, it really becomes an easy decision. 

For Joyce, a recent JM Design Build customer in Broadview Heights, OH (just south of Cleveland), the decision to invest in a bathroom remodel turned out to be a pretty savvy move. At first, she wanted to get an idea for the costs involved, so we set up a time to meet with one of our experts for a free bathroom design consultation. Once we understood her needs, we presented her with a design that ended up being exactly what she was looking for, so she chose to hire us as her bathroom remodeler. 

OUR BATHROOM REMODELING PROCESS
To begin the process, we demo'd the entire existing bathroom and removed all materials including drywall and flooring. Then, we updated the electric with modern supplies in order to more efficiently service her new space. After the new tub was set, we installed fresh drywall, durarock and layed new tile on the floor and on the perimeter of the shower. Then, our remodeling crew hooked up the new toilet, set the vanity cabinets and granite counter top, primed and painted the drywall, hung the towel racks and installed the light fixtures. (see Frequently Asked Questions to learn more about our process).

In less than 3 weeks, Joyce had a brand new bathroom and a great place to spend her time. Needless to say, she's very happy with her investment.

Like many homeowners in Brecksville - Broadview Heights, this family needed more living space, and decided the basement would be a great place to find it. After talking with a few home remodeling firms, they were still having trouble envisioning the ideas that the contractors were suggesting, so they called us here at JM Design Build a free design consultation. With the help of our design team, we were not only able to explain to them how to maximize the useable space of the basement, but actually provided professional drawings to show exactly how we could transform the entire floor into a fully functional household area.

As it turned out, the homeowners had a lot more room than they had realized. For instance, in addition to freeing up more than 120 square feet of storage space, this Broadview Heights basement remodel includes a home theatre room (pre-wired for a projector and surround sound), a downstairs office with a feature glass door, an exercise room, and a full basement bathroom which is complete with tile floor and a glass shower. What's more, our professional craftsmen cut back one side of the wall coming down the stairs in order to open up the layout and eliminate the "tunnel" feeling of the steps.

Here is what the homeowner told Service Magic about his newly finished basement:
"The people at JM are very easy to work with and are great with communication. I would highly recommend them to work on your home!!"
