{ADELINE RAY}
Growing up in Europe and attending The Art Institute of Houston, exposed me to a myriad of cultures and design styles. I work closely with my clients to ensure collaboration in achieving their overall vision, no matter how grand or relaxed their style. Over the past twenty years, my company has been based on the belief that our customers' needs and wants come first. I am blessed to have a great team of skilled contractors and designers that are committed to meeting our clients' high expectations. Due to our outstanding customer service, a high percentage of our business comes from repeat customers and client referrals. I welcome the opportunity to earn your business.

Need Remodeling as part of the design project?
-
Adeline usually acts as the General Contractor on her jobs. She will hire and oversee the subs and get necessary permitting. After several of her clients had bad experiences with contractors, she decided it was better for her clients to have one point of contact and that she could better oversee and execute her own design plan.
-
Her management style is to micro manage her subs and make sure they are executing the best possible outcome. Issues may arise on construction projects but she is very adept at finding solutions with her homeowners and her crew.
-
After we give you a bid for the entire project, we send a bill for each trade and or product as it is needed. Instead of taking a percentage up front like most contractors. This keeps you in control of your budget the entire way.
-
We have easy online billing with a client portal so they can review proposals and invoices once paid. This has been very helpful to our clients.
