You have decided to start a home renovation project. Congratulations! You are excited but also feeling overwhelmed by the process. Can you relate to any of this?

  • What design style best represents me?
  • How can I be sure I will like it once it’s finished?
  • How will I find what I want with so many options?
  • What comes first?
  • How can I make sure the completed project feels like home?

These questions are perfectly normal. Starting a renovation can be difficult, especially if it’s your first time. Many things, such as the budget and design, need to be decided on. Our goal is to not only help you with your renovation but also assist you in finding the right design that reflects you perfectly. Find out how we help others through their renovation journey and ensure amazing results.

Understanding You And Helping You Understand Your Needs

Our first step with every new client is listening. This is the most essential part of the process because it is where you express your thoughts, needs, wishes, and goals for the new space. This is your home; you are meant to enjoy this area, so we want to make sure you are happy with the results. We listen so that we can understand your needs and help guide you to exactly the right style and choices that reflect that style.

Simplify The Process

Even though renovating your home will result in a new space that is both beautiful and functional, it can also mean you have to make adjustments until the process is complete. This is not always easy, but your design meeting and contract should be. We don’t bother you with a contract that is ten pages long, has lots of fine print, and is filled with lawyer terms. Our goal is to give you a contract that clearly explains our job and responsibilities, and leave you more time for what is essential.

Set Realistic Goals

HGTV is great at presenting an hour-long, thrilling renovation, but sadly, it often gives unrealistic goals, budgets, and visions. You can read our full article on HGTV here. In our design meeting, we go over all aspects of the project, helping you set realistic goals that lead to a smooth renovation and great results.

Presented Only With Options That Reflect You

No one likes to waste their time looking at things that don’t pertain to them, which is why we give you options that are within your guidelines, including a budget, design style, and color choices. Our experience gives us the confidence to say we know what works and what doesn’t. We have helped other clients achieve exactly what they want every time.

Creating A Place That Feels Like You

Our ultimate goal is for you to finish your renovation journey completely happy with the results and in a space that truly feels perfect for you. When a project is complete, it should be what you envisioned and feel like home.

Come visit our showroom, designed to allow you to touch and see the potential awaiting your space. Touring our showroom gives you the chance to put yourself in a real space and say, “Yes, this feels like home.”

“We interviewed two other cabinet companies located here in Charlotte.  Our decision to use Greenbrook Design –  was based on our great previous experience and the quality of Walker Woodworking cabinetry…Their design help was critical to the success of the project.  They helped us understand what works and doesn’t work based on their experience.”

Satisfied client.
