JG Design Solutions: Success Stories

In the video above, Diane Davi and Darren Mills introduce you to JG Design Solutions.

 

What Is JG Design Solutions?

 

Before And After: A Picture Is Worth 1,000 Words

Here is a brief description and a pair of photographs showing how our design services in action. We recently worked with a Seattle area homeowner to remodel a townhome. See the full story and over a dozen before and after photos here.

Getting Started —>

BEFORE —- This Seattle area townhome was in good condition, but didn’t fit our client’s vision and lifestyle. Specifically, the main level of the townhome felt small and dark with three separate dimly lit rooms. Additionally, you could not see the front or backyard of the home unless you were in the adjacent room.

Completed Project —>

AFTER —- Now you still have distinctive living spaces between the living room, kitchen, and family room, but the whole space is connected, open, and bright.

You can see out every window, enjoy the floor-to-ceiling fireplace, and watch TV no matter where you stand on the main floor.

 

Common Scenarios For Our Seattle Area Clients:

Preparing To Sell your home

Is your home in need of updates to maximize the selling price? Are you busy with the logistics of your move and don’t have the bandwidth to get your home ready for discerning home buyers? We are here to hold your hand and give you advice on which updates make the most sense, and then we take it from there to handle the details of getting everything ready for going on the market.

Updates When Buying A New home

Do you love the bones of the house you’re purchasing and want to make a few updates, but you don’t have the time or equipment to tackle the project? Allow us to take your vision and turn it into reality.

Maximizing Rent For Your Investment PropertY

Have you just acquired a Seattle area rental property? Or perhaps you are looking to make some updates at the end of your tenants’ current lease? Our Design Solutions team is expertly positioned to assist you with consulting on updates to the property to maximize the rent. Once the project is complete, then you sit back and let our Seattle area property management experts handle everything for you.
