Each project is designed to minimize stress and proactively address complications, which has resulted in many satisfied clients praising Schloegel Design Remodel for its service, ethics, and quality.[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]
[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]When Jake Schloegel first started Schloegel Design Remodel, he realized that the existing design-construction model could not accomplish the ideal client experience that he thought was possible. According to him, the main issue with the model revolved around inefficient budgeting, which often led to disappointing results for clients. Therefore, he and the firm then worked on developing a process that made them fully responsible for the design and remodeling process. For example, the new approach begins with the budgeting phase, which helps manage expectations. While Schloegel Design Remodel has made adjustments to the process over the years, the original idea continues to serve as the foundation. In 2018, Jake was succeeded by his son, Charlie, and by Chris Peterson. Charlie Schloegel is a Certified Remodeler (CR) and a Universal Design Certified Professional (UDCP), while Peterson is a Master of Corporate Real Estate (MCR), a Certified Remodeling Project Manager (CRPM), and a Certified Lead Carpenter (CLC). Charlie and Peterson continue to uphold the values that Jake founded the firm with.

The project aimed to address the homeowners’ concerns about the cramped kitchen while enhancing the functionality and aesthetics of the bathroom and outdoor area. In the kitchen, KCHS removed an interior wall to create an open and spacious layout. The back deck of the home was reimagined as a new porch, complete with a screen door.
