Accessible, clear, & local remodeling design for every style & budget

Design Q&A is the only independent home remodeling design biz of its kind. It’s a one man operation founded, owned, and operated by me, Paul Livdahl. (Collaborations with builders, design contractors, tech assistants, my wife, kids, dog, and cat are where the ‘we’ comes from) My big idea for Design Q&A was to make remodeling design accessible to everyone. I’d seen too many expensive home improvement projects fall flat or even fail from lack of imagination. Design Q&A combines my design ability, building experience, problem solving, and communication skills to bridge the design gap in home improvement: contractors are best at building, interior designers furnish, and architects are overkill.

Principles important at Design Q&A:

• We’re independent from builders and suppliers so you have freedom to do what you want with our designs.

• We don’t charge a percentage of the overall building cost like is typical so we have no incentive to get you to exceed your budget.

• Speaking of budgets we try to find the least expensive way to achieve your goals but also won’t forget that the project needs to function and look great.

• We ask questions and listen to our clients before coming up with ideas and provide a lot of opportunity for feedback.

• Likewise our goal is good design and good design comes in many different styles. If you don’t have a favored style we’ll help you find one.

• We avoid gimmicks and aim for classic design that won’t go out of style in a week.

• We’re not afraid of difficult design problems, in fact we thrive on them.

We like people and would be honored to speak with you to see how we can help you achieve the best possible outcome to your home improvement project.
