Frequently Asked Questions
At PH Design and Construction, we specialize in turning your dream home into reality. From custom home builds and full renovations to interior design and home additions, our team provides personalized solutions, expert craftsmanship, and seamless project management to create spaces that perfectly fit your lifestyle.
Can PH Design and Construction build a fully custom home from scratch?
Yes — PH Design offers full custom home building from the ground up. You can start with an existing floor plan and customize it, or request a fully custom design to match your vision.
Do you offer kitchen and bathroom remodeling?
Yes — they provide kitchen remodeling services as well as bathroom renovations, from powder rooms to spa-like master baths.
What if I want to just remodel part of my house rather than build a new one?
That’s fine. PH Design does interior construction and home remodeling — from single-room renovations to full home overhauls.
Can you expand my home — for instance, add an in‑law suite or additional bedroom?
Yes. They offer home additions including in‑law suites, main-level, basement, detached, or converted garage/guest house, to suit multi-generational living or extra space needs.
Will I be able to see the design before construction begins?
Yes — they have an interior design team that provides 3D renderings so you can visualize your space before building starts
How long does it generally take to build a custom home?
Most custom home projects take about 8 to 12 months from start to finish — depending on size, complexity, and other conditions.
Do you offer free estimates and consultations?
Yes — PH Design provides free estimates for both new construction and remodeling projects.
Which areas do you serve?
They serve homeowners in Northeast Ohio, specifically in Cuyahoga County, Medina County, and Stark County.
Can I choose between one‑story (ranch) or two‑story home plans?
Yes — clients can choose from ranch floor plans or two‑story designs depending on their preference, lifestyle, and lot size.
Do you handle everything from design to construction, including permits and inspections?
Yes — PH Design is a full-service design-build firm. They handle design, construction, and manage permits and inspections per local building codes.
What makes PH Design different from other contractors?
They are family-owned, combine design and construction in one team, offer 3D rendering, personalized service, daily project tracking, and over 30 years of combined experience.
If I remodel or construct with PH Design — will I get a warranty?
Yes. PH Design stands behind their work with warranties covering materials and craftsmanship. Specific terms vary by project and are detailed in the contract.
Do you do basement finishing or basement remodeling?
Yes — they provide basement remodeling and finishing services, ideal for transforming unused space into livable rooms, entertainment areas, or guest suites.
Can you help me design and decorate the interior — e.g., furniture layout, lighting, color palettes?
Yes — their interior design service includes space planning, furniture and decor selection, lighting design, and cohesive styling, not just structural changes.
What if I just want to refresh a kitchen or bathroom rather than a full remodel?
That’s possible — PH Design handles partial renovations like kitchen or bath remodels, giving you flexibility to update specific areas without redoing the whole house.
Can I convert a garage or an existing structure into a living space or in‑law suite?
Yes — among their in-law suite offerings are garage conversions and detached guest-house type suites.
Do you offer custom floor plans, or am I limited to pre-designed layouts?
You are not limited — while they have pre-designed plans, PH Design works with clients to customize layouts or create fully custom plans to meet your needs.
How do I begin — what’s the first step if I want to build or remodel with you?
The first step is to schedule a consultation. From there, the design phase, planning, and project scheduling begin.
Do you offer design-only services (without construction)?
Their primary model is design + build under one roof — combining design and construction for seamless delivery.
Can I view previous projects or get inspiration before starting my own build or remodel?
Yes — PH Design provides a gallery of past remodeling, custom home builds, and design styles to help you get ideas and see their work quality.
