Our Services.

McCarten Design is a full-service design-build firm focused on custom homes and transformative renovations. We guide each project from concept to completion through a seamless process that integrates thoughtful design, detailed planning, and expert construction coordination. Our services include:

Interior and Exterior Design

At McCarten Design, we specialize in comprehensive interior and exterior design for custom homes, large-scale remodels, and thoughtfully curated living environments. Our team collaborates closely with homeowners to create cohesive, highly detailed spaces that are both functional and timeless — from the architectural exterior to the final interior furnishings.

Exterior design services include the selection and coordination of siding, stone and brick, roofing, windows, doors, garage doors, exterior lighting, trim details, decking, and landscape concepts. Interior design services encompass all finish and furnishing selections including flooring, cabinetry, millwork, wall treatments, plumbing fixtures, lighting, paint, furniture, window treatments, artwork, and more.

As part of our design process, we develop the visual and technical documentation necessary to bring each project to life. Depending on project scope, this may include conceptual floor plans, elevations, detail drawings, finish plans, 3D renderings, furniture layouts, and landscape/site concepts. We also produce construction-specific design details and subcontractor coordination drawings to ensure the design vision is carried through with precision during execution.

Our focus is on delivering a fully integrated design experience tailored to substantial renovations and custom home projects where thoughtful planning, detailed coordination, and elevated design are essential.

Project Management

Our team guides each project from initial concept through construction completion with a highly organized and detail-driven approach. We believe successful projects are built through careful planning, transparent communication, and proactive coordination long before construction begins.

Once the design and construction scope are finalized, we prepare comprehensive project budgets and coordinate the procurement of trusted subcontractors and vendors selected for their craftsmanship and professionalism. From there, we develop and manage a detailed project schedule to help maintain efficiency, accountability, and momentum throughout the build process.

McCarten Design oversees the day-to-day coordination of subcontractors, scheduling, budgeting, billing, material procurement, and construction communication, providing clients with a streamlined and cohesive experience from start to finish. Our team remains deeply involved throughout construction to ensure design intent is executed properly and that every detail is thoughtfully considered along the way.

By combining design expertise with hands-on project management, we help create a construction experience that feels organized, collaborative, and intentional — resulting in homes that are beautifully executed down to the final detail.
