Interior & outdoor design, from the crew that builds it.
From a single room refresh to a full backyard living space, I'll walk the space with you, work out the layout and materials, and hand you a firm quote — then build it myself, so nothing gets lost between the plan and the job site.

Design for the room you're in, or the yard outside it
Every space is scoped and planned with you before any material is ordered or work is scheduled — the same way every job here is priced.
Indoor Space Design
Room layout and traffic-flow planning, color and material direction, and fixture or finish selection — for one room or a full-home refresh, coordinated with any remodeling or repair work you need done.
Useful ahead of a bathroom or kitchen remodel, a flooring change, or simply a room that isn't working for how you actually live in it. We walk the space, talk through how it's used, and put together a layout and material plan before anything is ordered.
Outdoor Living Design
Patio and outdoor kitchen layout, fencing and gate placement, and hardscape planning for concrete, stone, and covered structures — so the yard is planned as one space instead of separate projects.
Whether it's a new outdoor kitchen, a covered patio, a fence and gate line, or a poured concrete area, we plan how the pieces fit together on your lot before any of it gets built, so the finished yard reads as one design instead of add-ons over time.

Frequently asked about design services
Is the design consultation free?
The initial walkthrough and conversation about your space is free. If it turns into a full layout, material list, and project quote, that scope is confirmed with you upfront before any work begins.
What does the design work cost if I move forward?
There's no flat rate for design work since every room and outdoor space is different. After the free walkthrough, you get one itemized quote covering the plan and the build together — no separate "design fee" hidden in the estimate, and no work starts until you approve the price.
Do you design indoor spaces, outdoor spaces, or both?
Both. Indoor rooms — layout, materials, and finishes — and outdoor living spaces such as patios, outdoor kitchens, fencing, and hardscape are handled the same way, either separately or as one project.
Do I have to book the build with ATX Handyman after the design?
No obligation. Most customers do move straight into the build with the same crew since it's already scoped and quoted, but the plan is yours either way.
What comes with a design consultation?
A walkthrough and measurements, style and material direction, a layout or space plan for the area discussed, suggested fixtures and finishes, and an itemized quote once the scope is set.
How long does the design phase take?
A single room or small outdoor area is usually a same-week walkthrough with a plan and quote to follow shortly after. Larger, multi-space projects take longer to scope properly.
