Finding the Right Renovation Solutions for Your Home—A Step-by-Step Process

The right solution depends on your home’s existing conditions, your goals, the desired spatial changes, and the project’s regulatory context. Ortiz Mexia Projects, Inc. begins with a collaborative discussion to understand priorities, then develops an appropriate design direction. Options may include a remodel, addition, alteration, interior redesign, historical preservation approach, or a combination of integrated services.

Residential renovation design can include architectural design, interior design, custom cabinetry and built-ins, building permit procurement, consultant coordination, contractor bidding guidance, construction administration, and project guidance through completion. The scope is shaped around the property and goals. Ortiz Mexia Projects, Inc. supports single-family residential projects and coordinates related design elements for a cohesive result.

This immersive feedback can make spatial relationships easier to understand and support more informed design conversations.

The firm’s stated service areas include Los Angeles, California, and Colorado’s Roaring Fork Valley. Catalogued projects and services also identify Santa Monica, Beverly Hills, Aspen, Snowmass, Basalt, and Carbondale.
