Davis homeowners come to MAK Design + Build when their home no longer supports the way they want to live. It may be a kitchen that feels closed off from the rest of the house, a bathroom or primary suite that no longer fits daily routines, or an entire home that feels dated, disconnected, or out of step with the people living there now.

As a Davis design-build remodeling company, MAK brings design and construction together from the start. We begin by listening because the best remodels are never one-size-fits-all. They are shaped by the people who live there, the character of the home, and the way the space needs to support daily life.

Why Davis Homeowners Choose MAK Design + Build

Home remodeling in Davis works best when the process is as thoughtful as the result.

We Listen Before We Propose

We believe good remodeling starts with understanding, not assumptions. We take time to listen, ask layered questions, and learn what is and is not working in your home before moving toward solutions. That process helps us create spaces that feel intentional, personal, and grounded in the way you actually live.

Design And Construction Are Truly Integrated

As a design-build remodeling company in Davis, MAK brings design and construction together from the beginning. Our team works in close communication throughout the process, allowing us to align vision, budget, and feasibility as the project takes shape. The result is a more cohesive experience and creative solutions that are both thoughtful and buildable.

We Guide With Empathy, Clarity, And Care

Remodeling touches daily life in a very real way, and we never lose sight of that. MAK has built its reputation through trust, curiosity, and respect for the people we work with. We approach each project with care for the home and the people living in it, because a successful remodel should feel well supported from the first conversation through construction.

Kitchen Remodeling

The kitchen often shapes how a home feels and functions every day. In many Davis homes, kitchens were designed for a different way of living, with closed-off layouts, limited storage, or work zones that no longer support how people cook, gather, and move through the space. MAK approaches kitchen remodeling with an eye toward flow, usability, and detail, creating kitchens that feel more connected, more efficient, and more personal.

Bathroom Remodeling

A well-designed bathroom should support daily routines with ease while also creating a sense of comfort and calm. Whether the goal is to update an outdated hall bath, improve function in a shared family bathroom, or create a more spacious and restorative primary bath, MAK helps Davis homeowners rethink these spaces in ways that feel both practical and elevated.

Whole-Home Remodeling

Sometimes the issue is not one room, but the way the entire home works together. Whole-home remodeling can help resolve disconnected layouts, improve natural light, create stronger relationships between spaces, and bring a greater sense of cohesion to the home as a whole. For Davis homeowners who want a more complete transformation, MAK brings design and construction together to create homes that feel more unified, functional, and reflective of the people living in them.

Primary Suites and Bedroom Remodeling

Bedrooms and primary suites should support rest, privacy, and daily routine. In some homes, that may mean improving layout and storage. In others, it may mean creating a more comfortable connection between the bedroom and bath or rethinking underused space to better support how the home functions. MAK designs these spaces with attention to comfort, clarity, and the details that make everyday life easier.

ADUs and Flexible Living Spaces

As needs change, many homeowners are looking for more flexibility from their property. An ADU, guest space, home office, or multi-use living area can create room for extended family, work, privacy, or long-term adaptability. MAK helps homeowners think carefully about how these spaces should function now and how they may need to serve the household over time.

Exterior and Transformational Remodeling

In some projects, the most meaningful change comes from rethinking how the home presents itself, connects to outdoor space, or functions as a whole. Exterior and transformational remodeling may include changes that improve curb appeal, circulation, light, or the overall experience of living in the home. MAK approaches these projects with the same design-led thinking and integrated process that guide every remodel.

Our Design-Build Remodeling Process

Our process is designed to bring clarity, collaboration, and thoughtful guidance to each phase of the work, so homeowners feel supported throughout the experience.


We approach each project through a simple framework: We Meet, We Design, We Build, We Celebrate.


  • We Meet: Every project begins with a conversation. We take time to understand how your home is functioning now, what feels unresolved, and what you want your space to support moving forward. This early phase is about listening, asking thoughtful questions, and building a clear understanding of your priorities before solutions take shape.

  • We Design: Once we understand the goals of the project, we begin shaping a design that responds to the people living in the home, the character of the house, and the practical realities of budget and construction. Because MAK integrates design and build, creativity and feasibility are considered together from the start. Our team works in close communication to refine ideas, align expectations, and create solutions that are both beautiful and buildable.

  • We Build: During construction, that same integrated approach continues. Design intent, craftsmanship, and execution stay closely connected, allowing the project to move forward with greater clarity and cohesion. We guide homeowners through the building phase with communication, care, and respect for the fact that remodeling affects daily life in a very real way.

  • We Celebrate: Beginning the remodeling process can feel exciting, but it can also feel like a lot to untangle. The right partner helps bring clarity, listens well, and creates a path forward that feels thoughtful and well supported.

Remodeling FAQs for Davis Homeowners 

What is a design-build remodel?

A design-build remodel brings design and construction together under one team from the start. Instead of managing separate firms, homeowners move through one integrated process with better alignment around vision, budget, and execution. 

What is the difference between renovation and remodeling?

Renovation usually refers to updating or restoring an existing space, while remodeling often involves changing how the space functions or is laid out. Many projects include both, especially when a home needs cosmetic updates and better flow at the same time. 

What is the 30% rule in remodeling?

The 30% rule is a general budgeting guideline that suggests being thoughtful about how much you invest relative to your home’s value. It can be a useful starting point, but it is not a fixed rule and should always be considered in the context of the home, the neighborhood, and your long-term goals.

What remodeling projects add the most value to a home?

Kitchens, bathrooms, and well-planned whole-home improvements often add the most value. The strongest projects improve not just appearance, but also function, flow, comfort, and how well the home supports daily life. 

Is design-build a good fit for older homes in Davis?

Older homes in Davis may need more than surface-level updates, especially when layout, storage, light, or circulation no longer work well. A design-build approach helps balance creative solutions with practical construction planning from the beginning. 

What types of remodeling projects does MAK take on in Davis?

MAK works on kitchen remodels, bathroom remodels, whole-home remodeling, primary suites, ADUs, and other transformational residential projects. The best-fit projects are typically those that benefit from thoughtful design, clear guidance, and an integrated process.
