FAQs

What Services Do You Offer?

I offer two distinct services designed to simplify the renovation process and provide clarity, whether you’re tackling the work yourself or collaborating with contractors:

  1. Renovation Design Service
    This foundational service starts with a visit to your home, where I take precise measurements and discuss your renovation goals and vision. Within a few days, you’ll receive a detailed rendering of your renovation plan tailored to your needs. This plan serves as a guide, giving you a clear direction and a sense of purpose for your project—whether you plan to complete it all at once or gradually over the next several years. Offered at a flat rate based on your space size, this service includes one renovation plan with a single revision, with the flexibility for additional revisions billed at an hourly rate.

  2. Full Designer Services
    For clients who want additional support, this optional follow-up service provides hands-on guidance throughout your renovation. I assist with fixture and finish selections to ensure every detail aligns with your vision and budget. I also help facilitate communication with contractors—whether it’s a general contractor or individual specialists like electricians or plumbers—to keep your project progressing smoothly. My role is to make the process as stress-free as possible, acting as your advocate and collaborator every step of the way. This service is billed hourly, making it flexible to meet your specific needs and timeline.

With Aspen & Pine Renovation Design, having a plan in place makes all the difference, whether you’re tackling a complete overhaul or working on your space over time. I aim to make the design process approachable, clear, and tailored to you, ensuring your renovation unfolds with confidence and ease.

How Can You Help Homeowners?

I help homeowners in Lake, Summit, Eagle, and Chaffee counties transform their spaces with thoughtful and practical renovation design solutions. My passion lies in preserving the mountain charm that makes our homes unique while leveling up their functionality and style for modern living. Whether it’s optimizing storage in historic homes, reimagining layouts for better flow, or even designing compact spaces like campervans where every inch matters, my goal is to make every space work harder and feel more intentional.

I believe that home renovation should be accessible to all homeowners, which is why my services are designed to be both comprehensive and affordable. My Renovation Design Service provides a clear, well-thought-out plan that serves as a roadmap for your project—whether you tackle it all at once or spread the work out over months or years. By starting with precise measurements, a tailored rendering, and a deep understanding of your vision, I ensure you have the direction needed to stay on track and make informed decisions.

For those seeking additional support, my Full Designer Services offer hands-on guidance with fixture and finish selections, as well as communication with contractors to keep your project running smoothly. My process is approachable and collaborative, giving you the confidence to move forward with clarity and ease.

At Aspen & Pine Renovation Design, I bring a passion for improving the spaces we call home while respecting the character and beauty of our mountain communities. Whether you’re updating a family home or tackling a long-term renovation project, I’m here to help you create a space that is functional, beautiful, and uniquely yours.

How Does Aspen & Pine Renovation Design Approach Creating Spaces That Align With My Vision?

At Aspen & Pine Renovation Design, I am dedicated to creating spaces that are both functional and aesthetically pleasing while preserving the mountain charm that makes our homes so special. My process is centered around your vision and goals, ensuring every detail is tailored to meet your unique needs.

When we begin, I encourage you to share inspiration photos from Houzz, Pinterest, or even snapshots you’ve taken yourself. These images help me understand your style and aspirations for the space. As I measure your home, we’ll discuss your ideas in detail, exploring everything from storage solutions to flow and functionality. I also take videos of your space so I can fully immerse myself in its details while drawing your plans, ensuring that nothing is overlooked.

The renderings I provide are 2D and thoughtfully designed to give you a clear and actionable roadmap for your renovation. In some cases, I’ll include a basic 3D rendering to help clarify specific elements of the space and make the design easier to visualize. Whether your project is completed all at once or spread over time, these plans provide direction and focus, keeping your renovation on track and aligned with your goals.

At Aspen & Pine Renovation Design, I blend practicality with beauty, working collaboratively with you to bring your vision to life. Whether you’re modernizing a historic home, maximizing storage in a cozy space, or simply looking to refresh your surroundings, my process ensures that your space will work hard for you while maintaining its unique character. Together, we’ll create a space you’ll love for years to come.

What Areas Do You Serve?

I proudly serve homeowners in Leadville, CO, and surrounding counties, including Lake, Summit, Eagle, and Chaffee.

How Does The Renovation Design Service Work?

I begin by visiting your home to take measurements and photos and discuss your renovation goals and vision. Within a few days, I deliver a 2D rendering of your renovation plan, thoughtfully tailored to your needs. As a homeowner, I love transparent pricing so this service is offered at a flat rate based on the size of your space and includes one renovation plan with a single revision. For added flexibility, additional revisions are available at an hourly rate.

Can You Help With Contractor Communication?

Yes! My Full Designer Services include coordinating with contractors on design-related matters to ensure your vision is executed seamlessly. While I don’t manage the job itself, I can recommend a trusted general contractor—like Donnon Builders—who can oversee your project from start to finish.

Throughout the process, I stay in close communication with contractors and subcontractors to address design details, answer questions, and keep the project aligned with the plan. It’s important that I’m kept in the loop about timelines and schedules so that selections can be finalized, purchased, and delivered on time. This helps avoid delays and keeps the renovation progressing smoothly.

With this collaborative approach, you can feel confident that your project will stay organized and true to your vision. My role is to make the design process stress-free and ensure that all the pieces come together beautifully.

I Have A More Modest Budget, Can I Afford To Hire A Designer?

Absolutely! I pride myself on being one of, if not the most budget-friendly designer in the area. My goal is to make high-quality design services accessible to all homeowners, regardless of budget size. Whether you’re planning a full-scale renovation or tackling projects in stages, my services provide a clear, actionable plan to keep your project on track—saving you time, money, and stress in the long run.

How Does Pricing Work?

  • Renovation Design Service: Flat rate pricing based on square footage. *see the services list on the Home page

  • Full Designer Services: Billed at $85/hour *pro-rated half-hours are billed at $50/hour

Do I Have To Hire Donnon Builders To Use Your Design Services?

No! While my partnership with Donnon Builders offers streamlined communication and a trusted construction option, you are welcome to work with any contractor of your choice or complete the work yourself.  My design services are flexible to fit your specific needs and preferences.

How Long Will It Take To Receive My 2D Renderings?

Typically, I provide the renovation rendering within 3-5 business days after the initial consultation and measurements. Once you’ve received the plans, I prefer to meet within a day or two to review them and discuss any revisions. This collaborative review process ensures the design aligns with your vision and provides an opportunity to make any necessary adjustments before moving forward.
