Start With Clarity Before You Talk to a Contractor
Delano Designs helps Atlanta homeowners define scope, layout, finish direction, and permit-ready plans before construction begins—so contractor pricing is cleaner and expensive surprises are reduced.
• $500 Design Jumpstart credited toward full design
• Bathroom full design starting at $3,500+
• Kitchen full design starting at $5,000+
• Permit-ready drawings and construction administration available as the next phases
Best fit for Atlanta homeowners who want a real plan before construction begins
• Planning a kitchen, bathroom, basement, addition, or exterior remodel
• Wanting scope, layout, and finish direction clarified before hiring a contractor
• Typically investing $35k+ into the project
• Wanting fewer change orders, cleaner bids, and stronger execution
We take a limited number of new design starts each month so every client gets direct guidance.
Most remodels do not get expensive because of one bad finish decision
They get expensive when layout, scope, and priorities are still unclear, but contractor pricing has already started. That is when bids vary wildly, allowances hide missing work, and changes during construction become expensive.
Delano solves that before construction begins
• Full design direction before build starts
• Contractor-ready scope for cleaner pricing
• Permit-ready drawings when the project requires them
• Construction administration to protect the project through execution
How Delano projects typically progress
Step 1 —
$500 Design Jumpstart: In-home consultation, LiDAR measurements, scope review, layout direction, finish guidance, and a realistic budget range.
Step 2 —
Full Design: Bathroom design starting at $3,500+ and kitchen design starting at $5,000+ Whole home projects are typically custom scoped and are about $7/sqft
Step 3 —
Permit-Ready Drawings: Used when the project needs construction documents for approval and bidding.
Bathroom permit-ready drawings after design start at $2,500+.
Kitchen permit-ready drawings after design start at $4,500+.
Whole-home architectural drawings start at $14,000 for 2,000 sq ft.
Step 4-
For homeowners who want the strongest control from planning through construction, Delano’s recommended approach is typically 15–25% of total project value and includes full design, permit drawings, contractor bid leveling, and ongoing construction oversight.
Most homeowners start with the $500 Design Jumpstart, then move into the level of support their project actually needs.
A smarter remodeling process starts before anyone swings a hammer
Step 1: Feasibility and fit
Step 2: Home consultation + LiDAR measurement
Step 3: Existing → proposed plans
Step 4: Finish decisions and schedules
Step 5: Permit-ready construction documents
Step 6: Construction administration
What the Design Jumpstart Gives You
• Clarity on what is actually possible in your space
• Layout direction before contractors start pricing
• Early finish and material guidance
• A realistic budget range based on your actual project
• A clear recommendation on what to do next
This is not a vague estimate or a random walkthrough. It is the first step toward a cleaner plan and a better remodeling decision.
Project Types We Help Define Before Construction Begins
Whether you are remodeling a kitchen, reworking a bathroom, unlocking basement square footage, or planning a larger addition or exterior upgrade, the same principle applies: get the plan right first.
Ryan and his team have been amazing to work with. I will for sure be reaching out for our next design project. The details and creative designs they came up with were just what I was looking for. Thank you so much!

Communication and care was amazing. Ryan was able to help my family through the beginning processes and he was able to explain everything and provide wonderful resources. His team
definitely cares about their clients and look to create lasting relationships.

The whole process was great! Sure there was a delay from a manufacturer, but Ryan managed that process to minimize the impact on the whole project. That made a huge difference to me as the homeowner.
It was a large project, but I never felt I (or my input) got lost in the process. I liked how we modified the project when we came up with new ideas.
I highly recommend Delano Designs and will use them again. The project was a home run.

I just want to begin by saying how professional and experienced this company is. Delano Designs did an incredible job handling my bathroom / shower remodel. The paint, tile & flooring came out perfectly, I could not have contacted a better company to help with this stressful project, they literally took the headache out of it and made it an easy process! I highly recommend Delano Designs for any interior project! Thank you so much to the owner who made this such an easy going and stress free job!

I have to be honest, I was a bit apprehensive to work with a designer who wasn’t local. My experience to date working with Ryan has been the best design experience I’ve ever had. His firm is super quick to respond, pays great attention to detail, and has been a total delight to work with! I highly recommend Delano Designs!

Ryan at Delano designs was great and understanding. He took my vision on my bathroom redesign and turned it into a unique, modern, and functional design. The project was finished ahead of schedule. Everyone was professional, nice, and on time. Can’t wait for him to turn the rest of my condo into something special.
