Bekah Wagner Design

We knew we wanted to do some renovation work on our home but had no idea where to start and thankfully we procrastinated until we saw some of Bekah's work and talked with past clients of hers. Bekah is a phenomenal designer and contractor who took our vague ideas and created something truly wonderful that exceeded our expectations. Her attention to detail in all facets of the construction process from designing millwork, to recommending fixtures, tile, colors, traffic flow, and best use of space was the best we've ever encountered. She's professional, honest and fair, plus incredibly fun to work with. We'd give her 10 stars if that were an option! We absolutely love our home now.

We've hired Bekah Wagner and Design to do four major projects for us in the past decade. Bekah is a very creative, talented and meticulous designer with an eye to detail and perfectionism. Even with her seriousness to perfectionism, she is very fun to work with and has a great sense of humor. The first project Bekah did for us was around 2009 and was a major kitchen and sunroom renovation. She transformed a very traditional 80's kitchen and separate sunroom into one large, open, spacious and sunny area. She did an excellent job of transitioning the very old traditional look into a fresh and warm contemporary space. Our second project was 2 yrs. later in 2011 and was a master bath remodel. She created a luxurious spa-like shower and tub area with beautiful handcrafted vanities. Three years later in 2015, we were delighted to get to work with Bekah again. She finished designing the rest of the house so that all areas tied together. The areas included the foyer, entire upstairs bedroom area and playroom. With the completion of this project our entire house had been redesigned/remodeled into a classy contemporary home which we love! After this last project we thought we were finished redecorating, that is until Hurricane Florence came and destroyed our beach house in 2018-19. We had to gut the house and begin from scratch. Bekah was there for us once again and was our general contractor as well as designer. She re-envisioned a very closed off and dated 80's beach house into a spacious open home where walls were removed and new areas created to give us a true vacation home that offers serenity and tranquility. Over the years it has been a great joy to work with Bekah. She ceases to amaze us of her creativity and her dedication to design what we could never imagine. We hope there won't be any more remodeling projects, but if there are, Bekah will be the first person we call.

Bekah is an exceptional designer and contractor, and we would certainly hire her again in the future. She worked with us to create our dream open kitchen, living room and dining area. It was a major undertaking that required the demolition of two walls and the installation of overhead beams for support. In addition, midway through the project, Hurricane Florence caused some water damage to our home, and Bekah needed to coordinate her work around the contractors doing storm repairs. She handled the entire situation with grace and adaptability. I cannot say enough about Bekah's character and abilities. She is a hardworking, honest, reliable, prompt, detail-oriented, humble perfectionist who has handpicked a team of incredible like-minded subcontractors (e.g. electrician, carpenter, tile installer, flooring company). She saw the project through from initial planning and drawings to final inspections and every item on the last punch list. Bekah stands apart from other designers and contractors we have worked with before. Here are some examples: o DESIGNS A SPACE THAT FITS THE WAY YOU LIVE During our first few meetings Bekah spent a lot of time getting to know us and learning about how our family functions. She incorporated this information into her design, and we appreciate this effort every day as we enjoy our new space. o CREATES OPTIMAL AESTHETICS & FUNCTIONAL DESIGN Bekah has an exceptionally creative mind. In fact, one of her subcontractors and I think that she is a design genius. She is able to look at a space and visualize what it can be. This is due to her innately keen artistic eye and her passion for what she does. She studies architectural and interior design, products, and vendors on her down time so she knows the full gamut of what is available. o MAKES THE PROCESS EASY FOR BUSY CLIENTS Once we approved the project design, Bekah created a step-wise plan. She knows the order in which things must be done, and lined up her contractors accordingly. She worked with our busy schedules so we could visit vendors with her for kitchen appliances, countertops, tile, flooring, and kitchen hardware. She has many connections in the industry which made this part of the process fun, exciting, and exceptionally easy. She then placed all of the orders for us and communicated with the vendors about delivery times. o 100% COMMITTED TO QUALITY Bekah has great taste and steered us toward high quality products, supplies, and subcontractors. She inspected all the work that was done by others, and made sure it was done right and corrected when needed. Though weather and other setbacks out of her control occasionally changed the anticipated timeline, Bekah never cut corners to rush the job. We are thankful for her perfectionism and attention to detail; she takes great pride in her work and it shows. o BEKAH PROVIDES A REALISTIC PLAN FOR TIMELINE AND BUDGET o SHE HAS EXCEPTIONAL TEAM OF SUBCONTRACTORS THAT WORK WELL TOGETHER Finally, I would like to say that BEKAH IS A JOY TO BE AROUND! This is important because when you have a major renovation or building project done, you spend a considerable amount of time with your designer/contractor. Bekah practically became a member or our family! She was a great role model for our children, and became a friend to us. I miss seeing her now that our work is done.

This was our first time working with Bekah Wagner Designs. We met Bekah while getting our autos repaired and called her about developing a design for a master bathroom remodel. Like most novices we had no idea where to begin. Bekah hit the ground running. She started us out by reviewing Houzz.com for bathroom related products we liked. From those few photos Bekah put together a bathroom design that floored us. She walked us through every choice from grout, tile, paint color, lights, plumbing fixtures, windows, and cabinetry. Working with novices can be difficult, but Bekah asked all the right questions and provided guidance which made this a successful endeavor for us all. Bekah’s time line was perfect, and she worked with carpenters, air conditioning mechanics, plumbers, electricians, tile experts, cabinet maker. We are hoping to design a new kitchen in the years to come and will reach out to Bekah Wagner Design because of the very professional work she performed with our bathroom remodel completed fall 2017.

This is our 2nd time working with Bekah Wagner Designs. We can't say enough about the amazing design Bekah developed for our total kitchen remodel/common rooms upgrade completed at the end of June 2016. After the incredible results of our 2015 home expansion, upstairs suite addition, master & 1st floor guest baths remodel and the 4-season porch addition, she set a pretty high bar. However Bekah topped it all this year. Our new kitchen & breakfast rooms now open up to our refreshed living & dining rooms to create the most amazing open concept set of common space areas we could have imagined. Bekah brought everything from flooring to lighting together in one integrated vision that we will cherish for years to come. The functionality and unique features of the design fit every facet of our lifestyle seamlessly. One other thing I have to mention is that she also designed a new freshly visioned powder room for us as part of this project. So with this bath, her talented designs are now showcased in all four of our remodeled bathrooms. We couldn't be more pleased!
