Clear design direction for every decision, from layout to last detail.
A renovation can change the way your home works, how it feels when you walk in, and whether a space finally does what you've always needed it to do. But without clear design direction from the start, renovations have a way of becoming a string of individual decisions that don't hold together. Fitch Hill Design provides full-service interior design for home renovations across the greater Phoenix area. We handle the complete design vision. Your general contractor handles the build.
We provide the design direction that holds a renovation together. Whether you're rethinking your kitchen, updating multiple bathrooms, or transforming your entire home, our job is to make sure every choice supports the home as a whole.
Before anything is demolished, we evaluate how the space works now and plan how it should work when the renovation is complete. For kitchens, this means rethinking cabinetry layouts, appliance placement, and flow. For bathrooms, it's fixture positioning, storage, and how the room functions daily.
Flooring, tile, countertops, backsplash, wall treatments, hardware — selected as a cohesive palette, not one at a time. Each finish is chosen in context of the full room and the rooms around it.
Kitchen cabinetry, bathroom vanities, built-in storage, and any custom woodwork. We design it in detail and produce the CAD installation drawings your builder or cabinet maker needs to build it right.
We select and specify every decorative light fixture and plumbing fixture in the project. Your builder receives detailed specifications and handles all coordination with the trades on site.
Your contractor receives a complete package: CAD installation drawings, finish schedules, specification sheets, and sourcing details. Good documentation is how design intent survives the job site.
Many renovation clients want to furnish the newly designed spaces as well. Furniture is added as a later phase, after the interior finishes are established. We handle the full procurement process so the finished rooms are complete, not half-done.
Every renovation begins with understanding what isn't working and what you want your home to become. We'll talk about your project, your goals, and whether we're the right fit for each other.
Once we understand the project, we prepare a design agreement with a clear scope and a flat design fee. You'll know what we're doing and what it costs before any work begins.
The finish selections, specifications, CAD drawings, and sourcing details are completed and delivered to your builder before they start. Making decisions before demolition begins is faster, less stressful, and protects the quality of the result.
We collaborate with your architect during the design phase and communicate with your builder or their project manager during construction. Your builder coordinates all trades on site.
If you don't have a contractor, we're happy to share referrals to builders we know and trust. The builders we work best with run professional operations, work with designers regularly, and follow detailed CAD documentation closely.
Design to Renovate is for homeowners who are ready to invest in their home and want a designer to lead the full interior vision.
If your project is limited to a single powder room, a laundry room, or a few fixture swaps, it's likely below our minimum scope. We focus on projects where the design makes a meaningful impact on how you live in your home.
No. We are an interior design firm. We don't manage construction or coordinate trades. Your general contractor manages all construction activity and coordinates every trade on site. We provide the design, the selections, and the detailed documentation your builder works from.
It depends on the scope. Larger renovations — whole-home projects, significant layout changes, or anything involving structural modifications — typically include an architect. For smaller renovations that don't involve structural changes, an architect may not be necessary. If a project involves structural work and there's no architect involved, that's usually not a fit for us.
Yes. We work with several trusted builders across the greater Phoenix area and are happy to share referrals. The builders we recommend are experienced professionals who work with designers regularly and know how to follow detailed CAD documents and design specifications.
Our minimum scope for a renovation is one primary room — typically a kitchen or primary bathroom. We don't take on single fixture swaps, powder rooms, or scattered small updates as standalone projects.
We charge a flat design fee based on the scope and complexity of the renovation. If anything falls outside the agreed scope, those additions are billed at our hourly rate after you approve them. We'll discuss budget during our initial conversation and make sure expectations are aligned before any work begins.
We can. Furniture and decor is added as a later phase once the interior finishes are established. When included, we handle the full procurement process — sourcing, ordering, and installation — so the finished rooms are complete on move-in day.
