McKinney, Texas
Your Home, Reimagined.
By Design.
Where Life Keeps Moving
Residential design, construction, and insurance restoration. We guide you through every step — with intention, transparency, and care.
The Promise
Built With Intention, Every Step of the Way
When something goes wrong with your home — or when you're ready to make it better — the process of making it right should feel guided, transparent, and ultimately transformative. That's what we do. By design.
Design Vision
We see what your space could become — not just what it is today. Sarah’s eye for transformation turns damage into opportunity and dated spaces into places you love.
Clear Process
You’ll always know where you stand — what’s happening, what’s next, and what it costs. No surprises, no guesswork, no disappearing contractor.
True Partnership
We’re genuinely invested in your outcome — as a project and as people. You’ll have a partner who listens, adapts, and cares about getting it right for you.
The Services
What We Do
Whether you're dealing with unexpected damage or ready to transform your home, we have the experience and the process to guide you through it.
When water damage strikes, you need someone who answers the phone, knows the process, and can see the opportunity beyond the damage. We work directly with your insurance company, manage the entire restoration, and help you reimagine the space. Many of our clients end up with a home that’s better than before.
What to Expect
We respond quickly, assess the damage, coordinate with your insurance adjuster, and handle everything from emergency mitigation through final construction — so you can focus on your family, not your claim.
A whole home remodel is a significant investment — in your home and in your daily life during construction. We bring design vision, project discipline, and clear communication so you always know where things stand. From initial concept through final walkthrough, every decision is intentional.
What to Expect
A dedicated project partner from day one. Design selections guided by Sarah’s eye, construction managed by David’s discipline, and a clear timeline you can count on.
Kitchens and bathrooms are where the impact of great design is felt every single day. We handle everything — design selections, material sourcing, trade coordination, and timeline management — so you can focus on the exciting part: watching your vision come to life.
What to Expect
A thoughtful design process that starts with how you actually live in the space. Material selections you’ll love, a realistic timeline, and no surprises on cost.
Sarah’s design eye transforms how you see your space. Whether you need staging for a sale, design direction for a remodel, or help visualizing possibilities, our design services help you make confident decisions about your home.
What to Expect
A collaborative design experience where your vision meets Sarah’s expertise. Mood boards, material selections, and a clear direction — whether you’re selling, renovating, or just reimagining.
The Work
Real Projects, Real Results
Every project tells a story — of a challenge met, a vision realized, and a home transformed. These are a few of ours.

The People
David & Sarah
By Design Homes is a family business in the deepest sense. We bring our whole selves to every project — because we believe the best work happens when you genuinely care about the people you're serving.
David
David has always been drawn to solving complex problems alongside people — understanding what they actually need, not just what they say they need. He believes the best project experiences come from honest communication, thinking ahead, and genuinely caring about the outcome. When it's working right, you don't worry about the details. You just feel like it's handled.
Sarah
Sarah sees what a space could become — not just what it is today. Whether she's staging a home for sale or helping a family choose finishes for a remodel, she has a way of making a room feel like it belongs to the people who live in it. Design isn't decoration to her — it's how a home starts to feel like yours again.
