History
BetterSpace was established in April 2003 and is a small custom renovation construction company with operations in the metropolitan Washington, DC area. BetterSpace has built an excellent reputation built on sound engineering, high quality workmanship and responsiveness to clients’ design demands.
Philosophy
The “juice” – as it were – is finding the art in everything we do.
We are proud of our hard won reputation and our continued goal is to brand our projects:
“That is a BetterSpace job.”
Design
We are fundamentally problem solvers. In having that trait we often act as designers/architects for of our projects. This allows us to accelerate the pace of the work and to quickly integrate customer requirements.
Many times the design work we provide manifests it self as elegant solutions for the client. These details may be mundane but the impact to the finish product is critical.
Build
Our renovations have run the gamut from small facelifts to major whole house transformations. This breadth of work has encompassed each room of the house and every possible area.
Artistic
Finding the art it what we do can also manifest itself as actual art.
In addition to installing standard products, we have created many wonderful pieces of art – that just happen to be an integral part of someone’s home.
We have built custom furniture and household features including:
* Beds
* Doors
* Windows
* Tables
* Cabinets
* Bookshelves
* Wooden Countertops
* Concrete Countertops
* Management
