This family wanted a more functional space that could keep up with real life. The former dining room had become a playroom—underutilized and cluttered—and the laundry area lacked counterspace, storage, and flow. Bailey Design + Build reimagined the entire front portion of the home, transforming it into a multi-use laundry and mudroom zone. By relocating the garage entry and absorbing unused closets, the design also improved the adjacent kitchen layout, making the entire first floor more organized, open, and family-ready.

We just completed our second experience using Bailey, and they did an excellent job again. This time, we had a full kitchen and first floor remodel completed. From the design and planning process through the execution of the project, Bailey’s support was top-notch. Particular strengths include:
Timeliness - The time of our initial outreach to Bailey about maybe doing a project like this to the completion of this project was a mere 7.5 months. Bailey showed a sense of urgency throughout all phases.
Project management - Bailey’s dedicated project manager for our project (Erik) was great to work with. It was reassuring to know that he was spearheading our project every day, and he was committed to getting our project done the right way and addressing any issues.
Experience in Louisville - Bailey had performed similar remodels for other homes in our neighborhood, so we were confident that Bailey would have good ideas about how to redesign our first floor based on their experience with similar homes. That said, they of course took into account our specific needs in the design planning.
The downside of Bailey—if you would call it that—is that you’re likely to be paying a premium for their services. But as with anything else, you get what you pay for. Bailey is a one-stop shop for a remodel, so part of what you’re paying for is certainly the convenience and peace of mind that comes from that.
