Remodeling and Interior Design in Alachua, FL
Alachua sits just north of Gainesville on US-441, and for homeowners here, proximity to a design-build firm that handles everything in-house is a genuine advantage. Kaelyn Schmidt Design is based in Gainesville at 3528 NW 97th Blvd, and we serve Alachua directly — no added travel surcharges, no outsourcing to a firm that doesn’t know the area.
What We Do in Alachua
Kitchen Remodeling
The kitchen is consistently the room that drives the most return — in livability and in resale value. We handle full kitchen remodels from layout changes and custom cabinetry to countertop replacement, new flooring, lighting, and appliance coordination. Our Renovation & Remodeling service puts design and construction under one roof, which means fewer gaps between what was planned and what gets built.
Bathroom Remodeling
From a guest bath refresh to a full primary suite transformation, bathroom remodeling is one of our most requested services in the Alachua area. We manage tile selection, fixture choices, vanity installation, lighting, and any necessary plumbing changes — and we coordinate the subcontractors, so you’re not chasing down separate trades.
New Construction Selections
Alachua’s newer subdivisions have brought a steady flow of new construction selection clients to our firm. If you’re building in the area, our New Construction Selections service helps you make confident, coordinated finish decisions without blowing your builder allowances on choices you’ll want to change in three years.
Decorating & Décor
Not every project is a remodel. If your home needs a refresh — new furniture arrangement, updated window treatments, better lighting, or a cohesive color palette — our Decorating & Décor service covers the aesthetic side without the construction scope.
A Local Project Near Alachua
A recent project for clients in the Alachua area involved a kitchen remodel that had stalled under a previous contractor. We stepped in to complete the cabinetry installation, select and install countertops, and finish out the tile backsplash and lighting. The clients had originally hired a GC without a designer, which left them making rushed finish decisions in the middle of construction. Having a designer and contractor under one roof from the start prevents exactly that scenario.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does Kaelyn Schmidt Design charge extra to come to Alachua?
No. Alachua is within our standard service area. Our Gainesville base puts us just a few minutes away, and there’s no travel premium for clients in Alachua.
We're in an older home in Alachua — is that a problem for remodeling?
Older homes often come with surprises behind the walls — outdated wiring, old plumbing, or framing that doesn’t match current code. We’ve navigated those situations many times. We build contingencies into our project plans so that discoveries mid-project don’t derail the timeline or the budget.
Can you handle just a bathroom remodel, or do you require larger projects?
Single-room projects are absolutely within our scope. A bathroom remodel is a standalone engagement — we don’t require a minimum project size.
