Remodel Studio by Ernie Sandoval · Chicago suburbs
Your remodel planner. On site when you can't be.
“We've dealt with many builders and sales managers over the years — the experience with Ernie cannot be compared.”
Think wedding planner — for your home
A wedding planner doesn't sell the flowers or cater the food — so their only loyalty is to you. I plan your budget and the timeline. I don't sell labor or markup materials. That's why my advice stays 100% on your side.
Your independent project director
A 10-year production-homebuilding veteran, Ernie spent a decade inside the builders. Now he sits on the homeowner's side of the table — planning the scope, sequencing the decisions and checking the work.

The studio
What can be done
We plan and sequence the work. Licensed local trades build it.
01
We'll learn what inspires you
When you arrive, we browse the scopes together to get a sense of your style and review any photos, boards, swatches, or ideas you've been gathering.
We also take the footprint — the rooms or the wing you want to change — and record the measurements so the plan starts from the house you have, not a guess.

We'll work together
We match your sense of style with the rooms, finishes, and details that give the house its touch — kitchen, bath, flooring, cabinets, and the addition itself.
