We also specialize in residential renovations and additions.  Our dynamic team handles projects

of all sizes and complexity, from large to small. Our superpower is balancing your budget with

your dreams in order to bring a project to life that you truly love. There's a lot to think about,

and we'll help you define not only what you want, but also what makes sense for you to invest in,

allocating resources where you'll benefit the most. We understand that staying put and enduring the months of disruption that a remodel entails demonstrates your dedication to your home, neighborhood, and community. We've developed our design approach to honor those instincts as well as your decision to invest in the future of your home. We look forward to assisting you in shaping it into its next best version.   As-built drawings are a preliminary supplementary step that is needed for the projects but is not necessary for new construction.  This involves measuring, taking photos, and drawing the current house in order to record it and use it as a starting point for the architectural design process. 

Having samples in hand, you are able to see the outstanding quality of their products, asking them any questions you may have and builder’s questions about installation methods. Its important that you see, feel, and touch the samples before they are purchased & installed in your home. Question if the tile or hardwood flooring will be durable, hold up to what my kids will do?… (will it take abuse, if you get hardwood or tile sample do your worst see if they hold up or mark easily) the feel of fabrics (know the double rub rating of any fabric) how the threads are woven, place your paint samples on different walls to see how light affects the color throughout the day.   Last thing, please don't shy away from using color in your home. The agreeable gray paint in every room with white cabinets, its so overdone.

Hentz Inspired Living specializes in Residential design, creating permit ready plan sets for new built

residences, multi-family homes, or that renovations and/or addition.  We also offer several levels of

services for those clients who may already have their plans, but are looking for that extra helping hand

through the exterior & Interior selection process for hard surface materials, light fixtures, & furniture selections.  Our Architectural & Interior Designer can help you tie up those final details & help you choose

your selections with confidence that once delivered & installed it will be a seamless process & while educating our clients about the process.  Starting a project from the ground up is a very special experience and one that I grateful to be apart of as I help families though the journey of building their own home, that is truly designed just for them.   Using tools from Architecture & Interior Design, we deliver one of a kind design solutions and custom home plan sets that are carefully crafted and drawn so that the home's interior and exterior reflect and balance the functionality and beauty found in a thoughtful livable space.

They want to make sure you are confident about your selections by sending samples right to your door, once selected that excitement can start to build as you are one step closer to reveal day.

Designer For the Day

At HIL we offer several levels of Architectural & Interior Design services accommodating clients at

all stages in the home building process. We offer a variety of service levels, depending on when a

client comes to us looking for help & advise during their home building journey. HIL main bread &

butter service is custom home plans, but for today’s post let’s put a spotlight on our other services

we provide for our clients.  If you found HIL after already having your house plans whether having

purchased them from a website, picked from your builder’s catalog of plans, or had your custom

home drawn up by an architect, architectural designer or drafter, HIL can still be an consultant on

your project with our “Designer by your Side or Designer for the Day” hourly services. 

We offer Architectural Selections & Interior Design Services that would be helpful during the final stages of construction. Once your home is dried in (has a roof & walls) when selections for interior & exterior materials are being made for your home such as: light fixtures, entry doors, friendship entry doors, garage doors, windows, color & type of roofing material, shutters, stucco, hardie board, brick, tile, tile patterns (examples: shower wall, floor in laundry room, kitchen stove backsplash), wall coverings, paint, cabinetry, cabinet hardware, and door hardware, etc. need to be selected or if you need a professional to review your selections to make sure they will all come together seamlessly at the end or that extra bit of confidence before purchasing. HIL also can help with finding those additional furniture piece selections for your new home that are to the trade only with procurement & purchasing we can help!

​​

A lot of home builders have design packages with pre selected fixtures/materials for their clients to pick from for their home. Those packages, most of the time, are not a one size fits all selection situation. There are better options available with higher quality materials for a similar price tag, if only you had known right? If you find yourself asking, for this $ allowance, is there bettter options fitting more to our style? Are you questioning or want assurance that what you have picked will go together or want a design professional to give you that 2nd opinion, please don’t hesitate to reach out. Our “Designer for the Day” has an 8 hour time block, and “Designer by Your Side” is in an 10,15,20, etc. time blocks of billable hours. Hope this helps explain our other design services available.  

Designer By Your Side

Every project we create is centered on the people, yet few forms of architecture are more intimate than a custom home. After a long day, you come home to unwind. It could also be where you do your best work or play like there's no tomorrow. It could include outdoor areas. It's where you're raising your children — or plan to raise them. Perhaps it's your ideal, child-free haven. Your current home may be just a pit stop, an investment until you embark on your next adventure. Perhaps it's your "Forever Home," and you'd like to age in place. Whether you want to remodel a house to fit your changing lifestyle, optimize and personalize your home in ways you've never had the opportunity to before, or simply make a few tactical updates — we've got you covered.  We aim to design spaces that graciously accommodate and reflect every aspect of our clients' individuality—from daily routines to inspirations and values—by seeking an understanding of your needs and wants that extends far beyond a list of rooms and requirements' also aim to guide you through the entire messy adventure of building your new home.
