Sometimes the road to updating or expanding your home isn’t easy. With Karr Bick Kitchen & Bath, you can trust that you ’ ll have a team working with you and for you every step of the way.

“ We tell people construction is an art, not a science,” explains co-owner Jenny Rausch. “There are so many unknowns and problems you never thought would be involved. With all of our services under one roof, you know who to go to when something goes wrong. ”

One unforeseen problem was when a client had cabinets that were too tall to fit up the stairs or in the elevator. Instead, Rausch explains that they had to get creative, placing the cabinet on top of the elevator to get it up to the third f loor. During a bathroom remodel for a different client, a new bathtub arrived far heavier than anyone had anticipated.

“ You couldn’t pick it up and get up the stairs – we had to take a window out in the bathroom and rent a machine to send it through,” she says. “It’s things like that – a comedy of juggling and problem-solving.”

Karr Bick has been in the construction business since Rausch and her husband took ownership in 2006, followed by the addition of an interior design department. Their motto is #NothingOrdinary and they pride themselves on creating spaces unique to each client, always with the highest level of quality

By having the construction team and designers all under one roof, clients can rest assured knowing that when problems arise, there is a clear line of communication and a dedicated team working to take care of it.

“ We try to insulate the client,” Rausch says. “ We do work with other contractors on occasion, but there becomes this idea of ‘not taking full responsibility ’ when you do that. Our team works very well together and everyone has each other’s backs. This makes the working environment so much better. We’re very accessible.”

Rausch concludes that from getting a tub into a second-f loor bathroom to space planning to picking out the perfect colors and fabrics, Karr Bick succeeds at problem-solving, leaving you with a space you ’ ll never want to leave.
