Sterling Renovations & Design owners Julie and David Walsh said they work together to bring their clients’ dreams to reality. The Walsh couple said that no matter the size of the project, which could be anything from remodeling a bathroom to constructing a home from the ground up, the husband-and-wife duo work alongside their customers to ensure they are getting everything they envisioned, and then some. “We help our clients with the selection of materials, the layout, everything,” Julie said. “They can do as little or as much as they want on the project.” Five years ago Southlake-based Stonehouse and Associates rebranded as Sterling Renovations & Design, a full-service luxury design-build firm. The company has 10 employees, including Southlake residents David and Julie. The firm services Colleyville, Grapevine, Southlake, Westlake and Keller, Julie said. David, who began his career in 1982, said as time fades, so do trends. However, a home can always be remodeled. Julie and David said about 90 percent of their customer base wants a transitional to soft modern look. “Everyone wants light and bright and clean lines right now,” Julie said. Open floor plans and spacious chef’s kitchens are also in, she said. David and Julie said they have many repeat clients, and half of their clientele this year are referrals. “Each house is a different challenge, and our biggest challenge is to make sure that we make the client happy,” Julie said. “When we walk away, they [will] have a house that they will love.” Bringing the vision to life For the past three years, Sterling Renovations & Design has offered its clients computer-aided design 3-D renderings to help them see what is being envisioned. “People expect, after HGTV, the 3-D renderings like on ‘Property Brothers,’ and that’s what we can bring to the table now,” Julie said. “[3-D renderings have] been helpful for our business. It’s been helpful for our clients.” Today, the renderings are created by David and Julie’s daughter, Catherine. “She’s got as much talent in her pinky finger as all of us do [combined],” David said. “She’s good. The future is very bright with this company. It will continue to grow.”
