Winkelman Design has been remodeling Columbus homes for thirty-five years with a particular focus on the diverse homes of Clintonville; as well as Upper Arlington, Bexely, Dublin, and Worthington, and the architecturally specific neighborhoods of German Village and Victorian Village. We do quality remodeling with a focus on detail.

We specialize in finding solutions to making your existing home fit your present needs and lifestyle, as well as planning for future growth as your lifestyle changes. We will gladly help with minor maintenance items or redo that bathroom or kitchen you've always wanted. But we have also successfully created and executed up to ten-year plans for clients staging their renovations so they met both their family needs and their financial means.

We are licensed, bonded and insured. We are adept at working with neighborhood architectural revue committees as well as local building departments. We create all our own plans and drawings for all our projects so that you can clearly see exactly how things will look.

We are a small company so we can give personal attention to your project. Leo Winkelman personally does all consultations as well as all the designs. He also personally supervises all projects. When you hire us, you get us. We still do much of the work ourselves and we also have great subcontractors who have worked with us for years. Our remodeling crews are professional and courteous. We take great pride in keeping a neat, clean, and tidy job site keeping the impact on the rest of the house to a minimum. We are great with pets and children and are respectful of your privacy. We never forget that where we work is not just a house, but it's your home.

We are very open with our pricing, itemizing all components so you know exactly what everything costs, even our overhead and profit is spelled out. We try to take the mystery out of remodeling bids so you can compare costs in a straight up fashion. We are also very adept at designing within your budget to give you the most work for what you can afford.

We hope you give us an opportunity to meet with you and help you with your remodeling needs. Call and set up an appointment today, the consult is free.

### Reviews

**★★★★★ — HU-534781668, April 2021**

> Tony is by far the most considerate and intelligent contractor to ever set foot in my house. He arived promptly and completed our installations exactly within the time frame provided in the estimate. Tony and his team went above and beyond, handling a couple little things we didn't ask for simply because they were done wrong by the previous owner. We feel very lucky to have found such a warm and competent individual in our search for a contractor.

**★★★★★ — Jeff Cross, May 2020**

> Leo and his crew did a fantastic job on a whole house renovation project in 2018/19. Leo has a laid back and organic approach to his work. His eye for design and style is excellent, yet he listened to our wishes and ideas without hesitation. The whole crew is very quality focused and they are also fun to be around. We actually miss them being around our house and we've had them back for some little follow-up projects!

**★★★★★ — robin5982, March 2020**

> Leo and his team have done fantastic work from start to finish on several projects in our home, including a major remodel of our basement (adding a wine cellar, updating bathroom, etc.), and our kitchen. I highly recommend them to anyone. The quality of work is superb. They are detail oriented; great to work with; always prompt; effective with communications; and the entire team is professional and courteous. With major remodeling projects, unforeseen issues can occur. During the kitchen remodel, a major problem arose with the countertop fabricator. Leo worked endlessly to resolve this issue in our favor. In my opinion, this is exactly the type of contractor you want, and that we will use on future projects.

**★★★★★ — Jim Davis, Jan. 2020**

> We have had Winkelman Design complete two projects - a kitchen and bathroom.  Both projects were gut jobs.  We were very happy with the work and design.  The crew is top notch.  They are professional and very considerate.
>
> We have referred Winkelman Design to 5 or 6 friends who have been very happy with their projects as well.  Highly recommended.

**★★★★★ — Russell Lepley, Oct. 2019**

> Leo and company helped us renovate the former Clintonville Community Market into our business Flux + Flow Dance and Movement Center. They were kind, incredibly professional and worked with us to find creative solutions that worked within our budget. They end result was fantastic and we are incredibly grateful. Highly recommended.

**★★★★ — Ann Mulvany, Dec. 2018**

> Leo and his team did an excellent job removing the wall between our kitchen and dining room. In spite of the fact that the job ended up requiring more electrical work than we initially expected, they completed the project on-budget. It did take a bit longer than anticipated but still very happy with the work and glad we chose to use them.

**★★★★★ — Clintonville, OH Resident Clintonville, OH, Resident, Nov. 2018**

> Winkelman Design upgraded our bathroom within the agreed contract terms. Based on the firm’s recommendations, the bathroom is gorgeous and much easier to clean. The staff is experienced, professional, polite, and neat. At the end of each workday, the area was always clean and construction items were stored away. The company returns calls and emails quickly and stands behind its guarantee. While working on the bathroom, the team also did two requested handyman jobs—installed new door handles throughout the house and hung a mailbox. It is refreshing to work with a contract firm that returns calls and emails promptly and fulfills its promises in a polite and professional manner. We are pleased with Winkelman Design and will use them again for future home improvements.

**★★★★★ — Virgin Landscape LLC, Feb. 2018**

> I have known Leo Winkleman Design to be a highly skilled, reputable and reliable company for many years.  We have collaborated on several projects over the years with consistently excellent results and I refer him exclusively to my own clients for design and/or finish carpentry work for both inside and outside the home.  I am always impressed with the beautiful results he produces with his creative and thoughtful designs.  He recently completed an in-home  consultation and design for my home.   Leo's extensive knowledge and immense talent were evident in the recommendations he made and his attention to our budgetary constraints.  I highly recommend Leo and his team...5 star results!

**★★★★★ — Gabriel Guyer, Dec. 2017**

> I cannot recommend this company enough. The quality of the work, the speed in which they work, the personal touch, and the consideration they showed for my home and needs were outstanding! We had to completely refloor the room in addition to the layout changes due to poor construction by the previous owner, and they knocked it out of the park. They did such an excellent job that I have already called them back for another project! Plus they're local and I appreciate that on a personal level :) 5 stars all day long!

**★★★★★ — John Reemtsen, March 2017**

> This is the second project we've contracted Leo and his wonderful team for.  The first project was a basement finish, this one is a kitchen remodel.  As with the first project, the team did an impeccable job.  Leo is very knowledgable and provided lots of ideas that we hadn't thought of.  His direction helped us avoid some potential pitfalls.  Leo does an excellent job of staying close to the quoted budget so there are no unpleasant surprises at the end.  Another important thing to note is that Leo's crew is not only highly qualified, they are very pleasant to deal with.  They are very kid-friendly and you will feel comfortable having them in your house.  If you've ever had a multi-week project going in your house before, you know how important that is.  We are so pleased with Winkelman Design we will be beginning our 3rd project (hardwood floors) with them very soon!

**★★★★★ — Sue Zeanah, Feb. 2017**

> Leo and his team exceeded our expectations in their work and professionalism on our kitchen remodel. My wife and I had very specific things we wanted and other things we had no idea what we wanted. Through it all we had complete trust in Leo to offer us his professional and honest feedback and guidance. Winkelman Design gave us many options throughout the project to ensure we were not only getting what we wanted, but were staying within our budget as well. They were patient with our worries and questions and listened when we had ideas and were beyond flexible with the hiccups that come with a remodel! Winkelman Design made our dream kitchen come true, even on the budget limitations we had! If you are looking for a professional who is trustworthy, dependable, reliable and does outstanding work, look no further!

**★★★★★ — Katy Zeanah, Feb. 2017**

> Leo and his team were an absolutely pleasure to work with. Leo listened to our ideas, helped us come up with a plan to fit our needs, and worked hard to ensure that we stayed within the budget we had identified. The guys that did the work in the kitchen were great as well -- always cleaned everything up at the end of the day and took care to make sure that everything was done right. We absolutely love our final product and will definitely be contacting Winkelman Design when we have another project!
