Warranty + Forever Home Care
3-Year Warranty Offers Confidence + Peace of Mind
At the conclusion of your project, Sun Design will prepare your Warranty Package. This package includes all original final inspection paperwork, a copy of the permit, and your warranty certificate. We promise to make sure that our warranty is properly managed for you.
Should you require assistance, please call the office and ask to speak with Maryam, Client Support Manager, for initial warranty scheduling. From there, Jeff Nichols, Warranty & Services Manager, will coordinate all repairs that are part of the warranty coverage.
Forever Home Care (FHC)
Our partnership goes beyond the project:
- Seasonal Home Maintenance
- Small Projects/Honey-Do Lists
- Accessibility Upgrades
We also offer free in-home evaluations to past clients who want assistance in identifying home maintenance needs, want to prevent major damage, or simply want to put together a home care and improvement plan. Please note that in some cases we perform the work with our own team members and in other cases we will utilize trusted trade partners for either a full day or a half day rate. It just makes sense to offer a proactive preventive maintenance program to our clients that not only could save thousands of dollars in the long run, but also the inconvenience of dealing with major home care repairs at an unexpected time. The Forever Home Care program provides that peace of mind.
We look forward to discussing your home care needs and continuing to work with you.

exceptional relationships, to propel Sun Design as a business leader with an amazing legacy

Why Us
Sun Design brings all the tools to the table, removing the stress from the renovation process and keeping the impact of clients’ busy lives to a minimum.
You want a professional perspective on what can be done creatively to transform your living space, but, once decided, you want a contractor you can trust to complete the job as outlined while staying within the final budget. Regular consultation is appreciated, as well as being apprised of the unexpected, but you don’t have the time or opportunity to be constantly monitoring the project. This is why you need a contractor you can trust.
With Sun Design, you don’t have to worry about finding the right materials or subcontractors to bring your project to fruition. Sun Design provides expert guidance: from project design to selecting materials, to bringing in the right specialists to complete the job.
