Cincinnati Residential Design + Build Team
Thoughtful Design,
Built to Last.
Remodeling your home should feel exciting, not overwhelming.
At JLM Design Build, we guide Cincinnati homeowners through a clear and collaborative process that combines thoughtful design, practical construction expertise, and fixed-price contracts you can trust.
By keeping design and construction under one roof, we simplify communication, streamline decision-making, and deliver spaces that are both beautiful and functional.
From the first conversation to the final walkthrough, our goal is simple: make the experience as rewarding as the finished space.
About JLM Design Build
Founder Nick Wendt started JLM Design Build in 2017 with a simple idea: homeowners deserve a better building experience.
With a background in high-end residential construction, Nick built JLM to provide a more professional, organized, and seamless process for Cincinnati homeowners.
Today the team specializes in full renovations and additions, managing projects from initial design through final inspection with clarity, structure, and attention to detail.
Small team. Hands-on leadership. No surprises.
