Freelance Interior Designer for Remodeling Contractor (Fast Turnaround, Finish Selections)

Other Jobs To Apply

No other job posts for this day.

**Overview:**

CasaKeepers Design & Remodel is a residential design-build remodeling company based in Texas. We’re looking for a **reliable freelance interior designer** to support active remodeling projects with **specific, client-ready finish selections** on a per-project basis.

This is not speculative or conceptual design work. These are **real homes with construction timelines**, and we need designers who can move quickly, stay organized, and make confident, buildable selections.

---

### What This Role Looks Like

Projects will vary in size and scope, but typically include:

* Kitchen remodels

* Bathroom remodels

* Whole-home or partial-home renovations

* Accurate Cabinet plans with elevations and renderings.

Each project is different. Sometimes you’ll jump in early to help finalize finishes; other times you’ll be supporting a project already underway that needs selections tightened up fast.

---

### Primary Responsibilities

Depending on the project, you may be asked to:

* Select **specific finishes** (tile, slab material, flooring, cabinetry style and layout, countertops, plumbing fixtures, hardware, paint colors, lighting etc)

* Create **clear, client-ready selection boards or schedules**

* Work within **real-world constraints** (budget, availability, lead times)

* Coordinate selections to support construction documents and ordering

* Turn feedback quickly (often within days, not weeks)

---

### What We’re Prioritizing

* **Fast turnaround** — responsiveness matters

* **Decisive finish selections**, not endless options

* Experience with **remodeling constraints** (existing homes, trades, substitutions)

* Ability to work from partial direction (you won’t always get a clean slate)

* Strong attention to detail and organization

---

### What This Is *Not*

* This is not purely conceptual or “Pinterest-only” design work

* This is not staging or décor styling

* This is not a full-time role (project-based, ongoing as a contractor)

---

### Ideal Candidate

* Interior designer experienced with **residential remodels**

* Comfortable collaborating with a construction team

* Familiar with real product specs, not just visuals

* Able to work independently and hit deadlines without hand-holding

---

### How We’ll Start

We plan to:

* Start with **one paid test project**

* If it’s a good fit, continue with ongoing work across multiple clients

---

### To Apply

Please include:

1. A brief summary of your remodeling design experience

2. Examples of finish selections, cabinet plans or remodel-specific design work

3. Your general availability and typical turnaround time

Bonus points if you’ve worked with builders or design-build firms before.
