**Price reduced and contracts in place to hand over to new owner**. Design Solutions started incorporating green into their designs as they had the foresight into where the industry was going. They saw the importance of designing to conserve resources, save on energy bills and live with healthy indoor air quality. Since 1986 they have built a reputation for the highest quality design and construction in all of their projects. Specializing in kitchens and bathrooms, but going as far as complete remodels, Design Solutions has designed and built at least 30 kitchens, 18 bathrooms, 22 additions, 15 complete condos, and 10 complete houses. The majority of their work comes from website and business referrals as well as regional advertising and promotion through vendors. Design Solutions operates out of a completely built out 1480 sq. ft. space in the heart of the Noe Valley neighborhood of San Francisco, a robust retail and accessible part of the city. The entire space is a showroom for the various products they sell and for the type of work they do. There are dozens of sample installations from manufacturers and cabinet makers and office space where 4-5 people can comfortably work. Design Solutions deals with a variety of high end eco-friendly countertop producers such as Richlight, Terazo, and IceStone, and cabinet producers such as Nickels, Neil Kelly, Wood Harbor, Medallion, and Collana Blu. The seller will assist with transition after the sale of the business. The green business certification will transfer to the new owners. The Office Manager will also be available to assist with the transition of the accounting and bookkeeping. For buyers looking to take their green architecture and construction career independent and open up their own shop, buying an existing company with a strong brand, reputation and customer and vendor base like Design Solutions will be the perfect opportunity.
