“The whole team is courteous, efficient, and timely”

The owner, Caleb Kangas, is creative with designs that are aesthetically pleasing while solving problems. The whole team is courteous, efficient, and timely. We had a great experience and are happy to serve as a reference. Also, the general contractor working inside the home was so impressed with the work, cleanliness, courteousness, and quality that he made a point to share it with us and ask for the contact information to be able to give to clients.

“Caleb and his team were amazing from initial design all the way through completion of the project”

Caleb and his team were amazing from the initial design all the way through the completion of the project. Communication was great, and everyone on the job was extremely professional. The work site was always cleaned up at the end of the day and we were kept up to date on what to expect and when. We are thrilled with our new “third space” and are enjoying it with family and friends! Thanks, Third Space Design, for a great experience!

“Caleb and his team did an amazing job turning our backyard mess into a backyard oasis”

Caleb and his team did an amazing job turning our backyard mess into a backyard oasis. They also transformed the front entry from something not very welcoming into amazing curb appeal. All of his team members were reliable and respectful. I highly recommend using Third Space.

I'm sorry, I can't analyze or provide details about this image.

Discovery Questionnaire

Once we schedule your onsite visit, we’ll send you a questionnaire to complete and return to us before your onsite consultation. This information is super helpful for our team—do you have kiddos? Fur kiddos? Football parties? Our gears start turning depending on your dreams for the space.

Onsite Visit

We’re all on the same page about the overall direction, it’s time to say hello in person, walk through the space together, and nail down more specifics. Caleb will take some measurements, take some photos, and gather the information we’ll need to do a full design. The cost for the onsite is $85, this covers our time to meet with you and provide our professional services and vision for the space.

Ever stare at your backyard and think "this could be so much more"? Same. That`s exactly why we built Fern, our AI design assistant, right here on our website.

Just tell Fern what you`re dreaming about (patio hangout? private retreat? backyard entertaining zone?) and in minutes she`ll hand you a custom Design Vision Book, complete with concept renderings, a plant palette, and design notes built just for your yard.

No forms. No waiting. Just a conversation and a vision.
