About MILLS
We’re on a mission to help homeowners remodel their homes with expert-backed tools and guidance.
Because you deserve to have a clear path forward—before you spend a dime on demo.
Our Story
MILLS was founded by a designer-led team with deep experience in interiors, construction, and technology—people who’ve lived the chaos of renovation firsthand and knew there had to be a better way to begin.
THE PROBLEM WE SOLVE
Home renovations are overwhelming—full of decisions, hidden costs, unreliable timelines, and contractors you’re not sure you can trust.
Most homeowners will tackle a remodel project once or twice in their lives. The low frequency of this event makes it difficult to become an expert at how to successfully sequence all of the pieces and parts of a home improvement project.
We believe that clarity should be easy to access.
OUR SOLUTION
MILLS delivers custom renovation plans in under an hour, helping you minimize expensive mistakes by giving you real insights to help tackle your renovation - whether you plan to DIY it or bring in outside experts. Either way, it helps to know what you’re getting into.
We combine design expertise, practical renovation logic, and smart technology to give homeowners a realistic, buildable roadmap.
The result? A professional-grade plan that saves you time, money, and second-guessing.
Our Team
We’re a small, design-led team passionate about helping people renovate with clarity, confidence, and great taste.
