Alex Mericle
Your home is personal. The way it's renovated should feel personal, too.
I started Mericle Design + Build to give Chicago homeowners a clearer, more personal way to renovate. From the first idea through the final walkthrough, my goal is to make the experience organized, understandable, and grounded in honest communication.
Before launching the company, I spent more than six years at BuildZoom and later worked at Buildern, where I worked closely with builders and remodelers across the country. That experience showed me what successful projects consistently have in common: thoughtful planning, honest communication, trusted trade partners, and clear accountability.
Those principles shape how I run every project. I stay personally involved from the first walkthrough through the final details, keeping homeowners informed and the work moving forward. My goal is simple: deliver a beautiful, well-built space — and an experience you would feel confident recommending to a friend.
Let's bring clarity to your project.
Whether your project is fully defined or still taking shape, tell us what you're considering. Alex will personally follow up within one business day to learn about your home, understand your goals, and discuss the best next step.
