Welcome Detailed Solutions, Inc.

Tracy DeCarlo, owner of Detailed Solutions, Inc., and author of "Don't Forget The Linen Closets," has more than 12 years experience in the residential construction industry.  During this time, she has worked with many talented architects, builders, and designers, all of whom cared about their products and customers.  Nevertheless, Tracy knew that at the end of each building or remodeling project, despite the best efforts of everyone involved, most homeowners could spout off a laundry list of items they wished they had thought of before it was too late (for example, positioning of windows and doors to facilitate placement of furniture, identifying often overlooked locations for duplex power outlets, proper positioning of light and plumbing fixtures, etc., etc.).  This was not a list of exotic features.  On the contrary, it was almost a compilation of items related to function - the considerations and conveniences that make everyday life flow more smoothly.

Tracy formed Detailed Solutions to provide customers with consultation services aimed at proactively identifying the many functional components that are often overlooked during the design of a home.  Using techniques outlined in her book, along with detailed checklists and hands-on consulting services, Tracy helps homeowners take control of the construction budget process while at the same time creating a functional environment that meets their unique lifestyle needs.

Tracy is an excellent addition to the VISION House team because she provides us a unique skill set that compliments our goal of building an exemplary showcase home.  An added bonus to having Tracy on our team is that she's also certified to assess and score homes using the Florida Green Building Coalition's Green Standards which have been adopted by the Florida Home Builders Association as the official green standard for Florida's builders.  Tracy is also a certified Aging-in-Place Specialist.

As a member of the Home Builders Association of Metro Orlando and the Florida Green Building Coalition, Tracy addresses the functional aspects of home design and usage, including items such as energy efficiency, disaster mitigation, air quality, plumbing, electrical, lighting, and storage.  By working with homeowners to focus on their daily habits and preferences, Tracy helps them create living spaces that support and compliment their lifestyle, while at the same time teaching techniques to manage the bottom line.
