At Aslan Design & Build, we believe your home should continue to support your life
beautifully through every season. That is why founder Jeff Whitted, Allied ASID, CAPS,
brings a specialized understanding of how to create spaces that are not only attractive, but also safer, more functional, and easier to live in over time.
With more than 40 years of experience in design, renovation, and construction, Jeff has
always believed great design should serve real families. As a certified aging in place specialist, he brings added training in how to plan environments that help homeowners live more safely, independently, and comfortably in the place they know best: home.
The Certified Aging-in-Place Specialist (CAPS) designation is a professional credential developed by the National Association of Home Builders in partnership with AARP. It reflects training in the needs of older adults and in design strategies that support accessible, barrier-free, and practical living environments.
For Aslan clients, that means Jeff can guide remodeling decisions with long-term livability in mind. Whether you are planning for today’s comfort, preparing for a loved one’s needs, or simply wanting a home that works better for the future, Jeff helps turn those goals into thoughtful design solutions.
Jeff’s approach is personal as well as professional. As a father, grandfather, founder, and long-time designer, he understands that homes need to do more than look beautiful. They need to support everyday routines, reduce stress, and adapt to the people who live there.
His CAPS training strengthens that philosophy by helping him evaluate the details that matter most in daily life, including safer movement through the home, better function in kitchens and bathrooms, improved comfort on the main level, and design choices that make life easier without making the home feel clinical.
Aging-in-place design can be seamlessly integrated into a beautiful remodel. Depending on your home and goals, Jeff may recommend wider, easier-to-navigate pathways, improved lighting, more functional kitchens, barrier-free entries, first-floor living solutions, or bathroom updates designed for comfort, safety, and ease of use.
Every recommendation is shaped around your home, your family, and your long-term plans. The goal is never to create a space that feels institutional. The goal is to create a home that feels natural, welcoming, and ready to serve you well for years to come.
Many homeowners are asking an important question: How long do we want to stay in this home, and how can we make it work better for the future? Jeff helps answer that question through a design-build process grounded in clarity, care, and experience.
Because Aslan manages both design and construction, Jeff can help ensure that aging-in place ideas are considered from the beginning rather than added as an afterthought. That leads to better planning, more cohesive results, and a home that supports your lifestyle with lasting intention.
If you are planning a kitchen remodel, bathroom renovation, addition, or whole-home update and want guidance from a designer who understands both beauty and long-term function, Jeff is here to help.
