Design Build Remodeling Contractors

About two weeks in most cases. 

We can usually schedule a your initial consult within a week of your discovery call. After the initial home visit it takes about a week for us to create your initial 3D concepts and good better best budget. Then we will meet with you to review them.

While a lot of remodeling contractors are vague about when they will get an estimate to you we have a very defined process so you will know exactly what to expect and when.

We can usually start the design process within 4 weeks of you approving your budget. Actual construction usually starts between 2 and 4 months after design is complete.

A lot of remodeling contractors want to start the project as soon as possible and will often start before all materials are ordered or even before the design is complete. But that almost always leads mistakes, cost over-runs and delays in the middle of the project.

We prefer to complete all design work and order all your materials before the project starts. Everything is delivered to our warehouse so it can be checked for quality and shipping damage and we don’t have any unecessary delays on site.

We’ve tried it both ways and feel we get better results using qualified trade partners.

We used to have in house installers but it was difficult for a small team of installers to be expert in all the skills needed from demo to drywall, finish carpentry, painting etc… So we were getting mixed results in project quality depending on the scope of work.

By using sub contractors who specialize in just one trade we’ve been able to increase the quality of workmanship and avoid delays during construction.

We have a thorough vetting process for all new subs and we work to develop long term relationships with everyone we choose to work with.

Our trade partners are as much a part of our team as our designers and project managers and they are involved in each project early in the design process so we can take advantage of their expertise in design as well as in construction.

I would say you don’t hire us for the lowest price, you hire us for the best experience and results. Like the old saying goes… the cheapest price is not always the lowest cost.

But unlike other remodeling contractors our estimates are detailed and realistic so there won’t be any surprise costs or misunderstanding during construction.

During our initial consult we will review a Good Better Best budget that outlines in detail all the costs associated with your project so you can understand everything involved and make an informed decision about your project.
