An Overview of Our Remodeling Process

Timeline from your first home vist to final walkthrough and how we keep you updated.

The Ideal Remodeling Process

Careful planning, clean jobsites, clear schedules, daily site visits, and zero punchlists.

How Long Will It Take?

The whole process, including estimate, design, permits, ordering and construction can take 4-8 months from the time of your initial phone call.

BuilderTrend Schedule

We will build a detailed project calendar for you so you always know what to expect. 

Timeline From Estimate To Project Completion:

 

1. Initial Estimate & Design Concept:  1 – 2 weeks

Includes 3D concept drawings and a good better best budget.

2. Design:  5 – 8 weeks

We’ll have 2 – 4 design meetings in our showroom to finalize all the details and create a fixed price proposal.

3. Ordering & Receiving: 6 – 12  weeks

We want all materials in our warehouse before we start construction to avoid unecessary delays.  Windows and cabinets take the longest.

4. Pre-Construction Meeting

About 3 weeks before project start we will have a meeting in your home to go over job site set up details (parking, potty location, entry, clean up areas, etc…)

After the meeting we’ll send you our ‘how to prepare’ document that has some great tips for packing, creating a temporary kitchen and reducing the stress of the remodel, 

5. Construction: 6 – 16 weeks

We’ll create a detailed project schedule so you know what to expect and we are on site every day until the project is complete. 

You’ll get an email every morning letting you know the plan for the day and an email every afternoon with a progress pictures. 

We will schedule a formal walkthrough with you, the designer and your project manager every 2-3 weeks. 

6. Follow Up and Warranty – 5 Years

After your project is complete we will touch base after 6 months, and annually for our 5 year warranty period to make sure things are still working as expected.
