Our Approach TO The Remodeling Process
Your home is very personal, how you remodel it should be too
A Few Words About Our Approach
Planning and Design are an integral part of the process. Capturing all the details of the project, starting in the initial estimate process and continuing through design and construction.
Proactive Communication is Crucial: We prioritize consistent and transparent communication. This approach helps manage expectations and address concerns promptly.
Detailed Documentation Ensures Transparency and Accountability: Accurate working drawings, selection sheets and a detailed scope of work as well as daily project logs provide a comprehensive record of project progress, issues encountered, and their resolutions.
Organization and Scheduling Are Key: Well thought out project schedules help avoid conflicts, set clear expectations and keep project moving forward.

The design + build process is one approach to remodeling. You can also hire contractors, designers and work with material suppliers separately.

Our Remodeling Process Step By Step
1. Initial Consult: Explore Options, create Your Budget
Our estimate process is called a Design and Budget Consult. The goal is to help you understand the options and costs for your project.
It includes 3D design work and a good better best budget.
2. Approve Your Budget and Start The Design Process
Once you approve your budget and pay a 5% design retainer we will start the design process. We’ll have 3-4 design meetings to choose all your materials and finalize the design. Designers will work with your project manager to build the proejct schedule and send bids requests to our trade parnters create your fixed price proposal.
3. What Happens When Design Is Complete?
Handover Meeting. Your designer meets with your project manager several times during design but once the final contract is complete they have a formal handover meeting to go over details one last time.
After the meeting the project manager will reach out to our trade partners to update them on the schedule and the designer will apply for your permits.
Material ordering. We order all your materials within a week of your final meeting and store them in our warehouse. We will send you regular updates during the pre-construction phase to keep you updated.
Pre-construction meeting. About 3 weeks before the project starts we will schedule a pre-construction meeting with you at your home to go over project set up and the details of the first weeks schedule.
4. Construction & Project management
Your project manager is on site every day for quality control, to review plans with our installers, and to make sure the job site is staying clean and organized. They will send you daily project updates each morning, mid day and afternoon with pictures and action items.
5. Follow Up and Warranty
5 year warranty on all materials and labor.
On every project we build we provide an industry leading 5 year warranty on all materials and labor. We proactively follow up with you once a year to make sure things are still working as expected.
