How We Work

Know exactly what to expect.

Remodeling shouldn’t feel like a leap of faith. Here’s our design-build process, step by step — one team carrying your project from the first phone call to the final walkthrough.

Our Process

From first call to finished home.

One team carries your project the whole way. Here’s how it flows, step by step.

1

Initial Contact

It starts with a conversation. Reach out by phone or through our site and we’ll talk through your project, answer your early questions and schedule an in-home consultation.

2

In Home Consultation

During this visit we will review the layout of the space, design ideas, finish materials, your specific needs, wants, and budget. Based on our discussion, you will receive a rough budget range for the project.

3

Pre-Construction Services Agreement

If you’d like to proceed, we’ll enter into a Pre-Construction Services Agreement which covers permit ready floor plans, coordination of design and finish material selections, detailed investment cost, progress payment schedule, and an estimated construction time frame. The investment of the Pre-Construction Services Agreement varies based on the size of the project.

4

Project Approval

Once plans, finish material selections and the detailed estimate are approved, the project moves into the construction phase.

5

Pre-Construction & Scheduling

Any required permits are applied for, material is ordered, and the project schedule is finalized to ensure a smooth start.

6

Start of Construction

Construction begins with protecting your home in and around the project area, material delivery, and project setup. Throughout the project, we’ll provide regular updates to keep you informed every step of the way.

7

Project Completion

Upon completion, we’ll walk through the project together ensuring everything meets your expectations.
