Our Process
Initial Estimate
In our estimate appointment, we will meet you at the job site. We will listen to your ideas and provide consultation as requested on building codes, material options, and design considerations. In this meeting we try to gather as much information as possible, to provide you with an accurate quote. Once you approve the estimate, we move into the design phase.
Design
The design phase includes finalizing layouts, selecting material finishes, itemizing the scope of work and fine-tuning the estimated price for the project. For larger or more complex projects that require more work in the design phase, like full basement remodels, kitchen remodels, and new construction projects, we request a deposit for the design phase, that is later applied as a credit to the final payment.
Construction Contract
Drafting the construction contract is a collaborative process. We want to make sure we are all on the same page before we sign anything or collect the initial payment. Once we have a drafted contract that you are happy with, we will meet to sign the contract and collect the project down payment, which is typically 50% of the total project price.
Pull Permits & Order Materials
After signing the construction contract, our work begins. If we need to pull building permits before beginning work on the job site, we will keep you updated on this process. We also order special materials for your project, reducing delays once we begin working on site.
Execute the Project
Now the fun begins! Once we confirm a start date, we will begin working on your project. As we go, we will communicate with you about our progress, any changes, and any potential delays. We coordinate with our trusted subcontractors for electrical, plumbing and HVAC components of projects. We only work with subcontractors that we would feel comfortable working in our own home and that have all of the required licenses and liability insurance needed to conduct their work responsibly.
Done
Once the project is complete and has passed all final building inspections, we will send the final invoice. We may also share project photos with you to remember and share your remodeling journey.
