A calm, predictable remodeling process.
Five phases, in order, with clear deliverables at each step. The point isn't ceremony — it's that you always know where the project stands.
Consultation
A no-pressure walkthrough at your home or the property. We listen first — how you use the space, what isn't working, what a successful project looks like for you. We share what's realistic in your budget range and timeline. If we're not the right fit, we'll say so.
- Site walkthrough
- Initial scope conversation
- Honest range of cost and timeline
Design & Scope
We translate the conversation into drawings, material selections, and a written line-item scope. For larger projects we use a design agreement so design time is properly compensated, and we apply that fee against the construction contract if you proceed.
- Floor plans and elevations
- Material and fixture selections
- Line-item written scope and proposal
Permits & Pre-Construction
We pull permits, coordinate engineering if needed, finalize long-lead orders, schedule trades, and protect the rest of your home. You receive a written week-by-week timeline before demolition.
- Submitted permits and plan-check responses
- Trade and material schedule
- Site protection plan
Build
One project manager runs the job. The same crew is on the site, day to day. You get a written progress update every Friday — what was done, what's next, what we need from you. Job sites are protected, swept, and locked at the end of each day.
- Daily site protection and cleanup
- Weekly written progress reports
- Documented change orders
Punch List & Closeout
We walk the project with you, write down every item to address, and don't request final payment until they're all complete. You receive warranty documentation, care guides, and a contractor you can still reach by phone.
- Final walk-through
- Punch-list completion
- Warranty and care documentation
What we don't do
A few things we'd rather be clear about up front:
- We don't bid by lump sum. Everything is line-itemed so you see what you're paying for.
- We don't make scope changes verbally. Every change order is written, with cost and schedule impact, before work proceeds.
- We don't ship work that didn't pass our own walk. The punch list closes before final invoice.
- We don't promise the impossible. If a timeline or budget isn't realistic, we'll say so before you sign.
