Our first step is to meet you at the project site to discuss your project with these two objectives. First, we want to capture your vision for the project. Secondly, we want to confirm the vision and space are compatible. If not, we can explore options.
We will gather information about the existing space and prepare preliminary concept drawings. We’ll present our initial concept to you and listen to your feedback. Once we’ve landed on a strong concept we can move forward into the next phase of our design process.
Now that a concept has been established we need to further define it by making material and fixture selections. This typically means visiting our suppliers to select things like countertops, cabinetry styles and finishes, plumbing fixtures, flooring, tile etc. This is a highly collaborative process where we can get expert advice on specific areas of your remodel from other industry professionals. Depending on the scope of your project we will also bring in an architect or engineer if necessary.
As we make selections we will also be gathering pricing information and putting together a detailed contract. The project contract includes drawings and a detailed scope of work based on the selections and design choices we made along the way. If everything looks good and you are ready to get started, we will ask you to sign the contract and give us a down payment. This sets things in motion for us to order materials and schedule your project.
This is where all that planning pays off. We have a trusted and highly skilled network of tradespeople who can complete the site work. We pride ourselves in our ability to keep our fingers on the pulse of our projects. From demolition to final inspection you will be in the loop of what is happening at the job site and how work is progressing.
A common frustration for many homeowners going through a home renovation is that site work is sporadic and inconsistent. While projects often begin with strong momentum, they can gradually lose steam and even come to a halt over time. One of our core strengths is our ability to maintain momentum on a project. We are a small team so we can pay close attention to each project and make sure things keep moving steadily until they’re finished.
Throughout the course of a remodel project, it's common for punch list and service items to arise.These may include minor adjustments or additional tasks necessary to achieve best results. We prioritize prompt and thorough resolution of such items during and following site work, ensuring that our clients are fully satisfied with the final outcome of their renovation projects.

our commitments
Client-Centered Pricing
The first step in planning your remodel is establishing a budget. Many of our clients come to us not knowing how much the project they have in mind is going to cost. That's why from our first meeting through our design and planning process we work to reach a real world project cost based on your actual design choices and material selections. Our objective is to provide you with the best value for your investment with clear definitions of your selections and scope. We believe our unique approach allows you to stay in control of the cost of your project.
Top-Notch Site Team
We pride ourselves in maintaining a strong network of tradespeople and craftsman who practice their craft with passion. Our partnership with these persons and businesses is based on their ability to provide a high standard of quality and efficiency in their service and trade. We have developed a sense of camaraderie within this team and you will likely pick up on their enthusiasm and charisma when you interact with them. Beyond being licensed and insured we have an additional agreement with them to perform their work to our expectations. They are committed to working hard to help us reach our goals and will do their best work for our clients.
Environmental Sustainability
Although remodeling can generate a lot of waste we believe it is important to do our part in reducing and reusing materials whenever possible.
Donating and selling existing fixtures and cabinetry.
We do our best to preserve the existing fixtures and cabinetry that are going to be removed during a remodel project. We often donate fixtures and cabinets to our local Habitat for Humanity to be sold in their REstore or to be used in a restoration project. Services like Craigslist and Facebook Marketplace have also made it easy for homeowners to sell fixtures and earn a little extra cash.
Use of high quality goods.
In many cases higher quality goods are made with better materials which in turn increases their overall life cycle. That means potential waste is reduced because fixtures will not wear out or break compared to poorer quality products.
Minimizing waste.
Whether it's reusing paper floor coverings and plastic sheeting or separating recyclable materials so they can be disposed of at a recycling center, we do what we can to reduce the amount of waste that we produce on a project.
We value the relationships we have with excellent manufacturers, suppliers and tradespeople. Their knowledge and expertise helps us provide superior quality and service to the homeowners we work with.
