How it works
Our remodeling process
Six stages, each with a clear purpose. Design and selections are finished, and permits are in hand, before construction begins, so fewer decisions are made in a hurry.
The six stages
- 01
Consultation
A free in-home visit to measure, see existing conditions and talk through goals and budget.
- We measure the space and photograph existing conditions.
- We talk through your wish list, priorities and budget.
- We identify opportunities and constraints, such as wall removal or plumbing locations.
- 02
Design
Layout options with 3D renderings so you can see the room before anything is ordered.
- Layout options built around how you use the room.
- 3D renderings of the proposed design.
- Revisions until the plan is right.
- 03
Selections & Proposal
Guidance choosing materials, then a detailed, line-item written estimate.
- Help selecting cabinetry, countertops, tile, fixtures and appliances, including showroom visits.

Pre-Construction
Permits filed, materials ordered and trades scheduled before demolition starts.

- Materials are ordered and delivery is scheduled.
- Trades are coordinated and you get a schedule before work begins.
- 05
