Our Design-Build Process

We bring more than 30 years of experience to every home remodeling project. Our design-build process simplifies what can often feel overwhelming, giving you a clear and confident path from concept to completion.

From kitchen updates and bathroom redesigns to full home transformations, our process ensures your project is completed with care, precision, and respect for your time and budget.

Step 1: Initial Consultation

Every project begins with a complimentary consultation lasting 30 to 60 minutes. This meeting helps us understand:

  • Your goals and vision

  • The project timeline and budget

  • Design preferences and style

  • How does your space support your daily life

This conversation gives us the foundation to build a personalized plan that fits both your needs and your home.

Step 2: Design Phase

Once a design agreement is in place, we begin developing your custom design using detailed site measurements and our 3D CAD software. This technology allows you to visualize the final result before construction begins.

During this stage, we also:

  • Guide you through material and product selections

  • Coordinate site visits with subcontractors and suppliers if needed

  • Finalize design details and prepare a comprehensive cost analysis

Your cost analysis will include a clear timeline and payment schedule, attached to your contract as an addendum.

Step 3: Pre-Production

Before construction starts, we enter the pre-production phase. This is where we fine-tune all the moving parts and ensure every piece is in place.

During this step, we:

  • Confirm final product selections

  • Place special orders

  • Secure and manage all required permits

  • Schedule a pre-construction walkthrough with you

  • Prepare the work area for a smooth construction experience

Step 4: Construction

With materials ready and plans approved, construction begins. We work efficiently and respectfully to minimize disruption to your daily life.

Key features of our construction phase include:

  • A clean worksite maintained with the BuildClean Air Cleaning System

  • Regular check-ins with you to review progress and address questions

  • Full project management from start to finish

Before we finish, we schedule a punch-list walkthrough to ensure all details meet your expectations. Your home should feel complete and ready for you to enjoy.

Step 5: Post-Production and Warranty

Once construction wraps up, we focus on making sure everything is polished and protected.

Our post-production phase includes:

  • A final walkthrough and inspection

  • Complete documentation and warranty information

  • Professional maid service cleaning for your new space

We also schedule a 12-month follow-up visit to handle any settling, expansion, or minor touch-ups. This visit includes caulking, drywall repair, and paint touch-ups at no charge.

Every project comes with:

  • Manufacturer warranties for materials and products

  • Our own workmanship warranty for peace of mind
