Here's a preview of the remodel experience for potential new clients, outlining each step to help them understand what to expect:
- Consultation: The journey begins with an initial consultation where we discuss your remodeling ideas, needs, and budget. This is an opportunity for us to understand your vision and for you to ask any preliminary questions about the project.
- In-House Meeting: Next, we schedule an in-house meeting to get a closer look at your space. During this visit, we assess the area to better define the scope of the project and take basic measurements. Our experts are happy to make suggestions that can either improve upon the original vision, help to provide a more timeless result, or even just to help keep you within your budget. During this step we will also discuss your families needs, as well as discuss logistical concerns such as parking, defining acceptable work hours, and more.
- Estimation: Based on our consultation and in-house meeting, we provide a preliminary estimate. This estimate gives you a ballpark figure of the costs involved and helps you decide if you’d like to proceed.
- Project Approval: Once you’re comfortable with the initial estimate, you approve the project to move forward. This step involves confirming your commitment and agreeing to the terms outlined. A down payment, which varies by project, is provided at this time.
- Initial Drawings: We then create initial drawings based on your requirements and preferences. These drawings help visualize the proposed work scope and ensure we’re on the same page before proceeding. In some cases this will require a second site visit, potentially with additional personnel.
- Project Specification: In this step, we detail the project specifications, including materials, finishes, and construction methods. This ensures that every aspect of the project is clearly defined and agreed upon. This aides in eliminating unnecessary costs associated with change orders.
- Product Selections: You’ll choose the specific products and materials for your remodel, such as fixtures, flooring, and cabinetry. We provide guidance and recommendations to help you make informed decisions.
- Establish Timeline: We develop a project timeline, outlining key milestones and expected completion dates. This timeline helps manage expectations and ensures that the project stays on track.
- Updated Estimate: After finalizing product selections and project specifications, we provide an updated estimate reflecting any changes. This ensures transparency regarding the final costs.
- Materials Procurement: We will order and procure all necessary materials based on your selections. This step ensures that everything needed for the project is on hand and ready for installation. Having everything we need up-front will help us to deliver the project much faster.
- On-Site Project Review: Before starting the actual work, we conduct an on-site review to confirm all details are correct and address any last-minute adjustments. This ensures a smooth transition into the construction phase.
- Project Begins: With everything in place, the construction phase begins. Our team works according to the established timeline and project specifications to bring your vision to life.
- Project Expectations: Throughout the project, we maintain open communication to manage expectations, address any concerns, and keep you updated on progress.
- Project Completion: Finally, upon completion, we conduct a thorough review to ensure everything meets your satisfaction. We address any final touches or adjustments and ensure you’re happy with the end result.
