How it works

From first call to final walkthrough

Four stages. You always know which one you are in, what is happening next, and what it costs.

  1. 01

    Talk it through

    Tell us what you want to change. We ask the questions that decide the price before anyone comes out.

    Most of it happens on the phone. We ask what you want changed, roughly when you want to start, and what you have budgeted — because a five-minute conversation can save a wasted site visit for both of us.

  2. 02

    Define the scope

    We measure, check what is behind the walls where we can, and put the work in writing — what is included and what is not.

    We measure, look at what is behind the walls where we can, and write the scope down: what is included, what is not, what we would recommend and what we would leave alone. You get that in writing before you are asked to commit to anything.

  3. 03

    Build it

    A scheduled crew, a sequence you can follow, and a clean site at the end of each working day.

    You get a schedule and a crew. If something unexpected turns up — water damage, out-of-square framing, a permit condition — we stop, show you, and price it as a change before continuing. No silent additions.

  4. 04

    Final walkthrough

    We walk the finished work with you and close out anything on the list before we call it done.

    We walk the finished work with you, list anything that is not right, and close that list out. The job is done when you agree it is done, not when the crew leaves.

Questions

The things people ask first

Is the estimate free?

Yes. There is no charge and no obligation for an estimate.

How soon can you start?

It depends on the crew schedule and on lead times for anything that has to be ordered. We give you a realistic date rather than an optimistic one.

Do you handle permits and inspections?

Where the work requires them, yes. We tell you at the estimate whether your project needs a permit, because it affects both the price and the schedule.

What happens if the price changes?

Only through a written change order that you approve first. If we find something behind a wall, we photograph it and show you before anything is covered back up.

Who is actually on site?

Our crews, with a point of contact you can reach. You will know who is coming and roughly what they are doing that week.

Do you own the home?

Everyone on the title needs to be there for the walkthrough, so it helps to know up front.
