The Process
When We Collaborate On a Renovation With You, Well Be Part of Your Daily Life.
When we join forces for a renovation project with you, we become an integral part of your daily life. Our approach involves streamlining the intricate home renovation process by amalgamating our award-winning design and build services under one roof. We aim to metamorphose residences into captivating and functional spaces that families will cherish.
Below is a basic timeline to give you an idea of what it’s like to collaborate with us. Remember that every project is unique, and these are just rough guidelines.
Explore (4 – 5 Weeks)
Embarking on a home remodeling journey can be both exhilarating and intimidating, possibly even a tad daunting. We diligently strive to demystify the unknown, providing clarity and addressing all your inquiries along the way.
Engage in a consultation with our sales team to explore your project’s details within the comfort of your home.
Conduct a thorough review of our website, peruse online reviews, and refer to our pricing guide to ensure that our services align perfectly with your project’s requirements.
Grant your approval for the proposal meticulously crafted by our sales team, outlining the specifics of your renovation project.
For clients seeking financing options, we have established connections with multiple banks that we can suggest. If you desire further details, please contact us directly, and we will facilitate your relationship with one of our trusted partners.
Design (8 – 12 Weeks)
Upon signing the design agreement, our dedicated design team will schedule an in-person meeting at your residence to discuss your vision for the transformed space. During this visit, our team will take precise measurements and photographs, initiating the creative process of reenvisioning your home.
Utilizing sketches, architectural elevations, and 3D rendering software, you’ll have the opportunity to examine your design from multiple perspectives.
Refine (3-5 Weeks)
In parallel with this phase, our team diligently focuses on the project’s core elements. This involves the assessment of engineering work for adherence to building codes, consultations with essential trade experts (such as plumbers, electricians, HVAC specialists, and masons), and the meticulous preparation of all necessary documents to pave the way for the construction phase.
Your Designer will lead you through the selection of your preferred materials and finishes at our showroom located in Durham. Here, you’ll have the opportunity to view cabinets, tiles, flooring, and paint together, providing you with a comprehensive visual representation of how they will cohesively appear in your space.
As a final step, you’ll visit our office once more, where we will present the conclusive proposal. This proposal will encompass a fixed-price bid and an exceptionally detailed scope of work.
With our exceptionally low change order rate and a high-quality initial product, you can have confidence in your decision. If you are satisfied with what you see, we will proceed to the construction phase.
Build (10 – 28 Weeks)
Upon the prompt execution of the build contract and the submission of your deposit, you will have the opportunity to meet with our Construction Manager and the appointed Superintendent. This meeting will allow you to discuss project details and establish the project’s commencement date.
Warranty Phase
With your dream renovation now finished, you can begin relishing your newly transformed spaces. Rest assured, our commitment to exceptional craftsmanship and top-notch carpentry extends from the moment our carpenters first arrive to the moment you bid them farewell. In addition, you can take comfort in the knowledge that our 2-year warranty is in place to address any unforeseen issues that may arise.
