What we build

Renovations, start to finish.

From first walkthrough to final walkthrough.

Four stages, one schedule and a weekly update. You'll know what's happening in your house before it happens.

  1. Visit

    Free in-home consultation

    We walk the space with you, measure, look at what's behind the access panels and in the furnace room, and talk through how you want to use it and what you want to spend.

  2. Design & quote

    Layout, selections and an itemized quote

    A drawn layout, a finish list you've actually seen in person, and a fixed, itemized price with a realistic schedule. Nothing gets ordered until you sign off.

  3. Build

    Permits, protection and the build

    We pull the permits, protect floors and seal off dust, then sequence the trades so inspections happen on time and work never stalls waiting on the next crew.

  4. Handover

    Walkthrough & written warranty

    We go room by room with you, fix anything on the list, hand over the closed permits, manuals and your written warranty, and stay a phone call away.
