Our Renovation Process

A renovation should move from idea to written scope and schedule without vague promises.

One home, four stages

Follow a full-home renovation from existing to lived-in.

Full home before renovation with dated oak kitchen and worn hardwood floors

Existing home

Dated finishes, worn floors and a layout that no longer fits the household.

Full home during renovation with protected floors and cabinets being rebuilt

Work in progress

Protected floors, opened walls and a written scope being built line by line.

Full home after renovation with new kitchen, floors and a lit fireplace

Finished space

The same rooms, rebuilt — new kitchen, new floors, light where it was missing.

Finished lived-in home interior with plants and daily-use bathroom and hallway

Lived-in home

Settled and in daily use — the result that matters after the tools leave.

  1. Existing home
  2. Work in progress
  3. Finished space
  4. Lived-in home

Process overview

The process is designed to reduce surprises before demolition, not after.

1. Project intake

Confirm project type, city, property type, rough budget, timing, and whether drawings, permits, or photos exist.

2. Scope review

Separate must-haves, optional upgrades, known risks, site constraints, and decisions that affect cost.

3. Written estimate

Prepare a written scope with assumptions, exclusions, allowances, and next steps before work is approved.

4. Schedule and coordination

Plan access, materials, trade sequencing, site protection, communication, and walkthrough checkpoints.

Decision points

Budget, layout, drawings, permits, finish selections, access, trade work, and schedule assumptions should be resolved before final approval.
