How a remodel comes together

The exact sequence depends on the room, the selections and what the crew finds on site.

01
Tell us about the room
Share the city, a few photos and what you want to change. Include a rough budget and any date you’re working toward.
02
Talk through the scope
An initial conversation covers priorities, location and budget. Bring up any part of the house that needs to stay usable.
03
Walk the site
A visit confirms measurements and visible conditions. The contractor can flag what needs investigation before pricing.
04
Review the estimate
Check included work, allowances and exclusions. Compare the scope line by line if you are collecting more than one quote.
05
Make selections and set a schedule
Confirm long-lead items, work hours, access and any permits or inspections that apply.
06
Build the project
Work starts with protection and demolition as needed. Document decisions that change the price or schedule.
07
Walk through the finished rooms
Review the agreed scope, write down remaining items and collect care information for the materials and fixtures.
