The overall timeline depends on the size and scope of your project, but every remodel moves through a clear set of steps that keep the project organized and on track.
Discovery (1–2 weeks): We start by learning about your goals, priorities, and budget. During this phase, we talk about what’s realistic for your space and provide a preliminary budget to help guide the next steps.
Design Phase (1–2 months): If you choose to move forward, the project enters the Design Agreement phase which is the creative portion of the process. With a clear understanding of how your space needs to function, we develop a conceptual design showing what your new space could look like. From there, we define the scope and prepare a detailed proposal outlining all aspects of the project, along with a final fixed-price contract.
Refinement Phase (1–2 months):
Next, you’ll work with our design team to choose the finishes and materials for your space—cabinetry, wood finishes, fixtures, paint colors, tile, flooring, and more. The goal is to make all major decisions before construction starts so there are fewer surprises later.Construction Phase (Typically 3–4 months):
Construction timelines vary depending on the size and complexity of the project, but most fall within this range. Because we’ve done the planning upfront, construction tends to move in a steady, organized way.Please note that these timelines are general estimates and will vary based on the size and scope of your project. Our goal is to always keep the process moving forward.
-
Our interior designers guide you through the selection process from start to finish. They help you choose finishes and materials that fit your space, your style, and your budget.
Our in-house design studio is available to you throughout the process, and when needed, our designers will accompany you to outside showrooms.
-
We work on projects of all sizes, from individual bathrooms and kitchens to additions, lower levels, and whole-home remodels. Whether it’s a smaller update or a large-scale renovation, the approach is the same. The relationship we build and the experience you have matter just as much as the size of the project. Our focus is on doing the work well and standing behind it.
-
In most cases, clients are able to stay in their homes during construction with some temporary adjustments. For example, during a kitchen remodel, many homeowners set up a temporary kitchen in another area of the house. We talk through logistics ahead of time so you know what to expect and can plan accordingly.
-
Our contract includes a one-year workmanship warranty, a two-year mechanical warranty, and a ten-year structural warranty.
We believe the work we do should perform as designed. If something needs attention, we want to know about it. We approach issues with the same mindset, standing behind our work and working toward a resolution when needed.
