In-Home Consultation & Design Retainer
Once we’ve established that we’re a great fit, we’ll schedule a visit to your home to collect the necessary details for your estimate. Following this, you’ll come to our office where we will present the project investment range and a Project Development Agreement (Retainer).
To proceed, a deposit between $4,500 and $12,000 (or more for additions) will be required. This deposit, which can be conveniently signed and paid at our office, secures your Project Development Agreement.

Design & Preliminary Design Proposal
We’ll collaborate closely with you to craft your design, presenting it in detailed 3D perspectives. Together, we’ll finalize key product selections and approve the floorplan, cabinet layout, and other crucial elements. Once these are confirmed, we will establish a clear price range.
Next, we’ll provide you with a Preliminary Design Proposal, which includes a refined investment range and a comprehensive scope of work. At this stage, a PDP payment—4% of the updated estimated project cost—will be collected. Upon payment, you’ll gain access to our software system, allowing you to track the progress of your project.

At this point, the final payment for the Project Development phase—10% of the total project cost, minus the Retainer and PDP payments—will be due.
With the project cost finalized, we’ll sign the Home Improvement Contract, which solidifies your payment schedules, allowances, and the final project cost. This agreement marks the start of the Construction Phase.

Pre-Construction Meeting
Before we begin demolition and construction, we’ll meet with you to go over the details of your project and your lifestyle. We’ll address factors such as accessibility, security, health concerns, as well as the needs of children, pets, and any other relevant specifics. This discussion ensures you’re fully prepared for the construction phase.
Construction
We will take care of ordering all materials, obtaining necessary engineering and building permits, and scheduling our crews for demolition and construction. You can track the progress and schedule of your project on our online dashboard, accessible from your computer or smartphone. Throughout the process, your project manager and superintendent will keep you updated and maintain regular communication with you.
Project Completion
We complete your project, paying attention to every last beautiful detail. This includes finishing the punch list, passing the final inspection, and finalizing the owner's acceptance agreement. At this stage, our goal is to ensure your complete satisfaction with the finished work.
Post-Construction
For the next year, we’ll stay in touch to make sure everything is running smoothly. Please don’t hesitate to contact us if any issues arise. And if you're like many of our clients, we look forward to working with you again on your next project!
