A home remodel is an exciting transformation-but it also comes with a lot of moving parts. Understanding what to expect at each stage can help homeowners feel more in control and avoid surprises.
1. Planning & Design Phase
This is where it all begins. We meet to discuss goals, take measurements, and develop layout ideas. Material selections, finishes, and a detailed scope of work are finalized. This phase may involve:
- Design meetings
- Budget planning
- Permit submissions (if required)
2. Pre-Construction Walkthrough
Before work starts, we walk through the site to confirm the plan, review any last-minute details, and clarify expectations. You’ll also receive:
- Project schedule overview
- Contact info for your lead point of contact
3. Demolition & Rough Work
Once construction begins, things move fast:
- Old materials are removed
- Framing, plumbing, electrical, and HVAC rough-ins are completed
- Inspections (if needed) are scheduled and passed before closing walls
4. Drywall, Flooring, and Painting
After inspections, your space starts taking shape:
- Insulation and drywall go in
- Flooring is installed
- Primer and paint are applied
5. Trim, Cabinets, and Finish Work
This is when your project really comes to life:
- Cabinets, built-ins, and millwork are installed
- Fixtures (lighting, hardware, etc.) are added
- Touch-ups and detailing are completed
6. Final Walkthrough & Punch List
We walk the project with you to ensure satisfaction. Any small fixes or details (the “punch list”) are addressed. Once approved, we provide:
- Care instructions for materials
- Final invoice and close-out documents
Common Questions from Clients:
- *Will I need to move out?* Not always, but you may lose use of a room for a period of time.
- *How long will it take?* Each project is unique, but we give a timeline before we begin.
- *What if we want to change something during construction?* Change orders can be submitted and approved during the process.
Helpful Tips for a Smooth Remodel:
- Keep pets and children away from active work zones
- Cover or move nearby valuables and electronics
- Ask questions early-there are no bad questions
