It depends on the size of the room, how much the layout changes and the materials you choose, so we don’t quote from a price list. On the free phone consultation we give you a rough ballpark. After the in-home visit you get one written, fixed price, with allowances for your selections and contingencies built in.
The phone consultation is free, and it ends with a rough ballpark. The in-home visit and detailed written estimate have a fee based on the size of the project. It’s waived if you hire us.
One fixed price for the whole project, with allowances for your selections and contingencies built in. You see it in writing before you commit to anything.
Tell us as soon as you can. We price the change before it is built, so you always know where the number stands, and we adjust the build schedule with you.
Most kitchen and bath remodels take 4 to 8 weeks of construction. Whole-home timelines depend on the scope. Before we start, you get a shared build schedule with every phase and date.

Before any work starts, your contractor should tell you which permits your project needs. Our owner, Ryan Waddill, is an ICC-certified building inspector.
At the end of every job you get a branded PDF record of your remodel: before and after photos, your selections, inside-the-walls photos, the materials used, and care and warranty information.
No. Margaret, our designer, shops finishes, fixtures and materials with you, so your selections work together and fit the allowances in your estimate.
