Our Process
Eight steps from first phone call to warranty paperwork. No surprises, no vanishing act, no verbal promises that are not in the contract.
Consultation Call
We start on the phone. A few questions about the property, the scope you have in mind and your timing tell us whether we are the right fit before anyone spends a Saturday on it.
On Site Walkthrough
We visit the property, measure, photograph conditions, check what is behind the walls where we can and talk about budget openly. This visit is free.
Design & Selections
We help you lock finishes, fixtures and layout. Where drawings or engineering are required, our design partners produce them and we review the options with you.
Written Proposal
You receive a line item scope, allowances, exclusions, a payment schedule and a fixed price. Read it, ask questions, mark it up. Nothing starts until it is signed.
Permits & Scheduling
We prepare and submit permit applications, coordinate engineering, order long lead materials and lock crew dates so the job has everything it needs on day one.
Construction
Demolition, rough in, inspections, finishes. Floors protected, dust contained, site cleaned daily, and a weekly written update from your project manager.
Punch List Walkthrough
We walk the finished space together and you list anything that is not right. We correct it before asking for the final payment, not after.
Closeout & Warranty
You receive final inspection records, warranty documentation, manufacturer paperwork and care instructions for everything we installed.
Communication
How we keep you in the loop
The single biggest complaint homeowners have about contractors is not price or quality. It is silence. We solve that with structure rather than good intentions.
- One project manager owns your job from contract to closeout
- A written weekly update covering progress, next week and any decisions we need from you
- Phone and email answered during business hours, Monday to Saturday
- Written change orders with pricing before extra work begins
- Photo documentation of work that gets covered up
What We Need From You
- Selections locked by the dates in the schedule
- Access to the property on scheduled work days
- Decisions on change orders within a few days so the crew is not idle
- HOA or condo approvals where they apply
- Payments per the contract schedule as milestones complete
Process Questions
Good to know before we start
Can I live in the house during the renovation?
For single room projects, usually yes. For whole home renovations, most clients move out for the structural and mechanical phases. We will tell you honestly which category your project falls into during the walkthrough.
How do payments work?
Payments follow a milestone schedule written into your contract, typically a deposit at signing followed by progress payments as defined phases complete. The final payment is due after the punch list is cleared.
What happens if we find something unexpected?
Older South Florida homes hide things. When we open a wall and find a problem, we stop, document it, price the fix and get your written approval before continuing. You are never billed for work you did not approve.
Do you work with my own designer or architect?
Yes, and it usually goes well. We can also bring in our own design and engineering partners if you would rather have one team handle everything.
How long does permitting take?
It depends on the municipality and scope. Simple interior permits can move in a couple of weeks. Additions and structural work can take considerably longer. We give you a realistic window at proposal time and update you as it moves.
