Designing Your Remodel

Phase 1: Plan

The planning phase is where we explore every aspect of the project, from existing conditions to floor plans to material lists. Construction documents and 3D renders are created, and the overall scope of the project is outlined in a Program Book that you can send to contractors for realistic estimates. This phase is key to understanding the cost and timing of your project.

During this phase, we deep dive into what your dreams are for the project. We align on colors and styles, and create mood boards. Once we are confident in the vision, we explore specific materials, finishes, colors, and cabinet details. We narrow down a world of choices into the right selections for you to review and fall in love with. A Design Book is compiled with your selections and more in-depth construction drawings and instructions. A Product Schedule with selections, details, links, and pricing will be provided to you - you can use this as your shopping list or we can purchase for you.

Phase 2: Create

Collage of kitchen fixtures and appliances, including a wall-mounted sconce, flush mount ceiling light, pendant ceiling light, range hood, wall cabinet, marble countertop, wooden shelf, marble backsplash, gray floor tiles, white refrigerator, microwave oven, gas stove, black and gold side table, white farmhouse sink, gold faucet, black and gold table leg, vertical and horizontal tile samples.

Phase 3: Construction

During construction consider ourselves your lifeline. If a challenge presents itself (and it will) and it alters the Design Plan, we are available to help. We are also available to help with purchasing if that is a need. This phase is billed at an hourly rate.

A modern kitchen with white subway tile backsplash, wooden cabinets with gold hardware, a white farmhouse sink, and a blue and gold stove. Open wooden shelves hold plants, picture frames, and glassware. A window with natural light, a gold faucet, and black tile flooring complete the space.

Celebrate!

The best part is celebrating the work we’ve done together. Every project is as unique as the people involved. We look forward to meeting you and creating something special!
