Process FAQs
What is a design-build remodeler?
A design-build remodeler handles both the design and the construction under one contract — so you have a single accountable team instead of coordinating an architect, a designer, and a separate contractor.
Is the consultation really free?
Yes — the initial design consultation is free and carries no obligation.
When do I get a fixed price?
After the design phase, before any demolition. Your price is fixed and agreed up front.
