Once you’ve committed to a whole house renovation, there are a lot of factors to consider to ensure that the final result is exactly what you envisioned.

There are a lot of options when it comes to home remodeling services. When making a hiring decision, here are a couple tips beyond the usual due diligence of calling references and checking licenses:

Make sure your home remodeling designer can bring your style to life. Does every complete home remodel they’ve done look the same?  They shouldn’t!  Your home and your style are unique, so your whole home remodel shouldn’t look like everyone else’s. Seeing a range of designs in their portfolio shows they can listen to their clients and adapt their designs, whether you’re looking for a trendy modern home renovation or something more traditional.

Your team must have the ability to tie the style and integrity of all the rooms together and create a seamless and integrated flow throughout the house. In our whole home renovations, what gets added and changed is just as important as what doesn’t. Your remodel designer needs to have a vision of how to integrate the old with the new, so that you can feel the harmony in your new space.

Some of our clients move out of their home, which allows us to remodel from start to finish. Others choose to live at home during construction, which means a phased process is necessary. You can choose what works best for you and your family. Our team has experience in working closely with families to minimize disruption and keep the workplace clean and safe at all times.
