Renovations are where homes reveal what they were always meant to be. Beneath outdated layouts and finishes are opportunities to improve how a house feels and functions for the people living in it now. Our role is to see those opportunities clearly, sort the practical from the possible, and guide the process with honesty, experience, and good design sense.
Here’s how the renovation process typically works:
This initial phase includes a getting-to-know-you conversation, followed by a site visit. We’ll talk through the property, the scope, timing, and budget so everyone starts on the same page.
The conceptual design phase is where we explore what’s possible. We meet the full team to review feasibility and uncover opportunities to make the home function better for your lifestyle. Early plans, inspiration boards, furnishing estimates, and initial selections are presented to set the direction.
Decisions are finalized in the detailed design plan. We’ll source materials, finalize trade pricing, and create a clear project schedule. You’ll review completed plans, elevations, selections, fabrics, and finishes, along with final investment numbers, so everything’s in good shape before renovation begins.
We handle permits, scheduling, trade coordination, orders, and inspections. We’ll be on site with each trade before work begins to walk through plans and address questions. Staying involved at this stage keeps work aligned and avoids costly revisions later. You’ll receive a weekly email update outlining what’s happening on site.
Furniture and décor deliveries are scheduled, the punch list is completed, and the space is prepared for everyday living. This is where the renovation shifts from project to home.
We close out the project with a project wrap-up that includes care and maintenance information, so you know how to look after your home long after the renovation is complete. If questions come up, we’re here to help.
