How it works

Four steps take a job from your first message to the final walkthrough, followed by how the work is priced.

From first talk to finished work

Consult
You tell me what you need, and I visit or review photos.
For mid-sized and larger jobs, the visit comes first. Small, clear-cut jobs may be scoped from good photos.
Written scope & price
Then you approve it in writing before work starts.
The scope names the work, the plan and the price. Nothing starts until you say yes.
The work
Photo updates as the work moves along, and every decision in writing.
Final walkthrough
I walk the finished work with you.

Punch lists
Priced task by task, in half-day or full-day visits.
Larger projects
Priced from a clear scope, set out in phases, with options listed. We bring in experienced trades for the phases that need them.
Smallest job
A half-day visit, about four hours. That can be several tasks grouped into one day. A single small task is best grouped with a few others.
Visit first
For most jobs, the price follows a visit. Photos are enough only for small, clear-cut jobs.
Changes
If the work changes, I write up the change and its price, and you approve it in writing before that work starts.
Deposit
Any deposit is no more than one-third of the total price, or the actual cost of special-order materials that must be ordered before work starts, if that is more.
Contract
The work is done under a written contract.

This is an example of how I help you scope a project and see the impact of design decisions up front. During scoping or design planning, we compare options such as styles, colors and materials in visuals of your own space, so you choose with confidence before work starts. I may use an AI visualization tool on my side to prepare them.
Visuals help you choose. They are not drawings, quotes or promises of the final result, and any photos of your space are used only with your permission.
