How it Works:

If you just want some new crown moulding or a simple shelf installed, the scope of work is fairly self explanatory. It's just a matter of specifying the details and scheduling the work to be done. If you don't know what options there are for crown moulding, I can help you with that.

Some people are very good at visualizing what they want, but if you can't, that's where good drawings and design experience come in to help. Especially with more involved jobs like kitchens and bathrooms. Some of my customers hire an architect or design firm to help them with the plans. Others draw out a sketch themselves and that's a really good start. At the very least you need to have a good idea of what you want so you can explain it to me, then I can work with you to develop the design and draw it for you. Either way, the bigger the job the more important the drawings become. Complex jobs include a set of drawings with the contract to clarify the specifications and the scope of work.

Another consideration for any job is your time frame. Are you in a hurry to get it done, or can you wait awhile? My lead time in getting started on a project can be as much as several months, so the sooner you contact me, the sooner I can work your project into my schedule.

One of the first things to consider with any job is determining your budget so that I can help with a design that fits. For some people money is not an issue, but for most of us it is. Value engineering a project to fit your needs can save you money and my resources and experience can help you with that. I can also help to ensure that your project provides you with an adequate return on your investment based on several factors.

For our first consultation, you won't have to get your hands dirty, but I will ask you a lot of questions about things you may have never considered. Put on your thinking cap and start making a list of ideas, wants, and needs. Feeling inspired by a european kitchen? Google "european kitchen pictures" and browse through thousands of intriguing ideas. Pinterest and Houzz are also good places to develop ideas. Look through a copy of Architectural Digest at the newsstand. Start getting involved in the thought process before our first meeting. I have many years of experience transforming homes, but for best results, I need your input. With our collaborative efforts, everyone will be thrilled with the results.
