We don't just do the work.  We just don't do the work.
Custom Building, Renovations, Fine Carpentry

The earlier we can be involved in your project, the greater the prospect for success. Even if you intend to hire an architect or design professional, a good builder will be able to help you avoid the worst pitfalls of pre-construction. You need to know about costs before the design step produces something you cannot afford. We're happy to provide input on the development of budget, product and materials selection, effective room layout, and more.

Mid to large-scale projects are broken down into four phases:

  • Step 1: Feasibility Analysis
    During the feasibility analysis we determine the approximate scope of the project. This includes a preliminary layout and sketches of the proposed work with general specifications.  We then provide an approximate budget based upon our previous projects. Finally we check with municipal officials to determine if any regulations exist which might prevent the work from proceeding.
  • Step 2: Design and Estimate Phase
    Next we work with you to create a design. Our criteria for successful project design are simple:  you should like and understand the design, and the project based on that design should be within your budget. For larger projects, we may refer you to an architect, with whom we’ll work closely. Once the design is complete, we provide a detailed estimate that includes fixed-cost items for all those elements of the design that we have been able to specify.
  • Step 3:Building Phase
    Our team works with you through every step of building construction, right down to helping you select a paint color! We recognize that any renovation is disruptive to the occupants of a home, so we do our very best make the process as enjoyable as possible.
  • Step 4: Following up
    At the end of the work we perform a full job review. A year after the job completion, we return again and review both the design and construction. Because most of our work is referral or repeat customers, your satisfaction is imperative to our success
