ValmaDesign-build remodeling

The order is the job.

Most remodeling problems are sequencing problems. This is the sequence we hold to, and what you should expect at each point.

  1. Walkthrough

    We come to the house, measure, and talk about money on the first visit. If the budget and the brief do not meet, you find out then rather than after you have paid for drawings.

    One visit

  2. Design and selections

    Drawings, elevations and a fixed scope. You choose cabinetry, tile and fixtures against a real allowance, so the number you sign is the number you pay.

    3 to 6 weeks

  3. Permits and schedule

    We file the drawings, book the trades and hand you a dated schedule. This is the step most homeowners are never shown, and it is where delays are actually created.

    4 to 10 weeks

  4. Build

    One project lead on site, the same person on the phone. You get a written update every Friday with what happened, what is next and anything that moved.

    Per schedule

  5. Punch list and warranty

    We walk the job with you and write down everything, however small, then finish it before we invoice the balance. Two-year workmanship warranty from that date.

    1 to 2 weeks

Step one is free.

The walkthrough costs nothing and commits you to nothing. You will know by the end of it whether your budget and your brief can meet.
